North American Team Reborn and recruiting!

[Kyonshi]

Im glad to announce Nawty is still alive!

I've got the approval from Vartazian to take over the team. I'm waiting for TCK approval as well, but he didnt answer my request yet. However, he's aware im spreading the word that Nawty is recruiting new members for the WWC finals. As time is going on, i think we must do something about that.

So the call is sent!

I already have few names on the wish list. Here it goes.

-ID Reaper (on the recommandation of Vart)
-Boo4ever
-Coatlketzal
-REDALRT

RedScar and DividedXZero, i know you guys haven't been racing for quite a long time, but i still offer you a spot, cuz i know you're both great pilots.

To all other pilots interested in being part of the team, you may be aware we have high standards for winning a place in the roster. We don't want to show any kind of unreasonable discrimination, but you have to offer the best out of yourselves. So we're seeking experienced and even veteran pilots. The gap left by Vartazian and TCK is ****ing wide! We had 2 of the best pilots ever in WOHD (check the leaderboards to have an idea). That's mostly why we have a clean record in the WWC events. Those 2 guys will humbly say its a team effort and actually its true. But the facts remain, and to reach the expertise they had is crucial, but not impossible!

I also want to apologize in advance to the other teams for the time it will take to build up a steady and consistent team again. I'll do my best to put up things to work. Vartazian himself will also give his input to the team, as well as updating the NA team record. Sorry for all the inconvenience and thank you all for your patience.

Lets give ourselves a whole week until to get some people. Now, may the best pilots manifest themselves!

[AG-wolf]

i havent been playing online for months, but I recall "chaos80" being very good... is he in NA?

[Kyonshi]

Chaos80 is Swedish my friend! But yeah, he's very strong nonetheless!

[Koleax]

I'll give it a shot. When do I try out?

[RedScar]

I am alive, just beginning my finals run (which start monday). They last a week and a half, then I can finally start my glorious return to Wipeout if I choose to. I will be hella rusty though.

[IDReaper]

I am interested in jumping on to team NA, I have college finals this week but then it's clean sailing from there on. Bring on the tryouts!

[Kyonshi]

Glad i have some response guys!

In my first post, i forgot to recap the simple rules of the selection process for the Main and Sub teams, so here it goes.

Last time we made the qualifications for the Main and Sub rosters, we were 8 players. The respective players were sent to one or the other team after participating in a tournament of 16 races, all HD tracks, Forward and Reverse. The four with the most points get their spot on the Main, and of course the rest on the Sub.

I propose we operate the same way again. Even if i've been declared the new "leader" by Vart and TCK, i will still submit myself to this selection process once again.

Once we have 8 players, we will decide a date to do the selection tourney. Let's be clear on this; yes we all have our lives and may be busy from time to time, but its is imperative that once we choose when it'll take place, do your best to be there at the right time. WWC finals are post-poned because we have to rebuild our team. We have time, but we must not abuse of the patience of the others. Rest assured that i will keep the other teams informed of our developement on the WWC thread.

ID Reaper and Koleax, you're on the list! RedScar, im happy you're still there. Since you're still part of the original team, your participation to the selection tourney is assured, i personally take this decision.

Finally, there's something else that we must take account of; its the Holidays season. Surely lot of people will be busy with family reunions and such. Others also have school exams and finals to attend, like some of you already mentioned. This will be busy weeks to come, even for me. We may not be able to reunite on a steady basis. In the eventuality that this occurs, i will address a comment on the WWC thread to inform the other teams. Maybe we could start up the whole process after NYD, to be sure we have free time.

Damn that was a long post Thanks for reading and see you soon!

[Rezatron]

I've heard this Rezatron character is good, too bad he doesn't play phantom. I looked on Connavar's site and he's the #1 ranked pilot in the entire western hemisphere.

Hehe, don't mean for that too sound boastful/arrogant or whatever but what am I supposed to say really?

