Infection - Brain Feast - Sunday 21st

nitrotomato · 09-15-2008

Brain Feast
Hosted by Zombies, Inc.

This thread is for organising our third and fourth brain feasts. For those of you who don't know, our "Brain Feasts" are for those of you who simply can't get enough infection. The infection we play is intelligent; for those of you who like games like Traxus, co. or Convoy Ambush and the likes.

We have had a few games before, but this time we hope for a game of epic proportions. There will be two seperate games; one on Friday at around 13:00PM GMT (unlikely to have many players), and one on Sunday 21st at 16:00PM GMT (that's 11:00EST for those of you in the states).

How do you sign up? Simple. All you have to do is post the day you wish to play on, and perhaps suggest a map or two, along with your gamertag, and I'll add you on my gamertag chonkemp, and I'll add you to that day's roster (listed below). On the day I'll be online with an open party, simply join and when we have enough players we'll be off.

Below is a list of the maps we are likely to play, but this list is likely to expand and grow with suggestions, and if more players sign up:

Traxus, Co. by FBU

Convoy Tunnel by TrueDarkFusion, TheYavimayan, and rusty eagle

Tree Rot by Bungie

Club Dead by Bungie
Township V3 by Something.

Dig In Alpha by The Storm 59

Red Reign V4 by Nitrotomato (Maybe...a man can dream, can't he?)

Note: You ought to like at least some of the games listed above, otherwise you might not enjoy the games that we play on the days.

The roster is below. You can stop reading from here-on-in if you're not interested. For those of you who are, after that there is a quick recount of our previous Brain Feast so you can get a small taste of what's to come.

Recount of 13th September Brain Feast
This brain feast only had a total of 8 brain-hungry people, but it was amazing fun nonetheless. We only played a few games due to a large number of connection issues and time-restraints, but those games were fun and thoroughly enjoyed. The maps played were, in this order:

Red Reign by Nitrotomato
Traxus, Co. by Fbu
Tree Rot by Bungie
Epitaph (for jokes) by Bungie

The games were great, and here is a small recount, map by map.

Red Reign
Named after the Peter Gabriel song, and a slight parody of Assembly's beta name, this map only saw a few rounds, which were fun and highly tense. Star Zombie Torchelo was a runaway winner, with his most notable achievement being infecting 3 humans through a wall.

chonkemp teaches InsaneSpinach not to mess with a shotgun. Torchelo camps in a corner like a little girl ;).

InsaneSpinach returns, hungry for brains, only to spontaneously combust next to her own bleeding corpse. Torchelo can once again be seen haunting a corner.

InsaneSpinach tortures Fred4for0 with a turret.

THATS GOT TO HURT!!!!!!!11!!1111oneoneeleven!!1

Traxus, Co.
This game was great also. The humans played very cohesively as a team, while the Zombies played like a pack; at one point 3 humans were completely surrounded by 3 Zombies; who'd cleverly outmaneuvered the humans using decoys. The humans promptly lost the use of their brains. chonkemp, also known as the "magnum guy," won the game by a single point, caused invariably by his ridiculous overuse of dual magnums combined with tripmines and several lucky melees.

Torchelo does the Matricks. Funnily, he lost this fight.

Against all odds (empty rocket launcher). InsaneSpinach was able to secure a triple kill.

Magnum Guy notices a strange growth erupting from Hajiman's chest.

Tree Rot
Arguably Bungie's best "Living Dead" map by far, this game saw some interesting (some might say 'cheap') tactics from the humans, one of which involved some serious jumping sk1llz. This game was a tie between chonkemp and InsaneSpinach. InsaneSpinach caught up in the final round with an epic standoff in the middle involving camo and the use of all her shotgun rounds.

chonkemp and StubbornOldGit are caught by surprise. O HAI

Hiding in wait. Byebye Freddie.

Final Game - Epitaph
Admittedly this final game wasn't planned, it was just for laughs. However, it turned out to be great fun, with all kinds of body-flying shenanigans. StubbornOldGit managed to secure a landslide defeat, finishing with over -3 points, being unable to control the vast, unimaginable speeds of teh alpha zomb1e. Victory was tied between AllGunsSmokin, Torchelo and chonkemp.

AllGunsSmokin gets KOed!

Torchelo lets one rip. What happens next?

Oh sh@#!! *Infected!*

Bulltrue! Phew!

There you have it, a [brief;)] recount of Saturday's events. We hope this encourages you to sign up for this week's games, and to check out our group, Zombies, Inc.

We hope you have fun!

Excellent. Your on both lists now. I think there's a 2/3 hour time difference? I'm not sure, perhaps it's best to look it up....

Time Zone Converter - The Time Zone - What time is it in ___?

I don't know what time zone your in exactly, so you'll have to do it. Sorry.

nitrotomato · 09-15-2008

**Sorry for the double post.** Thought my internet had died and didn't send my other message.

RivalMass · 09-15-2008

This group is coming along pretty well. I'm glad to see that you used my sig as I think it will help attract potential members. This weekend I will be busy most of Friday but will probably make it to the saturday session. If I am free I will jon the game anytime if it is running.

I would also like to offer up my map Holdout Requiem.

The map has dropped to the third page so comments would be helpful

It is fun and balanced. I have made updated versions which can be accesed from the post. I am also working on a third tweak that should be up soon...

Hitmonkey · 09-15-2008

I would go, but I'm going out of town Friday-Sunday. I'll try to make the other events in the future

Halostar317 · 09-15-2008

I'll join the sunday one, i'll make a sig poster for it too.

but is it in the morning or the night? if it's in the morning i can make it, if not then i can't. :(

GT: HALOSTAR317

nitrotomato · 09-16-2008

Thanks you guys, you've been signed up.

The Sunday one is in the evening in the British time zone, and at 11 in the Morning in EST.

Also, thanks for the poster; it'd be much appreciated.

Btw, RivalMass, the event is on Sunday. More people are free on Sundays than on Saturdays.

Halostar317 · 09-16-2008

Ok, i'll set my alarm ;)

There you go.

Delta538 · 09-16-2008

I should be able to make the one on Sunday but the Friday one is only a possibility.

By the way I live on the west coast so i'll have to figure out what time it will be for me
