Battlefield -- Winner of the IDCC 2008

I can assume that little to none of the community here knows of Rollercoaster Tycoon Three, the 3D rollercoaster simulator. Well for those of you that do, I'm sure you know of the fireworks program included with the game, the MixMaster. Through this ingenious program, avid players like I create spectacular pyro shows for one reason: pure enjoyment. It's much the same as...say...oh I don't know. Whatever it is you do to keep yourself entertained [for lack of a better phrase].

Anyway, an incredible amount of effort goes into each show made. The fireworks that come with the game are crap - if you decide to start playing, don't ever use the default pyro. When the game came out, some players thought about how shitty the fireworks were and thus began making their own in the AFE [Advanced Fireworks Editor -- extremely difficult to use]. Soon after, RCTPyro was born, which later became VirtualPyro [vPyro for short].

At vPyro is a 14-page downloads section devoted to custom-made RCT3 fireworks, some of which are made by the best RCT3 Pyro company around -- Ilyxr Dynamics.

They've single handedly captivated the world with their stunning shows and outstanding fireworks, most of which are exclusive to the company itself.

This past September, they released a contest to the vPyro community known as the "Ilyxr Dynamics Community Competition." 13 members entered, 2 were left at the end of October: a member named Vanderites [outstanding with RCT3 pyro] and I. In the end, I won the contest by 2 votes, and that show was titled "Battlefield," which to this day is regarded as one of the best out there. I don't know why...the more I watch it the more I hate it. But hey, it won me 2 of Ilyxr's unreleased fireworks packs.

Shortly after completing Battlefield, I co-founded a fireworks company with a friend of mine, and we became known as "Fyre Teknix." We've recruited DreadLord82, our Pyro Major, Conrail92, our Custom Scenery Major, and most recently DracoStraybyrn [Matt Enloe] as our Graphics Major. I am Show Constructor and MadPyroMan is the Head Honcho of FyreTeknix.

So now, without further ado, I introduce that show: Battlefield ~
