Flaytona slightly delayed

<div class="IPBDescription">Water in the gas tank</div>Since we are trying to let our european friends join in (and due to a lack of submissions for racers), we are going to have to delay the Flaytona 500 until next weekend. I don't think I made it clear enough about sending in an email in order to race, so I've only gotten about 15 requests. Oops. I will post that point again (and all week) to make sure we get some more people into the field, and we will be aiming for a Saturday/Sunday race. Sorry folks.

    Hrm...if you're planning to have it at 7pm eastern, could you please consider holding it on a friday?  I've got a really weird schedule going on, where I have school sunday-thursday and friday and saturday is my weekend.

    I know this is just me, though, so the decision is up to you.  Another way you could do it is have it be late on eastern time, say 11 pm.  That way us peeps in the euro time zone can wake up early to play.

    Well, whatever you decide to do is fine with me.  I've said my bit.

    well, it can be anytime between 4pm and 10pm GMT on weekdays, and 4pm friday to 10 pm sunday for the weekend as far as i'm concerned

    (that's 6pm to 12am eastern and 6pm friday to 12am sunday for those of you too lazy to translate the times <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo--> <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

    also, will we be able to substitute prizes? suppose i actually win 1st (yeah, right <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> ) i for one don't like racing games for the computer (i like them for console systems, but it just seems wrong for computers...) would i be able to substitute nascar heat for another game of equal value?  or are you just gonna send us nascar heat regardless of objections?

    Hmmm - an excellent point. how about I make it 'A racing game of your choice for under $50, for the system of your choice'? I have an xbox for example, and would only race on that personally.

    MonsE, does that count NS racing?? <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

    (Maybe you could make an Xbox version of NS, Gates needs the money)
  • CyonProCyonPro Join Date: 2002-02-02 Member: 154Members
    Gates definitely does NOT need the money <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

    Well...  I guess I probably <i>could</i> update and fix up Race and Race2...

    But I probably won't  Compared to the "proffesional" stuff that some people are putting out, it just doesn't seem worth it.
  • CyonProCyonPro Join Date: 2002-02-02 Member: 154Members
    So far your maps are the most professional I've seen (excluding Merk; he eats professionalism for breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner).
  • RavenousRavenous Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 48Members
    SO US eastern time is GMT -5 hours. And I live GMT +1 hour.
    SO it's a 6 hours difference.
  • CyonProCyonPro Join Date: 2002-02-02 Member: 154Members
    yeah just put up a chart listing what time the game will be in all time zones.....shouldnt take very long, and you can skip the ones that are in the middle of the ocean.
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Bah. Then I'd get complaints from HL playters living on the lost continent of Atlantis.
  • CyonProCyonPro Join Date: 2002-02-02 Member: 154Members
    Egad! Our largest audience too!

    (That would indeed be a PR nightmare.)

    BTW MonsE, did you receive my application for Flaytona?
  • pielemuispielemuis Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 72Members, NS1 Playtester
    And mine? And mine?
    Well i'm cool with it if you place it on a saturday and schedule the race at lets say 3-4 PM, well it's really up to you monsE, guess most people from these boards are american anyway.
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    I got both. I managed to forget to email you back a reply. I think I will setup an auto-responder for that email account.
  • CyonProCyonPro Join Date: 2002-02-02 Member: 154Members
    Sounds like a plan, PR-man.

    Yeah, but all we want is a custom avatar or the cd of our races.  Besides...We have no lives..and we're lonely...so very lonely...



    BTW, I will be shooting for Second or Third place. <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> They're the only prizes that interest me.
  • Shuvit_ViperShuvit_Viper Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 62Members
    U got mine? i emailed you twice (one time to email the file, one time a message in-forum if you had received it  <!--emo&:angry:--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':angry:'><!--endemo--> ) but nooo... no response...
    doesnt matter youre a busy man, as long as you get it in the races OR give me a reason why not. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->
  • pielemuispielemuis Join Date: 2002-01-25 Member: 72Members, NS1 Playtester
    e-mail the file?
    what file?
  • JedisarJedisar Join Date: 2002-03-03 Member: 264Awaiting Authorization
    Hey, Monse, question. If I end up getting first place in the Flaytona, would I be able to substitute that prize for a custom avatar for something?
  • MonsieurEvilMonsieurEvil Join Date: 2002-01-22 Member: 4Members, Retired Developer, NS1 Playtester, Contributor
    Ehhh, I guess so? Can't see why you'd turn down a racing game though...
  • JedisarJedisar Join Date: 2002-03-03 Member: 264Awaiting Authorization
    Because I'd rather have the Avatar or the cd of my race, or both. If I'm worried about getting in Third place to get the Avatar, then I'd be unable to do much of anything. <!--emo&:(--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':('><!--endemo-->

    Anyway, I dunno if I'll do too good..I WAS supposed to train on the new maps from 11pm to 7am..but I spent until 1:25 getting just Itsame working on my computer...so..that's down the drain.
