September 17, 2012 Luxtoberfest is the yearly festival celebrating the world domination computer game Lux Delux. 2012 is promising another action-packed festival. October will be filled with multi-player tournaments, forum games, and the yearly Lux Awards. You can find the full schedule of tournaments and forum games in the Luxtoberfest 9 forum: http://sillysoft.net/forums/viewforum.php?f=16 Luxtober will also include the official launch of the RAW 2.0 rankings system on Saturday, September 29th. The improved formula has been developed by stats junkie paranoiarodeo and factors in a wider set of variables, including average game times for various maps and settings, how many kills you make, and how well you play all week long (not just on Sunday). Also, bot games will be scored differently, and the finish line for medals will be moved on a regular basis, so players across the globe will have more opportunities to compete. Come throw your Lux hat into the ring this October and see how high you rank in the new system! Hope to see you online during the festivities this October.
