Feed-Back: Raton Ramble!

Firstly i was late as usual but only by 15 mins as soon as i came online got an invite from the very respected host steve dogg 51

and then joined and got back to the group but then i got chicken wings and yeah i mean its chicken wings so i sat and eat them as the group cont'd after that i resumed with the meet and we got around to places i have never been and some i have i was loving the very nimble dune buggy as the weightless overpowered buggy dominated everything except swimming... couldn't understand why ?

 

After this we carried on up hill until a look out point where we were asked to get into shorts- i did this very quickly- but nevertheless we carried on to get everyone else some shorts so we impromptu... lol raced to the clothes store(i won) xp and we then all got dressed after this we assembled at the airfield for a plane journey obviously not thinking too hard. well some did there was a gang attack, a few died but then we won. then the plane was having technical difficulties but we ignored these and all jumped in-side unfortunately i couldn't afford first class so i had to sit next to the toilets... well it was that or filip ssshhh. then we got told the engine fail and we need to jump to our deaths its ok because spontaneous;y we all grew parachutes and it went well

 

After this we had to grab the quickest car/best demo derby car/truck to contest with and race to the quarry( i hit a rock i didn't win if i remember correctly it was krol) anyway we then got a choice of which car we wanted to used in order of arrival i ended up with a honda civic lol... which WON ! wayhey and was still going even after we finished.

 

We then continued do some mini events which i froze and thought its a sign that i have work tomorrow and should probably sleep lol...

 

So overall i loved this meet always love steve's meets we designed and planned out great themes and more to come.

 

Also don't forget to head over to my thread for some more offroading tomorrow Saturday 25th april at 10 pm bst (british time){check my signature}

 

Unfortunately i do not have any pics as my snapmatic never worked but yeah guys feedback always helps the host to put new ideas and how they are doing as host them self if you didn't like something just let them know and they will work to improve that

 

Goodnight Guys FusionZ Out!

[Kato X91]

Wicked meet steve. Glad I could join ya. Heres the shots i took

[Freddy1Krueger]

Great meet Steve shame it was ruined towards the end by some one that doesn't understand rules. I could go in any meet on here and start killing people but I don't because I respect the host and other players in the lobby. Demo derby two people playing in the Derby get killed by someone watching from the side. Then back in free roam whilst waiting for the race invite everyone is fist fighting till the same person comes along and starts shooting everyone. I could shoot them back but when 13 people are on the bridge in the same place how do make sure your killing the right person who shot you and not just other people in the lobby.

"Raton Ramble" 24/4/15

 

Attended by: myself, Cactus, MT, fillipos, Krol, Fuzion, Magnum, Jamie, Chewie, Freddy, glesa, simon and oaken.

 

Feedback: A big ALS thank you to all the attendees, a nice mix of new people the regulars and the return of some old faces. Everyone was enthusiastic and up until the end of the meet the patience was shown throughout.

 

I received a few apologies before the start. As a host I thank the people that informed me that they could not attend. But we did have a few no shows. I’m going to give the people that did not show a couple of days to respond and let me know why. I understand things do come up, sometimes at the last minute. But in future, if you don’t show at a meet of mine, without informing me, for subsequent meets that you sign up for I will place you on the reserves. Only if there is space will you be then invited.

 

The no shows last night were Raging Tiger and Natedog.

 

As the meet theme was the “Great outdoors”, everyone came dressed for the occasion, backpacks and flasks at the ready. As a host it’s a great feeling to see people’s individual interpretation of a theme. I love you guys for embracing the themes I set. And appreciate the time you take to prepare your characters and trucks before the event.

 

Everyone put in the effort with the camera; it’s great to see a large amount of pictures taken. And thanks to Jamie broadcasting the whole meet on the “off road all stars twitch feed”. The video will be archived if anyone wants to watch it again.

It can be found by clicking here ---------> here <-----------

 

For this meet we ran the "pointless points system".

 

Players could earn "Cooper points" for winning impromptu races, voting categories and driving performance. Bonus Cooper points were spontaneously awarded throughout the meet at my discretion. E.g chewie gained 3 bonus pts for destroying a sanchez, great use of the jerry can. Magnum ran over a Sanchez, 1 pt for you. However he attempted to destroy a further 3 with a grenade and killed cactus in the attempt so lost 3pts. Troops and cactus gained Bonus pts for some awesome driving skills.

