Oh would someone who actually has the map set up a new link please? I don't have the map on this computer. If there is no link to it, this map is lost and i'll unsubmit this.

Important:

Obligatory download of maps before the tournament begins: http://oskar-lh.name/twhl/tournament-maps

The tournament begins in one hour and twenty minutes from now. Even if you only play a single map, you'll have a chance for the prize. The more frags you collect throughout the tournament, the higher are your chances of winning. In order to be able to win, your player name must contain your TWHL username.

I mean trying to download from the link provided I get that error. In-game download just said it would take 15 minutes so I left to use the pack here and found that it didn't work.

[m]We have a Winner![/m]
Congratulations to Joebama! - with 650 kills and 745 deaths (0.87 K:D)
He added this and this to his stocking.

Due to a blunder on our end, we've somehow managed to miss lost_technology, which in result was never played. To at least somehow make up for this, it has been made the default map on the HLDM server. Meaning that whenever the server restarts, lost_technology will be the first map it runs. Apart from that, it is also on the regular map rotation. Really sorry about that, Zeeba.

dm_shipment was also never played due to it causing a crash in the server. Sorry, 2much!

The final score table in all its notepad glory (note that all frags from the round with cheats on were not counted):

Note that the list order was randomized as well before counting the tickets.

Massive thanks to all of of you who've taken part (especially for your patience with our countless technical fuckups ;) ) & to all the authors who had the guts to submit their maps! Also huge props to potatis_invalid for hosting the server, and to Archie & Urby for their endurance in shoutcasting the whole thing!

Archie's working on the shoutcast video, which should be coming soon.

Happy Holidays, and Good Game! :crowbar:

enjoyed it... Mostly. 6 hours is a tad too long :P

Good game and congrats joebama - you deserved it!
Unlucky x-layer, all of us in the shoutcast took bets on who would win and I picked you. :P

Also can I just say that I have most deaths because half the time I was checking the scores or getting info about the maps to commentate!

Video with commentary from daubster, urby and myself coming soon. Possibly within the next few hours, but probably tomorrow. Done 2 maps so far and it's working out at about four minutes per map, so it'll be a pretty long video.

• Best KDR: 2.8 (Ruffee) Ballz of stainless steel
• Best Round: 115 frags (Ruffee) My nick is also spelled with 1 "f"
• Least times spent in fridge: 0 (Bruce)
And the fact that the guy with the most frags won isn't gonna make Bruce particularly happy
And i managed to swear on the end of the round in my map

Anyway was a fun tourney hope there will be more soon
And do something about the lag next time k ?

Hell of a game. Was actually physically exhausted afterwards. Mostly because I'd had 2 hours sleep but still. Couldn't keep my eyes open during the following GTA4 rampage with Archie and had to go to bed. :(

Congratulations Joebama. I do recall most of my arse kickings were delivered by yourself. :D

i believe it was RPG Deathmatch. He was complaining about lag making it impossible to shoot rockets straight.

(Not sure if he realised that rockets can be "stolen" by other players laser sights)

Worst Round: -84 frags (GoldSourceForever)
That was subtracted from your total kills by the stats plugin. Put a reasonable dent in your overall score. :lol:

Yeah the RPG map was unplayable for me. I protested the map by repeatedly blowing myself up. Worth it.
