Wow, only TWO people sent in results for our group's speed lap?! Wow.
Also, congrats to blackwiggle for stealing the lead from TheConzio!
EDIT: Just to clarify, Group 8, we are doing the zone battle today at 4pm Perth time?

1 more hour, then I'll go online.

Thanks to all members of Group 7 for the last three weekends, it's been a lot of fun.

Hellfire, same problem as last month.
The 24th is a Wednesday, you mention midnight cutoff as midnight of the 25th .... since it's the last round, lets give us all a days rest / extra time, so we can all get our times in . :)
Just a suggestion, saves having to amend it IMHO.

22nd January 2013, 07:33 AM
Looking at the results, I'm close to third place. I wasn't expecting to be there, but well, I'm happy. I'll give Detonator a shot, though I'm sure this is the round that'll put me out of Omnium. I'm no good at it.

Would I call this the final round or not? Because of the gold final, silver final etc.

22nd January 2013, 03:12 PM
It's the last normal round, the finals are separate
Colonel
22nd January 2013, 10:42 PM
Sorry about this Hellfire, there's a small mistake in Group 7 - Block 4 of the Zone Battle. Azurooth gets 2 pts for that block and so finishes on 9pts for the round; and MightyJordan gets 3 pts giving him 12 for the round. Doesn't make a huge difference in the grand scheme of things but I thought I ought to point it out.
Hellfire_WZ
22nd January 2013, 10:49 PM
No worries. After all, it wouldn't be a first edition results table without a f*cking mistake in it, would it? :lol

I believe you would call it a semi-final.
TheConzio
23rd January 2013, 02:26 AM
Playing Detonator with a non HD Television really sucks, you cant see where the mines are until they are right in front of you!
Edit: Fixed up some settings to make it more visible.
MightyJordan
23rd January 2013, 04:07 PM
No worries. After all, it wouldn't be a first edition results table without a f*cking mistake in it, would it? :lol
Quote of the tournament. :lol
And yeah, like Colonel said, it doesn't affect the overall standings. There's no chance of me getting into the final round, unless there's two dropouts above me. :P Although, after correcting that, Azurooth and novide are tied 2nd on 202 points each, so it'll be interesting to see how they get on in the Detonator round...
Hellfire_WZ
23rd January 2013, 05:30 PM
Yes it does ;) Azurooth stays in the Silver spot for the moment due to a higher number of wins
MightyJordan
23rd January 2013, 06:45 PM

Ok, done with Detonator, results sent. I'm pretty that's the last of Omnium I get, I'm terrible at Detonator.
Well, it's been a lot of fun anyway, as I've already said.
Thanks to all the guys in my group, hope to catch you online soon.
Colonel
24th January 2013, 06:05 PM
I've had results from blackwiggle, theconzio and Ace3000, if the others in Group 8 are sending any results my way, you've got just under 5 hours.
Feydius
24th January 2013, 06:43 PM
Wow, tried to play the whole Detonator round in a few hours today. After some tracks my hand got really slow and shooting the mines became really hard. Well, maybe I'm getting old. :\
Anyway, I wish everyone who's in the finals: Good luck, keep on track and many barrel rolls. ;)

I'm calling it a night. Event managers, please send me results as soon as you can and I'll have the final results table up by tomorrow night along with confirmed finalists.
If you're leaving the competition here, thanks a lot for taking part, it really has been appreciated :)
LJtheZombie
24th January 2013, 11:07 PM
Left myself with about 15 minutes to do both Mallavol and Sol 2 Reverse due to unforseen circumstances, so the scores are pretty crap there! Hopefully the rest of the tracks will see me through.

25th January 2013, 12:54 PM
I am guessing I am the last pilot alive of what was the old ANZAC group.
I think it might need resurrecting..... :)
I'll send out invites to all of group 8 .. well the participators of group 8.
Maybe a first Sunday of the month GG might garner favor
It's up to a communal vote as far as I'm concerned.

25th January 2013, 01:02 PM
Well, that's Omnium over for me I think. It was really great to participate in it and to do something a bit different with all the events. Thanks again for organising it all - I had a blast!

I thought only the eight people who finished in first place in each group went through to the finals? Andy's too far ahead of me now - I'd need a miracle to snatch 1st from him now. :p

Well luckily it's a long weekend here in OZ, so I suppose I can do any time, as long as it doesn't turn out to be around 3am for me, I'm +11 GMT [even though for some reason it says +10 in my timezone info, even after making daylight saving adjustment in settings]

Hellfire, I have been having trouble receiving bpinflag's scores, the trouble started before the deadline, and I have said to him now to just truthfully tell me the scores he got, but he hasn't replied yet. technically he DID send them in before the deadline, or do I just send you the results without including him? :|:|

Sorry CHarlie I lied. Not ANYTIME before 7. I have something from 3-4. Thats the only unavailable time along with 7pm.
blackwiggle
26th January 2013, 01:57 AM
Silver group suggested time:Sunday 9pm GMT.
Since the extreme time differences, and Kpop having to race before 7pm his time.
So if I have worked this out correctly, that should be 4pm Sunday for Kpop in Washington and 8am Monday morning for me in Australia, and will give us 3 hours to complete all the online portion before Kpop has to be elsewhere, which I hope will be long enough.

