Rise wasn’t around for tonights Gauntlet, so I did one. It started a bit late and wasn’t quite as big as some of the previous ones, but I think people had fun.

In the beginning, only Huambo was attacking, but by the time they got about halfway through, Dorra and Beng jumped into the action. They made steady progress until they reached the room with the CC. After 5-10 minutes of everyone unsuccessfully trying to shoot the turrets, nemises (from Dorra) made several attempts to rush the CC only to fall just short.

Meanwhile, Beng got orbed by Clientel from Huambo. It looked like they were out of the running, but they rebuilt quickly and Flash grabbed the orb. He succeeded where nemisis failed…rushing the cc with about 5 turrets shooting at him.

Flash got the orb…Beng got the 150 points. Great event with over 20 people online and 3 full cities participating!

Winners: Benguela
Flash (Orb)
cseow
tooshorttony
nemisis

Another huge gauntlet was built this Sunday with wdouglas doing about 60% of the work. I let him go crazy on the south side, and he made it into a beast. He placed 600+ turrets which made up half the gauntlet. The gauntlet itself had 3 starting cities, each of which had to go through 140 plasma turrets before reaching the middle command center.

Lahij made the fastest progress to the middle, but they couldn’t shoot all the turrets in the middle without the help of the other 2 cities.

Once the three teams finally met up, rather than working together, they decided to go to war and began killing eachother. They noticed this prevented them from making any real progress and made them have to constantly drive a long way, so they eventually stopped. They still killed each other from time to time, but they at least made the effort to make it look like an accident…

After the middle point, Benguala found the quickest route to the command center while annaba and Lahij announced a new declaration of war and bega killing eachother again! I tried to help Annaba out by telling them they were on the longer path, but Sanders said he would rather have fun, than watching someone else shoot turrets. Wise words we all should follow(seriously).

Eventually Sanders cleared the longer way while the other teams were clearing the command center. After 2 hours of the gauntlet, Clientel rushed the cc for the orb. Benguela recieved 500 points. Below is a list of the teams. If your name is missing, please post about it in the forums so we can add you!

This gauntlet was huge. It covered 16 Command Centers and had many branches from it’s 5 main paths. We had started building it around 5 and didn’t get finished till 7:30. It was filled with plasmas, sleepers, and mines. There were a couple of dead-ends and tons of trails, but only one path led to the cc. Half way through Resistencia got lost and was at the total opposite end of where the goal was. Santiago had also went down the wrong path wich wasted some of their time. After about 2 hours, they made there way to the cc area, and I had to summon them because it would of took forever for them to finish if I didn’t.

It was crazy, I remember telling Batcho(I think) to rush the CC, but he didn’t. He died and Deceth from Santiago rushed the cc and got the orb while I was summoning people. I would like to thank iggy, vindkast, finn, and jizohn for their help building the gauntlet.

This controversial Gauntlet has spawned a whole series of separate debates on the forums! Should Gauntlets be worth 500 points? How can they be made more fair? Should the point prize vary depending on the number of participants? Is there a way to satisfy everyone, or will the same people complain regardless? What do you think! Discuss the controversy here!

Weebo was awesome and let me build a gauntlet tonight, so I built what I think was a pretty damn big gauntlet. However, the only 2 cities weren’t cooperating in the beginning. Huambo orbed Bengula, then Benguela came back and orbed Huambo. After that they finally started working on the gauntlet, but Benguela was once again orbed by Pirate causing almost their entire team to leave except cseow who joined Huambo.

I gave Huambo plasmas so they could focus on the gauntlet seeing as how they were the only team interested. I’m pretty sure nobody else made one like this. It had 3 paths, one led to the cc, and the other 2 led to deadends. The CC path was guarded by 2 turrets at impossible angles, and the only way to shoot them was to use both dead ends to distract them. Scile however, managed to shoot them with only one person distracting. In the cc area every square had a plasma turret on it, so it took them a while to clear it all out. In the end Scile orbed it and Huambo was awarded 500 points.

A regular gauntlet again, but it got off late. Wasn’t too big but I think it was fun. Huambo did most of the work, and Tyler came in for the late orb. I do believe he was awarded 400 points, but his mayor wasn’t. He was new and left before he could claim his prize!

Instead of doing the 3 way gauntlet I made a traditional one. Both teams worked together all the way till the end which helped them make much progress. The hardest part of the gauntlet was the very end where every square was filled with a turret. At then end when they cleared out most of the turrets RedxKingz and Scile joined Deceth. The gauntlet ended with IGGY orbing it and his team receiving 300 points.

Instead of trying the traditional Gauntlet we made 3 starting cities. Each had to go through 120 plasma turrets to reach the middle. Then they had to go South to reach the end wich was covered in sleepers, plasmas, and mines. We built the first gauntlet, but it was orbed before the event was started so we had to build it again. The second one was crazy. Cordoba made the fastest progress to the middle, but once all the teams made it to the middle of the gauntlet they started to kill eachother and sabotage enemy bases. It took them a while to stop killing eachother, but when they did they started making progress on the southern part of the gauntlet. It took an hour and a half for them to reach the final CC. Luanda and Cordoba both one because we could’t exactly tell who hit the CC first, but both teams recieved 200 points. However, Tissueissue will not be allowed to particepate in the next 5 gauntlets for orbing the first one we made, and Prince will not be able to play in any gauntlets for giving the event admins a hard time. Finally, I would like to thank RedxKingz and wdouglas for the help.

This small Gauntlet turned out to be pretty tough!

Tonight I made a big gauntlet that was a giant maze.

Then as an added twist I build a laser factory on top of every building… that way everything looked like a factory you could drive over, but the ones covering other buildings were dead ends.

It was really confusing at first since almost every factory was a dead end, and I did some big checkerboard areas.

When I was done building I just ran around randomly dropping turrets, not trying to make hard angles or anything. But 2 of the first 3 turned out to be so hard that I had to shoot them myself. This one made Magik backtrack about 30 seconds to a dead end just to distract it (the hospital isn’t a path).

After a while it got so confusing that I felt bad and started putting a trail of orbs marking the path as they discovered it.

Then citadel orbed it. The end.
