North American Team WO Team

[TheFrostE]

what a blast tonight guys! thanks for the invite and im glad to join the three of you on the main team piloting my feisar baby . i drove home super fast from my friends house after getting the msg on HIS ps3 while drinking and enjoying the company of my brother and friends lol. i actually filmed it driving home..ill have to upload.

[RedScar]

Awesome racing Kyonshi, L&P, Mjolnir (don't throw the controller just yet), and Vart (even if you do hack ). I haven't had that much fun racing online in awhile .
That said the Bombs and Mines were INSANE, flying behind any of you is bad for my health, I broke my plastic chair mat by bashing my foot into it .

I'm happy I made main but I know it was pure luck at certain cases. Kyonshi, L&P, or Mjolnir could have easily have won it.

Lets get another tourney going either for bragging rights or if new NA users join and wanna chance before Sept/WWC.
I know I'm no where near close to being the fastest in NA, looking at you Dark777 (hope RL going well) and others.
Thx a lot Vart and TCK for setting this up, once we picked a format it was great fun.

Looks like I have to start playing WOHD more, get some more practice to catch up to TheFrostE, TarotCardKiller, and Vartazian. Time to take a break from WoW anyway.

See you out on the track

[Vartazian]

Hey if I WAS Hacking , I would of had a perfect 128 now wouldnt I?

[Kyonshi]

It was indeed awesome to compete against you guys. I had fun even if i consider having been destroyed 3 times and faced countless shooting weapon hazards while i was first...Grrrrr God i was over-heating I wish so bad i had made it to the main team. Since i started playing WipEout games i dreamed of taking part in a big championship

@TCK

There's a Mexican guy who's ruthless on the racetrack and its CoatlKetzal. He's a solid one and without a doubt could make it to the main team if that would happen again.

[RedScar]

Well you don't wanna make it obvious now do you Vart. I see your mental games. I was able to beat you a couple times during the first 8 which we didn't record, and L&P rocked that CP run we didn't count. PROOF, now I see why you "forgot" to record the numbers
jk jk


or am I?

[Vartazian]

Oh Shi- IM BUSTED. Yeah lol, well I even ackknowledged the losses.... But I can see what you meant, I owuld be about 8 or 10 shourt of perfect if we counted round 1. I really didn forget to record the first 8 ='(

Heres a banner I made for our country when we sign up, I threw it together. Hope you guys like it!

If you guys want me to make a better one I gladly will. This was just a small idea that I wanted to throw together in 5 minutes.

[silverfoxy]

After following TCK around for many races last night and having raced Vartazian many times before I can see you have the makings of a cracking team there.

[TarotCardKiller]

FrostE - Let me know when you upload that video =]

I actually have CoatKetzal on my list. He told me ketzal meant snake; I didn't know he was Mexican though. I'll see if I can get him on the forum. and you need to take a picture of that plastic chair mat RedScar. It'd be cool to see the destruction WO causes. =D

That banner looks good. Slap a cowboy hat on the AGS and you're good to go =]. j/k you don't have to

[Vartazian]

Suit up Pilots! We got our first challenge on our hands!

Assuming they Accept...

Team : North America

VS

Team : Australia

Lets Not Lose our first match aight guys? Lets Make our team proud!

[LOUDandPROUD]

Yah, that was a great time last night, guys...even if I'm a bit embarrassed by the fact I just snuck into the last spot as a sub. My consistency is horrible! Anyway, great racing to you all and congrats to those who made the team, either as a main or a sub. Thanks to the hosts/organizers, as well!

@ Kyonshi - Don't fret, you could still end up piloting on the main team...I mean, you just never can tell when one of the current mains might encounter an untimely "accident"...bwah-ha-ha.

[TheFrostE]

hey vartazian...wheres the feisar in that banner!?!?

and what is the date for first match...i have work mon-fri. 5:30 am-2:00pm est.
so i have nights and weekends off.

[Feisar31]

Excellent racing last night! It was tough competition with 9 other great pilots, and I'm just glad to get the spot I did. Still, I wish that first tournament had counted, even though it was a fluke. Congratulations again to our main 4. I like our chances with them come September.

