Vehicle Brand Elimination Game

[Khaisz]

I think we need to give it a couple of days before deciding the next game. To let people on the forums digest the contents of this game, celebrate Vapid, commiserate with whatever, and then come up with their own ideas. Just a day or two to see what other people think. I've no problem with the 'rest of' weapons game if that's what people want.

Well the plan is to not post the next game until 24 hours after Live Joker posts the final Commentary.

oh and I think Ikar said he won't be on today or have time today?

So the minimum time until next game is probably something like 2.5 days-.

On the topic of a DLC weapon game, I was thinking that we should wait to see if the upcoming update brings any new weapons that are to be included in the list, much like how we delayed the supers game until the Osiris came out. What do you guys think?

That might be an idea - they do say the new dlc is "the biggest and deepest yet", so it's not far fetched to think there could be a few new guns.

 

Still, June 7th. Ouch.

Steady on now. It says the new DLC "is ONE of the biggest and deepest yet". Don't expect miracles, but I'm still getting a little excited all the same

Trust Crysis to come out with something like that, lol. You mean my Kraken might actually be worth something, for deep sea treasure hunting and discovering the lost city of Atlantis?

[VinceVega84]

in R* Newswire they say that more details along with a trailer coming this week. i think we will know in a few hours - days(?) if new weapons will be added to the game, for sure before June 7th.

RIGHT SO WAIT DID I JUST PUT STALLION IN THERE GODDAMNIT IT'S DECLASSE!

Screw it. It's a spy. I've worked too long to fix this. It's now Vapid.

Good evening and welcome to the finale of the Grand Brand Championship Race! I'm Rod Eenserhter, along with Harry Knutsak. This was an epic race and I honestly don't think my pants would've stayed this shade of brown if it weren't for these adult diapers that I bought when I was going through that man-baby phase. We started the race off with Fathom crashing right out of the gate, Weeny following shortly after. While I was sick with ECola-overdose, Chariot and Zirconium met a fate more ill than mine. Harry's accent wasn't the only thing that was lost on the next day as Schyster, Hijak and Truffade ate dirt. Speaking of dirt, we burned our Commentator's Booth down to the ground and relocated to the Free Hugs Cave while BF, Dundreary, Mammoth, Bollokan and Cheval got their own bad ending.

The streak of bad luck continued as we were attacked by bad punners, which Vulcar, Emperor, Canis, Willard and Coil were all victims of as well. Enus, Obey, Overflod, HVY and Maibatsu crashing the day after wasn't the worst tragedy, Harry showing me his nudist wife was the real nightmare. Shortly after Gallivanter, Dinka, Ocelot, Annis, Karin, Progen, Pegassi, Pfister and Ubermacht were out of the race as quickly as I can say the phrase, "which toe can a camel toe tow?" Now that may be a mouthful but wait until you see the last crashes in the finale! Harry, any thoughts?

I think giraffes are best described as cows with color-changing powers that were stuck on yellow and tried to yell out in frustration but it only made their neck grow.

I meant about the race, numb nuts.

Oh! Well, even looking at the winner I'm still in shock. Before revealing the winner we have to stretch this out or else we don't have a job. Why not take a quick look at the action replay camera and see who crashed where?

If you know what this brand is doing in this race, let us know. No, seriously, we have no clue why they showed up!
Casco can't go and is now stuck at turn #1076


Albany is the loan sharks of cars; you'll pay for it with extreme interest rates!
Went bowling with Roman at turn #1085


Coquette, for when you want to drive a midlife crisis!
Went bald at turn #1114.


The Ruiner has no clue what car it wants to be, like some sort of Trans(gender)-Am.
Went flaccid at turn #1153


Grotti is Italian for "holy sh*t, you're really gonna sign this paper?!"
Caught on fire at turn #1178


Bravado, bravo for making it this far...who would've thought!
The Banshee hit the Buffalo head on at turn #1206


For when you have one designer and he likes the same design.
The name's #1217 - Out At Turn #1217.


So close...
The 6x6 can't conquer the turn #1246.


So close...wait, I have a sense of deja-vu...
Still stuck but now at turn #1250


The vehicle equivalent of a guy who talks too much about the pattern he cuts his grass in.
Declasse didn't get a passing grade for turn #1307


Giantsgiants style!

SuperSnake with the "Best Jokes Of The Thread"!

Recon signing out. Recon In Peace.

