Smackdown 167: Not on the tractor!
Date: Sunday, February 18th
Time: 7 p.m. PDT, 9 p.m. Central, 10 p.m. EDT
Game: UT2004
Gametype: Elimination Tournament Edition
Mutator: BonusCombos
Map: DM-CBP2-KillbillyBarn

Let's give this a shot at making it an official-type Smackdown. A couple things to note: The map is part of the Community Bonus Pack so you will need to have that installed. EliminationTE will automatically download from the server if you don't have it installed. I will edit in a download link later so you can play around with it ahead of time if'n you like.

For those unaware, ElimTE works like this:

There is a point total. The first person to reach that total wins (we use the rule of thumb of 10x the number of players, so 5 players = 50 points, etc.) The game is divided into rounds, with a limited number of lives per round (default is 3). You get points two ways: by the old-fashioned method of killin' dudes and also by being one of the top three finishers in a round. The points earned per round will be:

1st place: 8 points
2nd place: 6 points
3rd place: 4 points

Bottom line is survivng is important, killin' is important and of course, style is very very important!

Hope to see youse there.

I'll have to check, but I think both Postal and I did fairly well in the 'most deaths' category. Besides, Postal's mohawk demands blasting.

both of y'all's incessant hopping around demands blasting.

The server is now up and running through a cycle of DM maps with bots.

Whoa Nelly! One of my stinkiest performances in a long time. I blame playing in windowed mode. Yep.

Congrats to Q, Circuit and to Tai for his first-ever FFA Smackdown placing. You go, girl! (You were a girl, right?)

Score:

Also, for those who do not have Circuit's sexy robit skin, I've added it to the Martian site. You may grab it here (http://martiancartel.com/files/circuit_ut200x_robit_skin.zip).

What this fails to show is how I absolutely mopped up the 2 "for fun" rounds after the SD. Of course, that was after Circuit left. There may be a link there. But then, it may be that I just do better on twisty little maps where the goop gun and flak rule.

Grats to Q for winning (again), Tai for placing, Circuit for beating me and Ned for hosting. Now, where was everyone else?

I have UT2k4 around somewhere, but I am just tired of the game. :(

I was working. I'd much rather be smacking down.

I do have UT2k4 installed and up to date, tho.

Sure was!! I saw all kinds of Tai kills herself, Tai rides her rocket prematurely, Tai falls to her death messages. Got thoughts on this coming Sunday's map?

I am mulling.

I would like to test out WeaponStuff with a few willing guinea pigs sometime this week, too (testing with weapons set to 75% and 50% damage).
Tai
02-20-2007, 01:22 PM
I am willing.

I wouldn't mind trying tonight, sometime after 8 p.m. EST. Check to see if the server is up or just bug me in IRC.
