megam8s win plow racing

[GrapefruitV]

Borka, I hope you were able to watch. I remember you being around at the start, but I could miss something, since I had 10000 pms.
Few words about winners, organization, etc.
Don was really impressive during the marathon. At first I even thought our arena was unbalanced and he was lucky with lack of obstacles, but I checked out screenshots and video and no. It was a pure victory. Here he is on the north side, here on the south, then he's in the center. Others just had no chance, he was too awesome.
It appears, that Dert might have been cheating with musical chairs. It is not confirmed yet, we'll check more videos.
Death match was the most boring to watch (for me). We got some complaints about megam8s being ganked by united forces of everyone else. It looked like that from my side too. But stream made it clear: it was mostly 3vs4 and Apx and Usernm were actually trying to help megam8s by blocking others. So everything is fair.
Also we have doubts about plow race winners. Judging by screenshots we thought it is 1. Don 2. Troll 3. Usernm. But 3d place is not that obvious, more videos need to be checked.

Speaking of the whole event, I make one same mistake time after time. I assume people can into reading and are more responsible, than they really are. I'll try to fix my attitude before the next stage, so we won't have starving problem, broken clogs every 5 minutes, people without required skills by the time and other little things which led to some delays. So it will be either strict rules like "Your thorns is your problem. Lost your shoes? Fuck off." or 3 cbs of prepared in advance extra clogs and 20 chests of bread.

What do we do next?
Discuss the best time for the next stage, like we did before, searching for yesterdays flaws, suggest new competitions if you want to make it 3 days, not 2.
I would like to hear your opinion on duration of one stage. Was it allright? Does it need to be shorter or longer?

Participants, you're free to use the arena for spars, but we won't heal or feed you, if you want to fight between competitions. You can bring there your own food (only feps allowed are psy, int and dex) and gauzes, if you want to run around not during the Games.

That was great. If anyone has feed on the boat race it'd be even better. When will the next stage be and how do I become a spectator?

Probably next weekend, we will discuss exact time soon. You can join the competition, but I'm afraid your chances to win the main prize will be close to 0 (unless one of existing winning teams will take you in), all fun you can get is yours though. To enter Olympics pm me with your skype info. If you don't have/use skype/don't wanna be in our chat, still pm me and I'll tell you what to do.

i do understand the complaints, however, isnt that what a "death-match" is about, no matter how it actually turned out?
in order to survive, the weak tend to gank up on the (seemingly) strongest together so they may have the chance themselves and leave the weaker for later. at least, thats how it works in death-matches ive seen in fictions

the event seems to be going very nicely and looked so much fun, you all should be very proud! gratz on the success of the first stage!

About clogs - put chest with leeches. And say to everybody: change clogs to leech. It works perfect, and never broke.

That looked like so much fun, well organized and duration of event seemed about right imo. The death-match dragged on a bit, but that is the nature of the event and as people fell it became more interesting.

If people can't read the rules and know what is required in terms of gear or skills then that should be their own problem, with all the work gone into building, planning and organizing, at least the responsibility to be prepared should be taken by the competitors.

Looking forward to the next stage and good luck to all!

I only managed to get on once everything was over, but the pictures look great and the chat is alive and buzzing:) all great signs of success! well done grape and co

It was fun and nobody showed up to ruin it. I think the first games went pretty well. Certainly with some modifications I would like to see this become a regular thing. Overall it was pretty great. Would certainly recommend it.

I'm sorry you were cut out from the plow race. Hope that will never happen to anyone again. And thank you for not making a big deal out of it.
