I'm here and ready. Only got this trophy, AG Assassin and Zone Zeus to go now...

EDIT: You should add the time zone to avoid any confusion... just noticed you're GMT +10

**EuphoricActivity** · 5th July 2009, 12:56 PM

Ok, I'll add you. I was thinking gmt (I think?) which is my 2am. I'm confusing myself with the timezones. Anyways, let's make it 4pm GMT today (sunday the 5th). Try again!

**EuphoricActivity** · 5th July 2009, 05:26 PM

Right, well I got the time wrong a little, but we still managed to get about 5 campaign skins. Some good racing but! How about we all organise another one. Can anyone do friday?

**sny** · 5th July 2009, 05:46 PM

Oh god, I'm not sure if I should be telling this, but...

The run in which you gave up, there were only silver skin guys... me and AmigoJack got our trophy.

Oh well, since you helped me get it, I'll drop by in the next scheduled run should you need a player.

**Futurespect** · 5th July 2009, 06:15 PM

I have two friends from another forum who'd also like Bling. So that might be three of us to join the next meet. Can anyone do a GMT evening?

**Handmadelion** · 5th July 2009, 06:35 PM

You really only need two people to get this trophy. One of you needs to host (so you can spam your start button to keep delaying the race when you get on up to 5-8 players) and the other needs to message all those players that join in quick text messages. "Doing bling brigade" or something. And when they confirm or leave to make way for people that will eventually confirm, the second person messages the host saying "we're good to go" and then he starts it. There's your trophy. Even if someone d/c's, DNF, or leaves. It took me an hour or two, but that doesn't seem so bad for those of you not making any progress.

This is a wonderful organizer, I agree. But you do not "need" it to get your trophy.

Oh rly? I always tried to view the starting grid if everybody gots silver, but I wasn't sure. Didn't recognize that it worked, cos I got my trophy already

Anyway, I'll help every day on GMT 16:00 to 21:00, just notify me soon enough, best with any messenger (because I don't have my PS3 everyday online and also don't watch these forums that often).

**EuphoricActivity** · 6th July 2009, 02:40 AM

Oh dear, that's slightly depressing. How could I miss that? Well, if anyone is on tonight I'd love to give it another shot. How's same time (5pm gmt) for some good races and a trophy?

**Chobii** · 6th July 2009, 11:00 AM

I would love to join tonight, to bad i got work untill 8 pm CET (1+ GMT). So if we could schedule for a wee bit later im on! My PSN is the same as my nickname here so feel free to add

.

Tried to get it last night with randoms. The best run everybody had the chromeskin but one left with 2 laps left to go, nearly throwed the PS3 out the windom

EDIT: I will add some of you to my buddy list and hope you accept me

**breadhead** · 6th July 2009, 02:23 PM

Missed this on Sunday as got caught up watching the Tennis

Will maybe be about tonight though (hopefully) PSN: breadhead

Cheers!

**EuphoricActivity** · 6th July 2009, 05:22 PM

Ok, so after plenty of good races (and CERTAIN people not using the skin

we got it finally. Thanks to everyone! Now, who's up for the huge task of organizing a big fat WZ tournament?

**AmigoJack** · 6th July 2009, 05:39 PM

WZ tournament? Ask Mad-Ice about that, he wanted to organize one for every nation. But I never saw a thread about that and I'm not up to date with that...

BTW: the races also had an advantage for me: now I got all the craft skins

**sny** · 6th July 2009, 06:46 PM

Happy times for all of us I guess, then, since I got AG Assassin right after the bling runs.

Now only 6 zones left to improve until Zeus...

**Chobii** · 6th July 2009, 07:19 PM

Why oh why did i have to work late this day =( . Guess its me and breadhead left. Would apprciate some help tho =) . What about tomorrow at 20.00 gmt +1?

**vsmol** · 6th July 2009, 07:58 PM

Ok, so when you are going to make event where you are getting this trophy just send me a message in PSN

PSN: VSmoL

**SalvoStorm** · 6th July 2009, 08:12 PM

I'm looking for a Bling Brigade race, send me a race invite when you're getting one started, thanks!

PSN: SalvoStorm
Seattle, WA, USA GMT-7

**Handmadelion** · 6th July 2009, 08:12 PM

Why, I should be glad to help you fellows out. I wasn't even "planning" on bumping into Euphoric, and I ended up being the 7th or 8th seat in the race that got him bling. So if it's convenient, I'll gladly assist.

@SNY; I think it was Sebenco F, I was feeling so confident up there alone in first. But wait! I was not in first. It just felt like it cause I "knew I had a lot of cars behind me, and I was all alone. But I looked at my little race list, and saw you were way in first! That really put it into me to hustle and even then I still only got as close as to "seeing" your craft by the time the race was over. Very good pilot.

And when I boosted beside Euphoric for the first place finish. Could have swore he won and I was already going "Ohhh man" when I registered in as first. That must have been lag, or 0.10th a second. Eat your heart out photo finish.

**breadhead** · 6th July 2009, 08:46 PM

I managed (finally) to get the trophy earlier thanks to Euphoric, I'll be happy to join in other attempts for people to get their bling on but I have a wife to keep happy which means limited WO time!

**Chobii** · 6th July 2009, 08:51 PM

Schedule the race for 23.00 gmt+1, tomorrow wensday due to americans. Will be online all evening tho. send a msg if u want to race.

Thanks, but unfortunately Seb forward and reverse (and possibly Chenghou forward) are the only tracks I _can_ win at the moment on rapier/phantom speed, I just can't pilot my Goteki 45 well enough yet to compete with all the Icaras ships out there. So I've a long way to go still.

Oh, and I think I know why you thought you were first: sometimes the game lets you off the starting grid sooner or later than the rest of the pilots, so you might see the split timer showing you 16 seconds behind the field when in reality you're second or third with only a second behind. Unfortunately there seems to be no way to tell when this happens, so you'll only learn your true position once the results screen pops up.

Anyway, if anyone needs some help in Bling Brigade to fill a spot, drop me a message, I'm usually online from like 17:00-19:00 GMT.
