Rps/Bps are a symbol of skill though the skill needed now is just being able to win a dam snowrace? or some quiz? or being able to jump to the top first :) which isn't exactly the real way of playing zone since I believe zone is a 2d SHOOTING game and not a jumping race..... but although it is enjoyable, it shouldn't give away items which should be obtained through killing a number of people and being able to survive at dm or winning a spar tourney.

@Miniman It shouldn't be staff's job since most of the staff don't get paid besides Dan and Stefan but they have other issues to deal with, as for the other staff they are basically players like you and me but they have the ability to host events, ban and etc. Advertisements can be made by them though it can also be made by the community itself to help the server they enjoy out.

Excuse me? When has an ET hosted a Single Snowrace, Single Jumprace or a "Quiz" to hand out Red/Blue pistoles?

Well maybe not a single one but so what if you host a bunch?
If you haven't realised zone is a GUN game not a JUMPING/RACING game, jumping and racing I believe were added as a another way to play though not the main way... and since Rps/Bps are supposedly a symbol of skill they should be won in the a conventional way.....

I understand if bombs are given away from those races but a gun? Not just any gun two of the best guns? Being given away just like that....
But it doesn't really worry me since noobs usually get it :P and they only last 30 days.

Hmmm bad idea. You want one of those awesome weapons it should be in a skillful event. Jumprace/races or even a quiz aren't skillful enough to warrant giving those in a event. They are all way too easy and giving out bombs/zone money I think is good enough in those types of events.

I am sure if any ET is giving away prizes like that in these types of events Jesse would fire them immediatly.

xD we have snowrace competitions for Rps and Bps and Jesse is usually the host :) You've been gone way to long Raven

We can't host races for those prizes even if we wanted too. Jesse only adds us the slots for what we need if it's posted on forums. We don't have anything more then bombs you can buy in Zone money shop sitting in our slots. And it's usually a deathmatch or spar tourny if it is for redpistoles,etc.

I'm sure I've seen Rps and Bps being given away from snowrace or jumprace tourneys

retarded to give away in snowrace or jumprace tourneys

Get rid of them, stop crying and EARN them. God, you're just a bunch of hardasses.

I just think that you should stop hosting Rps/Bps all together...
I'd say wait till the community grows then bring it back as a sign of skill which only the best players of the time should obtain.

I'm going to repeat myself... This time before replying to my post, Mini, please read it more.
And for the record, there has NEVER been a jumprace tourney.

I haven't hosted a Snowrace Tourney in a long time, at least over 2 months. *Claps*

No its not. I know you don't play Zone, but you really shouldn't be basing an opinion off what others say. You seem to do that often on the forums.
1. There has NEVER (that I've allowed) been a SINGLE Jump/Snowrace/"Quiz" (I still don't know what this is) for a Red/Blue Pistole.
2. There are Snowrace Tourneys yes, every once and a while. I fail to see a problem with these, host 5 Snowraces awarding points for the top 5 places.

Driving Speeders/Running fast are parts of Zone. Seeing whos best at this isn't a problem. But thats just my opinion.

especialy the running away nowaday, people have become real pros at that.

1) I'm basing my opinions on my experiences while hosting so get off your high horse and stop thinking i'm basing it on others opinions.

2) Either way I don't think it should be done for jump/snowrace/and whatever Quiz is (tourney's I mean). They are way too short to warrant that type of prize but seeing as how you in your wisdom had dan add them to traders I don't think its a problem now as lots already have these items.

3) If your going to host snowrace tourneys or jumprace tourneys make it more then 5 rounds. I bet Jesper can still kick butt in it.

4) No your right those aren't a problem but zone is about skillz when killing people. Not seeing who can outrun who or who can outrace who on a speeder.

And I'm going to say you've held Snowrace Tourneys in the past for Rps and Bps, I remember the day when Bps was in a snowrace tourney and I was like 'OMG BPS DM FINALLY' then realised it was a snowrace....

Anyway what did Dan say about the advertisement idea?

I'll talk to him when I'm able to log on.

You've hosted Snowrace Tourney? Thats odd, you seem to think its a short event lol. *Claps*
Go play Zone and stop making opinions based off what others say, again this isn't the first time you've done that.

Snowrace Tourney isn't short. Takes 10-15 minutes to host, same length as a Deathmatch. If you do Snowrace Tourney Points Version, that takes even longer...
And adding those items was a good idea... Assuming other aspects of that plan were followed through. Which they werent. Anyway, they were supposed to be there or 14 days, last 30 days.

Again, theres never been a jumprace tourney. And theres always DIFFERENT winners for Snowrace Tourney.

This is much different then your original post. I won't argue with this post, however...
