Bah.. Can't make it. I'll try to make the next one for sure though.

Okay. Would anyone who is planning to be at the fightnight like to volunteer to be a team captain? The only requirements are that you can fly a spaceship in a straight line and aren't pure evil. Although, I'm willing to negotiate on the latter.

I would also like to restate an early concern that may have seemed less authoritative in it's original form....

Fix the chat server!!

...please

ARRRGGGGG! I'm so annoyed I can't make it too this fight night! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE organise another Fight night so I can attend. It sucks so bad that the one weekend that will be without access to a computer (in other words, "having a life" ) A fight night is set up!

Alright. I'll even let you help me plan the next one. Not that you couldn't set up your own...

I'll try to be there, the only problem i see is if somebody else is on my computer.

No honestly I couldn't set one one up I my own. However there is no need to be nasty about it. However thanks for offering to make the effort to set up another fight night & I would be pleased do do what I can to make it happen.

I think you misunderstood what I was saying, BlackHat. I wasn't trying to be nasty, I just meant there are no set requirements for settings up a fightnight. It only takes a bit of time and a few forums posts. If I don't have the time to set up another one, you probably could.

Update: I wanted to point out that I've put up another video on tuwr about the fightnight. The links for it and the first one on this topic's first post.

I've asked... and that's all I can do. We're reliant on Magicfinger being at home/having enough time to sort out the server. I don't control it so there's nothing I can do except ask.

I understand. Just make sure I have Sys guardian powers by the time of fightnite.

BTW, are you planning to stop in for a little fun and games on Saturday, Fooli?

Post by **Fooli** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 10:32 pm

No, I'm sure my significant other has plans. She normally does :]

One thing I'm not 100% sure of, is how long the system guardian stuff lasts... I've a feeling it only lasts as long as you're online (if someone can confirm or deny, that'd be helpful). It's probably not a problem unless you get d/c for some reason.

I'll be around a bit before the start of the event to set up the guardian stuff, but not for the duration, given the time difference.

what time is fightnight at tomorrow?

ElderGod · Post by **ElderGod** » Fri Oct 03, 2008 11:36 pm

8:00pm EST

fhko · Post by **fhko** » Sat Oct 04, 2008 1:39 am

I'd move it earlier, but dinner is served here at 6:20 and I wanted to be sure that I had at least an hour to prepare for stuff. Maybe Robocrow with the early arrivals and what not.

the convoy event was the most fun I've had in a while

fhko · Post by **fhko** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 4:39 am

Thanks to all who participated in tonight's fightnite. I'd like to post everyone's name and the winners of all the events, but it's passed midnight and I would really like some sleep.

I will; however, post this unfinished collection of the race footage for the time being.

race video (66MB)

Sorry it's so large...I'll make smaller versions of the final edition.

Oh...almost forgot the only screenshot I managed to grab of the space portion...was too busy most of the time to take them.

ElderGod · Post by **ElderGod** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 5:09 am

I got this screenshot of the first event,the race.

fhko · Post by **fhko** » Sun Oct 05, 2008 3:33 pm

Nice screenshot. I took a few of the race also, but Pixia had to go and crash before I could save them.

Now that it's morning and I feel a bit more lively I will go ahead and announce the winners of each event.

Race Results
1st Place: Jwnb (5,000cr)
2nd Place: Android (3,000cr)
3rd Place:FBI6 (2,000cr)

Convoy Results
Winning Team: JohnDoe, Cyborg, Fatboy01, FBI6
Prize: 30,000cr split evenly

Mining Results
This was actually a tie between both teams. We decided to split the prize amongst everyone still there: Fhko, Cyborg, FBI6 and Tirion.
Prize: 20,000cr

BattleRoyale
We diverted from the team-based system to a FFA since only four players remained in contention.

Winning Player: Fhko

only because I had a galcruiser vs. all alien freighters, I don't expect a prize.

Hopefully fooli can distribute the prize money shortly. Thanks again to all who showed up. It was fun.

pixia? save the pics manually? eww

there's a free program called AT Screen Thief that can be set up to use a single hot key to take a picture of your active window and automatically save it to your hard drive. its quite handy since you can go around constantly hitting the key and take dozens of pics to look threw for the best one. its site is http://www.screenthiefsoft.com/atscrth_article.html

if not that, then there's always the free fraps. it automatically saves pics to your hard drive too.
