Tom Novint (CEO of Novint) announces plans for "Falcon Challenge" on the Steam Forums!

Excerpt from Tom's post on the Steam Forums:
It will be a contest in Team Fortress 2, where people using the mouse can play against a Novint employee, John T, using the Falcon.

We'll be hosting the contest on Edge Gamer servers (http://www.edgegamers.org) - they're a very cool group with lots of members playing online games. They will host the servers and moderate the contest. You probably will recognize them from their servers which have the "=(eGO)=" name.

If you can beat John, we will send you a Falcon/pistol grip for free, if you cover shipping costs. Even if John loses every game, there's no limit to how many Falcon's we'll send in the contest.

More details to follow. We would also like to note that this is not our JohnT, but an employee from Novint that apparently shares his nickname.

so many replies, and this has probably been answered, but, is it caps or kills to win?
 
I got totally hosed. I was first in the Steamgroup. I made the first comment on the the Steamgroup when it opened. Went to the forum post to discover I was unable to post as my account was still being activated/moderated.

Greetings from page 38.

Same thing happened to me. The moderator approval system is worthless and a waste of time, IMO, they have the only forums that I've ever seen employ that.


ON A DIFFERENT TOPIC,

Masterpiece *must* crush this guy if any single one of us ever has a hope.

I'm counting on you, Master. Record a demo if you can. :(
 
-- Given all the demand for the contest we'll do another contest soon (not exactly sure when), where we'll use this queue and pick randomly. That will be nice for people who couldn't get in early in the queue.

If you never joined because it was "too long to get a reasonable spot" then in the words of end of ze world "WRONG!"
Get in now ( but dont you bloody dare take my spot in it -.-

Well, Congrats to all who won, i think we were at like 15 when Drunken posted in shoutbox.
 
Yesterday was just a one day event, so grats to everyone who did well :) Reading the results thread on the steam forum, the general consensus seems to be that Tom underestimated the power of the internets and the TF2 community, which is why it was only a one day event. I would expect to see another one of these in the forseeable future(he's hinted at as much), maybe even doing a Novint team vs. a team of others to both speed things up and to get more people in. I can't see the future, but I sure do hope it happens.

In a related topic, I wanted to say I was *mostly* impressed with the say eGO members handled themselves yesterday, both in Vent and in the SourceTV chat(I wasn't in the Steam group, so I can't speak on that). There was a lot of people badmouthing eGO consistently, and for the most part they were handled as professionally as is possible with internet griefers. There were a few times where things started to get a bit too confrontational, but they were generally short lived. So, kudos to everyone in the community that bit their tongue and didn't feed the trolls :)
