2nd November 2010, 02:45 PM
Ace3cube asked me today if England would like to arrange a meeting between us and France, of course we can't turn down a challenge. He wants revenge, but are we going to let him have it? ;)

He has asked if the 19th/20th is ok (this hasn't been finalized yet), I'm sure we can find a few pilots by then. Maybe a few of the new England team members would like to take part.

Just post if you are interested

If you need extra help, I'll fly for the Lions. But if another three pilots turn up wanting a race, I've no worries standing down and letting you lot have your way with the Roosters.

I'll be happy to take part, it should give me some practice for the HD Cup!

I won't claim a spot just for myself as I'm sure there might be other people interested.

2nd November 2010, 04:44 PM
That day may just of arrived mate, it would of been good to have our brothers against theirs ;). I thought Haydn had a friend who played HD, what was his name?

If it's going to be two lots of 12 races with maybe the odd endurance thrown in, we can all have a go. We just need to swap at half time :+

2nd November 2010, 05:49 PM

Shame, brothers on both teams would be badass.

Mr Phlanj

Is everyone still up for it and does anyone else want in. What's the best day for everyone, the Friday or Saturday?

Challenger #001
4th November 2010, 08:58 PM
I know how everyone hates the phrase 'I don't mind' no matter how true it is, so I'm going to go out on a limb here and say Friday.

Dark_Phantom_89
4th November 2010, 09:03 PM
Friday as in ths Friday as in 5th November?

I've got a day off so it should be good for me if you want me to take part.

KGB
4th November 2010, 09:58 PM
You have to take part DP :+ but the Friday the 19th or Saturday the 20th was what I meant

Dark_Phantom_89
4th November 2010, 10:04 PM
In that case, count me in KGB. :)

The 19th/20th should be good for me as well, but I'd prefer the Saturday if it's possible. If not then I can still do the Friday. :+

It could be all yours again, just say the word Haydn.

Teeth are all mine but hips are getting replaced next week :)

If I'm needed, I can now get involved in ENG matches once more ;):+

OBH NEEDS to be involved in this! :+

OBH
7th November 2010, 12:29 AM
He also NEEDS to get the rust off :)
Beat SaturnReturn in my 2nd race though, its a start!!

KGB
7th November 2010, 06:00 PM
Just buy a new one for gods sake man you can do without food for a couple of months! I take it you are out again from reading the other thread :brickwall. A real pity, it would of been great for you to get back on tracks.

Nutcase:259
7th November 2010, 09:25 PM
Think now ill only be able todo friday, not sure though maybe both, depends on what times it will be happening roughly,

still im really up for it regardless of my somewhat tempremental ability :g

Oh, Osama is back ? That's great new \o/

Dark_Phantom_89
8th November 2010, 04:34 PM
Any idea which French pilots are taking part?

KGB
8th November 2010, 06:00 PM
Got to say Friday is best for me now as I won't be in on Saturday. Doesn't matter if it's Saturday though, we have plenty of players I think. Don't know whose playing for the French, I'm not even sure what the race format is. Perhaps Ace3cube can tell us what he has in mind.

Ace3cube
13th November 2010, 07:03 AM
Friday or Saturday > when you want :)
Program : we can do a classic meeting 2x12races & 2x1 enduro ? I think it's enough but if we want, we can do something more bigger. 2x10races (7laps each) & 2x3races (15laps) I dont know ^_^. It depends when we start lol and 'courage, duty, honor' :P lol

For our side, pilots could be : Ace3/Fyue3/hacenet/GSuper/kanar/.../...

Mr Phlanj
13th November 2010, 07:28 AM
wow i haddnt looked at this thread since i posted but i never thought you would actually put me in the team :D.

19th is good for me too because i also have that night off.

KGB
13th November 2010, 06:22 PM
Ok, then it's agreed Friday night :+.

I think we should just stick to the 2 lots of 12 and maybe the enduro races as well. The list so far is

Nutcase
kgb
DP
Challenger
Amorbis
Mr Phlanj.

Everyone definitely in?