Hellfire_WZ
26th January 2013, 07:35 AM
I think we're gonna struggle to find a time more convenient than that to be honest, it's tough when everyone is scattered all over the place. I don't think kpop can do any earlier as that would take him into the 3-4 bracket that he said he couldn't do. Let's pencil in Sunday 27th at 9pm GMT and see what happens. I'm intending to blitz through the races as quickly as possible so we shouldnt be sticking around too long hopefully.
Finalists from Group 1 are as follows: Gold - bpinflag, Silver - DefJukie16, Bronze - kiTTun
eric - the finals are this weekend, not next.
Attached are the final results from the group stages, along with a full rundown of the final groups.

Then kiTTun will have to be an early bird in order to make it, unless he doesn't mind. Opposite time zones can be a pain. :(
If we'd meet up at 14:00 UTC, then the times would be these:
• For UTC +1 >> 15:00
• For UTC +8 >> 22:00
• For UTC –6 >> 8:00
If someone still wonders, UTC is similar to GMT.

I do agree with you on time zones being a pain. You change a time to suit one person, and end up screwing up another person's schedule.

Then kiTTun will have to be an early bird in order to make it, unless he doesn't mind. Opposite time zones can be a pain. :(
If we'd meet up at 14:00 UTC, then the times would be these:
• For UTC +1 >> 15:00
• For UTC +8 >> 22:00
• For UTC –6 >> 8:00
If someone still wonders, UTC is similar to GMT.
She doesn't mind. ;)
But I work right until 2 p.m GMT, so I can't get online until 2:15 p.m. GMT, and then I only have 1 hour (exactly, LOL).
Are we just doing the single races this time?

It would be good if the deadline was extended to include next weekend. I certainly don't want to lose anybody from the finals; this weekend doesn't look great and week nights can be problematic for people. I for one won't be available on Tuesday, so if we could do it next Saturday that would be great.

Let's pencil in Sunday 27th at 9pm GMT and see what happens. I'm intending to blitz through the races as quickly as possible so we shouldnt be sticking around too long hopefully.
I should be able to make that time, but I would prefer it if we could do it earlier.
It seems having the final start so close to the weekend is going to cause problems. Would it be easier if I extended it to next weekend as well?
I think that would help. There's a lot of events to do in only 5 days.

"I can do that time, thanks a bunch, I just hope kiTTun can be able to make it at 8am his time.
I do agree with you on time zones being a pain. You change a time to suit one person, and end up screwing up another person's schedule.
EDIT: Just to clarify, are we doing this Sunday?"
Yes, for Sunday Ace.
Please don't worry about my time zone guys, my schedule is erratic at best and I have no problem getting up at 2 a.m. to do whatever needs to be done, that's how I operate (sadly).
Whatever time is chosen has nothing to do with what time of day it is here - it only has to do with whether or not I'm lucky enough to be at home!
Unfortunately next weekend I don't think I'll be available at all - I will be babysitting and working all weekend :(
This Sunday, I'm available from:
Sunday - 2:15-3:15 p.m. GMT and later from about 6:30p.m. GMT onwards
I can race anytime from then until 9:45 p.m. GMT Monday
(As long as I have advance notice to take care of necessities in between, of course)
It's not like I'll be a strong contender but of course I'd like to compete, haha.
What times work for everyone else?

Ace3000
27th January 2013, 08:57 AM
I think, judging by the awkward timing (Scumbag time zones, yay), that we should do just single races for this session.
Also, I'm fine with 1pm GMT, but if people (specifically, kiTTun's earlyness) can't make it, then I'm still fine with 2 or 2:20pm

This is not about shifting the time any further today, I know that would be impossible. It's about moving it back a week keeping the times the same so everyone is fit to play, most likely to next Saturday which could well be more convenient for you. I will set the room up tonight at the agreed time anyway, we'll make a decision then. I am trying to be as accommodating as possible to EVERYONE in this group, as I want a full room as much as anyone. All possibilities will be exhausted before this final goes ahead with anyone absent.

If its going ahead we need a hoster, I have no problem doing that seeing as I managed group 4 but anyone can. Friend requests will need to be sent out to everyone in the group seeing as the game would be set to invite only
Also note if we go ahead today Azurooth won't be able to play as he has the flu.