AFAIK this was mainly for the WWC qualification: for other one-off matches we should definitely give others like BlochNWhitey a chance to play or qualify. I was thinking that someday we could try a monster 8v8 match against another Wipeout nation: the top 4s and the bottom 4s face off for the most points total. It might be a little tricky to set up, but if it's on a weekend I'm sure it would be possible.

Thanks again to TCK and Vartazian for organizing everything (or trying to ).

[DividedXZero]

Man i tried so hard and so quite a few mishaps..but again i'm glad i at least made a sub. I've been playing around with a banner for the NA team...but had some issues and problems with the "right" look. I avoided using any ships just because different pilots use different ships. (i saw feisar, icaras, goteki45, piranha..etc)

But i was trying to incorporate all flags/colors from all 3 countries of the NA team.

[Vartazian]

I would of Put a Mexican Flag into the Banner but there is 2 reasons I didnt

1: we dont have any official Mexicans ont he team and

2: theres technically 40+ countries in North America, cant include them all.

I put the AG Systems in there for the Red/White (Canada) and the Auricom for Red/White/Blue (duh The United States).

I put them on opposite sides for the "Contrast" factor.

[DividedXZero]

I see your point on the mexican flag..
But i thought NA team was decided to be Canada/US/and Mexico...
That's why i took that approach with it.
I love where you went with the AG/Auricom color scheme...
But i just didnt want to favor any ship team in the creation of the NA logo

[Vartazian]

I dont think its Favouring a ship so to say. Just MAtching the color scheme. I know a good chunk of out team used AG SYS anyways.

Hell if we were in Europe I would be using the Feisar. Africa, Assegai, So on and so on...

If you dont like the Banner Ill take it down. but It was just something I thought the team would Appreciate.

[Kyonshi]

Actually, North America includes Canada, USA AND Mexico. Any countries further down are considered part of Central America. Then when you get at Colombia's boundaries, its considered South America.

I think that's what my geography classes showed me

[DividedXZero]

If you dont like the Banner Ill take it down. but It was just something I thought the team would Appreciate.

I'm sorry if you feel I dislike it or I'm criticizing it...
Just expressing creative thoughts and different views/apporaches to the NA logo.

(And IT IS appreciated)

[TarotCardKiller]

Easy boys.

AFAIK this was mainly for the WWC qualification: for other one-off matches we should definitely give others like BlochNWhitey a chance to play or qualify. I was thinking that someday we could try a monster 8v8 match against another Wipeout nation: the top 4s and the bottom 4s face off for the most points total. It might be a little tricky to set up, but if it's on a weekend I'm sure it would be possible.

I like your idea about the 8vs8 tourney. If we can get all 16 pilots available at once then I'm sure it'll be fun. We can hold different tourneys before other matches like Feisar31 mentioned. I'll leave that up to you guys to decide; that would include more North American Tourneys which would definitely be fun =D. If there is a lot of interest then we can do that. Let me know.

We might be able to start a new kind of tournament if the feedback is good. Here is a Grand Tour match outline using 4 pilots from each team. The idea is to use both Weapons/No Weapons and create unique events while minimizing lag. Just in case you can't understand the diagram, I'll explain here as well.
http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b3...g?t=1247010264
There will be a total of 32 races.

At first, the nation teams will split up into teams of 2 and have 8 track tourneys simultaneously. One 2vs2 group will race 8 tracks with weapons while the other 2vs2 group races 8 tracks without weapons. The 8 tracks with weapons will be all forward tracks while the 8 tracks without weapons are the reversed tracks or vice versa.

The second part of the tourney will be an all out 4 vs 4 race to the finish on all 16 tracks with weapons. After all 32 races are over, the team with the most amount of points will win.

This will help make a well-rounded tourney. If my math is right, there are 464 available points in the 4vs4 tourney with an additional 368 in the doubles part. In case you feel you'll have a bad run in the 4vs4 races, you can make up for it in the 2vs2 part. You can use this to your advantage by strategically picking which event a pilot races in. This will take little longer to organize but in the end, there will be less lag, less vista pads, and more fun.

What do you guys think ? Any questions?

[Vartazian]

I love it TCK.

We would need to Strategically Decide who we want where though. As Determined b our Qualifiers. We definatley excell in Weapon Events!

Ill gladly help you organize this tournament if you so decide you need the help. hopefully we get off on a better foot this time. We know what happened last time....

Now we just have to pick the Roster.
