We announce an event " Mean Guns " , that will be organized and uphold by soldiers of thunderstorm.
The concept behind it is quite simple , definitely entertaining , fun and based on a movie called " Mean Guns " http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119642/ , credit for the idea goes to Skycast also he was the one who moved our lazy asses to organize something at all , don't get me wrong he " motivated " us too :)
So now i will stop yapping and tell you as much as i can about what you can expect from this event and how it is going to look like. Well of course don't expect unicorns and rainbows , it will be a last man standing event in a controlled environment held in our recently constructed base specially for the most ultimate display of violence and destruction , hell if anyone is interested it's only an outpost.

Participants will fight to earn a prize , when there will be only one man standing he will receive 50 k in raw cash and the sole survivor will keep anything he has found during the skirmish. Generally any person can participate and all builds will be supported , HH unarmed builds and melee lovers , throwers , you name it. There is a twist to all this , weapons and ammunition are scattered so randomly , some even hidden , ammunition for some weapon type's will be very scarce , you might just have to rely on what you can find at all. Drugs , healing supplies , there will be everything , but i suggest you come already drugged up or your putting yourself at a disadvantage.
We will not rely on GM's , of course we will gladly accept any help but we don't count on it.
The gathering will be simple , you will just have to be in NCR respawn at a given time , tag one of our members and then go to world map , you will enter and stay put on a certain area easy to notice and on command the fight will start.

Today March 03, 2012 , 19:00 server time (GMT + 1) , be on bottom NCR respawn , where the base is located. Even if like only few players show up , the fight will still go on and the prize will be distributed. Teaming up is kinda not allowed so , if we see to many guys from one gang , we'll keep an eye out.
Questions ?
-
lol
-
pvp event. t-geyty but will you give us armors and weapons or we have to take our stuff?
-
Weaponry , armor and everything else is randomly placed all over the base , you will be naked at first then search and pick up equipment from containers , ground to fight and survive , the gathering is at lower ncr respawn( inside it ) so obviously when you will be transported there you'll be naked. Oh yeah , come drugged , there will be drugs on ground and everywhere but , better come drugged already. This happens approximately after 2 hours and 58 minutes.
If you die fighting your already out of the event , there will be only one player that will claim the prize. So i'm guessing this event will not be long.
-
If you would like some extra sceneries (some barrels, car wrecks etc) in the base for the event
or some other help of that kind, just let me know on IRC. I'll probably observe it too.
-
PM'ed :)
2 hours left till event takes place.
edit: We will have this all " on tape " :)
-
give me gauss and gatlings and i am in ;D
-
Gatlings will be there at least 2 to use and keep if you find them and survive , gauss not sorry :)
Server reboot is kinda long , hope it doesn't come back in the last minutes when event needs to take place otherwise will have to make it later or some other day.
-
i suggest 2morrow...i am going to dring cheap booze 2day...good luck with event...
-

Da fuk?
Can you upload a version without background music?
-
I missed this one, but it was fun to watch the video.
But I think, the one with most kills should get some prize, too.
And sorry to say that, but those sneakers were not a fair enemy in my opinion.
-
...
Thank you for the video.
Sneakers camping corners , that's something we expected but didn't realize that would go so far , expected more variation in builds for example more sniper builds that way those sneakers wouldn't be such a big problem , i actually made sure SG was more easily available then energy weapons , i somehow imagined that a guy with lazer rifle would be the last considering how easy is to obtain ammunition for it , but harder to find.
Motion sensors , slightly different placement of weapons , more armors available ( all tesla armors were hidden ) as in not so much hidden the same goes for helmets , basicly each corner had something. Is that a plasma rifle in a corner or fully loaded brand new m60 , metal masks up to 2 gatling guns etc. etc. less hidden objects needed , i believe next time there will be more participants since this was overall a huge success despite the 19 participants only. Actually we predicted up to 20 players like it was , but it seems this map is suitable up to 40. All those items were placed by hand , not a button :)
We have some interesting ideas how to make fights more interesting , for example put some dynamite and plastic explosives easily obtainable :)
So i guess till next saturday , if anyone has some suggestions about item placement , gathering , organization or anything at all do tell !
But I think, the one with most kills should get some prize, too.
And sorry to say that, but those sneakers were not a fair enemy in my opinion.
To determine from a video who has the most kills , i don't know doesn't sound right. The concept is last man standing your goal is to survive not kill enough , but yes your right those sneakers weren't fair enemies. With added motion sensors available and much more people , i'm sure next time it will not be that easy to just camp corner till the end.