 

At the End of the meet the points were combobulated, (divided by 6, multiplied by 2, 10 was added, 6 was taken away, a further 4 was subtracted, the total halved and multiplied by 6). The results can be found in the 2^nd half of the pictures.

We gathered at “Hookies fish bar” for the all important Voting. With the first batch of cooper points on offer, we prepared to vote.

Pictures:

 

Best Dressed character :KROL85, check out the legs ladies 6pts

 

 

The Less than Usual Award: winners Oaken & Cactus 6pts each. (for a less than usual choice of vehicle at an off rd meet)

 

Best of show: Glesatroops in the rancher. 6pts

 

 

No vote for the "best camouflaged vehicle" category , but 2 honorable mentions (myself in the green sandking)

and Magnum in the pink guardian

 

 

Following the Voting our, first task involved a group photo. To spice things up the photo spot was over the other side of the busy road/freeway. I presented this as a game of "frogger" (from the 80's). The task: simply run across the road.

 

The Complexity of this confused Magnum. It took some time for the penny to drop, “It’s like a game of chicken" he proudly declared, once it had. Meanwhile, a hungry Fuzion, like all great people arrived a few minutes late, and only caught the words “chicken”. It was to much for his stomach to stand and, he disappeared off to his kitchen to put some wings in the microwave, while the rest of us just ran.

 

We crossed the road with zero casualties, got our Group photo and made it back to the trucks. I think the fact that traffic was at a near standstill, due to Cactus using it as a runway helped.

 

A final kit check, before we headed out. A few bonus Cooper Points collected on the 1^st climb for Simon, Fuzion and cactus for making easy work of the narrow ledge.

From the mouth of the canyon we headed to the first climb. Some made it look easy while some struggled. As a host it is getting increasingly difficult to pick terrain that is challenging for the best off-roaders in the lobby, while not being frustrating and impossible for first timers. As a result there will always be a fair amount of time at my meets were you are watching others and waiting your turn. I would like to thank the group for their and allowing everyone a fair chance.

 

We headed back down to the river side and attempted to cross the water. Thanks to freddy for finding a good spot. A few decided to make their own way over (me included) and we had to make a few calls to Mors Mutual

 

We scrambled and climbed slowly up the canyon, scaling cliffs and enjoying climbs along the way. The “leap of faith" is a favourite little section of mine. It involves a climb across a big drop, one mistake and it’s a big drop down. I dished out a few cooper points here; Simon a newcomer to the meets, in his green rebel bossed this section.

 

We reached the bridge and waterfall at the top of the canyon, and headed up to the Alamo sea viewing point for a final group photo. We had managed to pick up a random panto on the way (look out for a future panto off-rd meet) this was the fourth or fifth vehicle Magnum had used.

 

In preparation for the final event, we changed into our pants (some people worryingly quickly).Not everyone received “the pants required memo”. So a visit to the clothes shop seemed like a good time for an impromptu race, with bonus cooper points on offer. Despite a full stomach fusion came in first.

 

Sandy shores airfield hanger was the meeting point for the grand finale, the "Bear Grylls survival demolition derby".

13 men half naked men collected in hanger for the start. Local law enforcement, the resident gang (and oaken) took a dim view of this. And a "brief" fire fight broke out. We took no sh*t, and without staining our Y fronts we took them down. Before heading to the skys via steve dogg airlines.

 

The rules of the "Bear Grylls survival demolition derby" were simple (even for magnum)

 

jump from the plane,

pick up a car and race to the quarry.

1st person to the quarry, gets 1st pick from the vehicles used in the race to use in the demoderby,

2nd place 2nd pick and so on

 

Krol came in 1st and picked one of the many bison’s available (it became clear it was going to be a long derby)

The derby commenced, and was eventual won by Fuzion with one leg out the car, a tough fight at the end from filipos.

