Win a NOVINT FALCON!

Tom Novint (CEO of Novint) announces plans for "Falcon Challenge" on the Steam Forums!
Click here to view the post!

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.

I better start practicing...very much...

 

[Noobkiller]

I call the second match!! after Ranthus O_O

 

[Cicatriz]

1. =(eGO)=?JohnT 1,013 1,619 0.63

"Last time I played with him, he was at about an 8 to 1 kill to death ratio, which isn't shabby. Usually he's around 3 or 4 to 1 (usually I'm around 1 to 1 when I'm playing one of my preferred classes)."

, I hope your practicing JohnT

 

[Masterpiece]

OH wow, that's gonna be epic.

 

[Angreifen]

Wow John, you sweet talked them so much that they actually think you are an employee of theirs? :-b j/k

But in all honesty if I were you I would stay off the TF2 Arena map... people might see johnt and then challenge you.

In any case this is a really cool thing happening on our servers.

 

[Stinky Wizzleteats]

I am coming for you!

 

[Darth]

Btw, i dont think we are going to be actually playing our JohnT (i dont think anyway)

It seems awesome that they picked to host the event on our servers

 

[Killa]

Are you that good John? o.o

 

[-Jv-]

*wants to join*

 

[Louis VI]

OMG, I want to do this COOOL. !

 

[sokO]

This JohnT guy will probably be some nerd who sits around all day, like us, and not some fancy business man. He's going to kick everyone's buts and they will not send anyone a falcon because this guy is better than optimus prime on steroids.

 

[DeFy]

awesome! So when and what server?

 

[Prisoner416]

Hmm... I distrust new methods, normally. Winning one would be cool, but if I don't, I'd have to try it before buying it.

 

[Milwaukee]

I don't think the details have been ironed out as of yet, after reading all 19 pages in the steam community forum. I do know however that the queue for the event is probably going to be on that forum not ours, it hasn't started yet, Tom Novint will announce when the queue starts.

Best of luck to all that are going to attempt this challenge.

[PhIxX]

20:1 kill ratio as a scout? Ha!

I wanna play, but can't imagine how long the wait is going to be on this thing.

 

[Major Payne]

Hmm...I probably won't enter, but I'd like to see what the final tally will be.

 

[Prisoner416]

What's with the amount of eGo hate on the Steam forums? It's surreal.

 

[Laugh]

This is awesome! I can't for the rest of the details. Exact server, how ti 'win', etc. I'm gonna get that Falcon!

 

[Rice_Eater]

Wow, looks like it's going to be epic.
