<div class="IPBDescription">Ns waiting games</div>Well, seems MonsE isn't doing his PR job very well, so here it is for the folks who don;t visit the readyroom as often as I do <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

The Readyroom has gone Redneck!!! Coming early next week, the Readyroom will be proud to present the First Annual <b>Flaytona 500 NSTR2 Racing Event</b>. Players will compete in several races to establish standing, then have elimination races down to a final field, depending on the number of players we have showing up. Everything will also be 'taped' into demo loops, with an AVI highlight reel available to all you loyal NS fans. We even have loot for the winners! Check it: <a href="http://www.readyroom.org" target="_blank">http://www.readyroom.org</a> for more info on prizes and rules!

*NOTE* : The <u><b>NSTR2 is NEEDED</b></u> for this! Get the download links at the readyroom too!

    Slippery surface + push entity = speed that you never thought possible it was done on slideways_g in gloom for example

    As for the maps, they will be coming soon, some mappers are just pumping out a few more, and all the maps needed for the racing will be included in a file for your dowloading enjoyment!

    1.30 AM .. is that the same as 13.30 ? If it is I won't be home for another 30 mins. You think I can still compete after 30 mins of the first start ?

    Erm... Mons? How much blood was left in your alcohol when you came up with that idea?

    Anyway, setting the contest on 7.30 EST really kicks us Europeans, it'll be at least midnight over here. If you want to stick with monday, at least try and put it on 5.30. Or how about saturday?

    Hmmm. Well, if we need to do a weekend race, it will have to be next Saturday. Otherwise the mappers won't have enough time. Then we could aim for a late afternoon race. It's usually funnier if it's late and you're getting squirrely, though...

    Why not hold seperate lagues for the Europeans and the rest of the world. Then we dont have to compete when were all tired and slow. I think its all a conspiracy to stop us from winning <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Hmmmm - an excellent idea! The only issue is we need enough European competitors in the field to make it worth the race. And I'm out 2 sets of prizes!

    Im in! i already said i would be in, but i can't because i have exam-week. otherwise i would stay awake, A european tournament sounds like the solution. If there are not enough competitors i say we go for the weekend. Although then my just-finished map ns_hazardcourse would have much more competition. Its fun to play i think but it looks eehm... ugly.

    -

    If we have a european and non-european cup, we could make a intercontinental final? this could be in the middle of the night for me (i have my last exam tuesday (:)

    I'd say have separated tournaments but with a final in the weekend for both tournaments. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, great idea Kassinger.

    Europeans play off against each other, as do the rest of the world. A certain amount from each go through to the final which is for everyone (depending upon how many people are in each league)

    I say forget about the actual game for first prize - I don't think many people would like that game anyway.  Make it somthing simpler, and if you're feeling EXTRA kind you can make 1st place be a spot on the beta testing team.

    OK, I'm not promising, but I'll try to get an NSTR2 update out to you folks before race night.  In it, I'm thinking of including:

     1. Player IDs (when you look at someone)
     2. Allowing bunny jumping (there should be SOME racing skill involved)
     3. Holding crouch means you can't fall off walls

    I'm not sure if I'll have time to work on it, or if the auto-update will work smoothly, but we'll see. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    That would be the IRC channel on irc.gamesnet.com in the #naturalselection channel. Check out the main page FAQ for more info (though not much more) on how to get in there. (Use mIRC, Luke! Use mIRC! )

    Kassigner, I don't know if this will work or not, but try setting the IRC option (forget where) for time until timeout from 60 seconds to 120.  That worked for me at home, as it would timeout before then.

    See other post. The Flaytona will be delayed until next weekend due to lack of racer submissions and a few mappers still tidying things up. Oh, and those pesky timezoned Euro's. Bah! You're all just jealous beacuse you missed the boat to Plymouth Rock!
