Hawkeye · May 2003

I think a better skulk race would be something like this.

Every skulk should be able to evolve with 3 hives with any abilities they please. The first room would be where the bottom is far below, and the top surface is twisty and difficult to stick to unless you were good at wall walking. If you fell, your penalty would be to climb from the bottom back up and to the next room. It should be carefully designed so that leaping would NOT give you an edge here (it is possible). If it isn't possible, we can always have cameramen/referees to take screenshots.

At the end of the room, you'd then have a series of platforms different distances apart. Perhaps even a few tricky obstacles in the way you'd have to leap around too. This would exercise your ability to leap. If you had adrenaline here, for instance, it would benefit you greatly, but you'd also have to be smart enough not to lose all your energy at once. Skill in places other than wall-climbing you see.

The third and final skill would be a room with a huge drop with a line around the room near the bottom. The goal? Seeing how close you can xenocide without actually crossing the line. The skulk that gets the closest to the line in the minimum amount of time wins the skulk race. Celerity would help you out the whole time in the race, but adrenaline would help you out in specific parts. It'd take a skilled map-maker to make this map well.

Comprox · May 2003

If you want to make all the maps needed for that, go right ahead. Otherwise, this race is still proceeding as planned, so get those final teams together dangnabit! <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

KI6 · May 2003

Well, while we're waiting, why not get some maps tweaked with sprites as signs to show idiots like me where to go? Like I said, I can't memorize the overview map, nor can I print it. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Go to a library or something.

Also, you could save it as a picture, or keep the window up and just minimize natural-selection and make refrences to it every now and then.

You will lose your sound, but you don't need it.

That_Annoying_Kid · May 2003

INCOMING SHAMELESS PLUG!

you may not need sound, but we need teams

ahahahahahahahaha

no seriously, tell your friends who play NS to make a skulkrace team, we need it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'>

I even stepped up and took over organizing it when Comprox decided to take a short leave from the forums, however since I'm going to be helping to run/ref it I dunno if I will participate...

KI6 · June 2003

We're probably going to race after 1.1 comes out, since there's just too many people required to race. We can either shorten up the number of teams (and probably reject a team to even things up), or we can continuing waiting by begging mappers to add in arrow decal signs so the racers won't forget their routes and get lost. That and since 1.1 is going through a lot of work, that may provide enough time for more skulk teams to join. (I really want to have decal signs into those maps. Heck, maybe throw in some fake sponsor decals to make it a real professional race.)

MercsDragon · June 2003

would like to register for a spot, team {H2O-R}. Not sure about the players yet, have at least 8 interested in being on the team so far. I'll most likely be the captain, may change.

That_Annoying_Kid · June 2003

excellent!
sounds good, give me some names of the players and I will ad your team to the list.

Yeah, lets add arrows all over the map, so that way we can add to the atmosphere... <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>

Dude, if you can't remember the routes then you must do terrible in school. The routes are extreamly basic.

Twilight1 · June 2003

ill be in any team needing a skulk dont mind which

Amped1 · June 2003

It's knida hard to memorize something that your brain just doesn't consider important. A night of sleep is all your brain needs to eject the routes from your head. <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'>

You guys have to joking! It's terribly easy to memorize.

Just run the routes over yourself once or twice, then on the race day you shall remember exactly where you are going.

i dont know anyone who plays NS but i want to be part of the race it sounds fun so if there are any vacancies in a team ill fill it <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/skulk.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='skulk.gif'>

Nice!

NS radio is throwing together a team, bringing the count to 12, which means we only need four more teams, I've asked Cri.tical to see if any Cri. are willing to participate and NS radio will plug it a couple times on air, things are moving forward

I know I can, I've got every single NS map memorized in my head.

I don't think you realize how simple the routes are. They are not obsucure, and they involve 5 people running them... which means you have less than 20 seconds of track time to recall.

Try running them first before commenting on them.

Okay sounds good to me

Comprox pointed out what I was just going to say, you only need to memorize your leg of the race. There is a reason why there are 5 members per team.

I've gotten in contact with NS radio and there going to plug the races/get a team going so were down to 4, and I'm going to be asking some clans if they want to throw a team together (UVic, Cri., etc)

I belive it's safe to say they will be held on Nano-gridlock.

Let's keep those teams rolling in!