Rapier Racer
27th January 2013, 01:27 PM
Yeah the choices would be wait for Kittun to get home which might not be too much longer based on her timeframe and proceed, we would loose Azurooth for sure. Does Tarquin even know about this today? Also morfeo378 is on Wipeoutzone?
The other option is to delay the online till next week, I don't know how that sits with everyone.

Right, just read back quickly. I think Ragsus was on board for today as well, but nothing recent from him.
I'm fine with a delay, whatever can accomodate the most pilots is the best time IMO. I don't have anybody from this group on my friends' list so I'll try adding a few. I've seen morfeo post on here before, BTW.
(Next weekend I definitely can't show up for anytime, but during the week hopefully I can make it work.)
EDIT:
Ok, so since today is definitely not the day, I will just check back here at the zone tonight to see if anything has transpired...hopefully Tarquin and Morfeo will check in here? I tried adding RR, Ace, and Ragsus to my friends list, if you guys have room. It would be wonderful to get everyone into a chat room to sort out schedules instead of the three groups all posting in ye massive olde thread.

And after seeing so many rounds in the main tournament with places empty I really want to make sure everyone can play in the final.
Let's say 9pm GMT next Saturday then. I'll let everyone else know.

Also, there was strange things happening while I got my measly zone on Metropia reverse, it seems like all th ecolours were wrong, superphantom was godawfulugly, instead of the nice gold it's supposed to be, and once the speed and colour changed literally 2 seconds after the last change???!!! What in the world has happened to my Wipeout HD??? To top it all off (I'll preface this bit by saying I have had afew, but still!) it seemed like the speed didn't change at all for about 3-4 colour/zone name changes?!?!?
WHAT IS GOING ON???
Somebody help me...can I take screenshots with a PSeye, or is there some PS3 menu item I'm totally unaware of??? Somedays, I'm fricking ready to return to driving a horse and cart and churning butter by hand, bring it, Amish, I"m ready!!!

The two days where all but one competitor can make it, are Wednesday (8pm GMT onwards), and Sunday, from 6pm GMT onwards. All the other days have at least two players unavailable.

If it's at all possible for you to make it, I can't see a better time to be honest. Eric will be missing the first few races as it is, so we can't really set it any earlier without ruling him out altogether. And Sunday is the only day that's feasilble. I know it's not ideal, but if you're willing to have a late night, I can promise you we'll be finished as quickly as possible.

On weekends I'm fine, and the time set for Wednesday (15:30 UTC) looks good for me, and also opens the possibility to play with a full grid, unless I'm blatantly mistaken.

Okay, but we would need to do it as quick as possible.

Well Eric should be on by about 6pm, but Booney only has until 7pm anyway. Sadly there isn't a perfect time for everybody, we'll all need to be a bit flexible.

Hmm this is proving to be quite a challenge lol. Starting in the afternoon would allow time for all events but then its not the afternoon for some people its the middle of the night..If its one race type at a time I hope we can fit them all in before the deadline, or face the possibility that this group might not be able to complete every online event.

Damn, this seem like it's going to be a real probl for you guys in Gold and Bronze. I can offer a bit of a reprieve by significantly reducing the number of online races, meaning it can all be done in less than an hour if you want. Other than that, the only solution I can see would be to remove the online aspect entirely and extend the offiine. One thing is for certain though - the tournament has to end this week as I will not be able to commit to running it with my workload over the next few weeks.

Things get sorted for me and i'm not leaving anymore.
If Booney can leave work sooner or if there is another date where we're all available, i'm actually free from now.
Sorry about all this...

Seriously, if everyone can be on when it's the middle of the night for me, I don't care, it's fine.
It only has to be a night when I'm at home.
What about 10 p.m GMT on Wedsnesday? That's only 8 in the morning for you, right ace?
EDIT: RapierRacer, have we appointed you manager basically? LOL
If so, why doesn't each person in Bronze send you a PM of all available time slots they have for the week. Then you can see which ones are feasible (or the most feasible), correct? There are only a few of us even replying in this thread anyway, right? what do you think of that idea?

No, it's 6am for me. But going by the problems we're having, I'm starting to not get picky. 10pm GMT will be fine.

If something comes up where tonight is called off, can someone PM me so I'm not rushing home for nothing? Thanks all hope to do some serious final-finishing today :) LET'S DO IT!

