[KGB]

Excellent mate, should be a great race with you . You seem to be getting faster and faster all the time judging by your times.

Cumbrian time is the same as GMT but a lot cooler, so should be around 9:30pm Paris time I think, is that OK?

EDIT: if you like sheep, hills, rain and sex with your relatives it's not too bad

[Nutcase:259]

i Accept your challenge!!!! zero3growlithe

is this challenge separate from my challenge or part of my previous Challenge ;g


yes please don't record it its just embarrassing when you have finished the race and have to spend 10 mins recording a podium screen whilst i drag my crud-mobile around the circuit

[zero3growlithe]

Part of your previous challange ? .... no, i think so

EDIT: awww, sorry... changing...
EDIT 2: erm, hmmm, no... still don't know what you mean <- it's late already so my brain is not keeping up with actual situation

[Dark_Phantom_89]

EDIT: if you like sheep, hills, rain and sex with your relatives it's not too bad

Hahaha!

Thanks ! Im sure it will be fun too, I will do my best to be challenging

Cumbrians time will do perfect , and lol your description sounds like the "blacksheep" movie ->

[Kyonshi]

That is one hell of a ridiculously defensive post. I wasn't attacking you in any way, so don't act like a tit Kyonshi. :/

I also never said I'm amazed you don't like ZB and I never called you an idiot for it. I respect your opinion, and I stated that in my post. What the hell, dude?

Woah, wait a minute, let's put things back in their right places.

First, i didnt felt you were attacking me, and i wasn't defending myself against some kind of attack. I was simply replying to what you said and i stand perfectly calm toward your comment. However i don't agree with what you said, and its not because we're in disagreement that we're at war. I don't agree that you suggest, in the some part of your comment, that i should not pass some comment on ZB on the excuse that a lot of people like it, nor that i accept that i'm being odd or weird, stating my opinion. I don't care if millions of people like Lady Gaga, i still think its the most stinking garbage ever. On the other hand, i don't mind people liking her, everyone got their own tastes. Its the same here. Maybe the fact that i "over-justified" my position looked like i was uber-pissed off and wanted to tear everything around to ruins. I acknowledge that and again, if offended people, it wasn't meant to be. There's this thing on the internet that we can't see people facial expressions or voice tone, often resulting in first degree interpretation of comments. I wasn't angry at anyone, i swear.

Where do you take that i felt i was called an idiot or that you called me this?? I never raised this idea ever! When i say people are amazed or stupified that i don't like ZB, i'm just being sarcastic, but not mean. I'm sure i'm the only one in the world who doesn't like this mode. So obviously, i stand apart and maybe look very "odd" in the whole lot who likes ZB. But that doesn't mean i am, and that doesn't mean i can't say anything in opposition to others about that. Now i know you never said you we're amazed that i don't like ZB, i wasn't referring to any individual in particular nor you, but only to the different encounters i had with some players about this matter.

I know that i have incisive opinions and that i don't screw around stating them, but i'm far from wanting to fight people. I hope everything is clarified that i don't have any intention on bashing on people nor you, Jav.

[Nutcase:259]

Part of your previous challange ? .... no, i think so

Lol its just that you said that you challenge me to a challenge as if to suggest that this challenge ( Your challenge )was separate from my previous challenge ( how many times can i say challenge in a sentence )

Either way i accept
...well i think i have, thats cleared that up! XD

PS pihrana has no wins AT ALL??? A real tragedy, i will try my damnest to put atleast a 1 by there name

[Challenger #001]

Jav, Kyonshi, everyone... please.

I don't want the thread I created to get hit by the mods, so I'll say this as a last resort. If you want to argue with me or each other, take it to Private Messages please.

Kyonshi, yes your challenge was set before I picked Syncopia, so if anyone takes up on your offer of a race, you can use Amphiseum. But from now on it has to be Syncopia. I understand not many people like the idea of Zone Battle, but then isn't that the same with all of us? I could easily enrage Yeldar by having the default track as Rapier Talon's Junction, or DP by making it obligatory to do the final track in another ship.

Green Races were ACE-FLO's brainchild and I've spoken at length with him over it - I think it's a nice idea but I hate green races myself. I'm not big on Eliminators either, but if someone accepts my challenge with one of those I like to think I'd put having a good time with another good wiper before what 'I' want to do. I'm playing to the setup that kanar made, whereby you accept what you have to play with and play the hand you get. I don't see F1 drivers refusing to race because of a wet track because it's not what they signed up for. De La Rente would be ashamed of you as a FEISAR pilot.

So sorry about this Kyonshi, but my word is final for the rest of November. Every standard race is a Zone Battle on Syncopia, Target 50. If you don't want to do it, then don't set any challenges here. As easy as that. ^^

Jav, I appreciate you standing up for me, but take it to private messages please... keep it cool here. If you'd rather guys, I could ask for the thread to be locked for a while until we've all had a bit of cool down time.

Zero, Nutcase, KGB and Hacenetchik... would you guys all mind making nice pretty setups for your posts? Means I can keep a better record when I go to make the 'Archive' thread. And the more the merrier for the more 'ignored' teams. ^^ EG-X, Piranha, Auricom and Triakis need love as well... well, maybe not Auricom.

Given the lack of response to some of the challenges, I think I'll throw down the gauntlet. Prepare for the Rematch...

I accept Dark_Phantom_89's Challenge

Edit: One more thing if we need another discussion topic - what does everyone think about giving a 2v2 challenge thread a go at some point? Bonus points if your teams are allies as in my team profiles.

Challenger, i was referring to my last challenge proposal when i said "I don't wanna do ZB". I never ordered or forced you to remove the ZB standard race, as i already mentioned. Its not what "I" wanna play, im not trying to impose the rules to all due to some kind of egocentric desire from me, jesus! It is just my own preferences, im only proposing. If no one would have responsed to my challenge because of this for 50 years, then so be it. If someone wouldn't do Green races against me, then fine, i won't push it. Its as simple as that.

No one is subjected to the conditions of my challenge and has the legitimate right to tell me, like i'm not forced to comply either. But for the general rules, i'm not trying to confront them. Why am i being seen like the big bad guy who thinks the world revolves around him? Because i don't wanna do ZB? I simply don't like them!!! And even there, if you remember, i still gave it a try against you. I'm not completely that kind of close-minded guy, no?

Anyway, once i do the challenge with Twitchy, i won't post here again, like i already announced.

[QjonPL]

I await a challenge!

I will fly the AG-Systems

My tracks will be:
Phantom Race @ Vineta K fwd, Weapons On

Phantom Race @ Metropia rev, Weapons On

there was once a 2v2 league and it was hugely successfull im sure having a casual 2v2 thread may bring back some old teams. be warned though have a look at some of these teams of giants here

Green Races were ACE-FLO's brainchild and I've spoken at length with him over it [/I]

Ace3cube I think, ACE-FLO had a different opinion .

[Challenger #001]

Aaah. He told me that was his idea over video chat... ah well. XD
