Ok, we are allowed to use caltrops and grenades to screw up the other players, but aren't we all going to be on one team? Last I checked every player on that map is blue. If this is the case than any damage you do to your teamates will just hurt you and you may end up killing yourself. If this happened you would have to start back at the beginning right?

Well I have been practicing on LAN and have had some sort of success so far, but I am worried about playing on the server. I usually ping between 50 and 75 on TV1. Last time I tried double concing with this kind of connection I just made a fool of myself. When all you guys are bragging about finishing in 5 minutes, is this on your own LAN game, or on an actual server with lag time? Even such a small amount of lag time can mess up a perfect jump, and for many of these jumps you need to be perfect.

Anyway, it will be interesting to watch everyone flying around dizzy from each other's concs.

I did 2:30 on lan, but sometimes it's easier with a ping. You can get much greater distances with hh's without such perfect timing. I've done just as well on TVIV. I'm going to choke though and miss all my hh's and come in last place so don't worry.

I did it in 8 minutes last night on TV1, but it's true that it takes longer when several ppl are concing at the same time, especially at the pit where the balls are, and also at the stairs-like point (4 I think).

I do not expect to win this thing anyway, I screw up too often some of the jumps

OK a few notes:

1> I am going to talk to Danno about FF.
2> I know we have some l337 concers. Its your duty to completely mess with them. Slow them to your speed by keeping the dizzy and lay spikes like mad.
3> The important thing is not winning. Its having fun.

I would also like to say that several people who had no idea how to conc have messaged me to say thanks for hosting this because it has given them a chance to practice conc jumping and they have learned lots and will be able to yous there new skills in game. Thus bringing the entire skill lever at theville up a notch.

I thought 'messing' with the other concers meant just hurling concs at them so they couldnt jump

PS-(50-75 ping? That's pretty good ping!)

That will be really funny, but we have to think about one thing. It will take a long time for someone to finish the map just with other people concing at the same time. If people keep dying and going back to the start it could take hours to finish the match.
