Ups, this event has turned into some drama crap :monocle:

Apparently; "the random chance is all BS", "the times were predetermined" (Drunken F00l). It seems like (apparently) those predetermined times were leaked.

The whole wrench thing is a load of bullshit to be honest.

If the rumours of someone filing a class action lawsuit against valve over it (its technically Illegal Gambling in the US somehow) are true I will get behind it :P

Haha! Valve, you suck donkey bawlz!
This is lame. If they had just announced the system from the beginning, it would have been fair, but now people wasted all their items for no reason, while some people knew the exact timing.

I don't think I'll be running the Payload Race map on the bw/gr server, but maybe I'll put it on another server. :silent:

So there's two new PL maps, Hightower is the race one? I don't like PL races.

Also I'm so happy DF got VAC banned. That fucker deserved it long ago. First the idling thing he made (granted, I used it, but it's still stabbing Valve in the back by making it) and now this shit. Fuck him.

Yeps, notice the red cart under the "hightower" label ? :v

:O:O:O there's a third payload map! will it be run also? or be placed onto a 'second server' of which Karl mentioned?

OMG YOU CAN UPGRADE THE MINI SENTRIES! AREN'T THEY ADORABLE!

I emptied my backpack trying to get a Golden Wrench. :(

The system they used was a bit retarded IMO. They should have put a daily cap on the amount of Golden Wrenches given out, and then made it truly a random craft drop.

Suggestion: Raise the Engi slots to 4-5?

Are Upward and Thunder Mountain_PL to stay then?
I have to admit thunder mountain is amazing fun!

I hope so :) Both maps are pretty cool.

Haven't tried Upward, but the other one kicks ass!
Spy's paradise!
