The Wipeout HD Cup

heeey, the fkin guys in charge of the firewall at my job blocked definitely my access to wz this morning lol. newgroups/games category GAH. Of course djm1zw1z, I'm signing you in & I'll update the whole stuff tonight anyway. Mago, just answer to the pm I sent you on the ps3, that's why you're still pending. I asked you all some basic infos & sent you the detailed rules in attachment, just answer this pm & you're definitely in.

EDIT : Ok I just made a massive update first post, finally got rid of the insane code & detailed the board matrix wth all the names of the pilots. Blue pill = not confirmed yet. Red pill = ready to fly.

And of course the beauty right here :

Just click on your part of the board, & you'll find all the seeds position. MASSIVE THANKS TO DARKDRIUM777 HERE, this is the sexiest board ever.

fantastic board...credit to DD for a brilliant piece of work..

to all other raptors (the guys/girls who have 32 players each to help out)

I have started up a new group (eagle cloud group)

all its members have been contacted by me who belong here the other will be contacted tommorow.

http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?groupid=61

purpose is to help in organising and making world cup easier


have a look at it.

perhaps create your own group too if it helps you too organise

way I see it is when the cup starts this thread is going to be bombarded and if each group has their own page the raptor can feed all results and information to kanar just to make things a bit better.

just thought i would share...if anyone needs some ideas

many thxs

That a VERY sexy looking board right there.

Falcon...I like it! :g

Yes, the board is excellent! 8) Great job DD (and kanar of course).

I wonder who I'll have to face off against in the Hawk group...

Bloody hell, you'll be lucky to get out of the Merlin group! :O :)

Awesome, I'm one of the Vulture groups :D!

People have seen the big one?

http://b.imagehost.org/t/0704/WipEou...ndComplete.jpg

novide - background, logo (+ panda head?)
kantham - making the background compatible for me (GIMP doesn't do well with .psd files :g)
me - name fields, lines, layout, etc. :D

hmm ill only be able to race my bro if HE makes it to the semi final but i wont be holding my breath for him :P

as for me, kanar should slap a "reserverd for Mr Phlanj" on the 1st place spot :g

edit: nice one dark, novide and kantham :+ it looks sic

Sweet, hawk group

Wow!, nice set up!!

Btw, my wife ordered me to play HD instead of MotorStorm!:cold, if I don`t?, she will punished me severely:cold!!!

stevie:paperbag

So great looking, DD!!! :+

Heey thanks for the feedback guys & gals! Yeah sorry DD777, it was 3am when I finished so I forgot to show the big One. Also I would like to thank you once again, & of course thank kantham for me too. Yeah Panda head is from novide lol, our talented official wohd cup graphic designer eh eh.
Glad you like the boards guys. Next step is to color all the names in red eh eh. Oh and Oryx_Crake (& me when I'll have time) will see what could be done regarding the future challonge board (2nd board visual at challonge.com); maybe it will be possible to add yt links to vids for eg.

Oh I forgot, would like to thank already Jasmin for taking her Raptor duty so seriously lol. As we said, communication will be the key to success so my fellow Raptors don't hesitate to motivate your troops for the cup, by any mean necessary ah ah. Jeez havn't played HD 'til my defeat against Luxo lol. Hope I'll find time for some speed lap today.

Great work! :clap

My end is nigh

That board is AMAZING. So well designed and professional looking - massive kudos to all of you guys. :clap

I'm really looking forward to this.

yeah I was seriously stuned when I saw the final result (the work in progress was already badass, but now OMG). Btw guys, please report any errors in the board compositions or whatever. It was sooo late yesterday when I finished, some copy/errors gremlins are maybe still hidden there. I forgot to report Constrictor4u in his Kestrel group for eg. (fixed), I forgot to register TarquinFarqhuar (he said yes sept 26 gah) and hopefully it's fixed too. But yeah my brain has been really overclocked with the cup these past few days (OMG the drawed numbers transformed to names, took fkin ages) so I hope everything's ok now.

Hi, as I did not follow the complete rules decision process and did not find anything on why eliminator is not allowed (when both opponents have fury add-on) during the cup, is there anyone from the steering committee who is able to clarify - for me ;) ?

btw, rules are ok and no Eliminator is ok w/ me, too. Though a 1 vs.1 eliminator is quite interesting, needs good skills and tactics and is not as quake dependent as in 4+ player races.

Excellent stuff guys:+

Board looks brilliant.
Hopefully once this is over, we can have the big board saved with all the results somewhere on wz for all eternity :)

The big one really shows off the scale of the tournament your trying to achieve :clap

p.s
On a personal note, i like that the 1st seeded players i may come up against are kingheim then JJPAP or TCK.
Wipeout oldies ftw :beer

In my opinion Eliminator games completely ruin the flow of a good 1v1 session. Takes ages and it's dull, imo. :)

@stin
LOL! You better listen to cool lover, she knows what she's talking about...
go go team stindah

To be honest constrictor, we talked a lot about that (eliminator mode), and well we chose to stay on the racing style. ZB integration created already a lot of controversy lol, although it's a fantastic mode, requiring the same amount of skills as single races. I'm not saying eliminator requires no skills, it's just about what I said above, as for the avalon cup, we decided to stay on the racing basis. But, there's still the gentleman's agreement "hidden rules". Not written, but if you're falling against someone you know well, and if you guys are both ok; you're free to customize the default settings like; you're both up to tweak the gameplay, adding some green races or eliminator? go for it. But only if you're both ok. Any other case ===> Default settings aka single race weapons on, single race weapons off, zone battle.
