Subject: Should I submit this to Achievement Hunter?

For The Lulz is a worthier cause than For The Win.

From the skies to the ground, I'm the one that'll reign destruction down on you from behind the wheel and the flight stick. Keep your eyes on the rear view mirror, or you may be eating exhaust aside the road, riddled with holes.

My sniper is hungry for souls.

If at first you fail, fail again so that you succeed by wrapping your fail around the continuum into the win zone.

Do you think Lightspeed Factory is worthy of Achievement HORSE?

For those of you who don't know what it is, this is Lightspeed Factory.

I wondered whether to submit it to Jack and Geoff a few months ago, but things happened and I forgot about it. But I feel like I have to submit this, particularly after remembering their commentary on a lightspeed fail in Fails of the Weak.

"Watch, someone's gonna figure out how to do this, and we're gonna get to do it in HORSE."

Well, it was something along those lines, anyway.

In any event, I figured out how to do it, so should I submit it?

Also, what do you think should be the objective? Go lightspeed three times? Go lightspeed three times and die? Something else?

Who are you? stop look at me.

Yes, indeed.

Definatley submit it.
Maybe the objective could be landing in something or hitting a floating mine.

Mmm...that would be pushing it. The problem with having an objective like that is that the lightspeed glitch is completely random. You can go lightspeed a million different ways at a million different angles and end up in a million different locations. Asking them to hit a floating mine or go through a ring or something would be the proverbial needle in a haystack.

Hence why I think maybe I should go with the simple objective of going lightspeed three times. Jack and Geoff will have to do it alone, so they won't have a room full of people clustering around their tanks. The more people there are in one spot, the more likely it is that they will go lightspeed. Since there's only two of them, going lightspeed at all could be a challenge in itself. I manage to go lightspeed by myself all the time on this map, but that's because I know the map, and I know which spots and angles work best. They don't know it. Some people that play my map don't end up going lightspeed at all. I find that to be an oddball problem, because almost everyone I ever play with is dying every thirty seconds on this map. But Jack and Geoff, as we all know, are kind of oddballs themselves when it comes to playing maps. They fail miserably at things that are actually really easy. So I don't want them raging at the map because they can't lightspeed into a mine or something, y'know?

How hard is it to go into lightspeed?

It's not hard. Just random. Some people manage to do it on their first try, within five seconds. Others have to go down the runway fifteen times before it happens. There's more luck involved than anything.

Oh, another question, do you think that the YouTube video will suffice for the video showing them how to play the map, or should I make a video specifically for Jack and Geoff? (They ask for a video showing how to accomplish the objective.)

I'd make a new one but if you dont have time, then the other one is fine.

Not your average noob

Yes,it looks like a ton of fun

Actually, it looks like they ask for a clip on Bungie.net. So that answers the question, lol.

And, hurr durr, I'm a moron. I know what the objective should be. Go lightspeed once in all four areas of the map. First one to do so wins the round.