Quite the summary, Rod. So, can we reveal the winner?

Of course and boy was it a rollercoaster! I'm sure those guys will be real happy to have conquered this marathon of a race! Without any doubt, Vapid takes the win! A brand full of diversity, from utility vehicles, classics to modern sports cars and trucks. If it has 4 wheels, chances are Vapid is the brand you want. Now go out there and get a new Vapid vehicle to show your support!



I've been Rod, along with Harry and this has been the final Commentator's Booth. Let's go home, wherever that may be.

*Rod and Harry take a quick look around at all the wrecks surrounding them before taking their headsets off.*

Past Commentaries:

Top to bottom - top is first, bottom is most recent.

Commentators introduced and Fathom crashes right at the start!

Weeny is out of the race. Harry gets pissed off.

Chariot and Zirconium attend a funeral; their own! Oh, and Rod got sick from too many ECola's.

Schyster, Hijak and Truffade walk into a metal bar. Harry loses his accent.

BF, Dundreary, Mammoth, Bollokan and Cheval slid on some oil, gasoline and lube (how did that get there?). Rod and Harry relocate to the Free Hugs Cave.

Vulcar, Emperor, Canis, Willard and Coil are sold at a police auction. Rod and Harry are attacked by bad punners.

Enus, Obey, Overflod, HVY and Maibatsu are out! Martin Madrazo makes an appearance, Harry shows off his nudist wife.

Gallivanter, Dinka, Ocelot, Annis, Karin, Progen, Pegassi, Pfister and Übermacht are removed by R*. The top 10 is revealed. Rod & Harry have a run-in with some modders.

Lampadati, Albany, Invetero, Imponte, Grotti, Bravado, Dewbauchee, Benefactor and Declasse are out! Vapid wins! Rod & Harry close their broadcast.

Unused elimination tag:

First off, many thanks to those that have waited for the final Commentator's Booth before starting the next Elimination Game! I fully appreciate that. It really means a lot that you guys enjoy these things that I do. I love you all. Come on, give me a hug, don't let the half-open bathrobe discourage you.

Seriously, thanks to everyone, especially Dagger for keeping the thread open so we can discuss the next game and for everyone else on waiting on the last Commentator Booth. I never was interested in these Elimination Games, despite loving forum games (and making my own, GTA:O G.O.A.T) - I never took the time to learn how to play them and saw them as some sort of club where you had to be a regular to be heard or something. After playing two games (both from Recon, his previous being the GTA:O Lobby one), I can safely say everyone is welcome in these games. Regulars that vote each 24 hours to new faces that vote once or twice - each vote counts and people listening to whatever you have to say. Sometimes things get heated and I do believe moderation is necessary so that we can all enjoy these games. If these games had free reigns, the carriage would've crashed in a tree a long time ago. Big thanks to the mods (Dagger again, especially) for keeping this and the last thread clean but the biggest thanks should go to Recon. The way he handles problems and makes decisions is like nothing I've seen, ever. If he believes in a solution, he'll stick to it despite rebuttals and I like that. People crumble too easily to suggestions and having that backbone is such a rare thing for OP's on this forum. He's the best OP I've ever seen for any thread.

With Recon retiring (at least for a while), I fear I'll be joining him in whatever naked sauna he ends up in. As I said in the last GTA:O Lobby thread, if it wasn't Recon the OP I probably would've never checked the game out and I would've never been hooked to them. The current decision, as far as I know, seems to be weapons as the next game. The concept of a GTA:O forum lobby was amazing and made "The Los Santos Daily" news reports great and this Commentator's Booth in the form of a race was, in my selfish opinion, perfect! For weapons? I just can't see myself do a shooting range or some ammu-nation vendor. So yeah, I may pop in the next game to put a vote in and keep tabs on what's going on but I doubt you'll read about two idiots telling crude jokes to one another any time soon.

Thank you and may Vapid drive you to eternal happiness...or until you find a Bravado Banshee.

Oh, and sorry for putting the Declasse Stallion in there. It's Vapid in the portable GTA games, Classique in GTA IV and Declasse in GTA V. Oops. So....yeah....

if everyone agrees we have 2 choices:

 

A. we can post a new unincluded DLC weapons elimimination game in 24 hours from now

B. we can wait few days until further details for the new DLC come out (in case a new weapon will be added to the game)

 

the list so far:

 

1. Flashlight

2. Switchblade

3. Revolver

4. Double-Barrel Shotgun

5. Compact Rifle

[R3CON]

Just read LiveJoker's excellent report. Very glad to see his hero's return with the very detailed/diligent finale post. We like opposing brands but I LIVE for the humor, silly pics and one-liners in these reports. You're also too kind man, I really appreciate your comments.

