The Huntley?!?!? She died for NOTHING!!!! How can I live with myself?? Damn it I'll have to go mass murder noobs til the world feels right again....

She did .... As a result I will punish myself , I'm deducting 9,000 cooper points from myself ! That leaves me with a total of 1 cooper point, and in the competition standings that leaves cooper ahead by 2 balls ! (Ps cooper were are u)

 

U up for a sudden death challenge against bunkerbeast ! Winner takes all just think of those those amazing prizes

 

Fuzzy: gutted u has to go u were scoring good points, hope u enjoyed the group and we want to see u back.

Ps. Never stress about using a standard sanking for some it's there vehicle of choice

 

Nice pics everyone, will be uploading them to the new refreshed website later on

Define "Sudden death" hopefully its offroad related
Maybe u can include this into your Sudden Death Steve, We both failed at eachothers course's.....maybe we should get a Retest LOL

I am away till 8:00pm est today (christmas shopping with the father then dinner with the parents)

 

Cynister, if it makes u feel any better my sandking went down with your Huntley, I was hoping to retire it and put it on display LMAO

[steve dogg 51]

Nah was gonna scrap the off roading for sudden death, was thinking of having a bigwheel and rolacoaster race on the pier ! fastest time wins

 

ive got a few climbs for you both today !

 

Pictures: part 2

 

[bigd7775]

 

The selfie race results. 8pts for the winner bunkerbeast, 3pts 2^nd place cactus and 1pt for 3^rd place cactus.

 

 

Something here does not seem right. It appears that cactus won both 2nd and 3rd? lol. Best of luck to the sudden death competitors. If you need any help with running the sudden death steve let me know. Don't mind lending a hand.

[xRAx Cynister]

I'm Down to hash it out, have to attend my sister's concert at 6pm est, I'm estimating I could be available around the same time as bunker

The demons of dirt shall arise from their fiery graves with vengeance in their headlights and worms in their grills, their mounts standing proud upon their bonnets (see also "hood") <-- I choked on my drink on that one last night

As for the selfie race I'm certain it was vapitz and I on that podium

[J_R_P]

Is there anything on this evening?

[Vapizt]

 

vapizt shares the same dislike of lights as i do !

 

More airflow to the engine Steve!

 

Great meet as always man, even better with everyone submitting a little something to the event...I didn't do the greatest, but sure was glad to be apart of it & gain some experience .

 

Not many, but here's some pics from the beginning;

[jamiem52]

Just in from work not had a chance to get my pictures up but will do later.this was my 4th or 5th meet with Steve and a lot of the rest of u feeling like I'm getting to no u better witch made it a better night for me (not feeling as much as a noob now).was a great night and a great experience getting to see all the different line ppl go up a climb and learn from it.

Bunker I had in my head that u would choose that hill and I was mad I couldn't get up it cause the amount of times me and u go up that climb the nerves must of got the better of me.

Can't wait for the next off road meet and thanks again Steve for a great meet and thanks to everyone that was there

[xRAx Cynister]

I'm not going out tonight after all, feel like hell. I'll prob get on tonight and take things easy. More than willing to host a free roam, can off-road a bit, drag race, whatever people would like to partake in. I've had requests for both recently, so if anyone would like to just have an informal but friendly go around let me know. Will be on around 5pm est, 10pm gmt

I should be on about that time

[yello cactus]

What a great night. I honestly love the off-road meets.
Steve; yet again you did a great job. The amount of planning, chasing up people for their nominations, keeping us in order, planning a route, working out a scoring system, etc etc. You did great and I really appreciate the hard work you have put in. Thank you.

I was hoping my Bifta could have proved itself a bit more. I stuck with it when I could have went down the Sandking route but still in hindsight, i'm pleased I gave it a go.

Some of the challenges were tricky but all enjoyable (apart from when i fell down the cliff at the dam challenge; that was a long walk back!)
I wasn't keen on going first but as soon as I seen where Steve was starting the meet I knew it would be mine. I'm not kidding; I spent hours doing my route and managed it 9 times out of 10 but I KNEW i would cock it up and failed at my first attempt.
I was honestly nervous! I'm a 43 year old playing an xbox game and I was nervous about looking like a tit!

I could have chosen my Rusty Rebel, Patriot, Dubsta 6x6, Mesa hard top, BeeJay, Mesa Softop, Duneloader, Dune Buggy, Bodhi, Huntley etc but I went for these two bad boys...




My fav paint job of the night


Challenge number 1 - My challenge!


It's a long way down


Mesa looking good






Making it look easy







The finishing line




Next challenge - The island crossing




Next challenge



Someone fumbled a grenade and slightly burnt my Bifta (not a great loss - see the climb and you'll understand)





The Firefighter looks impressed




Checking out the challenge...


Then he smashes it

[yello cactus]

Next challenge - across to the island then for a bonus point, hang a left and make it back to the mainland. Easy...for some

 

 

My water logged Sandking (after the challenge, on my way back)

 

 

Steves Cargobob - the fourth emergency service

 

Oh dear...a drowning Sandking

 

Next challenge at the Humane Lab

 

 

Too steep for my Bifta

 

 

Not photoshoped - it really was steep

 

 

 

 

Next challenge - The Dam

 

 

 

Nice view from the top

 

 

The Dubsta laughs in the face of these little hills

 

 

Waiting for the next challenge

 

 

Quoboy beating his Sandking with a bat.

 

Top tip Quoboy; if you didn't have the urge to fire your guns at random stuff you might not have accidentally shot me in the face while I was sitting waiting for my shot of tackling the challenge; thus letting my Sandking roll back into the sea costing me money and the hassle of ordering a new vehicle.

