Hello there! I've been invited through the psn by kanar and I'm interested in joining the fun.
Welcome Rolo, new guy here to nice to see that more people are joining up :)
If there's a slot left, I'll take it.
heey guys, welcome to the cup! good to see you joining. Koleax! Long time no see!
does anyone know about Challonge? are we using it for the WOHD-Cup? if not it's an easy and professional looking way of keeping score!
http://challonge.com/
theres a link to the site maybe that would be a good way to graphically show the tournament results?
Just a thougt :)
hey mate, Darkdrium777 is working on a sexy board atm, should be released right on time. So no worries, and thx for the suggestion there, I'll check your link even if we already have a the sexiest board ever ;) .
EDIT : Contacted Oryx cos' when I think about it, if we can access the board on challonge as a guest, in one single clic we could check the results (compared to 2 or 3 more clics for the nice boards here lol). So if there's a free access, definitely worth a try.
yeh but kanar has lots more experiance than me though. the original wipeout was 3 months 9 days old when i was born (calculating the exact date to 10th december 1995)Quote:

It also helps if you can handle Phantom speed, because then the lower speed classes will be no problem for you whatsoever.
It's always a great feeling to get a high ranking time and this spurns you on to improve even more, at least it did with me.
sweet. well i have a long time to improve before the 20th december. hey btw whos gonna see the new jackass (dont know what this has to do with wipEout but hey better ask while I remember)
Better to ask in the general conversation thread.

lol! go the offtopic discussion & make a thread if you want to talk about that mate. Between you & me & totally off-topic, I'm a Jackass die hard fan lol. I've everything from them, especially the wild boyz series, my fav. Tbh cinemas are way too much expensive here in my town, so I won't go to see it sadly. But I definitely would like to.
yeh, thing is i have a rubbish memory. once i need to ask a question i got to ask it ASAP or ill forget
Unfortunately the maximum number of participants allowed on the website is 200. We have 256.Quote:

Have you asked Luxoflux and spook-21 if they want to participate? Those are two names that I think should be in the cup.
Well Luxo still stays mysterious regarding his participation. Maybe you could send him one more hint to this thread eh eh. I think we advertised spook already too, but like Luxo iit could be interesting to make him a reminder too. Eric contacted peh hok today after I sent him an invite a while ago, and seems like he could be interested now. Now the stuff looks big some people may change their mind, as R3BU5ER said here recently.
well there is a way to get around that though.Quote:

in any case if it works great if not oh well what are we to do? :)
I had not thought of that. Well ok since there will be eight groups on my board there could be 8 on there too... And then one last one for the top eight players (Kind of like what I have setup right now for me.) I guess, if someone wants to try and set up this thing I have the list of players currently (minus maybe one or two) so go ahead.
Oh but wait we don't know who is in what group and facing off against who. Ok so test it out if you like but do not publish it yet because it's not official.
Also one last thing this is gonna be more stuff to keep up to date if people are going to use it. More work for the raptors. But also it will probably be more simple than updating mine (which is a picture and not text like the website.) However mine looks better :p
Very interesting stuff there. Oryx, if you have time you're free to check all challonge possibilities (like direct link to reports/yt vids;)). This is how I see the whole stuff in December;
One board here updated by Sat & me, and one board on challonge, updated by Oryx & maybe some raptors who are up to subscribe to challonge (in order to update the board too), for direct cup feedbacks.

Oh, so he is :) woops.
Yo Kanar, I was wondering as a Raptor...I could make an official WipEout HD Cup Soundtrack?
Thoughts guys?
UB3R
Go for it!:hyper
stevie:)
lol! you're free to go, make a thread at the command center if you need any thoughts btw. Or yeah, just talk about that here, sure.
I'm still trying to taunt DjKyoto and 2 others that no longer seem to visit the zone in to racing in the tournament, I think I might as well talk to a brick, I'll check my PSN messages in a moment to see if he or the others have taken the bait.
yeah blackwiggle hope some old timers change their mind. Not like I'm a fan of unresponsive kiwis so far in that case but I'm just thinking about the competition, more aces on the track = more fun. Cos' one thing i like in this story is : jeeez we'll have a wipeout HD world Champ in the end :), all in the 1vs1 fairness
I had a few races with TheBulletDodger7 last night and he was pretty good. Managed to keep up with me for a couple of laps on Moa Therma, Metropia and Vineta K. I could see him being a good contestant if he's interested?
I think I can do this, and if other people are able to also edit it and put in results that would be even better :).
@darkdrium I am quite certain your board is alot sexier ^^
Im really looking forward to this; with no practice comes no pressure :)
just........ keep.......... telling yourself this!.....
i'm having no time to practise :\
gt5, cod and a whole load of replaying old games due to my ps3 yloding on me, didn't back it up :\
still... BRING ON THE CUP! :D
eh eh it's coming it's coming! gah mate my first YLOD tonight, 50 mn ago exactly pfffff. Old snake ps3, first series. Weird to see this fkin yellow light. Seems like you're hearing Sony at this time, saying "fuuuuuuuuuuuu.. you morron, you bought my stuff 600€ for the release date & 4 years after my stuff dieeeeee. Welcome to the real world. The world of mass consumption. Hopefully I anticipated the YLOD a while ago, wth my 2009 series (just before the slim). Gah I hate even more than ever Sony right now.
Yeah I just retired my 60G BC FAT PS3 last week, even though it's still got 1 years warranty left on it, for a 160G Slim mainly because it was unusable since it returned from the Sony service center in June.
The Fan was so loud that you couldn't hear dialogue in movies or games, and now since Summer is starting here soon every time the temp hit 21C I'd get a "Shutdown console Overheating warning", which was within 3 minutes of turn on.
lol nice work Sony. It was probably repaired by a numbot with zero braincells.
That sucks, Kanar! You're welcome to join my "I hate all consumer electronics with a passion" club. It would be on Facebook, except I'm not a member, because I hate that too... :p
lol i hate facebook too.. lets make a " i hate facebook" facebook page.
but first we need someone with facebook lol
It's the look of disbelief on people's faces when you tell them you're not on Facebook that annnoys me. Sorry, drifting off topic, but that bloody site gets on my t*ts.
OLOuk???
Ah what the heck, might as well join this for old times sake :)
Knowing my luck anyway, I'll probably get matched up with some ridiculous opponent >_>
If you need a bracket software, try out ALJ Tournament Maker 2.1
I'm not sure if it will support 256, but its worth a go
rdmx :hyper:hyper. FINALLY! ah ah, tbh I had good hopes you'll change your mind. And don't worry, lot of us are just coming out of retirement. REALLY glad you're joining, and exactly, this cup is for old times sake. We spent so many great times on this game since its release, we met so many great persons online & some of 'em, for me, even in real life...
So this event is just to thank you all for these awesome memories.
Regarding the board mate, Darkdrium designed a sexy huge board, divided into 8 parts of 32, for better viewing & updating on WZ.
Oryx came with a board in direct access wth the website challonge, so we'll have a board visual on this website too, updated by Oryx & me so far (hope challonge isn't blocked by the firewall at my job eh eh).
Yes! I want to be part of this. ;)
