Rigs Of Rods: Monster Jam Leauge

[JoshDIGRhodes]

I'll be perfectly honest, i don't know if this post belongs in this section or not. I'm just trying to help get the word out about this series:

Rigs of Rods Monster Jam is the first of its kind, a monster truck sim racing leauge. We have had two points races already, and one exhibition race and all 3 have ran about as long as your average monster truck show(2 and a 1/2 hours). Last Nights race featured 13 trucks, up from 10 the week before, and up from 8 the first night. Here is the link to our forum(Note: This is not a forum designed to take away from the traffic of this forum. This is strictly Monster Truck based and for our racing series.) http://rormonsterjam.freeforums.org/index.php I'm hoping by posting this we get some new members and racers before next weeks event. The more we get, the better the racing will be. Who knows, Box5 and Squishy might wanna come try it out and race with and on their creations.

A few notes about the series that isn't mentioned on the rules page in our forum: Mike Elmendorf and MadMax(DCRoadWarrior here) created this series and asked myself and Jeff Bruzee to come on and be Officials. I've also put together several videos for the series, including highlight videos of the first two shows and one coming soon of our third event held last night, as well as "Intro Videos" for a few of the trucks in the series which i will post below. All 4 of us have not only raced MT's online before in another game, but we have all worked at a few actual shows and seen how things work behind the scenes. We are always open to input however

how can i join

[JoshDIGRhodes]

Post in our forum in the ROR Monster Jam secion in the signups thread. Currently because there arn't enough trucks to go around we are accepting duplicate signups so you can run as any truck except Grave Digger, Max D, and Air Force.

ok how bout if i custom paint a monster truck

[Box5diesel]

Hey, i'm glad to see you guys from MTM2 are enjoying the trucks.

[tdev]

i also like how we can gie you a new platform to play with

im just wondering what feature are you missing for your kind of gameplay? Since the new servers are pretty stable, we could host some here just for your group.

[JoshDIGRhodes]

We have had a few members do that, that is ok. However since we havn't figured out why some of the trucks conflict it probably won't show up in the highlight video of the events you are a part of.

[mr.al]

oh ok ;D

Box5:
I to wish there were more stadiums. The tracks we have custom built are good as well. The one problem we have with Squishy Stadium is the lag it gives most everyone of our racers. The custom built trucks we have are very wide open and with the trucks parked farther away from the performance area we get less lag and create some very fair racing.

tdev:
A new server would be nice, thats something i'll have to talk over with the others. The one thing i have a problem with is being kicked from the private server we use when certain drivers disconnect from the game to go back to the chat room(We use an AOL Chatroom so all the drivers are not in the game at once.)

yes, we have some bugs to fix :-\
but that wont work without your feedback towards us, without knowing about a bug, we cannot fix it.

i hope that some day multiplayer will be totally bug and disconnection free

[JoshDIGRhodes]

I'm hoping for that as well, haha. The game is so easy to get back into though i don't mind the kicking as much.

[DCRoadWarrior]

Yeah, the league just started and is going great. I have to commend you guys on taking the time to learn how to do all of this stuff; the MTM2 process of building things is much, much, simpler.

I'd like to join driving Blacksmith.

how do i get the maps i signed up

[bigkeith11]

ok so i signed up and it said that it sent me a verification e-mail to me and 30 min later i havent recieved one...?

???

[JoshDIGRhodes]

The tracks/maps are released the day of the race, which is a Monday.

I just wanted to update everyone here on how the racing has been, and what better way to do that than with full on TV style video coverage of each event? Here are a few videos of the last few weeks races:

Houston Texas Racing(freestyle was a clip show, its on the youtube page if you want to see it.):


Phoenix Racing:


Phoenix Freestyle(Parts 1, 2, and 3):




Pittsburgh Racing:

Your site isn't allowing new registration. I complete it and it comes to a page saying "Cound not open socket"

[DCRoadWarrior]

That's weird, no idea what that is. But within in a couple weeks we will have our own new site and forum and everything, so watch out for that!

[Dodger12]