Only time a weapon should be used is to scope up a mountain to watch a vehicle, or a grenade launcher to blow a vehicle out of the way if it's in the water or if trapped in a Gang Attack.

#JustSaying

 

 

Looking like he's going to smash this

 

 

Maybe not

 

 

Yay

 

 

INCOMING SANDKING

 

 

 

Next challenge

 

 

 

 

 

Final challenge

 

 

One of my favourite shots

 

 

 

 

Then it was time to announce the winners and what better way to end a meet than a small celebratory fire

 

 

KA-FOOKIN-BOOM

 

 

The End

[FailingGeorgew]

my bad with the grenade as Ive already said .and if we,re getting into ages and nervous I,ll drop this on you lot I,m 58 years old not bragging just saying!

[yello cactus]

No probs with the Grenade. Plus it saved me driving away to order my Sandking.

[steve dogg 51]

To be honest George, cactus I've never consided age an issue I don't set a min age (or max) on my meets for a purpose .....there are some cool what I would consider younger players out there (fusion hope u don't mind me using u as an example) As long as People comply with the rules and treat others with respect it all cool with me. It's clear we have a broad spectrum of ages and other factors etc at the meets but that all part of the fun, and that's one of the biggest appeal of gaming. I try to treat each person at the meets individually, some are more excitable and need a bit more patience and lenience, some people are more sensitive and need more encouragement, some people can give as good as they get and can take some of the jibes !

 

The other thing. I don't allow killing in the meets but, what little has occurred has all been accidental apologises come quickly and it sorted most of us just laugh it of.

 

Even the best of us have the odd bad day with a grenade and direction

Hey Steve & Cynister,

 

Is the Tie Breaker gonna happen tonight? I am good after 8:00 est So let me know. Actually kinda excited to see what you have lined up for us

 

So what happens if Steve can't do his challange LMAO

[steve dogg 51]

im on now what time is 8pm est is that 3am gmt ??

[bunkerbeast]

Its 7:33 Est right now

 

[steve dogg 51]

cool i will message cynister now

[bigd7775]

Cactus that last picture is amazing! I love it. Shows my exploding body in a great posture. As for me smacking cynister and steve at the end of the meet last night I thought it was in good fun. If it wasn't well then I guess my bad but I still was laughing my ass off having cynister chase me around the parking lot lol. As for the age thing. I feel young now at the age of 28(nope I still feel old as knobs. No offense to you elders out there, but I just have been a responsible adult since I was old enough to clean horse stalls.). But really age means nothing. It is about maturity and how you hold yourself in the meets I feel. If you act like a kid and do childish acts you can go some where else. If you act like a mature person and want to have fun and learn then stay. A lot of things can be learned hanging out with you all. I know I have learned new things I didn't know was possible with the vehicles in this game. If it wasn't for me liking the looks of the sports and super cars that I have I would probably be selling them to get some more off road vehicles for these meets. Also why is the mesa so horrible. The merc mesa looks so perfect for rock crawling and off-roading but the traction on that thing to me is garbage. I know a good amount is my inexperience and driving style because I have seen cactus and a couple of others do some amazing things in it. I guess it just would be really nice if rockstar would give us some off-roading modifications. Raise vehicle height, tune our vehicles for better traction and torque, and better off-roading tires. Maybe I should write to rockstars suggestion (auto delete) email. See if they might be nice enough to hook us off-roaders up.

[steve dogg 51]

As we wait for the Sudden Death Conclusion to "King of the Hill" between cynister and bunkerbeast,which will happen later in the week.

 

i'm going to open up some info on the next challenge. But first we need to decide what it gonna be.The challenges are all about the people in the lobby (the last event proved that more than ever) and therefore the next challenge is going to be the "peoples choice". You decided which one you want to do !

 

The chosen challenge is going to run some time on the week commencing the 15th of December. Here are your two choices, both routes have been planned but which one to do 1st ? the challenge that has the most votes the day before the decided date will be the one we run.

 

The challenge that is chosen will be the penultimate challenge of the year. I will of course be running a Christmas Free Roam Meet in the snow on current & Next Gen when (and if) Rockstar gives us SNOW !!

 

 

 

to vote for the "Less Than Usual" challenge simply start your post : LESS

to vote for the "High Life Challenge" simply start your post: HIGH

 

some limited info on both events ( more to follow)

 

less than usual: for this meet you have to ditch your "usual" vehicle and pick something "less than usual" , break out of your sandy comfort zone !

 

High Life challenge: flash the cash ! pull out your baller's, ! and bring something flash and expensive, its all about looking good in this a SUV only challenge.

Edited December 8, 2014 by stevedogg51

[bigd7775]

Does the 6x6 or the merc mesa count as an SUV?

[steve dogg 51]

Nope ... but it does count as somthing that is less than usual for u

[FailingGeorgew]

I,m liking the sound of the high life challenge

[Ph03nixxxx]

LESS!

[FailingGeorgew]

as long as you dont call me grandad I,ll agree with all of the above

[bunkerbeast]

Both sound great,
I vote leave the Sandking at home and pick something "LESS" for the first event
Gonna be awsome cruisin around in the Liberator LMAO
Be Awsome blowing the Dust off the Patriot & Rancher once again.....both amazing vehicles that dont get enough use

[yello cactus]

'High' gets my vote.

I try as many of my off roaders as possible when we do the 'Around LS' challenge so less than usual is my normal. (Hell, I used my Bifta in King of The Hill!)

 

I love my Baller (original) so High Life gets my vote.