 

I'm very sad to see the commentary go too. There's a very jovial/foolish spirit they bring to the games. They go a long way towards establishing that "go with the flow, all in good fun vibe". The reports have been a blessing when the tension is high or voter feedback is low. Very gracious for the effort LJ.

Either option is cool with me.

I'll add a poll to help you out.

[R3CON]

Poll Added

[Hunter]

I am kind of hungry for a new game, but they probably will add new weapons. So I vote we wait.

[Khaisz]

With only 7 days until DLC and probably 2 days until trailer, I'll vote wait.

There is a chance we'll get to see the new weapons in the trailer and can start it after the trailer, although that would be a long shot.

[R3CON]

Yeah, the desire to wait seems to be pretty unanimous. In the meantime, if anyone has any other DLC weapons we forgot to add (before F&F) that we haven't already eliminated, please feel free to suggest them!

 

Now is the time.

 

Current List:

1. Flashlight

2. Switchblade

3. Revolver

4. Double-Barrel Shotgun

5. Compact Rifle

Unless if you want to include That Laser Rifle I forgot the name off that we can use in that beast adversary game I can't care enough about to remember the name.

[Hunter]

Was the Marksman Pistol added? Also the Machine Pistol and Machete.

 

I don't know if those have been in other games, just better to stay on the safe side.

Yes as part of Snipers game.

Yes in it's right game

and Yes to 3rd aswell.

[CrazyFerret]

How about a Radio Station Elimination Game at some point?

 

All the stations, and each song they all play are all listed here - http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Radio_Stations_in_GTA_V

 

Could that be an interesting elimination game?

Already done that, that's one of the more recent ones

i think the reason Railgun wasn't included in the heavy weapons elimination game its exactly that. Is only for one adversary game and u cant use it outside of that

yes they were in games. Machete was my first upvote in the elimination games! i was only 2 weeks member that time xD

We had that one, though I'm not surprised you haven't heard about it.

 

It's one we don't talk about very often, you see. Some people have violent feelings about the results of that one.

[TexasRocks]

I would like to thank all you Grotti nuts for my new personal DLC car. As I mentioned during the game, I had never looked twice at anything Grotti until this game. During the game, I even bought four of them just to see what all the fuss was about. I ended up selling all of them in pretty short order, but I kept seeing one on the streets, kept stealing it just for the hell of it, and it stuck in my mind. Finally I said, you know what, screw it, I'm just gonna pretend it's a new DLC car, since it's still brand new to me anyway. Went ahead and bought it again, and I gotta say I'm enjoying my new DLC Carbonizzarre. (Still hate that name) anyway, it's really starting to grow on me, and will get me through to the real DLC at the least.

 

Also tried the same idea with the Coquette, meh, not so much same results.

[VinceVega84]

the new DLC trailer is out, no new weapons appear in it and there is no info about new weapons being added. if i remember correctly every time R* announced a DLC they gave info for new material being added few days before they released it (for example machine pistol for Lowriders DLC, revolver and switchblade for Executives etc ) the question now is if we can start the new elimination game now or wait for June 7th. my opinion is to start it but i like to consider others opinions.

Just start the Ultimate Weapon Elimination game now already, duh. 40 points, and I give it around a week. By the time it all ends we will see if there are some surprises in this update. If they showed drum mags and double drum mags for some guns, maybe they will add something else? A sniper rifle, I dunno.

 

It's not like we can change the winners. The list is already out there. All we need to do to make an interesting game is to think of some scenario which could be reviewed by livejoker, a Hunger Games of some sort, but with guns. That, of course, if livejoker does not mind to work again. All better than a simple "vote here, vote there, x eliminated, y won".

[Hunter]

I want to start it, but then again, there's only 5 days. And what if it did turn out there was something new they held back from the trailer? Very unlikely I know, but then there'd always be that missing gun. And what if it was a really cool gun?

