The starting seems a bit sketchy. If they are so close to each other starting, it would easily turn into a sit and shoot match. However, if they are too far away, it would take too much time for the other person to catch the quarry. It may work as is, but both players need to be moving.

Yes, we agree with that point, but were unsure with how to correctly state it. Thanks for the help!

It sure does. Thank you.

I wish I could join all-out, but just put me down as a sub, would you App?

no sit and shoot? dang. this is harder than i though.  :P:P

 

and if i dont show up at anytime, you can instatly replace me.  dont worry bout it.   :D:D

For only using buggys, have one or two referees start the game and turn off all other vehicles before others join.  You should allow some beforegame referee time to perfect physics settings.  Also, maybe referees could be allowed to use other vehicles if it is their preference because they are not fighting.  You should ask Aubrey to make a new game mode like this.

I have a question about settings.

 

Instead of default, can it be default plus powered loops and maybe laser speed up?

Aww man!!!!  I missed the signups...  :(  Ah well, maybe next time...

 

daRN! I missed the signups!!* starts banging head on the wall * * says DANGIT over and over again while banging head on wall * 

two questions. when will it be and what time. and what if you lose connection?

 

 

Dvo vs. Rygel?

 

Man, I need to go practice.

YEA!!  I AM GOING TO WIN THAT ONE!!!

I dunno, it'll be close....

;)

Good luck!

I need to see that match. PM me, and I'll try to get to see y'all battle it out....

where is kruncher in all of this 

beats me, haven't really had a chance to have a good dogfight with him, i do see him in the game! but usually only for a short time

Kruncher cant compete due to bugs on his part.

But I'm sure he would if he could!

We'd be honored to have him!

is there any way I could still join?

 

PS. if you want, I could HTML up this post with pretty battle colors :)

Greetings aerial warriors! I would like to let you all know that I'm extremely excited about this ongoing event and honored that my name is mentioned on the same page as these many fine dogfighters. As much as I relish any opportunity to participate in aerial combat with skilled and cunning opponents, my ability to meet any sort of schedule requirements are severely limited at this time. My hope is that the games will be intense, fair and entertaining for those participating and for those spectating. Know this, if nothing else, the word "competition", if traced to it's root comes from "competent".

 

 In recent months, there has been much attention paid to world creation as the major, positive thrust for Mars Explorer and duly so. I am in awe of what has come from it and how people's imagination and determination has resulted in almost endless challenging and beautiful places to play our game. Let's face it though, Mars Explorer was designed with vehicular combat in mind and the game deserves to be played and played with all one can muster! Otherwise, all the wonderful maps and incredible vehicles are not used to their full potential but simply cruised casually to escape boredom or as a pleasant backdrop for chat.

 

  Here me when I say, aerial dogfighting deserves the attention that this contest brings as dogfighting builds so much more than the ability to "pwn" or to earn a reputation. Dogfighting builds skill, hand-eye coordination, determination and mental focus. Dogfighting can provide indescribable satisfaction from a battle, well fought, be it win or not! These attributes can be utilized in most all other aspects of life if one chooses to embrace them.

 

Behold! cheezburger bravely bloodying Seb's knee caps when one might assume a darker fate for the one named after such a common but delicious food product! In my recent server surfing, I have definitely noticed an increased sharpness of several players that are usually known for more casual laser fighting.

 

Go forth, ye and do your worst damage knowing that your opponent will surely do theirs!

Nice speech kruncher!!!  :D!!

 

Iz like the true meaning of Mars Explorer!!!

 

although i still  use mars as a chat, i shall use mah buggy to the fullest!!  :D

Nice post! I hope you can participate in the next dogfighting tournament!

Nice, Kruncher. Hopefully I, too, can participate in this glorious pastime of dogfighting tournament. ;)

I'm more of a world creator/chatter, but nice speech!  Maybe I should try the next tourney...  I'll probably fail though!  Lol.

With the newfound publicity of dogfighting, and so many people excited about this tourney, the next tourney (Which I plan on hosting in around 2 months) might very well have spots for 32 Martians.

so.. what happened to the other match's? 

 

and to this Tourney as well?

Suffering from my terrible management. I've been super busy lately, but I'm hoping my schedule has cleared for a while, and we'll get things moving along again. Sorry for the delay everyone!

hey guys im back i thought having dogfight tournaments would be great. can anyone PM me about the details. i would like to learn how to get in this game. sounds fun!

 

 

 

thanks, 

 

VIPER

This could use some resurfacing, Guys, please try to get to your matches.

I actually haven't been around enough at the right times to be able to schedule any matches...

Me too! Great speech, Kruncher!

Could you guys PM me when I can sign up for the next Dogfight Tourney?

 

 

Thanks.

Are spectators allowed in later matches, or will it just be the Ref and observers?

Bam!!!

The championship match will have spectators allowed, as we're hoping to get StormSurge and his awesome Internet connection to host the match.

Thanks again for recording, but is there a format available for the HD version that works for Mac without a flash player app? (I just have the plugin).

Thanks for a great game!

I can but it will be about.... 669 MB or so. Or I can get you a .mov copy of the download version which is 235 MB.
