[Flamin Skull]

Sorry it took me so long to post my number, here it is, Ill add everyone now

4468-1607-5362

[Trapster]

No problem, Skull. We decided to wait with it for a bit. In case we'd get more interested people. Someone said he wanted to join when we already had 12 peoople but I don't remember who.

[kelvingreen]

I'd be happy to move aside if we have more than twelve. I'm not sure I have the time anyway.

[RetroNL]

Question to everyone: What are your favorite Char/Vehicle combinations ?
I prefer Baby Mario with the Bullet Bike.

We'd just need to get another interested participant then.

As for my favorite Char/Vehicle combo, it's Rosalina on the Twinkle Star or whatever the name was.

[MasterGH]

I use Funky Kong on the Bowser Bike with my classic controller. I like his boosts and how drifting works with the bike.

[Kreegs]

I use baby peach with the standard kart with a GC controller.

[Flamin Skull]

For races, I like to use my Mii (Heavy) with the regular kart, or Mario's Indy car.

I like to use my Mii (Heavy) with the yellow car with blue flames that looks like a 69 Camaro for Time Trials

[Slayerking45]

i use Luigi wit the blooper kart and i use a GC controller

[RetroNL]

It suprises me how many people play with GC controls, I play with Wii- Mote and am getting used to it.

[RetroNL]

I was playing time trials last day and came in places such as Warios Goldmine. There I used exactly the same vehicle (a motorcycle) as the beginning ghost (not the advanced one) also used Wario. I have a question about this. .:
If the ghost drifts he does it very sharp and short and boosts, when I do this with this bike I loose much control out of the bike and the boost comes very late (I am used to sportsbikes with fast drifting) How do I get this old Harly looking thing in a short drift ?
If someone can give me some good info about this I would be very thankfully for that ! !

If I'm not mistaken Wario gives a bonus to drifting making them give boosts faster.

Check gamefaqs for these bonus stats. Every character has them. They don't all have the same, obviously.

I now have internet at my apartment and am ready to play!

Have fun.

[Trapster]

Alright, I've seen a mail to shoemaker asking if it's fine to start the league on Sunday. Is that fine with most participants?

Also, I want the rest of the friendcodes posted in here so I can add them to the first post. It's LinkFanatic, PoisonRamune and Fierce_Deity835.

I also need the in-game name from said participants + Jogurt.

[Kreegs]

I would be fine for late sunday

[MasterGH]

Yeah, Sunday your time would be fine for me. I've got two weeks of school holidays starting after the 18th (Friday), so I'll be able to play at most times during those.

[Trapster]

How does 22:00 GMT sound? 22 converts to 10:00pm GMT. Reply to this thread ASAP as I need the info.

[MasterGH]

That is 8AM on Monday for me, so since I'll have holidays that will be just about perfect! I'll work on adding everyone today.

[Trapster]

Woah. You sure you'll be up at that time? (am?

[MasterGH]

Yep! When I'm feeling 'lazy' I get up some time between 7:30 and 8 Most of the time it is between 6:30 and 7.

Jesus Christ. At what time do you go the bed then?

[MasterGH]

Well, I've been going to bed a lot later than usual lately due to a recent writing position I took up, so recently around 10:30-11PM.

[neuzd]

I'm lending Trapster some little help organizing the championship.
To let you all be sure not to miss the league appointments, I set up this page, with details about the scheduled races and date/time of the meeting.

http://www.neuzd.org/games/sync.php

It will be updated after each meeting, so even if it came up a bit late for the first set of race (which is in about 35 hours from now), be sure to check it anytime you feel like, in the future, to be sure when the next trophy will be.

The "local" times displayed in the page are obviously those of your own timezone, daylight saving included. So it should always be correct unless your computer system clock is set up wrong.
GMT data is there so that if you don't trust my script you can always find the correct time by yourselves.

Happy racing.

[MasterGH]

Okay, I've added everyone now. Looking forward to racing tomorrow

[Trapster]

Just wanted to say that I've linked to the sync page in the first post aswell so you guys don't miss it when adding others.

The first should always earn 15 points. This is very important for long running championships as the one you're planning.

Hm, how should I do with the scores since we only had 4 players for the first race? I do have a pic of the final standings on my camera.

Edit: Btw, you guys NEED to be better checking the sync page and joining. For some reason it screwed up when the race was supposed to start. Well, after.

[neuzd]

First race? Do you mean First Trophy?
Who won the trophy gets 15 points, 12 the second and so on, based on the points MKW gives for a full grid.

Have a look here for an example. These are the results for the first round of the Black Shell Trophy.

1 psxbackupuk +15 15
2 KnucklesSonic8 +12 12
3 Tull +10 10
4 Trapster +8 8
5 neuzd +7 7
6 Kevin +6 6
7 Jogurt the Yogurt +5 5
np Mendez +0 0
np Flamin Skull +0 0


See? We were in 7. No difference from your actual situation.

And for the SYNC page getting screwed, why is that a surprise?
There's a countdown and when it reach ZERO it goes negative.
That page is supposed to be checked BEFORE the race, to be sure when it starts. I don't care if someone says "The race starts in 3, 2 ,1...hey why is it still counting?", instead of ACTUALLY RACING!

[EDIT]
Oh, and I'm assuming the appointments are weekly, so I'm updating the page now for the next race, next sunday, same hour.

[Kreegs]

Sorry I missed it guys. I was super sick all weekend. Next time!

Hey hey, I was in no way criticizing you. No offense.

And uh...the appointments were supposed to be eachother weekend but weekly isn't really a problem for me. As long as the other participants are fine with it. Well, what do you say, guys?

Also, where'd be the best to put the ranking list?

The tone of my sentences was only meant to sound direct, sorry if I gave the impression of overly defending my position.
It was just a "I know, it's the way it works" : )

I'll be following the thread to see if I have to switch the date, 'right?

Yeah, I'll just check the with others to see if weekly is fine with them.

[Flamin Skull]

sundays are good for me, but there's a slight chance I won't have any internet at my house this weekend, I'm not sure when the cable/internet guy is coming to our new house (moving in on Thursday) I will see what happens, I could use my mother's house. (house sitting for her while shes off to Disney World)

[Ausden]

Sorry I missed it guys, I had to move in with my in-laws, and I have to share the internet with the father-in-law. He needed it last night. I'll be up and ready to burn some rubber next weekend though.

[MasterGH]

Next Sunday should be okay for me. After next week, though, I won't be able to do it on that day, as it happens on Monday mornings for me (and I'll have school to do). The same time on Saturdays or Fridays would work fine, though.

[Trapster]

Hmm. How would it work for the rest of you if I changed the day then?

[Ausden]

How about Saturday's? Those are always pretty good for people.

Just a thought...

[Trapster]

Yeah, but I'll need opinions from more people.

Also, I urge you all to check the sync page at least once a day for possible updates. Posting/reading in this thread can help to.
