Well, today on Werner we had our first evar Gumball Rally. Went very well, apart from when we crashed the server because too many people went thru a WarpGate at the same time...
I took a few shots, and made a few short film clips, which I put together and will be putting on PSMovies asap. expect that here soon.

I got loads of kills with mines (I was one of the few raiders - I believe I was the most successfull too) and got lots of tells from people impressed by my ability to predict where people were going. Threshers & Basilisks were my prime targets, and I mustve got at least 8 of each.

Oh, and the movie is VERY lo-fi :( And the editing is supercheap, as I did it all in Windows Movie Maker ( :doh: ) So if anyone wants to tell me how to do it a million times better, Im willing to hear all about it.

EDIT: http://img67.exs.cx/img67/7089/assembly.jpg A taster of what's to come.

Well, I know that the marauder & Thresher were most used, and not that many Enforcers. 3 or 4 Sunderers (you got points for how many people were in your vehicles, as well as how fast it was). I saw at least 2 Switchblades (oddly enough, not the fastest), and many other ATVs. The support crews were amazing though, so many Lodes & Galsflying around behind everyone. Least used though? Prowler maybe. There were two ambushing the others with myself, but apart from that there was only one I think. There were also a fair number of lightnings, but not as many as the Threshers etc.

The threshers & ATVs wouldve won it easily if it wasn't for the hundreds of mines over the 4/5 conts!

My activation key for PSMovies never came through.. :( I'll try again, unless anyone else knows anywhere that does movie uploads? (its only 886kb n all! Yes, it really is super shitty quality.)

Some TR official reminded everyone of the rules, and managed to say "You can't shoot anyone, unless you're a Raider..." so all the raiders thought they were free to shoot (the vehicles that is, saboteurs were welcome) the others. Whoopsie!
