Carball + Deathball = One Big Ballin Community

Well I saw a post from Imaginos and I was somewhat intrigued by the animosity between the two groups of people. It almost seems like the two mods are indirectly intertwined through the common use of the word ball and the fact that carball (when installed) shows up on your gametype list, even when you are in your deathball browser.
I noticed some peoples comments about your attempted world cup and how things went with that. Our world cup was a lot of fun in itself but it didn't run as smoothly as you would think either.
I am the one responsible for setting up our world cup, the teams, and even our new league that is starting up. I am also the one who put together the current dev team for carball after the mod was handed over from its original creator after version 2.0. Also anytime you play the mod carball over 50% of the time you are either playing on a map made by me or one that has been worked on by me.
I have been playing a little more deathball lately because one can only spend so much time on one mod and I find deathball to be very enjoyable in certain circumstances. It was definitely hard at first and I have been yelled at and called a
more times then I can recall. At this point in my deathball career I'm a pretty good goalie and thats all I can be proud of. You can find me on buds most of the time using the name Orange Julius even though my carball name is Oddjob. The members of my particular carball team CCBS are Vealslap, Gruelsicle, me and Rakshasas. You probably see gruel and vealslap most of the time if you see us.
I guess the main reason I am here is due to Imaginos post about carball and its notoriaty on gamespy. I am trying to further promote the mod just as much as you guys obviously are. I am posting to see if the deathball community would be interested in the Carball community on coming up with some kind of event our maybe a weekly get together where we help each other learn the others mod. Or maybe we can schedule deathball matches between to Carball teams and vice versa for you guys just for fun. Being able to advertise such events on beyondunreal and other sources can only help the mods and not hurt them. I think that it is an interesting idea and with enough patient and nice people it can be really fun. I just want to get past all the bs people have to put up with when they first decide to try out a mod.
