Team Nordic vs. The Flying Dutchmen

[machiasu]

I'm available too!

[mic-dk]

Confirmed for Sunday. Looks like there's a queue forming for getting a chance to...

[Soccermom]

I am game as well

[Mad-Ice]

The 22th I am not able to make it! That sucks big time guys. I really would have want to be there for the first time we are going to race as a team.

Well maybe the first time is possible if the team can come together as we first agreed on the 21th on saturday afternoon at 13:00 hours. I still hope we can come together for this first race of The Flying Dutchmen.

[SaturnReturn]

I certainly hope it´s 2009 and not 2008

I can assure you sir I have no idea what you are talking about

Mad-Ice, sorry to hear that. But yes, hopefully a good few of us can race on the 21st. It should be fun. Even without you we should still have a full team for the 22nd - and a pretty good team at that.

JJPAP - At the moment we don't have enough dutch players to race all Team Nordic. If we are still only four by the weekend how do you want to play it? Player rotation? I'll let you sort it out from your side if it comes to that. Cheers.

[AnErare]

Mad, I'm available the entire weekend.

[JJPAP]

For SaturnReturn:
There´ll be 4 Team Nordic-wipers.
Members of Team Nordic are having a qualification-match thursday night. Friday I´ll let you know, who´s participating for Team Nordic.
So it´ll be "Full House": 4 Team Nordic-wipers vs. 4 Team "The Flying Dutchmen"-wipers.
So I think 2 8-races tournaments (1 Forward/1 Reverse) would be apropiate.
Or maybe 2 12-races tournaments (both tournaments a mixture of forward and reverse tracks).
Phantom. Weapons On.
Let the war begin .

[FrenkyV]

Add me on the dutch team, im interested

[Mad-Ice]

Hi there FrenkyV, check your private messages. You are most welcome to our team. Maybe you can race on saturday afternoon at 13:00 h, for the first time when our team will race together.

Fixed it for you

Let the thrash talk begin

[JJPAP]

"The Flying DutchGIRLS"-wipers

Soccermom: I´m sure you meant whiners, not wipers.

[Soccermom]

Fixed






(this is gonna backfire SO much)

[AnErare]

lol

Go on

[SaturnReturn]

I'm not really in the mood for trash talking right now as I'm far too happy after kicking chaos80's arse in tournament just now.

Also:

FrenkyV - Currently we have a full dutch team but you're welcome to join if we get enough before the weekend for a second pool. Currently I don't feel we have enough players to have dutch qualifying for this match as it would leave 1 person left out. I know I sure wouldn't want to be that person and I wouldn't want any of the others already confirmed to be that person either.
I hope you can race in the Saturday dutch meet and join The Flying Dutchmen group too, as Mad-Ice says, you're very welcome.

JJPAP - I'm thinking maybe host single races. With all the network issues recently I worry that tournaments can easily be ruined if a player loses connection for a moment.

Good idea!
So how many races and which kind of races, do you think would be apropriate to have a fair end-result?

[SaturnReturn]

I think all of them is the only option. Half hosted by the Dutch and half by your lot.

[AnErare]

Good idea, that should work just fine.

For us flying dutchgirls to kick yous Nordicks off from the tracks

It doesn't matter who is hosting. WOHD is server based and it would be my guess that there is only one server cluster in EU.

[SaturnReturn]

Ideally I would do it 2 races each as I'm sure being host gives you an advantage, but that would be a lot of effort. So as it's a team game half each seems fair, to suit the superstitious among us.

[Soccermom]

I am fine with catering to your superstition

However, consider the example of joining a CS, TF2, quake, etc server as an admin - it doesn't give you any ping advantage. Same principle here (provided WOHD is server hosted). Your ping time will be dependent on your distance and routing to the server.