 

Just a little note, the derby was overshadowed at the start by the use of flair guns. I would like to point out guys that killing is not acceptable during a derby. A flare that sets alight a car is the same as killing the driver. This ruins the event for the victim. If you’re eliminated early from a derby, it can be a long wait as a spectator. But that’s how it works, try and consider how you would feel and how you would want others to act if it was you competing in the later stages. If you’re not prepared to wait and view then don’t join.

 

a few Mini gamesto finish - Raton Rapids- (jetski, swim and run) the alternate, triathlon down the rapids. Sorry for the poor spawn points they will be fixed fixed.

To finish we headed to the presentation arena at Hookies. Hope you liked the podiums; let me know if they should appear again or not.

 

The, Pointless points result ? Well, you will have to look through the pictures to find out the winners !

Great meet as always steve. Must say I always enjoy being in a lobby with you and other off-road enthusiasts. Last night however I was getting really frustrated easily and ended up being really quiet. Plus once I start having issues making one climb I just get frustrated and end up doing miserable on any others. Also someone kept bumping into me on climbs knocking me off because I think they were in a hurry. I even went out of my way to get away from them yet they still seemed to show up. So not sure what was going on but I just ignored it for the most part. I did make it a point a few times to flip them the bird. Hopefully it was just a one time deal but if they show up again and continue then I will name names lol. But for now if they see this just relax and back off a tad lol. Anyways. Started the meet off with a bang. I got my ceremonial mugger in early that night. Always brings a good laugh. After that steve had us playing frogger. For the most part everyone made it across. I think 1 or 2 unlucky souls got taken out in the cross. After that we did some voting. While Steve was talking about the cooper point system I decide to run up to him and give him a smack on the head. Ended up getting negative 3 points for that. Everyone including me got a nice chuckle. However I think in me doing this I set the wrong impression on the meet. Steve's meets are not to supposed to allow that so I crossed a line there. So many apologies to everyone. I had waited for Steve to get to know me before I ever did shenanigans like that and made sure everyone around knew that I did that stuff out of laughs not anger lol. Anyways. We then went on several climbs. I went about in my heli for a few to get some aerial photos. hope they turned out well. So after all the climbing we went to the airfield and took another horrible flight in Stevedogg's airline. I know you try so hard to be a great pilot sir but I really think you need more training. After that we were to get in a car for a demo derby. I misunderstood the idea that once we got to the location we were leaving our vehicles and then others are taking what we brought. So much for me taking my sweet time and making sure mine showed up in an untouched condition . If I had know better I would have brought a worse vehicle and made sure it was already smoking when I got there lol. Oh well lol. As for the flares I thought it was an amazing idea. I call it demo derby extreme. Cuz honestly those derbies can go on for way to long at times. I say any way to make the destruction faster better. Plus it adds another challenge for the driver to dodge them lol. After that we did some events. The water racing one was amazing. I somehow was called a cheater because I was so far in the lead. I think I could have finished in 1st place by a whole minute but instead I tried to wait for everyone to show up so there would be no dnfs. However poor cactus and someone else got left behind. Sorry guys I tried to wait. So after that we went to the award show. Was really hoping steve was going by golf scoring because I was the only one in the negative or at least I thought I was. Turns out I ended up with 3 points along the line so I ended up with an even zero lol. Finally here are some of the pictures that I managed to snap while waiting behind to take them. I had more but I picked the best out of the 40 or so I took.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I forgot to mention the park ranger came to try and crash the party. Snapped 2 pics of it.

 

 

 

can't forget the destruction of the Sanchez. Sorry Phoenix you know I love ya but I still gotta blow stuff up lol.

 

 

 

 

 

also snapped a photo of the demo derby winner. Congratz mate!

@Steve: I know I need sleep (just arrived from work - bummed I missed the meet) but your post was really hard to read. I'm buying you a dictionary for Christmas! Amazing shots as always. Looks great and it sucks I missed this meet. I'm seriously itching to get back in a Steve meet.

@Oaken: Glad to see you back! Where the hell have you been? Amazing shots as well.

@Freddy: A trouble player that Steve didn't mention or what? What's this about?

[yello cactus]

Steve; thank you another great meet.

I'll give more of an in depth review and photos later. V-busy for the rest of the weekend.

