Mystery Prizes2013-10-03 15:39 | claire
Our good friend flagTei0ch has offered to support the scene and EDL in a rather unique way, with mystery prizes:

Quote:
To help things run more smoothly (hopefully) in EDL, I could provide cash prizes for various achievements. Yes, this is no ordinary money collection which would only go to the winners with pre-known amounts. My way deals with 'unknown' amounts (not even the Admins know) and it is also unknown where and how the prizes are given out. They are hidden to everyone but me and can only be 'revealed' (thusly rewarded) if they're triggered with right conditions pre-determined by me.

If a player would happen to 'activate' one of those triggers - a few are rock sturdy while others are more resilient - he/she would be asked to accept the Reward Prize for activating it (using Paypal only) and if the person cannot or will not accept the cash, prize is then going back to the funds and will be merged with the rest (this may vary 'how' exactly). If the last remaining prize ends up like that, it is going back to myself. If un-triggered prizes are left behind, they too are going back to me.

Same prizes cannot be won twice (not the same as amounts), and also same trigger points cannot exist more than one time.
The total number of triggers is unknown as well.

This is in other words NOT compensation for a potential EDL Prize pot, but simply a separate independent system meant to experimentally have some fun yet reward those who deserve it; either logically (like skill-wise) or bit more random.

/Quote

So throughout the whole season Tei0ch will be watching and rewarding players for random bits of awesome Quake 2 playing. I would assume there are triggers like hitting more than 1 air rocket in a match, or perhaps making the jump from GL to the mega-room door on DM1 during a game, or not – he’s not telling us what they are.

I think this is a great idea and would like to thank Tei0ch for supporting us like this. I hope this will help reduce the number or W/O games this season.
Thanks!

i understand the effort and initiative, but Tei what are we? puppets? emo My point is, if u wanna sponsor EDL, pls do it in a well mannered way. As in prizes for winners of every division or top etc.
I ve read that news post twice, i dont like how it sounds. The only think that motivates my play this game is pure love for q2 and q2friends.
