  • Show us your frag !

    Post here a video of the best frag you made this month [April] or at least one you really like yourself. The competition is open until one week after the month has ended so the deadline for April is: May 7th 2008 [local time]. Then a poll will be made by yours truly so that we can all vote for Frag Of The Month. The winner will get : nothing ! Except the honour of course and an automatic entry in the Frag Of The Year competition that will determine the best Nexuiz frag of 2008 :]

    Rules:
      -one entry per player
      -the frag has to be made by you personally;
      -the frag has to have been made in the month that you are entering it in the competition


    What I would like is every person entering in the competition makes a post that states the map the frag was made on and if you can a small description of the frag itself. This will help people when we start voting. And of course a video of the frag. Because it is only about one frag it can be very short with high quality, it really has to be about the frag ! It doesn't matter if there is a little runup to it, just make sure people will know what the frag is that you are entering :)

  • My own entry for April:

    Map: Reslimed

    Description: This frag was made playing a TDM game with Captain Awesome and myself on blue and FruitieX and Alien_|_ on red on an exciting game at Reslimed. The video starts when i spawn near the nex and hurry back to my teammate, I grab the MH when i hear someone taking the mortar above, I laser up and over the little plateau fragging FruitieX as I go by.

    Video details: Xvid, mp3, 31 Mb, 17 seconds.
    HQ Download: http://www.sendspace.com/file/37se8i
    YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PI1Q98TTqOw

    edit: I guess torus is probably going to complain about links but other then that I think we're fine 8-]

  • Pink, 30 megabytes is WAY too much...

    Please, think about those who have to save bandwidth... I can't download your stuff.

    Please at least send a demo, if you can't make the video smaller

    That one guy takes the famous jumppad, hooks the platform. I nex him once. He gains velocity, and takes a smooth curvey path around the platform. Nice loop, mate!
    Then I stop focusing on him, I calm down even though he's trying to hagar me. His weapon is too inaccurate. He wobbles around, still hooked, not noticing that he's not my target. Actually, I'm aiming at his hook. Triple checking, I can't fail that one. I shoot. I hit. His hook is dead, he's now falling, trying to come back up with a new hook shot. Too late, the ground is too close. Splat. Frag.

    He did 3 mistakes at least. First, the hagar. Electro or laser could've disturbed me while I was aiming. Second, the static position, easy to hit. Third, he should've hooked the ground, to prevent fall damage.

  • Ah then the same goes for you Mirio, I'd like you to know as well that a poll will decide the outcome. If there are others who are still in doubt as to what will decide the outcome of the Frag Of The Month Competition, PM me.

    I don't think people here are so childish that they would... erm... ok, 2 votes it is :P I didn't even know that was possible. Can I give everybody 30 votes ? That will make this competition seem all hot and popular!

    Yeah that line was my phailed attempt at thanking whoever did that ;)

    Nah

    Public vote, or vote through a topic poll. No other option to make sure that there's no cheating.
