All right.Quote:
I think all of them is the only option. Half hosted by the Dutch and half by your lot.
The Flying Dutchmen hosts: The 8 tracks Forward
Team Nordic hosts: The 8 tracks Reverse
Phantom. Weapons On.
I´ll let you know, who´ll be the Team Nordic-host, when qualification-races are over (friday).
I´ll suggest that the wipers, who are going to race, will be on each others PSN-friendlist to minimalize "outsiders" interrupting the start-up of the first race.
All set.
Only 1 problem to solve: How are we gonna keep track of the points for each of the 16 races?
we could delegate one person on each team to count the points just to make sure it's all fair. yesnomaybe?
I wouldn´t like being the one taking notes - in 6-10 seconds - after all 16 races :blarg
Idea/hint:
Some might want to capture the event on video.
(I know you´ve only have 69 other videos to upload, Yeldar :eek).
I know SaturnReturn is able to do it as well.
true, i was planning on recording them anyway (assuming i make the dutch team).
good plan.
OR, does anyone round here have a FANTASTIC memory? :)
Me too (assuming I make the nordic team).Quote:

not fast enough for the dutch though ;)
I would do just that, if I'd ever played any other game online before HD. But I haven't, so I can't. I feel there's a difference. If I perceive it, it's real.Quote:

If someone takes video or a photo of the screen at the end of each race then that should be good for verification in case anyone makes a mistake in the rush.
I may not be recording this as it's a bit of a distraction. The camera basically has to sit between me and the TV. I probably will in the end though, just in case anything really crazy happens.
Just race while watching the screen of the camcorder :lol.Quote:

