Finally. It’s here, although 90% of you will dismiss the epilogue that I said on like…several posts ago.
Welcome to the 1st ever Street Showdown event!!
Tired of all those CSRs, CSCs or what not? Want some action that is not found on your typical serious professional race events? Feeling a little bit rouge? Played NFS or Midnight Club before? Well, here’s the race you wanted!
“Erm, what the hell is that?”
This is a race event where you compete with other drivers and cops be the winner of the race. It’s all about beating everyone in an high-stakes racing event. Wanna try it?
“How the fuck this game is going? Am I missing something?”
Here’s how the game should be play like:
Day time: Well, here’s the place where the actual races are set on. Everyone is competing on the same field, and you must win by getting the first, second and third places, and after that you need to beat the Showdown King
(a.k.a. me)in your Tier 3 car and win the event. There’s a total of nine events + 1 final event against the Showdown King for the top 5 winners.Note: Since most people is asking me how the races are done, well, they are done in Automation with custom tracks that I made myself. (the laps are quite crude tho tbh) Laps of circuit races will be determined by me, with shorter circuits having more laps. Each round will be consist of a track, and who comes first will be the winner. (Also, sorry for the lack of info given to you guys First-time event hoster problems.)
Night time: Here’s the high point of this event. With this, you need to use your skills and wits to evade from cops from the event. Miss one step and boom you’re arrested. But if you survived nighttime, then you could get more fame and this would also have a negative effect on your infamy rating ie. cops will be treating you worse on those pursuits. Also getting caught means you will effectively out of the race until the next night, with your infamy rating (we call it “wanted level”) back to zero. And this is the interesting part: Do you joined Once More or anything similar? If so, this time period is like those events, where you could RP your way to evasion by yourself, your friends or everyone else.
“How points work for the event?”
I glad you asked this. Here’s the rule: In every race, the first will get 20 points, the second will get 16, and the third will get 12 points and so on. For the full list of points I’ll give you a handy chart.
Place | Points |
---|---|
1st | 20 |
2nd | 16 |
3rd | 12 |
4th to 6th | 10 |
7th to 9th | 8 |
10th to 12th | 6 |
13th to 16th | 4 |
17th to last | 2 |
NOTE: Rules may change with player count.
And for those worrying being arrested will affect points, don’t worry. Your points will NOT be deducted. Just you can’t do the next events the next day until the day has ended anyway.
“So, where do I start then?”
See the rules below. This could give you a clear idea of what should you do on the race.
“Alright, I wanna join. Could you tell me what to do now?”
Firstly make your vehicles. Then send me the file and I will check it. If everything’s alright and I have confirmed your entry, you can really sit down and relax until the event has started.
“Final question, will you buy me a copy of Need For Speed: Heat?”
No. Get out and buy your own.