I'm pretty sure the video footage should be good which will be uploaded next weekend.

Edited April 25, 2015 by yello cactus

[steve dogg 51]

Oaken: thanks for the pics. Looking good.

 

Fuzion: thanks for your feedback, and congratulations on the ammount of points you collected.

 

Freddy: thanks for the info and apologies if your night was spoilt. I'm Sorry the flares were partly my fault in the later stages of the derby. With the arrival of the police, it was never going to be a fair contest, and the plan was to catch the cops not the players. But I agree no need for them in the early stages or at other stages of the meet.

 

The shooting on the bridge. I'm presuming it was whilst I set up the mini game. Anyone else have any thought and feelings on this then please PM me if u can.

 

Tick: editing will take place after breakfast, time & sleep caught up with me last night. I usual have a jumbled mass of points to make and things to add, I find it best to get things down and refine later. Usually before posting, but not this time.

Hope u can make the next meet.

 

Cactus: no hurry just when u can

[yello cactus]

Just a quicky reference the fist fight on the bridge between creator mini-game. I think i smacked MT initially then everyone joined in for a fist fight which i thought was hilarious until the shooters game out.

[krol85]

'RATON RAMBLE'

 

great meet steve, it really shows you put some effort into them (for those who doubt of joining, get your name on the list next time, you'll get a very warm welkom and laugh your ass off)

I was really surprised how well my bodi(y) performed

Looks weird but it handles like a dream off-road. I'm so impressed i'd challenge anyone in a Sandking to a one on one off-road challenge.

Just don't show it deep water !

Feedback on the Raton Rumble meet:

 

All in all it was a great meet. Yeah there was spotted a guy killing dudes in the bridge, but worry not I got a revenge kill and I wasn't even in the bridge (Grenade Launcher from beneath the bridge without any collateral damage, I call this major success!!). Nice places you have discovered there stevie, really enjoyed one of the last really steep hillclimbs that I think no one else managed to climb it. I can't say I'm pleased with what the atendees said at some points and done....Destroying Sanchezs bikes is not fun and I'm requesting from Yello the destruction of tons of Sandkings (I remember the first time I joined Yellos meet where there was a destruction of a yellow sandking and I couldnt understand at first the reason of that, Im fully aware now!!). Thing is these meets always start too late for my timezone, so yesterday the meet was near the end at 4.30am i think?! I am requesting once again, why not start 22.00 GMT if it is fine with the other casuals as well. Anyways nough with the chitchat time for some pictures!

 

Artistic photo of my Mesa, Cactus in front and Simon on the back

 

Sadly no one noticed my amazing plate (Feel the G)!

 

Steve, me and jaimme

 

Steve looking down this amazing view!

 

Another view of my Mesa

 

We are on a place bitches! Had an amazing view of the flight as a co-pilot, down-size of that, I was the last to evacuate the plane and somehow I hit the wing (not your chicken wings fuzion)!

 

Closing ceremony was fun!

[steve dogg 51]

Thanks guys for all the pics and feedback so far. Have re edited some of my feedback and posted some more pictures

 

@filipos thanks for the feedback and pictures. They look great and I'm glad u enjoyed you enjoyed the meet.

 

Please don't get to downhearted by the sanchez destruction, it's meant as light hearted fun. To generate a bit of competition for a certain meet that will be taking place soon and it also provides some good banter during the meets.

 

As for the start time. While starting an hour earlier may sound simple, for me it's not. I have a busy household, bedtime is half nine. So things don't quiet Down untill about half ten. Also if I'm working I don't get back untill 9.30 And I need to eat and sort things. I can't just jump straight on the xbox. The final reason is our friends in the states. A Friday meet starting at 4pm/5pm in the past has proved to early and does not allow time to get back from wrk/school/college etc.

I have in the past were possible ran gmt and European freindly meets and will consider this if there is a demand.

Steve originally started the ceremonial destruction of the Sanchez. However I keep it alive with every meet I attend of his by at least destroying one. However I make the same ceremonial destruction of a Sandking in every meet I join of Phoenix's and Yello's. So no worries I play both sides of the fence very well. Destruction and mayhem to all. Muscle car master race!!!!(except for in off-roading situations.)
