My PArtner Went AWOL so I sont know if I could take part.
you MIGHT be able to take my place with Hellfire if youd like (and if the grumpy bastard will take you! ;))
As always, more bills stopped me from sending my ps3 off to be repaired as early as id have liked to, so im not sure if ill be back in time.
Only a NURSE would post something like that .:lol:lol:lolQuote:

Results for THEREDANDWHITE Vs. Foile á Deux:
eLhabib and Amorbis (THEREDANDWHITE):
Forward: 87
Reverse: 87
Overall: 174
SaturnReturn and TarotCardKiller (Foile á Deux):
Forward: 97
Reverse: 97
Overall: 194
Very close and intense races in both tournaments, in the end Saturn and TCK just managed to prevail with me and eL close behind. Well done Foile á Deux!
Congrats to the winners! Much fun it was!
I have to say this was much closer than I expected, so I'm actually quite satisfied with the results - even though we lost consistency as each tour reached the back 4 tracks...
Great stuff!
Well done to you guys. You pushed us real hard. That's probably the most exciting racing experience I've had in a while. You two really know how to handle the less spritely ships.
I'd encourage everyone else to get some more matches going so we can see how the league table will pan out when everyone has a few more matches under their belts.
good plan sat
unless I can get to a computer I won't be updating till the 24th because I'm away. editing it using my lowly iPod would no doubt prove incredibly tiresome
But I'm not a nurse Wiggle...heheQuote:

Your aquatic partner? rubberduck FTW! Yeah I'm actually retired from the tracks, funny thing, I tried some online races yesterday in the afternoon, despite the fact I'm out of training, & it was awful. Everybody killed me, and then the servers took the decision of kicking me out cos' I was horrible lol. You're right Cat, I'll be away from my ps3 during the next 2 weeks but I'll be back in the early august days, so we could prepare the next aerodynamic season soon anyway.
Hello all :)
Fgdk and me are ready for some matches this summer.
We're available after 17h GTM in the week.
See you soon :banzai
I'm sure everyone who is interested already has a partner but if anyone wants to carry me round feel free to PM me and let me know.....
Just to re-cap, we still all set for a doubles fiesta on 24/25/26 july yeah? :)
ill be borrowing a ps3 so ill be there! :hyper
yes we most certainly are!
and if nobody turns up we can just have another meet the following weekend :D
You guys best be about saturday & sunday! :g:rock
ill have a ps3 (no FURY) but hey, beggers cany be choosers!! :beer
Well I'll be there, but I'm not to sure about my partner :D If he's online we might come looking for a fight in between grinding Fury.
Is there a special chatroom set up for this, or are we using WOZone?
Bring it on! I may be pissed tomorrow night though ;)
I would like to start a doubles team but i need a partner.
A new team has entered the Arena !!
Comprised of myself and As_Heaven_is_Wide (Vic_Viper_85 on psn)
We have yet to think of a decent name for our team yet but when we do be sure to let you know.
If anyone wants a challenge over the weekend let us know and see if it can be arranged.
Will have to be on the old tracks though as neither of us are competent on the new ones yet.
Hello everybdy I'm back
Feel free to turn up this weekend, it's an pen invitation sort of thing.
Having said that, what with Fury and everything, if the general concensous is that we should postpone til another time so people can have fun with Fury, that's fine by me.
now to update the table......
kinda partied friday night and errr, didnt get the ps3 before mate to work...... poo
ive been looking around the wipeoutzone for a casual tourny to join becuase ill be headed down to school in late august and probably wont be taking my ps3. this seems like what i was looking for so if anyone needs a partner, im game!
i know we're all very excited what with fury coming out and that buuuut...... matches....anyone?
Asayyeah and myself are looking for a match in the near future. Anyone game?
Anyone looking for a doubles partner..? :beer :p
Eh up lads, time for a bit of reinvigoration!
Pick up you relentless, grab some E's, knock 'em back and go :hyper
Now that all this Fury crapola is out of the way (i.e. people are over the initial excitement), it's time to get the ball rolling again!
You know what to do ;) Challenge away :g
That's an order :twisted
Edit: Just realised that there's a WWC going on...I don't care, this takes less organising so lets go! :)
I was thinking of this the other day!
thoughrally enjoyed doubles matches so far. will have to pm hellfire to see whos wife we want to widow next :g
Well I'm not married so does that mean we have to beat you? :P
OBH your trashing ways seem to have rubbed off somewhat... :g
because its great fun! :beer
luckily this place isnt like many online communities thatll take the trash talking an itty-bit-too-personally :)
OBH you're a meanie and I hate you :P like that? ;)
teehee, runaway!!! :dizzy
Hello, I see some things on this forum who tell me there are some people interested in a team competition.
Remember you this doubles ladder.
I have the idea to relaunch this competition with some arrangements, in order to supple the rules.
- Teams can contain from 2 to 9 pilots.
- Pilots can't join several teams at same time.
