"Bling Brigade" Volunteers

[Sch@dows]

So, who in charge of the european event and when will it start ? Moriarty79 ? UnluckyForSome ? stoneygate ?
(I know i'm not in the 8 listed above but if some of them couldn't make it ... i will gladly take their spot n_n)

[stoneygate]

Okay, I'll put my hand up and help to organise a Euro BB session.

[Worldwide invited but obviously close time zones help]

The current list kindly created by our friends "down under" has been amended and is as follows;

1 rivit -UK
2 AJ-3 - UK
3 Moriarty79 - Italy
4 Spece2goin - France
5 stoneygate - UK
6 robbobaggins - UK
7 UnluckyForSome - UK
8 lord-ropinton - UK
9 Schumi_77 - France

Post back or PM me with confirmation of spelling (including where upper or lower case) and suggestions for when this can happen. I'd imagine a weekend is better.

Thanks to Kiwiatlarge and others I understand the PS3 chat system better now so I can get a chat room going at the time with invites.

Lets get this **** weirdo trophy done and out of the way - and please allocate enough time to ensure everyone present gets their turn.

MP sent.

The French name for this trophy has been mis-translated, because "Brigade Aveugle" means "Blind Brigade".

It's ok for this week end.
From saturday evening to sunday evening.
The best time for me is near sunday at midday.
Bye

Go for it Schumi_77 (we do not live far from each other i'm in 77 too), it's not possible for me this week, i'll try it later...

BTW : do you have to finish the race? then first one must wait others... (well i'm no more that slow, but my brother is...)

Thank you. Count on me to help you next time.

Good luck with event guys... I'm glad to say I finally got it last night. In the end several of my PSF friends rallied around me, plus Shiven came back to race with me, and BlackWiggle and Kigo found a couple of friends to help..

We even rounded the night out with a tournament where one of the extra guys and bw both kicked butt.... lol

It wasn't all plain sailing though.. as for the first two or three individual races somebody didn't have the skin on, so I started the room from scratch and got everyone with silver skins with 6 people from my friends list, and I think the other two from the wipeout forums via bw... so somewhere in there something went wrong, but we worked it out eventually, lol..

So, I can't emphasise enough... it seems so simple, but communication is the key.. with the improvements to the wipeout lobby, and the ps3 chat system it should be a very simple trophy to get (in theory, lol) took me 4 organised nights to get it though, and it was almost humbling that all 7 people took part just for me to get that trophy.

1. Organise a PS3 chatroom, that way everyone can communicate with everyone... Unfortunately the two not on my list weren't in the chat, but someone managed to let the one without the silver skin know and they changed it for the 4th race I think.

2. Make sure everybody knows why they are there, and they need the skins on... again, seems so simple, but both nights I was involved in where there were 8 in the racing there were unsuccessful races because somebody didn't have the right skin.

3. Obviously keep the room to friends only, or invite only... obviously it becomes very difficult if randoms pop in... until such day as you can label rooms "Bling Brigade only" like a FPS game.. You can invite people who aren't on your list, it just makes the communication harder... I'd have readded a couple more to my list, but I didn't want to jinx things, seeing as I got my connectivity back.

4. Keep it to single race only

5. If you have multiple people trying to get the trophy, try and get everyone to agree to the same etiquette... It is annoying for those who couldn't make the first race to miss out, because 4 or 5 people ran after they got the trophy... again, using the chatroom you can organise how many need to drop off, and agree who will do it.