I've attached my resume

Seriously though, Connavar's site can be helpful for recruiting purposes. I've sorted it by Multiplayer Phantom and here are the top North American pilots:

1.TarotCardKiller
2.Vartizian
3.DeepMix

These chaps are out right? So you got:

4.BlochNWhitey
5.oolproo
6.Darkdrium777 (banned from here...)
7.coatlketzal (on your list so good choice, I would recommend as well)
8.IDReaper (same as above)
9.dante4real
10.TorquedSoul
11.boo4ever

Sorting it by Phantom Elite (this includes just TTs and SLs) you get this:

1.TarotCardKiller
2.Vartizian
3.BlochNWhitey
4.Flashback_Jack (Retired)
5.TorquedSoul
6.FEET_Fly-back7 (?)
7.coatlketzal
8.DeepMix
9.boo4ever

...and then you got my non-phantom playin' ass I've clocked 375 hours in WOHD and maybe 5 hours of that has been phantom.

Oh, IDReaper, coatlketzal and I played in the same Rapier races last night, they can fill you in on the casualty report

[Kyonshi]

Very useful hints Rez, thanks! Dont take no offense because i didnt suggested you... Its just that on a quick thought, those names were fresh in my mind after racing them that night But since we're there, how about you practice a bit on Phantom and participate in the selection?

I already sent an invitation to Boo4ever, with who i play from time to time. Coatl already said he doesn't want to participate in such events long time ago. I wanted to ask again, but then Vart said it was useless. I dont know about Deep, but he seemed to not play anymore...

Darkdrium also declined being part of the original team long ago. And he doesn't play online.

The following added names are considered for taking part in the selection tourney:

-TorquedSoul
-DarkseidMD
-Rezatron
-Oolproo
-FEET_Fly-back7
-BlockNWhitney
-Dante4Real
-IH8YOU

[IDReaper]

I agree with TorquedSoul espescially, great racer it is very hard to keep pace with him on most tracks. Rezatron you should be atleast decent at phantom? 'Cause you were pretty beast at rapier which isnt too far off. Anyway the contenders are looking good, im excited

[Koleax]

Connavar's site also says that ProblemSolver is the 8th best Zone player in world, when he's clearly first.

[Vartazian]

Yeah Reza Cant say your the best When you only fly RAPIER... Psh.

Just jokes.

Good on you Koleax. Keep up the enthusiasm!

[Kyonshi]

DeepMix is still in.

I wanna offer my apologies again publicly to him because i came to the conclusion he wasnt playing anymore.

This is no favoritism either. Deep was on the original team, and some issues with his PS3 HD forced him to leave the competition for a long moment, hence the inappropriate conclusion of mine.

[Kyonshi]

Current players agreed or are confirmed to participate in the selection tournament:

-DeepMix
-RedScar
-Boo4ever
-IDReaper
-Koleax
-Kyonshi

This sums to 6 players. 2 more are needed. Those who manifest themselves first for those 2 remaining spots will complete the list. We will then proceed with the planification of the selection tourney.

[Rezatron]

Count me in, I'll give Phantom a shot

/starts meticulously practicing

About the qualification, why only HD tracks? Just run two 12 track tourneys, the first featuring every track (8 HD + 4 Fury) forward and then another reverse, no?

What happens if someone's PS3 freezes (still happens) or gets disconnected due to crappy connection?

[RedScar]

Well kyo put me as a back up at best. I haven't play Wipeout in awhile now, and even while I played i was still slow as **** compared to vart and TCK.
Moral support? lol

[kaori]

Connavar's site also says that ProblemSolver is the 8th best Zone player in world, when he's clearly first.

What are the setting you take into account for tell that ?

For me (by average) :

Connavar's site also says that Wotan998 is the 2nd best Zone player in world, when he's clearly first.
Connavar's site also says that Matt_XIII_67 is the best Zone player in world, when he's clearly second.
Connavar's site also says that kingheim is the 5th best Zone player in world, when he's clearly third.

[leungbok]

Connavar's site also says that Wotan998 is the 2nd best Zone player in world, when he's clearly first.

Connavar's site also says that Wotan998 is the 9th best overall wipeout HD player in world, when he's clearly first.

[yeldar2097]
