PC-Max.de starts Nexuiz Gaming-Contest

[SavageX]

Hello,

over at PC-Max.de there's a Nexuiz gaming contest. Participants can win a graphics card, a DVB-T stick and can purchase stuff for free (limited, of course)!

Have a look here:

If you want to participate you'll have to register before the end of september 30th!

yeah, that sounds cool, however there are a lot of information that I would like to know:

- accurate dates (when will it start ? how long do two people have time to play a match in the final rounds ? Preround is supposed to be only one weekend iirc)
- what are these "fixed" server settings ? Please don't tell me something like " completely standard" settings (which means: no antilag), otherwise I don't need any further Information anyway (since I wouldn't play w/o antilag )
- is there a least a list of the mappool of which PC-Max will randomly chose maps ? I fear the worst, that PC-MAX will chose "stupid" maps ... maybe they should stick to the current 1on1 ladder mappool
- what is the winning condition of a match ? There is a rule that states "The participant having the most kills, wins, and proceeds to the next round". This is known to be an unfair System actually, since a player might win map "a" with 8:4 and lose map "b" with 10:18 => the player would have lost by total points (18:24) but would actually have won because he won map 1 with a 2:1 ratio, but was beaten on map 2 only by ratio 1,8/1. The Problem is that different maps offer more or less frags (e.g. comparing "Basement" with "Aneurysm"). And what happens if there's a draw of the total points ?
- is the participation of this tournament restricted to people living in germany ? or may Kojak also win something ?

I'd say those are good questions to ask.

There's a discussion thread over at pc-max.de (linked on the contest page) and I guess it'd make sense to bring those things to attention there.

[GreEn`mArine]

okay, since I'm at "work" here I'll try to take care of that

EDIT: I just asked all the questions in the german forums

Good news for all of you: I won't be participating

Very very cool! I guess we have to bow to SavageX for getting those guys to support Nexuiz and start this contest. Should we try to advertice this thing any further? The golem.de guys have been very helpful with posting Nexuiz-release-news on their page. Maybe they are interested in this this too.

I also posted a nice litte response into their forum. Oh we should also advertise it on the pn.de page and forum I Hope Green was faster then me Nope.. so i took the liberty.

Oh Urmel.. why that? Owning us is no thing to be ashamed of..

Good questions GreEn`mArine! I am curious what they will respond...

I will participate if the dates (that will hopefully be revealed in the response to green´s questions) allow me to, although i can imagine already which players will occupy the top places ,just to show that there is a living community belonging to Nexuiz.

Good news for all of you: I won't be participating

...phew
seriously: Why not? I think everybody whos time allows it should sign up, as it is a good oppurtunity to advertise Nexuiz some more, and have some fun!
There can only be one winner and only a few players can serioulsy hope to be it, but that wont stop me and shouldnt stop anybody to sign up there, show some new players that just try Nexuiz because of the tournament what great game it is and what nice people we are and most important have a good time playing Nexuiz

[SavageX]

Err, I was not involved with getting this contest started.

AFAIK this is mostly Strahlemann's effort


edit: Actually this is not Strahlemann's effort, so don't pester him on this

Oh, and spread the word in the german gaming world.

[esteel]

/me pushes Savage out of the way and starts a furrious search for Strahlemann to pay him tribute

If we make it too popular we'll get more then 64 players and all the really good players will have bad luck when it comes to the lot

[GreEn`mArine]

well, maybe we could ask the admins to preffer good and/or well known players (with the 1on1 rankings as reference)
