Collaborative Speedrun Event Suggestion

[willy wilson 139]

Hi Nide, hope all is well.

I am writing this post today to suggest a friendly competition amongst any of the currently existing ZE servings, primarily, Nide, GFL and Unloze.

I'm suggesting each server host an event where we all compete to see who can speedrun a set of maps the fastest with the same settings being used for all servers, would this be something you guys are interested in? It would serve as a friendly competition, foster a collaborative spirit and hopefully introduce your community to players who haven't been there before.

I'm suggesting we speedrun the following maps:

• ze_potc_v3_4fix
• ze_FFVII_Mako_Reactor_v5_3
• ze_frostdrake_tower_v1s

Additionally, I think some maps, i.e. ze_icecap_escape_v3 or ze_predator_ultimate_v3 or ze_boatescape6_remix_fix2 could replace the maps but wanted to ask everyone what they thought.

Suggested Rules:

• 2000 Ammo for all guns & no Rebuys
• Bhop Enabled
• Sv_air_accelerate 10
• PF settings for the rest

I'm open to discussing the rules, however they need to be universal settings so everyone can have a fair and equal chance, additionally, as it's a speedrun, it would be your time on each map from spawn in until the end of map screen, we can use demos to time additionally. What do you think? 

Recently I suggested an idea privately to a few people and wanted to reach out to everyone and see if it vibed with them. Please do let me know what maps you think would be fun to speedrun / you wouldn't mind resetting. Also let me know any setting preferences you would have. Thanks.

Update: Based on Keen (unloze admin)'s suggestion, I'm now offering to give the winning server 25 USD, and host a poll following the event to provide the winning server's MVP (whoever members of the winning server vote) 25 USD prize as well.

I like this idea, however slight modification to the rules 

 

Suggested Rules:

• 2000 Ammo for all guns & no Rebuys
• Bhop disabled (similar to the people who use it)
• Sv_air_accelerate 10
• PF settings for the rest
• No non English speakers 
• ZE_assault to map pool

Love the rules, unfortunately I feel like bhop should be enabled solely due to the fact that I know 1/2 the pro players will complain if it's not enabled as it will allow for slightly less skill expression but I'm open to changing it, my suggested maps included maps where I felt movement would play a factor, but wouldn't hurt the team, i.e. no one's early triggering so fast that it kills people. Also, I'd love to add ze_assault but unfortunately extreme makes my dick too hard to focus on anything other than cumming and the lasers?! my god..... I shoot up like a diamond. Seriously though isn't assault a nide exclusive? if not I can add it as a suggestion

But seriously, the idea of limited ammo is very interesting to me. I like this. It makes you conscious of every shot mattering. Rebuys are for those who miss half their shots. 

 

Make this a game mode regardless. Does it add realism? Maybe, its hard to believe this game can be real when I'm screaming at you.

It was a setting from an old server, plaguefest, but honestly I figured it would be a good idea for a speedrun to force triggers asap and encourage new strats to really push faster to stop players from running out of ammo. To be fair it's easy not to run out of ammo, just use your pistols and then swap to your main gun / save your main gun for the big boss

I've thought long and hard and will be requiring apps from a few players, specifically Luigi, Djinnz and Hobgoblin, I'll be flying out Tony Montana, Yoshmi and Feach to conduct some rigorous interviews, and will be expecting 10,000 word thesis statements on ze experience, with peer reviews ofc.
