Yeah, the Iron Gut and HDD throwing was placed on hold for this event sadly guys. It's something I will talk to R4N aboot. (yes for some reasin at 5:33am I am speaking with Canadian dialect)...
Besides the hourly... "We are going to play <Insert game here>" do you have any other suggestions?
Also, 7-11 made reference to "admins should walk around and announce them and help players", sadly the difficulty here is, We like you, are here to game rather than support you in terms of the "how-to". SirSquid more often than not in his own time leading up to our events, puts together "Respawn DVDs" with the free games that the fun comps are often based off. These are also available off ftp.respawn.lan also (this includes steam suddenly seeing we have an event and doing an update).
That said, your suggestions are entirely valid and R4N has certainly noted them amongst the group of us helpers who help the admins run the event. If you are keen on stepping up and being part of the team too, we're all ears... send R4N a PM with
this link here.Cheers