 

What if this is new too (here's a little something to make everyone feel sick):

I personally think "straight up" Elimination Games are growing stale. I've only joined the last two Elim Games which were both hosted by Recon so I am by no means a regular but I've noticed that people who take the "roleplay" aspect to it seem to enjoy it more. The reports I do simply add to its fun factor. Ursine is onto something but not because of the ability for my reports to tie in but more for the players to enjoy the game that much more. If possible, don't do a "vote for your favorite gun and remove two points for a gun you hate!" Instead, try to tack on a roleplay element to it:

"You're stranded on Mount Gordo. The nearest road is impossible to reach without getting spotted by the enemy. You must clamber down and try to survive. You have 3 weapons but they're a heavy burden on your strained body. Toss two weapons on the ground (-2, can be divided but that can make the scenario weird as how can you chuck two weapons but still divide the score so best would be to -1 only for two weapons) and keep one to use in the upcoming fight (+1, for a weapon). The enemy is closing in and it seems they're not alone. Which weapons do you throw away and which weapon do you use to aid your survival?"

Something like that. Just a simple idea so don't get specific with it. I'm not saying something directly like that but something that gives people an idea to run with. Get their imagination going. Set a scenario up that people can relate to in terms of playing GTA:O. Something that makes them go, "well, the enemy is coming in fast in an Insurgent and a molotov won't do much. I'll upvote the SMG and downvote the knife and brass knuckles." That way each vote gets variables. Now the OP could sway the game a bit by putting up daily or weekly scenarios in the first post so people base their votes on the scenario but that may be too much power and favor certain weapons but there's definitely room for improving the typical Elim Game setup.

Recon and I, for the last Elim Game, discussed using aspects of my GTA:O G.O.A.T such as special services (Merryweather, Mugger) to use on players (A.K.A forum members who were in the last GTA:O Lobby Game). They had modifiers that affected the score and the voting pattern for the next post(s). Although such thing is tons of fun for those that enjoy dense forum games, it's gonna take a hit to those that enjoy the simplicity of these games and make it much harder to keep track of votes and times of voting. I hope Recon uses that concept in a game but Recon and I both know that using such system could potentially doom the game from the start...but all revolutions start with a setback. Upgrading the Elim Game system to incorporate modifiers could change how we play these games. No offense (sorry!) but I don't think GTA:O Elim Games are ready to be overhauled, though, so we'll need to start off small with one or two modifiers. Now you may tell me that the Elim Games are perfect the way they are but even GTA grew boring after we played it over and over again. These games will require some spice down the line, I can guarantee that.

I'm unsure if I'll be reporting on the next game depending on real-life work and if the concept of weapons interests me enough. I can report on anything as I got quite the imagination but if I don't have the energy or the driving force to spend hours on end working on posts for a forum game then they won't happen at all. Anyway, we'll see how it goes. First off just decide what you lot are gonna start the game on and when you're gonna start it then I'll see if I'll hop in as a commentator or simply a voter.

*edit*
To summarize: adding a roleplay element engages voters much more and gives their reasoning more backbone. That's just my opinion but I can see myself enjoy a game more if I could "inject" my in-game personality/way of playing GTA into the Elim Game (ex: what I would do in a certain situation, what car I'd drive for what, what gun I'd use, etc.)

Well ofc we are switching back to 40 points, it was only 20 because the amount of items was to much this time and if we had 40 points it would have still been running at this time.

Also I think this short break is good, especially after the two 40 item games.

But if people rather do this DLC game since it looked like no new weapons and only weapon mods like "Laser Sights?" and Drum Magz, why not start it.

To some people I guess it's growing stale, But it depends on the person.

I'm only voting because I want to vote, I'm honestly not giving 2 sh*ts about reasons or roleplay, I just wanna vote something up and something down because I like this kind of games.

But that is not to say that adding a roleplay element to this would make it a lot more exciting.

I'm not sure where I'm going with this anymore.

But I guess to summarize: Do whatever you want, It's a free game, Want to roleplay why not do it then?, You might beable to draw more people who want to roleplay vote.

[Amy Vinewood]

Now you may tell me that the Elim Games are perfect the way they are

I think elimination games are perfect the way they are, their full of excitement, subversion and trickery.

 

Their not that bland, especially when you have people sending you death threats by pm based on how you post, mods having to delete posts because the whole thread is way off-topic, arguments and fights, friendships lost over what you upvoted, ect...

 

Stick around a bit livejoker, play the game this way... it will surely grow on you (:
