As for me, im East Coast time, -5 GMT. Usually available starting from 7pm on week, i always got my week-ends off.
What do you say people of having the qualifications held on a Friday night? Next week-end i can't be home, neither the one after. But i can be there on a Friday.
How about doing that on 10 to 11pm East, so Central and West can be available too after work/school? Give me your advice about this idea.
I am in agreement with this time. My last exam this friday is 12-1:50PM and I'm free after that yay! Gotta get to practicing though.
11pm-12am Eastern would be better for me, since I work late.
I'm cool with staying home on a Friday night and playing wipeout with you guys :paperbag :g
This Friday is too soon IMO and RedScar said he was busy until the 16th, so what about Friday Dec 18?
Friday Dec 25 is Christmas and Friday Jan 1 i'll be in no condition to do this. :P
Friday the 18th is cool, i had this in mind too.
In the eventuality that something happens on this day, that we cant reunite, do you all agree to try again on Dec 26th or Jan 2nd 2010?
All those days are fine with me.
I will be out of town on Dec 18-21. I should be available on the other dates though.
First of all, a big up to Kyonshi for putting in so much effort to get this thing working again!
I hope everything is set, so that the final match can be done before Christmas. Otherwise I won't be there and maybe others too because of holidays and other things.
Good luck to all, greetz Mad-Ice
Ok, we have to reschedule a date because Boo4ever wont be available. I suggest the 17th instead of 18th. Its a Thursday. Otherwise, we'll have to look in the days before Xmas, starting from 22nd, since Boo comes back on the 21st. Ultimately if this cant be done, we'll have to look between Xmas and New Year's Day.
@Mad-Ice
Thank you dude for the cheers :)
I doubt that the next official WWC race will take place before Xmas, as you can see above. Holidays will be very busy times, but i already mentioned that in previous posts here. Unfortunately we have to put a hold on the next match :( My apologies for all the waiting. Its just that we had to recreate a team... during Holidays yeah :lol
We'll do our best, but we can promise anything in such short terms.
You are most welcome! I really hope you can make it before Christmas, because I really want to be there in the final match. But we will see.
What are the qualifiers for ? Are they for the 4 spots in the WC race or the 8 pilots to make the team?Quote:

Where have you been TCK? Haven't seen you for a while on psn. Things going okay? It's cool to see you drop in to check on the new NA team developments.
I took a much needed break from WO... Are you guys doing anything to prepare before the qualifiers ? You should set up a date for sessions, team up, and have tourneys against each other... It'll help your teamwork... I think only a few of you have played in a actual team race before
I'm on WO again (not as much, but enough), set up a date so I can practice with you guys
Had a nice 1on1 session with TCK tonight. Very good practice, lost most races by 1-3 seconds but I also won a few ;)
So everyone is good for the 17th still? Please post to confirm. If so, we need to find a time, perhaps 10/11pm EST?
I'll send PM on PS3 tonite, to have confirmations for the 17th. We must at least make the qualificatoions before the end of the year.
17th anytime after 8:00PM is still good for me.
This is going to be a rough week for me. I have a full schedule with work related meetings and dinners this week. I then have a 6:30am flight on Fri. I apologize for making things difficult. Any chance for another date?
@Boo4ever
There's always tomorrow nite and Wednesday too. Otherwise, its going to be next week after your return.
Until Wednesday the 16th, all days are opened for all to confirm their presence for the Qualifications.
Weekdays after 10:00pm Central Time are all good for me.
Epic session tonight with IDReaper and DeepMix. I think we played over 3 hours. I improved my phantom skills quite a bit as a result so props to everyone (also Kyonshi and SenGoku81 for joining us).
I think it was agreed in the chat that sometime between Christmas and new year's was the new target for qualification? This might be a problem as I recall other teams wanting to finish the WC before Christmas, correct me if i'm wrong on that.
ps: where are you Koleax? You post on the forum but haven't been on PSN for 18 days, come train with us :banzai
We must try our best to do the qualifications between Xmas and NYD, right after Boo4ever comes back on the 21st. Also, think about the possibility of doing the next WWC event shortly after our Main team is consolidated. Whatever the issue is, i will post on the WWC thread to inform other teams. But please keep yourselves informed here and on our PSN mailbox for further messages. Thats is all for now, give your suggestions about the next date :)
OK guys, here it is. My responses suggest we can do a match on Monday 21st, Tuesday 22nd, or Wednesday 23rd. At the very least we have 4 players who are generally available on those days. The time will be between 2000 hours GMT and 0000 hours GMT. At the moment at least we seem to be very flexible on that front. So let us know if you can get a team of 4 players for those times and we can set something up.
