Yes, the server is still online, it's just that nobody's been on it for a while. This will soon change though from this time next week (13th) seeing as it's half-term in the UK from the 12th.
The main reason I decided to reply was that I wanted to get some community feedback on how the second season of the LFS Destruction Derby League could be improved from last season's. I've already started thinking about certain changes that could be made, e.g. the registration system and skins, but would like some more suggestions.
So if you've got anything to say about the following, then please don't hesitate to suggest:
What layouts/tracks should be used
What day and what time of the year should the league be run (last year it was ran on alternate Saturdays between August and November)
What should be done to make an equal field (TBO cars are used for the league in case you didn't know)
Should there be any rule changes, and if so, what should they be (Original rules can be found here)
Anything else that you'd like to mention
Hopefully these replies can help make the second season of the DD league even better than first.
P.S. We're doing some racing on South City now, so come along and join in!
Well, I'm pleased to announce that at 9pm tomorrow night (23/10), just after the final round of the second season of my LFS Destruction Derby League, the LFS Destruction Derby server will go live for full-time DD fun!
What I'm aiming to do with this server is for classic, [noobs]-style DD action; that means barely any rules. Or, in the words of the great DD god ():
I'll be putting on a variety of courses and layouts pretty much all the time, including those classic layouts, a series of new(...ish) layouts, and some Death Lanes as well! :evil:
So 9pm BST is the time, and LFS Destruction Derby is the place to be tomorrow night.
Hope you can come along and enjoy the fun that is LFS Destruction Derby!
Sadly I lost all my skins and setups during a re-install of windows.
I had a really good RB4 set.
Thing is I always shared it when asked, so I know someone must have it (or a good set). Now I need one you could hear a pin drop and see tumbleweed roll by whenever I ask lol.
We're underway with some of that classic Death Lane action! Come and join LFS Destruction Derby now for some great fun throughout the night (...well, most of it anyway! :razz
Destruction derby has similarities with banger, but Destruction Derby (at least in this way) is a faster version of it on bigger track. Usually banger series are with the slow UF1 car while DD is with TBO / faster cars.
I was playing on the server today (CAD Destruction Derby?) and after hitting one of their members out of the race, I was called a "bitch", I did it again for laughs sake and was banned No explanation but I guess its quite obvious
Did I miss the point, I thought crashing others (other than fullspeed ram and blocking) is allowed on Destruction Derby?
All I did was PIT their member (as one of them did to me previously) and push the other to sand pit in a corner in AS3 (banned now)
Joke aside - as the fellow above here tells it's two different servers and staff. CAD server is more aimed for racing on various layouts, while the DD server aims for the same but without restrictions. Wrong way, road blocks, foul language may occure, but that's just the nature of the server
I know it happened sometimes when I was still in the [CAD] team, but I've been reading the [CAD] forums and this just seems to be happening more and more often. It's not going to look good for them if this keeps happening.
Also, this might not be the place to say it, but I don't think that the [CAD] server is a real Destruction Derby server anymore. It's just racing on layouts with minimal contact allowed. Ironically, when I first thought of my Destruction Derby League, it would have been a minimal contact league, just like what [CAD] has become. However, I realised that this might be very boring, and taking the original [noobs] Destruction Derby server into account, I changed it to its current format.
Which brings me onto the real topic of this post: I've been thinking about some changes for the 2011 season of my DD League (assuming it goes ahead), and would like any community suggestions on what could be improved or added from last season.
Currently I've got one idea, which is that the final round (the Elimination Extravaganza) will also be a points round, although I haven't fully decided on how the points system would work yet.
If you have any other ideas, then just write them down here in the thread!
