Wipeout World Cup 2009

[SaturnReturn]

P.S : mistake in my skin too ^^ (i use blue skin most of the time)

Ahem! Mine too, Osama. You seem to think I go for the magic invisible skin . You still bitter that I shunned Team England?

[Greenix]

wow, very nice Osama

Lucoflux?

[KGB]

ima_gin_e: Who is Collin?

Haydn, that's a brilliant video, while you have been getting everyone's skin wrong you have managed to get me in the wrong ship entirely , still i think I look quite good there, sat on the start line.......brooding.........waiting.......thinking who is going to eliminate me next.

Darkdrium777: I will put you on the list, do you know any other Canadians that want in?

[KIGO1987]

As mentioned in the videos thread Ive made a trailer to try and rekindle some interest in this thing

@ima_gin_e
read through the thread a bit. most your concerns have been brought up, though decissions have been lacking.....

Good video though I noticed the concluding scene on that video, that the audio was from Crash Bandicoot 3 nice one.

Thats my Pulse ship though lol. I would only really need to use it in HD on that Sol2 track.

In HD when i use Goteki45, i use the 3rd skin. when i use EG-X i use the 2nd skin, and when im flying around in Triakis i use the 2nd skin.

So what is the latest update on TEAMs? KGB, where is your list?

By the way,the person who coined the phrase "It's Wipeout,We Race We Die" was Nadia Elenova.
Got to give credit where it's due.

Crash Bandicoot 3.... just before the level loads Tiny Tiger's face talks to you in that blue swirly vortex. Wow that seems so long ago ^^

[OBH]

alright i got a fair bit wrong.... it was kinda filling gaps at the end!!!
still, was done when i had no internet for a while, still pretty good guessing!

illl do a proper team based one if it gets moving

[Darkdrium777]

I am NOT a gap filler. Please treat everyone equally.

I think a poll is the only way any of us are going to come to any sort of agreement and actually get this thing off the ground.

Cut the options to 4 basic ones that have been proposed,and take the one that gets to 50 votes first.

Apart from a core group within the Wipeoutzone, there doesn't really seem to be that many that are very interested in participating in the decision making process on how this WC should be organized.

I've posted the proposed concept of a WC at the Aus/Nz Playstation forum a few weeks ago and didn't even get one response,or general query regarding it.
The silence was deafening and I can only conclude that it holds no interest to those that visit that forum.

Hopefully once an agreement has been made on the operational structure of the WC interest will pick up.
I'm just getting a general apathetic vibe ATM concerning the whole thing.
A sort of "Well you guys organize it and I MIGHT participate if I can be bothered" or "I don't think I'm good enough to race in a WC" response.

It has been construed as something solely for the Elite class racers by many HD players from the messages I've received,hence their understandable reticence in participating.

I don't know what can be done to cater for the less technically proficient pilots,but this needs to be addressed so it seems more appealing to them and get them involved,they are after all in the majority.

I have just this moment had a EUREKA moment on how we could rank players without the need for qualifiers.
Have everybody that wants to race in the WC put all their times for everything into Connavars records site,then use the rankings from the site to sort racers into ability groups.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Please count me in to represent the USA! I promise to do my best not to embarrass my country or myself!

[Constrictor]

The teaser/trailer brought me here: I want to, wait - have to be in!

But what team could I join?

a) Germany
b) German speaking racers (Danterich, Mateo, are you in?)
c) Most senior W'O'' racers (I think I'm very close to the top )

[blackwiggle]

I'll be 49 April 25th,I think only Lance and one other are older.

I love HD,keeps me going.
It got rather boring trying to rope people in to race against with 2097,WO3 and Fusion,can't blame them,getting thrashed is not something you would want to do regularly.

At least I have some people better than me to race against now.

LOVE IT.

[rdmx]

I hardly play online but I was hoping I'd get name checked in the video

[blackwiggle]

EURO centric.

Good video none the less,guess I can't blame Hayden for exclusions,the video would of gone on for ages.+1

[Mad-Ice]

That is one sweet and hot teaser! Lovin' it!

[KIGO1987]

Crash Bandicoot 3.... just before the level loads Tiny Tiger's face talks to you in that blue swirly vortex. Wow that seems so long ago ^^

Yes long time. First time i beat Tiny on Crash3 was 10years and 2months ago now. Good old days

Naughty Dog buy back this franchise now! before this great game of the 90s go to complete ****.

I am NOT a gap filler. Please treat everyone equally.

You got fuking owned bad... Haydn did fuk up a bit there i gotta say honestly. You can always get back and create a new Wipeout World Cup video featuring every player in the know Wipeout universe minus Haydn

Stop typing large posts Blackwiggle. You are giving me headaches reading them all the times. lol.

Good idea though, we could put that into action.

Right.

So players skills will be split up in to skill cataglories?..

Elite very skilled players.
GROUP A
Mid Range players.
GROUP B
Newbie and not phantom players
GROUP C

This way we can solve very big teams with too many player.

They can organise this on there social groups, because im ****ed if i will, too much time is involved. Right now im going to talk with fellow members of my Social Group "TEAM AN-NZ" to see where we can organise these players in our area.

To get this idea going, each social group will have to organise there own thing first.

[EPSILON]

Yeah Osama, Very Good Trailer

I Edit my firt post of this thread to include it ^^

But I admit that the English Language is a problems for me and for the organization of this World Cup and to discuss with you

Especially when there is a long long post....

I'm agree with this repartition ^^

Lot of pilots can participate and it was a good news to have a maximum players for this event.

[rdmx]

Then it's settled! We clone a nocturnal version of darkdrium777 for french->english translation purposes!

[KGB]

I must be seeing things through sleep deprivation, have we actually agreed on something.

Still a slight problem with this i am afraid, we have only 6 countries with a group of 4 or more pilots, if there are 3 groups then that is 2 in each, which would mean everyone is in the final! Hooray!!!!

The list of participants are on page 10.

[blackwiggle]

It seems we have.
Use Connavars website where people have entered their records in.
That is used as a basis of ranking.
Each player/racer is/should be with an individual country[the flags are there]

You race in the rank that the filters give you.

Easy,everybody can see where you rank.

Points given to the country you race for against others in your same rank.

Divide the amount of players for one country with points achieved.

It would have to be no more than one player from each country in each race.

Each player would race in their division,on each of the 16 tracks ,both with and without weapons.
A tournament would be unfair I think,major reason why is that the winner of the previous race would automatically be placed at the rear of the field.
Each race would have to be raced as a single event.
Pot Luck as for grid positions