Woopzilla
13th November 2010, 06:46 PM
Seems like there's plenty of newer players who deserve to race their first match... So I'll leave it to you guys. ;)

In the unlikely event that you do end up running short of players I'll probably be about on the forums or on PSN.

OBH
15th November 2010, 05:39 PM
I have much confidence in our boys :) Good team.

KGB
17th November 2010, 10:49 AM
So who's definitely available this Friday evening, I might not make it myself as I'm going out and might not be back in time :(.

Dark_Phantom_89
17th November 2010, 12:33 PM
I can take part this Friday as I'll be free for the whole day. If you can't make it KGB, maybe we could see if Mr. W Zilla wants to get involved?

Challenger #001
17th November 2010, 01:19 PM
I'll be there :3

KGB
17th November 2010, 03:17 PM
Good idea DP, sorry for kind of being doubtful about it. Ace needs to tell us a time as well.

Ace3cube
17th November 2010, 05:37 PM
Well, we can (as usual) see for 9PM ?

KGB
17th November 2010, 07:13 PM
Well I'll let the new England captain reply to that one ;). Who could it be???

Dark_Phantom_89
17th November 2010, 07:44 PM
KGB has very kindly decided to hand ownership of Team England over to me. Thanks again mate, it was a lovely surprise reading your PM. :)

Ace - Is that 9pm English time or French time?

Challenger #001
17th November 2010, 08:47 PM
Is a mandatory verse of GSTQ required over Mumble before the event starts? :D

A good choice :)
Cant have a leader with dodgy hips now can we :beer

Ace3cube
18th November 2010, 04:23 PM
9PM for you
Means 10PM GMT+1 ;)

Nutcase:259
18th November 2010, 08:50 PM
Sweet ill be around 9:30 hopefully.

oh btw as were a team do we all use the same ship?

Woopzilla
18th November 2010, 08:56 PM
No, the only thing different from normal races is that we don't fire at teammates... there have been some friendly fire incidents and eliminations before but they're usually kept to a minimum if everyone keeps the ID indicators on in the options. :g

Amorbis
18th November 2010, 09:56 PM
I should be on around 9-10 GMT if you need me. If I'm playing a game you can give me a message and I'll be with you shortly hopefully.

KGB
19th November 2010, 03:34 PM
Good luck tonight lads :beer

19th November 2010, 06:29 PM
Yeah! rolled up at 4ish to get some training done. won 2 races :D im hoping thats cause i was faster and not because everyone wasn't trying... :lol

Total (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Olurum/tournamet01result.jpg)

Enduro: 1 (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v290/Olurum/enduro01.jpg)

I have no idea how to choose the points for the ones with 4vs3. Do you add +1 point to the french result if the top 4 are ENG for example? Because if the top 4 are ENG, then the french players get robbed of one point.

KGB
19th November 2010, 10:50 PM
What have I missed, did Ace3 get disconnected?

Challenger #001
19th November 2010, 11:17 PM
He wilfully disconnected after Modesto Heights, saying that there was too much collision for him.

The servers were really messed up earlier tonight. It got better, but around the time you guys were battling it out, it was terrible. Lots of people freezing and ships flashing around all over the place. Crazy stuff.

:cold:brickwall:blarg:sonar:- that's me last night. Would like to apologies to my team, I was completely useless. I won't hide behind server/lag issues, sure that wasn't a perfect online environment (saw hacenetchik piloting a broken black assegai during the entire 1st tourney lol), but I was definitely hopeless. So once again, apologies to my great teamates hacene, ace3 & GS. And massive congrats to team England, well earned victory.

lack of practice + beer + gt5 + deadly English pilots = kanar_is_done

For what it's worth, I fully enjoyed my matches, even the Modesto Reverse traffic jam. ^^ Hace, G-S and kanar, you all played excellently. I just wish my French had been better. D:

20th November 2010, 11:33 AM
although i was last in most races i still thought it was good fun. and i almost won a race (almost... :lol) thought i had metropia reverse in the bag for the win, but then out of nowhere DP89 does the speed boost trick over those little bridge things to take the lead. not so gutting when were on the same team though ;)

good races. :clap :g the team thing is really cool. in first endurance race Amphi Rev and you know there are team mates who've got your back. thats awsome