- Each month, a team can change 1 or 2 player(s).
- Each team can play with 2, 3 or 4 players, regardless number of opponents.
- No rules for team composition : national, ship addicted (eg Icaras team), or just friends, like you want.
New tournaments :
The HD Campaign Tour : 8 HD tracks forward
The Fury Campaign Tour : 8 Fury tracks
The No Campaign Tour : 8 HD tracks reverse
The Forward Tour : 12 tracks forward
The Reverse Tour : 12 tracks reverse
Enduro Tour : 3 free-choice races of 20 laps
You can play with or without weapons, Rapier tournaments are possible, you can increase the number of laps by race (I think 5 in Rapier & 7 in Phantom are good choices).
Designation of winners when the two teams haven't the same number of players.
Team A with 2 players, Team B with 3 or 4 players : Team A score the sum of his two players. Team B score the sum of his two best players at the end of the tournament. (and not the sum of the 2 best in each race)
Team A with 3 players, Team B with 4 players : Team A score the sum of his three players. Team B score the sum of his three best players at the end of the tournament. (and not the sum of the 3 best in each race)
So, have more players than his opponent can give an advantage, but it's not irremediable.
When the teams have same number of players, all their points count.
The draws are possible.
I have no real idea for the ranking system. We can keep actual Elo system, or create a real championship, (win = 3 points, lose = 1 point, draw = 2 points), during two or three months, with play-off or final for 4 or 2 best season teams (depending of number of teams).
With these more flexible rules, it will be easier to organize meetings & tournaments.
I'd like to see something like this happen kaori. Playing single races gets a little repetitive after a while. I think we need to find a way to make the game a bit more interesting. I think a lot of us want to keep playing, but struggle to find anything new these days, especially when we're more of the copying type than the pioneer type (i.e. me).
The doubles ladder was a reasonable success, but I do think it was only a small number of teams who really kept it going for a while. Organisation is a big issue. It's usually one dedicated person that does the organising. Having only 4 players to worry about made it a little easier than full matches.
Another thing that I think made doubles enjoyable, was that there was less carnage, due to the lower number of players. There were less weapons flying around and less negative effects from lag etc. As well as meaning races resembled something closer to racing, it also meant people felt less hard done by when they lost. You didn't really have to worry about that side of things - you just had to race your arse off. I think EPSILON's ASTRAL went very well for quite some time. Then interest started to fade and I think it may have been partly because there was just too much carnage.
What you're suggesting sounds good to get more regular team games. I like your ideas. Having a large squad and any number of players able to play would be good to make it flexible. There are a few minor issues though. For a 3 v. 2 type game, one team would essentially have 50% more firepower and I think this would have a great effect on the outcome.
I was thinking though, what if we were to do something that did not require a preset team at all? What if we just had a weekly time when e.g. doubles matches happened. We could setup up a chatbox and people could join and just partner up and race another random team. Maybe an ELO system could still be used and players could be ranked as individuals, based on their team working skills, taking into account both the team score and individual score (so that team mates don't just start shooting each other at the end, if they're already way ahead :P). We could say that players shouldn't be with the same partner more than once, e.g. within a certain time frame. This would prevent anyone pair from going together each week and dominating together. Maybe we make that time frame the 'season' and declare a winner at the end. Matches could be short, so even if only four people turned up one week, they could play in one pair and then switch round and do another tournament. I think this could work well for a casual and fun league, perhaps. I guess it could be difficult as well in some ways, e.g. if loads of people wanted to take part then it could get difficult organising it on the spot. But I suppose we wouldn't know that until we tried.
I see the advantages as these:
- Minimal players needed to get a match going=sustainable
- Easy organization - just turn up at the same time(s) each week(end) and see who's in the chatbox
- Less carnage and adverse lag effects
- Competitive, but not dominated by any one in particular
- Get to know new people by playing on a team with them
Maybe as a further idea, we could do a short season and then match the top players with the bottom players and then create a short knockout tournament of some kind.
Anyway, I'll stop now. I'm playing the game as I type this, so apologies if it's a bit muddled. I just wanted to throw some ideas out there and maybe help to drum up some interest. I think we need it. :)
signing up for the rebirth of the legendary double ladder. Hope we'll be more than 3 though.
Can do a 1 vs 7 too then? :D
Are you volunteering for that Conna? :P
Actually that'd be awesome! Like trying to run away from a pack of hunters, but WOHD style :nod
7 on 1 Vartazian hunt fest was already arranged... no?
I think no.
I'm sure we could come to some sort of arrangement ;)
Connavar can be the guinea pig for suggesting the idea to us :g
This is pretty interesting, I think it would be great to revive doubles. Maybe current teams can send players to doubles matches? Rezatron team with me lol.
I really enjoyed the doubles nights but I think my partner has retired from playing now mostly due to the adverts. The game needs something injected in to it as the only interest at the moment for me is the TT/SL comp.
