"Bling Brigade" Volunteers

Count me in ^_~

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.

11am GMT stands for 1pm (13:00) in France despite GMT+1 because of the DST (Daylight Saving Time or "Heure d'été" as we call it here).

Time differences always leave me confused!, however, I have a friend living in Italy and his time is one hour ahead of UK. I agree with your comments about GMT.

I will be ready for 11am in UK and hope our French & Italian racers will be ready at 12am their time.

[Sch@dows]

Just to be sure (if you have correctly configure your timezone and dst settings in your user control panel), I send the current post at 4:07PM (16:07) ... French time.

PS : does UK use DST ?

[stoneygate]

@Schumi_77

I'm replying soon after your posting and my time is 15.11

UK does have DST and matches mainland Europe now, in that the time change occurs at the same time. Many years ago there was a 2-week gap which just made things even worse!

[Sch@dows]

Ok, it explains my mistake.

So, I'll need to get up early if I dont want to miss the race n_n

[stoneygate]

Nobody's mistake, but it is confusing.

And whaddya mean you'll have to get up early for 12am

[Sch@dows]

you're right, no need to bother with sleep if it's only for a couple of hours ^_^

[stoneygate]

Good news!

I found a similar BB request thread at Official EU Playstation Community forum and proposed linking up. 2 more guys have signed up!

We've got 8!

Now we just need to meet up and get this done. I'm a reluctant host but I have a couple of rules;

1 SILVER/CHROME SKINS - you have Campaign Legend? (Gold in every campaign race).

2 Please, please hang around after the race to make sure EVERYONE has the trophy.

It'll be Anulpha Pass, Venom, 3 laps, no weapons and another run-through will just take a few minutes.

Fingers crossed everyone will be there...

I think bronze medal everywhere is enough, but I have that trophy so it's ok too.

It'll be Anulpha Pass, Venom, 3 laps, no weapons and another run-through will just take a few minutes.

Ok for the track, too bad for the weapon but I will live, but can't we used rapier instead ? I don't want to fall asleep n_n (that was the hardest part in Zico's trophy u_u)

[stoneygate]

@Sch@dows

I'm just being cautious so that no one gets a DNF - we want everyone to finish the race and get this trophy.

I will open a chat room and invite everyone just before 11am, but in any case I'll create the race, Friends only, and wait for all to join.

See you then!

[UnluckyForSome]

best see if we can get a couple more just in case of any no-shows... we can do it 2wice easy

[eschatonman]

Hi all, I've been meaning to get this trophy for a while now, so please feel free to add me... PSN ID: Eschaton-Man

Hope to see you on the track!

p.s. First time poster, loooong time lurker. So, hello!
