1st Annual TRoN 2.0 Lightcycle Rally

on Wednesday, January, 11, 2006 3:36 PM
It's a good thing I kept coming back to this site, I've had so many problems setting up an account on this forum that I was about to give up when today I discover that it allowed me to set up an account, now that's cool! I've already found some interesting things here. Now I can spread my wings a little bit more. I want everyone to know that we at the GameGRiD.org are having a lightcycle rally closer to the end of the month of January. The specific date is not known yet as my work will determine this only 10 days before I can take the time off. I've posted messages on other forums, with the majority of the details going to my open chat forum on my website. Right now I would like to get a good feel for the interest in having this rally? There are some cool things to be won, which you can see on my website. Have a look at some of the details and then let me know here, there or any other forum you know I visit. Because of the nature of my job it may take me a few days to check in. We've been running a dedicated server almost since the first days of TRoN 2.0 and I felt that it was time to see how the community would respond to having some fun, LoL Interested? Then let me know along with any suggestions you may have, Thanks and Happy New Year to all!

I'd be interested in participating, but I have no idea if my schedule will allow me to.

I'll check out your site for the details.

Sounds cool.

As for me - I really don't need to win anything - the experience on the game grid will be quite fun enough! Of course, if I won something, I certainly wouldn't turn it down.

I'll have to check out what you've got going on at GameGRID.org.

Wait a minute... I've seen that sever in the listing. I get an awful ping on that server - over 200! If the competition is to be on that server, I wouldn't have much of a chance with such a sluggish ping. Hmmm - I'll have to hit that server next time I see people on there and see how it plays (more accurately, see how my ping affects game play). Anyway, still sounds cool.

It looks like the rally is going to be in February, my next days off will be the 27-29 of January, I'll be on the computer lots then but not quite ready for it and then I've narrowed it down to the 11-13 February since this is also my anniversary with the WolF Princess I must take this time off and should be ready to run the rally then. I hope you got a chance to test your ping, I know some people have it rough, let me know what results you get and I'll see if setting it higher for the rally is workable.

There should be two servers running now for the GameGRiD.org but I'm not sure if my firewall is letting them both through, if anyone gets a moment could you please verify that both servers are online and working, thanks much!abortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

I wasn't able to get on to the GameGRiD.org Extreme server because I didn't have the custom map it was running.

I got on to the other one just fine... although I found myself stuck in a Super Light Cycle. Ewwwww! I'm not a fan of the SLC. I'm old school - give me a beautiful original light cycle any day, and I'll mow down any SLC I find out there!

I had an awful ping though - over 200. I don't imagine I'd be very competitive with that high of a ping. Anything over 150 is far too laggy to really do well against other players. IMO anyway. I'd give it a try anyway though - if I ever found some players on it. I MUCH prefer the LC over the SLC though, and I enjoy the Extreme speed far more than the slow feeling non-extreme speed.

Great thanks for testing it for me, as for the SLC that was only a temporary setting and probably won't be a major issue during the rally, I prefer the LC myself. In the rally you'll mostly get to pick your cycle tho I would'nt be surprised if one of the challenges is to run other users into your jet-walls with a SLC for a round or two. -L-order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillabortion pills online http://www.kvicksundscupen.se/template/default.aspx?abortion-questions cytotec abortion

About a week ago I was having trouble getting into the sector, so in case anyone didn't notice the posting on my user forum at www.gamegrid.org, it was declared that the rally will be held on the 26th of February with the finals maybe spilling over onto the 27th. The Princess made me change this because she didn't want me on the computer during our anniversary, in the battle between hormones and electrons, hormones always win.

I try to sneak on the light cycle game grid when I can on the weekends. But its hard to know ahead of time how the weekend will play out. You know - things come up, and chores need to be attended to.

I may try and see if I can get some action in though.

A couple of questions:

Does one need to register or make known their intent to play in the rally ahead of time?

Will the activities be held on a server with the regular grids (not custom ones)? I don't have many custom grids - at least not the ones that GameGrid.org seems to always be running.

Sorry - I could probably find out the skinny by checking out GameGrid.org... but I'm in a really lazy mood right now.

The Rally begins on Sunday at 8pm PST, mark the calendar, alarm the PDA, tell the spouse to remind you, whatever it takes. Prepare for LAG!!! It's all part of the game, ah ha ha ha *evil mechanical laugh*

All very good questions. There is no registration required, basically I'll be lighting up the servers after a brief prep and config then if you want to play join one of the two servers and follow the directions of myself, I will be a spectator and host on both servers. If you manage to carry through and win one of the prizes then and only then will I need shipping info.

There is going to be games with standard grids, a game or two with custom grids and the final rally with a new grid I am making now. A rally pack will be available before the Rally starts which is easily installed and removed after if you want. But it will be required to have since it will contain the new grid.

Cheers!

Bummer. I didn't realize it would be that late and on a Sunday. For some reason, it was in my head as Saturday when it was first posted here.

I won't be able to make the rally, but I hope it is a great success!

Since you'll be spectating during the game, remember to grab plenty of screen caps during the rally. Just keep F8ing during those good duels and pick the best images later on. It would be cool to share some of the highlights.

Better yet, if you could capture video of the event and put together a highlight reel that would be sweet!

Of course, I know that requires a little more labor.

Well, good luck with everything and perhaps you can hold more of these events in the future - early afternoon would be best for me.

Let the Games Begin!!

on Sunday, February, 26, 2006 10:45 PM
The Rally is ready to start and the files are ready to download. The rally pack I have put together includes two newer versions of RaceTrack and RedPlanet with an additional bonus grid called Mazer. You are required to have the latest version of TRoN 2.0 installed and you must download and install the rally pack. Unzip it into the custom/resources folder in your TRoN game home folder. One of the points of the rally is to see how well you can follow instructions.

Once you have the pack installed please join the Rally -1- server. If it is full then you must wait until a spot clears, then join the server and remain as a spectator until I (KLuWolF) instruct you otherwise. If you try to join a game in progress then you will be booted from the server. You can rejoin again and will be allowed to stay only if you follow these instructions.

DO NOT ATTEMPT to join the Rally -2- server unless you are instructed to do so by me. The exception to this is that you may join to chat with me temporarily as long as you remain a spectator.

If you are told that you are out, then you can replay under a different guise as long as the first round is still being played. Extreme Foul Language and spam chat will not be tolerated and you will be booted from the rally.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask once you get on a server. Thank You for playing and I hope you have a great time!!

Here are the links to the files you'll need and they are also linked on our entry page to http://www.gamegrid.org, I'm sorry you if can't be there but those are some great ideas, I will definately get some screen shots but the video will have to be set up for next year, thanks.

Hey thanks for running the Light Cycle Rally KLuWolF! It was lots of fun competing against the likes of Mr. Anderson, Powder, and the others.

Man, those custom levels were pretty nifty.

Hope your wife is doing well.

Thanks again! It was lots of fun!

No screen caps, I was too busy fighting to stay in the game. But I think KLuWolF has some that he'll be posting.

As for stories, well, I did what I could to stay in the game. I managed to earn enough points in the first round to qualify for the second round. Then I earned enough points in the second round to qualify for the third round. Finally, in the third round I was the first to navigate through a maze and find the Force Use powerup, thereby winning first prize! Mr. Anderson won second prize and Powder got third.

It was a lot of fun, I must say. Too bad you couldn't participate Todd, you would've had a blast, I'm sure.abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion
