LoyaL 68 Posted July 6, 2008 Good. A group of us spent a lot of time brainstorming with ghozt. Check out the videos often, they should be multiplying like rabbits. Share this post Link to post
Vailence 30 Posted July 6, 2008 I just read the rules, it turns out its doubles. If you are randomly paired with someone who is "Significantly" below your capability level, you should be allowed to opt for a second random selection, even possible a third(With admin consent) Not to be mean to n00bs, but a lifetime VIP would be pimpin, and I dont feel like loseing my shot at it based on a poor team-mate. Super yes on this suggestion. Share this post Link to post

LoyaL 68 Posted July 6, 2008 It's a 1v1 tournament. How Many Players Per Match? Each match consists of 2 contestants, an Administrator of Ghoztcraft.net, and the optional 3 spectators. Share this post Link to post
Deejay 0 Posted July 6, 2008 so i'm assuming Admins will be using stuff like Zerg Mineral Exploit "finder"? since you said Race Specific Hacks you should also put Range Hack for Rines and Ghost's on that list. Share this post Link to post
LoyaL 68 Posted July 6, 2008 Range hack doesn't work with the current version, and there is controversy about whether it works at all, I believe. [Pending Change] The admins have full map view and there will also be two spectators at least, and a live video feed. Share this post Link to post
XGhozt 410 Posted July 6, 2008 The Practice Map has been Released. http://www.Ghoztcraft.net/forums/index.php...l&f_id=1086 Share this post Link to post

Johnny Boy 18 Posted July 6, 2008 I am so going to do this. Now does any previous hack work on this or will it have to be an updated one for the new patch? Share this post Link to post

marinepower 0 Posted July 6, 2008 Sweet, I joined. I doubt I'll win though, but it'll be fun non-the-less. Some hacks I can think of:multicommand, maphack, selection hack. Share this post Link to post
PromasserX 36 Posted July 6, 2008 Just download the two hacks i suggested, and you'll be set ;). Share this post Link to post
XGhozt 410 Posted July 6, 2008 I am so going to do this. Now does any previous hack work on this or will it have to be an updated one for the new patch? If both players would rather play on a different version of starcraft, that will be allowed. For example, if you'd rather play on v1.12b verses someone else, if both players are in agreement then it's a fair match. Share this post Link to post
Vailence 30 Posted July 6, 2008 Funny how you mentioned 1.12b, the absolute best patch for hacking that was out there lol. Share this post Link to post
