Members of Team [-Fly-] are now able to collect Kudos by completing challenges or taking part in competitions. Much like the Medals awarded in Trackmania United Forever and Xbox Live's Gamescore system, players unlock rewards by collecting Kudos. The aim of this system is to encourage our members to be active and creative and also to give them a sense of achievement for their efforts.
How it works
Below is the list of Challenges that you can complete to receive Kudos. New Challenges will be added as time goes on.
In order to be awarded Kudos for completing Challenges, members of [-Fly-] must post in the correct topic in the forums when they think they have completed a Challenge. Specific topics have been setup in the forums for the different Challenges so please post in the correct one to avoid confusion. Most of the challenges are Judged by [-Fly-] Senior Admins: THEIR DECISION IS FINAL.
Members have a special profile page (here) which lists details their Kudos earned to date. Members can also see their total number of Kudos in their signature block on the forums and there is a scoreboard which shows everyone's Kudos here.
The Challenges
500 forum posts - 100
As the title suggests, simply achieving a total of 500 forums posts will gain you 100 Kudos. Please do not abuse this system by posting utter rubbish to boost your post count! Crap posts will be deleted! You will get 100 Kudos for every 500 forum posts.
Crazy ROFL Replay award - 50 (judged by senior admins)
Create an imaginative replay with either some crazy skills, jumps, techniques to impress the judges or go for the comedy approach and make the judges laugh. There are no specific rules on the content of the replay, however it must be your own driving.
Print the [-Fly-] logo off and take a photo of it somewhere amusing - 100 to 1000(judged by senior admins)
Post a photo of the [-Fly-] logo somewhere that makes the Senior Admins LOL or ROFL for this nice little earner. Examples: stick the [-Fly-] logo on a pet or print the logo on to a tight t-shirt and get a busty page 3 model to pose in it (garanteed top Kudos!).
Get our site linked on another site (e.g another team's homepage) - 10 to 500 (judged by Senior Admins)
Again simple enough. The popularity of the site that links to us will determine how many Kudos you get.
Stiggys unique car design award - 50 to 200 (judged by Senior Admins)
Create your own unique car to get this special award. This is a one time only award - however, if you do not achieve top Kudos, you can submit better entries until you receive the full 200
Find an unknown cut - 25 (judged by Senior Admins)
Find a shortcut on a popular track that none of the Senior Admins know about.
5 awards for your own track on Trackmania Xchange (TMX)- 25 10 awards (+25)
20 awards (+50) 30 awards (+100 AND your track added to the [-Fly-] Forever server)
Having your tracks feature on TMX can be very rewarding. If you create a track that receives more than 30 awards, you will get a total of 200 and your creation will automatically be added to our server.
The Weekly Competition (run by [-Fly-]JR)
1st place = 50
2nd place = 40
3rd place = 30
Taking part = 10 (1st, 2nd & 3rd not counted) Submit a video of your replay = 5 As you can see, you don't have to be the best to get Kudos. Just taking part in the competition each week and submitting a replay will earn you 15
In the top 3 - 3 weeks in a row - 100
Again as it says on the tin. Ranking in the top 3 of the weekly competition 3 times in a row will rack up some nice Kudos.
Submit a track - 5 (Limited to 1 track per month per member)
If you submit a track to [-Fly-]JR via a pm and he uses it in the weekly comp then you will recieve this award. The track you submit must be on TMX, this will also encourage more Kudos for getting it awarded. Submit as many tracks as you like but you can only receive this award once per month.