Great to see we now have a penciled time to do this, and we'll be all there! :)
Also, there was strange things happening while I got my measly zone on Metropia reverse, it seems like all th ecolours were wrong, superphantom was godawfulugly, instead of the nice gold it's supposed to be.
When you play Zone on the reversed version of the original tracks, the color scheme sequence is also reversed, hence those "godawfulugly" Super-Phantom's colors. :P
On a side note, the Supersonic's colors are the same for both versions.
Rapier Racer
30th January 2013, 05:08 PM
Hooray!! 10PM GMT this evening? I'll be online in a few hours amd attempt to add everyone, I'm a bit concerned about the 2 players who arent on here they might not even get the message tonight, which would suck because it seems we finally managed to get a time sorted.
If anyone has time to try and contact them Via PSN please give it a shot and post back if you hear.
Also what are we going for tonight? As many events as we can?
Lol @ Medusa I'm just tryin to sort things out for us :)
Hellfire we might have to drop some events, we'll see what we can get done tonight.
EDIT: morfeo378 is the player I think doesn't have an account here, also have we had any input from Tarquin or Azurooth about tonight ?
Hellfire_WZ
30th January 2013, 05:12 PM
No worries. Get done what you can, change scores or zone targets if needed, drop races if you really need to. Let me know how you manage to get on.

30th January 2013, 05:22 PM
Just realized the Clasico football match is on tonight but feck it. WipEout is more important to me. ;)
EDIT: I can only do Single Race tonight, is that the plan?
Rapier Racer
30th January 2013, 06:30 PM
At this point anything will do lol, if its not possible to fit more events in before midnight Sunday GMT then Single race might be all we have for the online portion.
Ragsus Maxima
30th January 2013, 06:34 PM
morfeo378 is the player I think doesn't have an account here.
I don't know if he's user of the forum, neither I know if he checks it from time to time. I'll send him a message ASAP.
PS: He is user, and sure he is aware of the time chosen for tonight. Nevertheless, I'll give him a touch.

LOL! Thanks Ragsus, now it's clear to all how much zone I've done on those, eh?
Really, I thought my game was dying due to a combination of that, and a tonne of those little freezes that happen every time a song changes during my game (since this new patch), and also I couldn't seem to get any of the corners right. It was a bad night really. :dizzy

31st January 2013, 06:09 AM
I'm doing really bad, i cant even concentrate when i play, stuffing up all the time, hitting walls, not even able to get past phantom on Zone mode! I don't know what the hell has come over me but I'm doing a disgraceful performance. :redface::frown::|
EDIT: On that note, I may not be able to complete the offline events in time, my birthday is tomorrow, and quite busy on the weekend :|

So Bronze group are we meeting at 10PM GMT this evening for another round? If so are we doing Eliminator or Zone Battle?
Medusa
31st January 2013, 04:05 PM
I thought so.All but Tarquin yesterday said they would be on, so could someone pm tarquin and morfeo with the time and hopefully we can connect with them too
Rapier Racer
31st January 2013, 04:48 PM
I mentioned it to Tarquin yesterday, he came back into the chat room after you all left last night so hopefully.

31st January 2013, 05:05 PM
Hi all :)
I'll be there & I'd prefer elim, 'cause I'm meeting my bro for some liriquid refreshments, so my old eyes won't do zone battle after.
Hope that's cool with y'all? :)

That was some good racing tonight Bronzies! We got the online done despite the considerable timezone challenges :D Fair enough we lost 1 player last night and 2 this evening but I don't feel we could have done much more to try and accomodate. Just a shame Ace didn't set his alarm clock.
Good luck with the rest of the offline racing!

Colonel, we can change it back to 5:00pm GMT if it makes it more convenient. I have run out of download during peak time over here, so my internet will be better at that time (Well it actually goes off-peak an hour later, 6pm GMT)

Just finished the online event for the Silver group. I think I've realised now that I'm not cut out for these competitive events any more and am seriously considering retiring from the game now after 4 years. I've had a lot of fun over the years, but this old pilot's time has passed and I don't think I can do this anymore.
I'd like to thank Hellfire for the tremendous amount of effort he's put into this. Seriously mate, it is really appreciated.

3rd February 2013, 12:12 AM
You won't give it up, you might give it a rest for a while, but you'll be back just like I have done several times now.
I just played it out to finish the tournament, knowing full well beforehand that I wasn't going to win any races unless by some fluke.
What I have got out of this tournament was some fun times online [especially the chat room], and have beaten quite a few PB's in the offline portion, and have "Shock Horror" have nearly come to terms with Modesto.... well I find I don't hate it as much as much as I have done, I have a new bigger hate in this game, that being Zone Battle.
I'll echo Dark Phantoms thanks to Hellfire for not only the running of this event, but also for his long and continued support for all things Wipeout and to the forum members.
We all know the Zone would of folded without you.
A huge thanks.:+:)
TheConzio
3rd February 2013, 03:25 AM
Yeah thank you Hellfire, I haven't been on WipeoutZone for very long but I can see all the work and effort you have to put into this, and WipeoutZone in general. I suggest taking a long break after the tournament has finished :P

Gold and Bronze groups, if you've finished your online events could you send the results over to me ASAP? Needs to be individual races. That way I can at least get them into the spreadsheet before the mad rush later on. Incidentally I've only received results from three people so far from both groups, so I take it I'll be expecting them later tonight. If you want to email them, PM me and I'll give you my address
