==============================================

==============================================

This map was built for a SPECIAL COMPETITION around
a very special kind of driving, or however it's called what we are
doing here.

More or less accidently, I was driving a map, hitted
the brakes and drove this map completely with „BRAKES ON“
into the finish. Sounds weird but it was totally funny.
A wish was born to drive another map like this way.
Well, I had more and more fun driving different maps.
This is the map I'm talking about:
Sorry, aircoco that I've "abused" your awesome track.


So, I've decided to built a map with the focus on this drivingstyle.
Because I had and have so much fun, I've thought about a name for
it. Well, not that easy but after all there are 2 major points.
Point 1 - virtually, „you lose“ lots of rubber from your tires.
Point 2 - if you are driving very slowly around tricky corners, your
cars end is wiggeling like a duck's tale.

BAM^^ Rubber+duck= [Rubberduck]. Hehe
So in the future I will use this tag for this special maps.
Maybe you are interested to build maps especially made
to „rubberize“ them … Have fun^^
It would be a REAL pleasure for me, to see some
other maps with the tarblack [RuBBERDuCK] tag.

At least, you can drive the map the usual way and upload your
runs. No problem if you are hot for some ladderpoints.

With this idea in my mind and in addition with my
first [RuBBERDuCK] map, I wanna start a little competition
to introduce this stuff,
Sadly, there is no way to make the „brakes on“ by some
settings, so let me do it this way:

=1.
Download the map and find out if you have some fun.
=2.
Save your replay but DON'T !!! upload it here at this point,
except you wanna show it to other players !!!
=3.
Think about your time. If you think it's your personal best,
send me 50 planets via ManiaPlanet ingame message.
Only 1 replay is allowed to send until the status of the competition
is set =CLOSED=. So please don't be too hastily.
Send me your replay via e-mail. I will give it to you with my
ingame reply.
My login: dpm_daslow
=4.
After this and if the replay is approved by me, I will name you
right here in the mapdetails, including the amount of your sent
planets but WITHOUT your time.
Maybe you wanna donate the winners too ?!
In the case your replay is NOT valid – you lose your 50 planets to
the winner of this competition.
=5.
After the deadline is reached, please gimme one or two days,
I'll do the calculations and submit the winners right here.
If the Competition status is =CLOSED= you can upload your
replay to the MX page.

Okay, no competition without any rules.
Well, I wanna keep it easy.

HIT AND STAY on your brakes right from the start until
you've reached the finishline. That means while you are in the air too^^
To do this, hit your brakes BEFORE the countdown reaches
the GO signal.
If your brakes light up later - your replay IS NOT VALID !!

That's it and that's all. Easy eh ?!
btw. The replaycam is mostly focused on the wheels or the
brakelights. So EVERONE can check your run about the brakes.


Before you ask:
If there are any gaps or drops inside the map – DON'T release
your brakes while in the air or falling. If you release the brakes -
the run IS NOT VALID !!

If this „braking ping“ sound is heard while driving, or the
„black rubber stripes are interrupted - the run IS NOT VALID !!
On some blocks, like boosters, the stripes are interrupted.
Thats known.

If you crash, you probably restart your run. If not –
DON'T release the brakes while flying around, getting your car
back in the line or whatever.
If you release the brakes - the run IS NOT VALID !!


Many point's but simply remember the easy rule on top:
HIT AND STAY on your brakes right from the start until
you've reached the finishline.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Okay, the beginning takes a few more words but I think everything
should be explained clearly.

Let's add the facts:

COMPETITIONSTATUS: CLOSED
DEADLINE: 24th of december.23:59.59 (CET)

To make it a little bit more weird, the pricing is weird too

1000 2200 planets + all the stacks and donations from all the players. (including your own)
2000 3200 planets
2500 3700 planets

Okay, I'm done so far.
It would be nice if you would talk about it to your buddies.


Any questions ? Let's talk about it right here, with PM's or inside
the MX forum:

And now ..... finally ... OMG I did so much text here

Let me showcase a few maps which are absolutely worth to hunt.

A crazy but amazing track by one of my fav authors:


A map from a very special buddy

... and in addition, a VERY nice video by him.
Got also something to do with a lot usage of the brakes
Gymkhana clip

A valley map... WHAT ?! Yeah ... I did a valley map again


A map which is so f***ing cool. Had lots of fun there


There is some space left ......
(Well, not really but who cares )
Awaiting a "sick" s i c and an awesome neko
style map ....

Kinda useless to add it at this late point and my map is not longer
listed as MX-Supporter but it's nevertheless deserved





@ fred
Thanks a lot my friend 4 this very fast award. You have so much time
left getting in shape to rubberize this track.
I'm curious about your replay if the Competition ends
Happy "rubberducking"

@ lolig
Thank you very much for your award.
Yes, I must confess it's idd not easy for the first attempts but its pretty
equal if you play the canyon envi all the time and then switching to the
valley envi. The valley car is imho much more nervous to handle.
Don't rush it, my musicchoice should help to stay relaxed

@ Kim
Hehehe, very nice award Kim .. and thanks a lot^^
Your fun - thats why I'm here ....
"Let meeeeee_eeeeee entertain you" sing LOL
This track is not hard ... it's erm ... different ... but I definately know you can
handle it. Thanks man

@ poivrot
... and some awesome ppl around who know what they're talking about^^
Thanks a lot for your award buddy. I really appreciate it.

@ Ropesbart
Tooo much honour but nevertheless it's really welcome my friend.
I really love it if you like my MT stuff but it would be interesting to know
how the music fits your taste. I mean - it's probably not your style but
I think the beat and sound is matching ALL prefered musicstyles.
Not ?! Hehe
Herbert - 1000 Dank für den Pott^^

@ RR
A crazy idea from a crazy man for some crazy ppl ?!
Is it that what you wana say ?!
Thank whomever, we are ALL crazy enough to spend our time with
this awesome sh*t and have so much fun with it.
Thanks a lot m8 for your awsome award. I hope you will become a participant too ?!
It would make me really happy.

@ airneko
Quack, quack ... as it seems the duck was not loud enough with it's calling.
Thank you very much for this pretty award and sorry for all my typing
while you were hunting it.
Maybe it's the reason you failed so lousy to beat my AT
No no no ... just kidding, I know driving is so different and you've
learned it quite fast.
Your tiny criticism is matching my own opinion I got from my own map.
After all and like anything else too, it's only a matter of practice.
So you really did a nice time.
Thanks again 4 both, replay and award. It counts really a lot for me.
