Another Novint Falcon Giveaway!

Going through a game without getting friendly fire is difficult as you can't predict what people are going to do and yeah, this competiton is tricky, Really want to win though so I worked mine out
 
I'm really impressed by the number of entries, if not the quality!

So, the results!

Total number of zombies killed - 2331

Number of Friendly Fire incidents I had - 18 (yes, it's shameful)

Accuracy percentage - 35%

2331 x 18 = 41958

35% of 41958 = 14685.3

So, that makes Snowknight26 the winner. Interestingly, he was the one that seemed to apply the most logic to working it out and got the closest by a huge margin!
Anyway, congratulations SnowKnight26!

Here's the evidence if anyone is interested:

and remember, you can still buy a Falcon with a 20% discount by using the Halflife2.net referral code (HL2NET) on Novint's site.

Thanks for taking part, guys.

Congrats to the winner.

I'm not sure you are right in thinking that others didn't apply the most logic though. I came close to the correct common infected killed, it is just that I didn't account for such a high number of friendly fire incidents! :) I have to say, my accuracy is never greater than about 8% so congrats with such a huge percentage (35%). However, I only have, at most a 4 or 5 of FF per game hence my guess was way out.

Cheers, and thanks for the two great competitions. Now to buy one of these......
 
Well, we were hoping for a bit of site loyalty...
 
This was fun. Im not sarcastic, I really liked this.

Oops. Understood.


I just read Snow's working, and I have to say he came very close, although oddly his common infected killed was way out.

He used quite a high accuracy, very close to yours. Perhaps I'm a bit gung-ho resulting in my pathetic 8-10% accuracy.... Or perhaps its because I always use a shotgun and never rifles or pistols :)

EDIT: Just bought using the HL2NET code. Apparently it'll ship in a couple of days. Looks like I've got the Orange box and Penumbra Overture with it. The Orange box set I already have, but I suppose it is handy. I bought Penumbra Black Plague(?) from Steam. Anyone know if this version will work with the Falcon, or do I have to purchase the Novint version.

Cheers
 
Good job Snow =D It turned out I was about....10,000 away from the actual score 0_0 Hope there'll be another like this in the future ^_^
 
So random guesses dont work ay? time for a rethink in my strategy..
 
Wow Pi, you have quite the number of friendly fire incidents there :LOL:

(He probably got the high accuracy from shooting all his teammates)

I tried to work it out using my stats but mine were far, far different from yours :(

'Grats, Snowknight
 
hey all this is tomnovint, Novint's CEO. I spend a lot of time on boards in general answering questions. If anyone has any questions on the Falcon, you can post them here and I'll answer ;)

thx, tomnovint
 
lol. I have 10,000 of them, so don't need any more myself. We will be doing some more community events though, and we'll be getting more involved with halflife2.net in general. thx, tomnovint

I'm still surprised at your ridiculous number of kills - time to get my average kill count up a bit higher. :rolling:

Thank you for the kind words everyone. ^^

Yeah, I had a question.
Why is the black Novint Falcon more expensive than the white one?

Heh, I was about to start up a game and see just how much I could get and guess.

Do you have any plans on getting a UK distributor?
 
I'd be interested in knowing about new packages with the Falcon. Currently they come bundled with many games, but many gamers (and members here) own Valve games. Are there packages available or in the works with no extras & just the falcon itself?
 
Congratulations Snowknight. Welcome to the Falcon Family! Let me know anything I can do to make your Falcon experience a good one.
thx, tomnovint

We have fewer Black Falcons than white ones. I think a lot of people don't care too much which they get, but all else equal pick a black one. That will make us run out of black inventory quicker, so the people who really want a black one won't be able to get one. By making them slightly different in price, people who don't feel strongly one way or the other will get a white one, and more people who really want a black one will be able to get one. Both black and white are greatly discounted too.

thx, tomnovint

We are talking to UK distributors, but no specific plans or timing yet. Might be a while - we'll see. Also, probably won't be any cheaper than the deal we have now. We save a little in shipping in bulk, but there is still the shipping costs. Also, there are many other people in the distribution chain that get money, so the end price will likely be higher or about the same.

Until we do get international distributors, we just opened up international shipping, so you can buy one off our site. With the Halflife2.net discount code, you can get a Falcon for as low as $139 right now. We just today decided to reduce international shipping to about $65 on average = $204 total. $204 = 125 pounds

so really, you can buy a Falcon in the UK right now for 125 pounds with free shipping ;) That's a pretty good deal

This deal is only up for 2 weeks longer, and is one of the best deals (maybe the best) we'll do for the rest of the year.

thx, tomnovint
 
£125 right until customs sting me 49% :( (VAT + handling charge)

Hey Hectic Glenn. If you want to buy our current bundle deal with no games, and an additional $10/off, I can arrange that for you.

https://home.novint.com/store/promote2.php

The current deal is as low as $139, which is a really great deal.

If you're interested in it, please email customersupport [at] novint [dot] com and ask them to forward on to me, referencing this post.

thx, tomnovint

True, good point - there is VAT too. I'm not sure the exact amount - I don't think it's quite as high as 49%, but maybe I'm wrong? International distributors will pay that too, so that cost is just innate in the situation unfortunately. thx, tomnovint
 
Thanks, I thought it was just simple racism!

I still think it is. You're horrible people.
Pi thinks so too.
