First a short briefing for those who (against all odds) haven't taken any notice of this great event:
The recent discussion about tracks brought up at TMX, the TMX-blog, the Tmaniacs-blog and various forums inspired me to call the community for a treasure hunt into the wastelands of TMX. Players claim little alternation in trackstyles on servers while there are a lot of excellent, but underrated tracks and fresh but unknown authors at TMX. I took myself to the test and picked 20 unawarded old tracks from TMX. After less than two hours I was not surprised to find 3 tracks that would do well on a server. Conclusion: There have to be a lot of excellent tracks lost in the wastelands of TMX - you only have to go out and find them.
But it would be a liftetime job for single person - and so the idea for the treasure hunt was born. By selecting tracks from a single environment sorted by awards descending and oldest first, i got lists of unawarded tracks and declared a single page with 20 tracks as a claim to be scanned by a contender.
With the spring issue of X-cReATED, the german TM-Fanzine produced by my clan X-Rated, the event was launched. 40 contenders volunteered to search 258 claims (more than 5.000 tracks!). Most wanted environment was stadium (60 claims), 30-40 claims were requested for each other environment. Contenders were given a month to scan their claims and nominate one "nugget" per claim. 12 contenders got lost in the wilderness and were never heard of again, most of them in stadium claims. But 28 made it back with rich booty: 180 nuggets!
Feel free to draw your own conclusions, but i was surprised by the low survival quota in stadium. Some contenders got lost or chose two nuggets from another claim (which was allowed). Wether it is a high portion of bad tracks in stadium or the fact that TMO-Players are reliable veterans, the highest survival quotas appear in the original environments, with the best TMS-Environment (Coast) on same level with the worst TMO-Environment (Rally).
For being rated by the community, the 180 nuggets where hosted on the TM-Creative-Server for 36 days. 1.800 Trackmaniacs stopped by and placed over 5.000 votes. The bad trend for Stadium continued: Wthin the 50 best rated tracks, there are only 2 Staium. Bay and Snow were everybods darling with half of the 50 best rated tracks, all over were quite at the same level with island carrying the red lantern. But things change radically when we take a look at the top ten: this is Desert and (surprisingly) Rally playground (each envi 3 tracks among the top ten). Next up is Bay with 2 tracks.
Let's have a look at the players then: Who joined and how long? A Player had to join about 15 hours in a row to see all tracks. Most visitors joined only for less than an half hour, only 250 for more than an hour, 67 for more than 4 hours. Only 20 hardcore players stayed for more than 10 hours with calimturon (33 hours) at the pole position, followed by tstargermany (TMC-crew), madjay, dutchman, wildmagic, syko (contender), marci (contender), jean_speed, shorty_88 (contender), hdsgd, tmjonas (contender), pyrowoelfin, drace (contender), viktorgoc, schandmaul, xars, madderikk, anthrax, khorne84 (contender), maruis89 (contender), slydog (contender), accerleracer_01 (contender), kastun (contender) and ohei2 (TMX-Crew).
But racing the tracks wasn't the issue on this server, player should vote for or against the tracks. Too bad that not all players got this message: On the average, every player placed only 2-3 votes. Most aktive judges were syko und madjay with 132 votes each, folowed colesy by wildmagic (131), marci (116) und dutchman (107). Calmituron, khorne84, schandmaul, drace, marci and tmjonas each voted about 70 times.
Now it's time to thank those, who made the treasure hunt possible and such a big success:
- the contenders, who scanned about 4.000 tracks at TMX
- Schandmaul for organizing the distribution of the claims and communication with the contenders
- TStarGermany and UBP-Sundaydriver from TM-Creative for lending their server
- Tmaniacs german TM-Blog for announcing the treasure hunt
- Twoeagles for putting treasure hunt as "Global News Story" on the frontpage of TMU
- Insane, ohei2 und Jozii from TMX for putting the treasure hunt on the TMX-frontpage and into the TMX-BLog
- and finally to 1.800 (!) trackmaniacs for joining the server and placing 5.000 votes
Anything left to say? Oh, of course: the results and the tracklist!

I am sure all of can remember the discussion about tracks two months ago. This brought me to the idea of the "Treasure hunt". You all know there are thousands of tracks at TMX, most of them did not get the attention they deserve - but there have to be some gems among them. So my clan X-Rated and the guys from TM-Creative helped me to organize this contest.
28 contestants were sent out into the wastelands of tmx to scan almost 4.000 tracks - all of them without any awards. And 180 tracks made their way on a public server, ready for your judgement.
From now until the end of may, the guys from TM-creative host a server named "treasure hunt [TMC]", where can race these tracks. By the Karma votes you give, the winners will be chosen.
So join the server "treasure hunt [TMC]", have fun on excellent yet unknown tracks and vote!
To all server admins/mods, a recent thread has been posted on the TM-Forum concerning Dedimania additions and changes. It is important for server owners to browse through this briefly as it is vital for successfully managing records and keeping up-to-date features within one's server(s).

Results for 2008 'FilePlanet Game Contest' have revealed Trackmania Nations as the best in its class; smashing its way to the top as the world's greatest free game available! Topping Combat Arms and Atlantica Online, and pulling off a hands-down victory for Nadéo.
Hopefully, this will lead to greater achievements in the future as more and more gamers are taking on the Trackmania challenge. We hope to see great things to come; and TMNF may very well be the biggest hit for '09!
Some sad news: Games-Services SA,
the company, who operated the ESWC tournaments and leagues is broke.
On their website http://www.games-services.com/ you can read that a paris comercial court has ordered the liquidation of the company.The main reason for the bankruptcy might be the retreat of ESWC's main sponsor NVidia.