So saturday 1300 GMT+1 ?
o damn, i can't, i'm not home that whole day :(
After a mind-blowing Qualification Match, I´ve got the participants for Team Nordic:
Soccermums
Golgofier
Zoth-Ommog
JJPAP
Reserve/stand-by:
machiasu
SaturnReturn: When you got the participants for The Flying Dutchmen, I´ll sent you a draft, you can put on top of this thread: Wipers, host, skins, time, tracks, etc.
Team Nordic is ready to rumble!
damm, the last few days i have been unable to race online. it keeps saying that an error has occurred whilst conecting to the server. so ill be probably using a different account. ill let you know which one
Luxoflux - That's cool. I hope you can get on with a different account.
JJPAP - Thanks. The dutch team is still as listed on the first page on green.
I probably won't choose my ship until right at the last minute though. It could be Feisar, AGS or Goteki. Whatever it is I'll stick with it for the whole thing. Should we impose that as a rule? I think we should as it would be the case in a tournament game.
Yeah, you choose one ship and use it in all the races. Good idea.
What I meant with skins: One team uses silver skin and the other uses a color that differs as much as possible from the silver skin.
I wouldn´t like serving Golgofier a missile because I thought he was Jaller65 (aka Luxoflux :lol).
Tomorrow I´ll make a draft, you can put on top of this thread.
NB: I´ll record the battle on video from my humble Feisar.
To be honest I don't like silver skins. I'm colourblind (please no stupid questions or comments - I get enough of them in the real world) and for some reason the silver skins just confuse my defective brain. I have tags turned on anyway so I always know who is who.
Unfortunately it seems Yeldar got all excited about half term, probably drank one Grolsch too many and confused Sunday with Saturday. So he's unavailable. Best laid plans eh?
Anyway, FrenkyV, are you still available? If not, I'll have to find someone else. Let's just hope I don't have to resort to recruiting a Belgian :p
Wuh ho, Saturn, that post makes me think the fight is on saturday. Otherwise yeldar simply needs to cancel his interfering plans :P
I'm still on and preparing!
Just to clarify - Team Nordic vs. The Flying Dutchmen is arranged for Sunday 22nd, as per the first post in the thread. Yeldar can't cancel so we'll need another player. I think FrenkyV is the only other player who is available. If he's not then I will contact TheMuse and DjManiac.
Mad-Ice has also been trying to arrange a match for just the Flying Dutchmen to play against each other on Saturday 21st at 1300 amsterdam time I believe, which is something separate to this thread but is mentioned here a couple of times. This is because we were trying to arrange them both not to clash etc.
Good. Too bad yeldar :)
Only ten hours left to consolidate the 4th spot for tomorrow!
Been online for a bit but that didn't go too well, must have enthused you Nordics even more :P
sorry i can't make it chaps but i'm sure we've got this one in the bag already ;)
there's a lot of fast dutch pilots so finding a replacement shouldn't be too hard.
in any case due to my own rules i'd have to race auricom so it's probably best i sit this one out...
@saturn: i don't drink beer so unlikely that i was confused by grolsch, absinthe is the more likely culprit :) .....yeah whatever yeldar...
good luck! oranje boven! hup holland hup! you get the idea ;)
Sorry guys, had to go off to work just now, but I think we have a promising team ;)
I don't know what or where, but tomorrow I'm off, so if the dutch team will be needing a pilot let me know :)
Everyone - Final details are now shown in the first post of this thread. Thanks JJPAP.
R3BU5ER - Thanks. You will be first standby if I do not hear from FrenkyV. As mentioned above - details are in first post of the thread.
It looks like Sony is about to spoil our race tonight. Noone seems able to connect to the WO network!
I'd like to curse a bit now but I'll save it for when we actually won't be able to have this tournament...
:paperbag
That is s***. I´ll try to log-in in a couple of minutes.
We´ll see.
If all get a lot of troubles, we might postpone it ´till 19.30 GMT (if possible).
We´ll see.
Update:
After some problems I am able to log-in.
First time: No way.
I quitted WO and started it up again.
Now im in :+.
Hopefully everyone will be ready for 19.30 GMT.
I'm able to logon now.
I can sign in. I'm still going to set up for 1830 as it seems to be working for everyone now. I hope this all goes according to plan.
OK, good. I can as well, first time went just fine again.
We are on!
HUP HOLLAND HUP! Show them snowy northerns what we are made of. I say freeze :cold them, Mad-Ice.
good luck everyone for that cool match between 2 strong teams, shame Matthijs you can t make it :(
btw i did laughed hard when i read the flying dutch girls vs the Nordicks :lol
Looking forward to watch those videos
Awesome races guys! Thanks a lot :D
Those vids promise for some hot action as pretty much always ;)
OMFG!!! That was so freakin' awesome. BEST WIPEOUT GAME EVAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!!!!
As you can tell, I liked it quite a lot. Scores on the way.
Highlight for me was when the dutch were in 1,2,3,4 on metropia and AnErare in 1st place dropped mines on all of us. Classic!
Yes, well, the actual reasoning behind that was if you three were set back, the Nordics would surely be unable to get back at me ;PP And it worked! :dizzy
Wicked action all through, we should do this more often. Hoist them sails! :pirate
HAHA, worst reasoning I ever heard. But it cracked me up so I'll let you off.
No because you guys would probably form a barrier against them :g It was a long shot! But thanks for letting me off, don't expect this kind of thinking to repeat itself though ;)
As a little teaser, results from the FORWARD TRACKS only are...
The Flying Dutchmen..........128
Team Nordic.....................104
Can the Nordics make up the difference in the second half. Tune in for my next post to find out.
It's pretty tense for me right now. From what I saw in the second half Nordic could come out on top. I know my results were definitely not as good on the reverse tracks. I made some shocking mistakes, as you will see later in the videos. Back soon.
Great tournament, with lots of tight situations and quality racing! my hands were shaking afterwards because of adrenaline rush :) cool huh! it was quite hard to tell who you're about to pound around, i killed soccermums in the last corner of Uber Mall fwd ooops..:paperbag
LOL Zoth :P
After a while the tags seemed to have vanished so I wasn't even able to tell who all those feisars and ag-sys were :P
That was some super-sweet races!
Think I've had my dose of adrenalin for this month :D
Although, I was really mad with myself at a couple of occasions were I made some pretty horrible mistakes, flying of the track in places I didn't even think it was possible to :P
Anyway, thanks all!
Ghehehe, have had that myself on AP fwd once, not tonight though luckily ;)
It happened after the first corner, was taking it way to tight and happened way too fast to correct at that time... I hit the inside wall, nose scooped up and jammed against one of the poles and sent me hopping off the track! :lol
RESULTS ARE IN:
Team Nordic.....................237
The Flying Dutchmen..........227
WINNERS : TEAM NORDIC
Well done guys, that's an impressive comeback. I'm off to kick myself now for all the mistakes I made in the second half.
Thanks to everyone for taking part and making this a success. I will post a full set of results soon, as well as videos when I get the chance. For now I have to go eat - so hungry.