+1, can't see it, at least in the US. Edit: Thanks for alt. link.
-
expected more variation in builds (...) i actually made sure SG was more easily available then energy weapons
And how would people coming to the event know this? :)
Decision about build used is made before event (before they could see what weapons are there)
or completely random chance ("I have this char near NCR").
-
Well i kinda mentioned that some ammo type for certain weapon types will be scarce , for example 5mm was not much like approx. 1100 rounds including the jhp a third of it all ( not much considering how fast miniguns consume it and how it was placed ) , so if there would be let's say twice the more people all those big gunners would run out of it FAST so some sniper build with a 223 pistol would like never run out at the same moment. I guess i had to provide more information about this , but oh well now they know. Event works around weapon amount , placement , everything is important , the slightest difference how items and where they are located can provide a different outcome of the fight. Next time different spawn , different everything , you just can't get more random than that.
Were still motivated to make the event again , so will improve. Need to replace a lot of items and replenish stuff.
-
Very cool.
;D
-
I would of given the reward to Black Label, those sneakers didn't earn it.
-
Agree with Simon. This 2 last sneakers were playing just for luck.
-

+1 to that
-
personally I would add new rule - no sneakers allowed :F
-
Also cool event and nice to see SoT are using their resources for something like this so early in the session.
-
Nice event, nice video, nice richard cheese.
I was out yesterday but would like to come to another event if i can fit it in.
Contemplating running an unarmed guy and punching someone in the groin before getting my head blown off, just for the lolz :D
-
sneakers ruined that event...2bad i wasnt there with my gatling tank ;D

Will be any event this weekend?
I think yes, we will post info at evening today.
If will be no troubles with server and we will gain assistance from Gm's event will be 10.03.2012 19:00 server time (GMT + 1).
We prepare interesting prize, and will be second reward for guy who will kill most people!
Also maybe gauss and motion sensors will be aviable ;D
-
Everything as planned , like Skycast said today March 10, 2012 , 19:00 GMT + 1 server time (forum time right corner of screen) , be in lower NCR respawn.
There will be 2 awards 50 k prize for the last man standing and a hummer for the one who killed the most we will decide on that later watching video , also everything you find during fighting except motion sensors , they were added as an improvement due to obvious reasons. Here is the video from last weeks event.

Thanks to jovanka and voland this will happen again , so start preparing characters.
oh right , advisable to come drugged and don't take only big gunners , you might regret that :)
another thing were thinking that we will not gather more than 40 people , so if you won't be in time you might be to late
-
That should be funny if there were no teamup.

That should be funny if there were no teamup.
2 melee were playing in team but lost near the end
-
Map is too small, totally no point in playing as a sniper/laserman. But generally, nice event.
-
everyone needs to spawn at once for this to work properly. i spawned and half of all things in spawn area where allready taken went to go get a weapon and died because everyone else allready had a weapon.
-
Event ended , winner is " Five points " aka Oliver with gatling gun this time , congratulations.

Those who didn't participate your fault , this was known to happen a week ago i said countless times when it will happen in mirc for example :)
Thanks again jovanka , voland.

So you should run away farther , all items were evenly spread out.

Give it couple of minutes to process.
-
so close to victory, bursters got me and david too :V
-
I love how that noob "Hi Oliver" stood under the eastern wall through the entire battle having no impact on it at all, then came in in the last moment to finish off the last guy who had 10 hp.
Pure skill! He indeed deserves whatever the prize was!
The outcome was NOT good and NOT funny.
-
The event isnt King of the Hill.
The event isnt most kills is the winner.
The event is survival.
Last man standing means last man standing.
If he was smart and fast enough to evade everyone till the end... well thats VERY skillful of him...
-
This time Altos bursted me for 500+, he was damn luckly.
-

He wasn't smart and fast, he just had high perception and high sneak :) Watch carefully what he's been doing through the entire battle... Standing near the eastern wall. Very skillful.
