'Tis truly a shame to have you go. Thank you for all the work you've done over all these years and for sticking by the server for so long, be it through the memes and everything else. Stay safe brother.

If anything we're consistent at being inconsistent.

If there are no mushrooms on that fucking pizza I swear to god inb4 free pizza means we're testing ze_pizzatime_v10

First server to beat Extreme Truth bois les' go.

What the actual fuck am I looking at right now.

Once a ZE nerd, forever a ZE nerd. You cannot escape what is part of you, for it will always catch up. You are long past the event horizon, the point of no return. also ttt is hot garbo and you should be ashamed of yourself

Exactly. It's not april fools when there's no foolery and shenanigans afoot. And what better foolery than having people not know who to shoot at every round start?

I take your idea and raise you this: All the skins are normal, but become reverse once zombies spawn and mother zombie count is increased otherwise it's too obvious. This also only has a 50% chance of actually happening. Maximum April Fools. also icecap spawns, duh.

While I originally named my event "Oldest School", the fact you named it after how I described it would basically be gave me a good chuckle. And you forgot the "No rebuy" part.

You damn well better believe we're going to clutch this, son.

And for MAXIMUM nostalgia disable Bizon, Negev, and force icecap zombie spawns. P90s/M249s and total chaos, just like the old times.

I don't see a rule anywhere that says "noobs" are not allowed to join. For Bioshock, honestly the only thing I can see that will be challenging is the "1999" stage, which is basically all 4 stages in one go minus the bossfights with an extra "5th" stage and a (Stupidly easy) bossfight in it. Other than that all 4 stages are mostly the same process of "run, defend, repeat, boss, final hold" except for the 3rd stage which has no boss. As for the bosses: Stage 1 - Strafe boss and is instakill on contact. Has 3 attacks which are a lunge attack where he lunges towards someone twice (duh), an attack where he drops a green grenade or something which sets you on fire if you get close to it and an attack where he stomps the ground which stops and slows everyone in their tracks for a very short time. Stage 2 - Instakill on contact if you don't have kevlar, make sure you keep it topped off. He teleports on a random player (undodgeable as far as I know) and will do one of 2 things: Will have a big red circle around around him, if you don't get out of it in time curtains will drop on the edges of the circle, preventing you from escaping and you will die instantly. Will do an earth attack thing that goes in a short straight line in the direction he's facing, not instant kill but will kill you VERY quickly if you don't get out of the way or don't have kevlar. What's interesting is that this boss is (In my opinion) much harder than all the other bosses because he is really trim happy. Stage 4 - Doesn't move and has 3 attacks. When the arena is normal he will use his 2 attacks randomly a few times: A laser that comes from the front, simply jump to dodge it. It's not instakill but it will set you on fire and push you out of the arena into the zombies, if it doesn't kill you along the way. A small red circle appears under a random player, avoid it otherwise you'll be set on fire. Then, the arena turns into ice he will use his 3rd attack: A big blue circle will appear under a random player, the boss will then pop up with ice spikes. This is an opportunity to shoot him. Being in the circle when he pops up is instakill. The arena will then go back to normal and the cycle will repeat. "1999" Stage - Hilariously enough, for a stage that is supposed to be the most difficult of all this is the easiest boss of all. All he does is pick either the far right or far left and goes from one to the other randomly. Simply stay in the middle and go opposite from where he is while shooting him in the face.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]17007[/ATTACH] T'was a sad time.

It would be pretty neat if zombies also got a model or 2 that they can use through skillbot. The models you suggested though, The Scrake seems okay, if a bit tall and wide (Might be unpopular because easier target to shoot) The Eliminator is a bit "eeh" because of the smaller height, the opposite of the Scrake will likely apply. Facehugger is just No. And the Wraith might be okay.

I'll be there in spirit. Give em' hell lads, don't let me down.

Well, I've done what I can and it's time for me to leave. Hopefully you guys will stand up to the task and finish the job before the event. Big thanks to everyone who participated and contributed to the wins and attempts! (even if you died in the process and immidiately did a face-heel turn and tried to shank us)

Going to post right now since I'm on a time constraint, I'll edit this post and put the links as they're done uploading. ze_tkara_v4_3 - | | As of this moment I have roughly 4 and a half hours before I depart to the military for the next week and a half, we're making the final push and going through as much as we can.

With high spirits and motivation after such a tight win we tried going for the bunker win next but ended up rtving because the map broke and everyone kept falling through the first elevator and dying. Edit: has been cleared aswell.

(Big props to the humans who managed to survive the boss fight and pull through) I have also recorded a win of the boat ending in ze_artika_base, but youtube is currently being aids and taking forever to upload it so I'll shove it in a later post. (I should also look into better recording software and editing, right now I'm improvising with shadowplay and the 11 minute limit on recordings makes uploading and editing together long maps a complete shitshow.)

I have decided to take up the task of trying to round up the randoms and lead them through these maps before the event. I only have untill Sunday to do this before I'm back in the military, but I will not falter. Would have actually gotten more done but sadly most of the night was spent on randoms being randoms and not cooperating/trolling, and Frostdrake also happened. (And I realized we needed to beat nostromo, not notredame :V) I wish I also recorded that one ze_artika_escape attempt where we nearly made it to the boat but couldn't hold hard enoguh due to doorhuggers