Monday will probably be short notice, so if you want to do that day then it could be a bit last minute and we should all be prepared for that to fail. Ideally, Tuesday or Wednesday would be good. If you can chase up your guys and see if you can bring a team together for those days and let me know what time then that would be great. Then I'll confirm from our end.
Well considering that Boo4ever gets back on the 21st and we haven't done qualifications I'm not sure that we would be able to qualify and race on the 21st, and that's if Boo4ever can even race that day. I can be there for qualifiers anytime, hopefully we'll be able to organize in time for those dates but I can say for sure.
You might not even need qualifiers. If you only have 4 players available, then that would dictate your team. See who can play first and then see how you want to decide your team. If you do have a team available, I think it would be good to race.
Thats exactly what i wanted to propose, as we discussed some days ago, me and Saturn.
To accelerate the process, i want to ask you all if you agree that we decide 4 players to be part of the Main Team for the next WWC race, without doing qualifications. The chosen players could be selected based on their immediate or short term availability.
The remaining players would be considered being part of the Sub Team, and would be called upon whenever a given number of pilots of the Main Team couldn't be present for the race.
This way, we could kick off and resume the WWC races sooner. I would appreciate your point of view on this suggestion and post here or send me a PM on my PSN mailbox ASAP. Thank you all for keeping track of the developement of the team :)
i do agree kyonshi, its ok with me anyway im ready to race anytime just tell me
I work the next three days, so anything late would be cool, but not to late because I have to wake up early. 8-10ish
Yeah i'm available nights this week (Mon/Tues/Wed). From what i've seen in races (haven't played RedScar or Koleax) the 4 should be:
-DeepMix
-IDReaper
-CoatlKetzal
-Rezatron :pirate
The only problem is the language barrier with CoatlKetzal, he's not comfortable with English, in that case I don't have a 4th candidate really...
Awaiting orders, 24/7. My preference is night racing but anytime is fine. I got my grasp on piloting again lol, Burnout's lower perspective made Wipeout's cam look like it was looking straight down at the ground xD.
This is good progress guys. I'm not familiar with all the time zones involved, and I'm not even going to try to work them out. It looks like at the moment you have two that can only do nights though and two that can do any time. If that's the case then I'll have to see if I can get Luxoflux on board, as I think nights for you would be early morning for us, e.g. 2 AM or something, which we can't do this week at the moment. I'll see if Luxo's available and get back to you. If he is then we could be one.
At the same time, if you could see whether you can find two more 'any-timers' that will allow you to have a team of 4 for 8PM-11AM GMT (whatever times that is is your clocks' languages), then that would be helpful.
Im always available after 6pm East in week. Week-ends are always day off for me.
@Saturn
Let's say you want to race at 11pm or midnite GMT, me and my team mates are -5 and -6 GMT. So that would mean 6pm Central and 7pm East :)
Only two different time zones? Well that's not nearly as complicated as I imagined.:redface:
P.S. One of your guys is down with flu today, and another is AWOL. It's looking increasingly likely that it won't happen before Christmas, in which case I'll be gutted for Mad-Ice. But DjManiac is online so maybe we can do a match with him. Would be missing our 2 MVPs but that's life I guess. Will ask him if he's interested.
Back at home, fellas. I should be available during the nights this week. I can try to work something out during the day if I have some notice.
Welcome back Boo. As you can read, we are deciding if we select 4 pilots right away without doing qualifications. Share your advice about this too. :)
Deciding on 4 pilots seems like a good idea to me. It would definitely get things moving quicker. BTW, I have no problem being part of the sub team. I have developed quite a bit of rust over the last week. We should probably try to schedule some practice rounds with the subs vs mains as mentioned before. Let me know.
So guys, are we up tonight? Or tomorrow? Please let me know asap, because if we are not racing tonight I have other things to do.
Greetz Mad-Ice
Saturn mentioned one of your guys have flu and another is AWOL. So it's unlikely the next race will happen before Xmas.
But don't worry, we're getting up the team built soon, and we will be ready for the next race after Xmas hopefully :)
It doesn't look like happening tonight Mad-Ice, so I'd suggest not waiting around. Will check on Flu boy. AWOL guy isn't necessarily needed, but it will mean not having one of our MVPs.
Let's set a time of, say 2100 GMT for Wednesday 23rd and all aim for that. I will check with other Dutchmen.
Can NA do that?
Cool! Thanks for the reply guys. Hopefully see you all tomorrow.
Greetz Mad-Ice
Will keep my fingers crossed Mad-Ice. If I find out it's not going to happen then I'll send you an SMS straight away. If we can't get 4 pilots for both sides, then what do people think of a 3v3? Would people prefer to do that or wait for a 4v4?
