FLATOUT2 COMP, pics the car to handicap deadman and oohms! Options

[dead_man]

Ok, so since me and oohms have a very bad habit of not failing in flatout2 we are giving the players the option to choose the car we will race with @ V17!

Pick from any of the above cars and we will both use that car for the entire Comp!.

-Dead_Man

[Amebix]

You guys are freaks at that game, I usually give up on the first lap.

[Tank]

I am disappointed that you will not let us pick the school bus for you! ;P

[R4N]

Chilli.

[Jagster]

Why handicap a player a player must use the cars that are assigned if u don't like it then tuff luck.

[gyix]

chilli yes now where talking

Question: What happens in case of a tie?

[SirSquidness]

Question: What happens in case of a tie?

I'll remove my vote.

[dead_man]

Question: What happens in case of a tie?

most likely either flip a coin, or the weekend before the lan we will keep shotting SOMETHING until one give up, winner pics the car!

The Bullet's actually a good car, it might make an interesting change of pace without skewing things too much

[oohms]

The bullet is a bit better than we thought initially

[R4N]

I think this thread just divided by 0...

oops lol

[Shub0xx]

Now that there is cash prizes for FlatOut 2 comp, does this mean that admins won't b winning this time around?

[Tank]

They can win, however any prizes will be passed down.

eg; deadman comes 1st, playerX comes second. Deadman would 'win' 1st place, however the prizemoney would go to playerX.


if this makes sense

[R4N]

This also applies to the general respawn team.

Yea, that makes sense.

[oohms]

Since me or deadman can't win the prizes this time, the competition should be fierce

[priorax]

Not related to Flatout in general, but if a member of the admin team were to join a team-game like TF2 and it had a cash prize, would they still get to keep it?

[R4N]

Nope, heres a rule.

If its a physical prize e.g. a keyboard or mouse, a member of respawn team can win and claim the prize

ANY cash prize cannot be claimed by a member of the respawn team.

In the case of a team competition the prize would be distributed among the rest of the players.

cool beans?

[dead_man]

i reckon we just wreck everyone in the finals

[That Commander]

You're kidding? That's why you were racing with a Bullet, Dead Man?? I was wondering what happened to oohms.

I hope you guys don't handicap yourselves next lan.

*edit*

Sorry, don't want to come across as whiney. It was a great event and I can't wait for the next race.

[dead_man]

actually this is something we decided well before the prizes where announced for flatout2, more so to challenge ourselves. all in all, i actually prefer the stock bullet over the GT, faster cornering

[oohms]

I was wondering what happened to oohms.

I was using the chilli pepper, the CTR sport, the bullet and the school bus
But when i used the bullet i raped

Thought it was good to give someone else a chance this time

w should have a school bus race as part of the torny

[That Commander]

So this lan (V18), are you still going race handicapped?

[dead_man]

dunno, do you want us to

[That Commander]

Strewth, there was some tough competition this time around!

Did so many people compete that they had to have two heats this time around?

[oohms]

I think being 'racing themed' we thought we should run it with an extra round, so more people get a second chance... Too bad the power failures occurred in the middle of it all

Also i very nearly didn't make it to the finals (I'm sure next time Dicko will beat me)

[That Commander]

Yeah that power failure was a drag. I think I fell asleep for nearly an hour and a half at my desk waiting for the final race.

Second question: has the Figure of Eight 2 always been the final map?

*edit: there was only one power failure.

[dead_man]

no, we used to run crash alley but that would always cause ppl to crash (*pun intended)

its a nice small track with many area's to crash, this makes it more fun

[R4N]

*edit: there was only one power failure.

I picked figure of eight 2 yonks ago as it provided a balance between the 2 quite even flatout 2 playstyles.
Those being racing people and derby people

I am pondering the idea of using next event to build up a flatout2 ladder. Which i would eventually like to use to run 2 competitions for different skill levels. E.g. a pro competition for people like dead_man and missingo, and a standard competition for people like me

Thoughts?

[That Commander]

Sounds like a plan. I would imagine the standard competition would not attract a prize? Or perhaps the 50 dollar prize is given to first place? Just thinking of the possibility of a pro entering the standard competion.

What else would be interesting is making some races use particular classes. While the Bullet GT is awesome, it would nice from a variety point of view to race with something else. Is that possible?

hey ive made final every respawn lol, and that figure 8 race allways gets me haha

[dead_man]

it stuffs me aswell.

i vote finals should be 3 races and a derby

[oohms]

Figure 8 is easy, just slow down before the jump and practice that one turn

[soulink]

it stuffs me aswell.

Good idea, a multie race final would make it more fair, like 1 derby, 1 dirt race and one road race, therefore whoever wins the final realy is master of all 3 styles

[dead_man]

speedway left, sand speedway and sky scraper derby

10 laps for the races!

[R4N]

I probably should change things up for next lan. Depending on the amount of people who play (there are usually fucktonnes) and the status of our other competitions, i would be quite open to a multi race final. where the winner is decided on the score generated by flatout 2 tournament mode. 2 races and a derby, then a 10 lap arena track.

[That Commander]

I was hoping I would beat oohms at the Figure of Eight 2 map in the finals but I've always wanted to race him properly, but as of yet still have not been put in the same server. Should liven things up a bit!

[oohms]

You'll have to bribe r4n next event

If you want a game online sometime, hit me up on the respawn irc channel

[That Commander]

Righto

I will see if I can get some interest for an online game from the other members of this forum. I cannot get online until next Sunday (31st October) at any rate.

Never played Flatout2 online before so should be interesting!

[oohms]

Flatout 2 works online without any kind of DRM/serial checking, so its easy

Chances are a few others in the channel will be up for a game too

[Jen]

I demand a final like blur, that was an intense final with the lead changing so many times, until sydney won the race and everyone walked out
ps: we still SORT of love you sydney

[That Commander]

Well that was a good comp, thanks for ditching the Figure of Eight 2 map in the final, for a change
