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

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

This also applies to the general respawn team.

Yea, that makes sense.

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

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?

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?

i reckon we just wreck everyone in the finals

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.

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

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

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

dunno, do you want us to

Strewth, there was some tough competition this time around!

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

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)

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.

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

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?

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?
