Would anyone be interested in an instagib tournament?

[Jango40]

I remember playing instagib while I still was in the JAWA clan, and it was just pretty much some of the most fun I've ever had in JKA. Is anyone else interested in creating a tournament?

[Wasa]

The idea sounds fun, I'd certainly lik to help ya . However, what would be the exact date?

[the_raven]

what is instagib?

[MagSul]

I honestly have no idea what that is, either. 

 

Tell us!

Thanks to the magic of Google, I found this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Instagib

 

Stands for Instant Giblets, referring to one-hit kills in FPS games where the victim is instantly turned into 'giblets', or explodes. 

 

Originated in Quake II and made popular in Unreal Tournament.

It's 1hit kills with a disruptor (no sniping) and faster movement speed, usually in CTF mode. Fun stuff.

There is an instagib mod which gives disruptor endless damage and disables all other weapons, force powers, items etc

I'm up for it!

Are you asking for someone to create a tournament for you to participate in, or to help you host one?

@@Iffo ahh the fellow Mvp, would love to play this with you again

 

@@Circa Well, I'm searching for some to help organizing this stuff - finding players, a suitable time, helping with the mod + of course I'd need a server. So, help in creating a tournament.

[MagSul]

I can tell already that I would be bad at this. If I'm around when one takes place, you can count me in! 

[eezstreet]

I played in a tournament a long time ago with instagib repeaters and a last-man standing type of mode. (I placed #2). Would happily play again.

My clan does an instagib event every month or two, which is open to anyone that wishes to join. I could post here next time we do one.

 

We switch to the Instagib IV mod, which only supports disruptors and CTF mode. Would love to have someone make a simple mod like that but also includes options for any weapon and gametype of choice, like I think other mods like jaPro do. I'd rather not mess with big mods like ja+ and japro when I only want this one feature for one event.

https://jkhub.org/files/file/1937-promode-alpha/ allowed instagib w/o ctf iirc but it's not really hard to do a little custom instagib mod

Yeah, I had looked at that bottom one you linked, but it's Windows only, and my server is Linux. Definitely a good option if you are running a Windows server though.

We should work on it

Fork openJK and do it Implementing the basic features won't take more than 15 min

[Jango40]

You can also ask the Jawa Clan, altho if @@afi says it's that simple it's probably pointless

I actually wanna play this! But I'd probably end last place because of all the lag I always get in MP

Nah man, I played on American servers with 150+ ping and still did well. The most important thing is being good at bunnyhoppying around and general acrobatics
