Kai : Rendez-vous

[q_dmc12]

To answer your first question, yes.

[RJ O'Connell]

Bah, never mind. I'll just wait to set up a connection at my house when Pulse is released.

It was worth a try, though!

[q_dmc12]

We'll be starting earlier tomorrow around 9 or 10 GMT I believe.

perhaps RJ or medusa would like to join

[RJ O'Connell]

Ah. And here I was worried the WifiMax would cost a bloody fortune - MSRP $40 - hot damn I am convinced! (I never even bothered to look, I was so worried of a triple digit tag.)

Good thing a GameStop is just down the road. Literally. I may just be able to get this Kai party going after all, even after I go home...^_^

[Asayyeah]

6.30 am here and 1st day Pure session has ended : Mad Ice went to bed around 2/3 am and we finished Vic Poi & I by 2 descensions.
We started this afternoon Mad Ice & I when we met on kai a new player with great skill named : Raiden we did the whole 28 tracks at 3.
We quit house for my brother's one to have a coucous/alcohol party
at midnight we were back home kai opened to fight at 8 ( 2 groups of 4) with Borell, RR, Dmc, MadIce, Raiden, Vic, Poi and me.

[Sausehuhn]

RJ O'Connell, just did a short search on google and found this. Haven't read trough it but maybe it helps. Good luck

[Mad-Ice]

What a day and what a night. The French team getting me drunk and group together to Wipe me out. Woke up with a hangover from the whiskey they fed me. Now I am doing fine and sober, ready to be kicked again!!!!

We will be on Kai 21:00 hours Le Havre time. See you tonight.

[RJ O'Connell]

Since it's a newer model of the WRT54G I likely need to just man up and purchase a WifiMax instead. But thanks anyway Max.

[Medusa]

perhaps RJ or medusa would like to join 

Yeah I'd love to...my life is a bit crazy and I'm still a newbie to Pure...trying to expand my pure "repertoire" on Rapier before I go back on to Kai. So I can manage to keep up on another track besides Sol 2 (I have just added the gamma pack to said repertoire, only alpha beta gamma right now, lol! I'd better work on beating the AI in my AGS before I go back up against that Scotsman RRA!! I'm too slow for him. And Raiden.)

By the way RJ, I can verify that the Airlink 101 AWLL3026 USB adapter works perfectly with kai (you'll be unable to use it with pulse though). Borell introduced me to kai with some thorough whippings and then Rapier Racer "baptized me with fire"...elimination....

I'd better work on beating the AI in my AGS before I go back up against that Scotchman!! I'm too slow for him. And Raiden.

I might manage to get onto Kai Friday night, if the six hours of driving I have to do beforehand does not kill me.

[Task]

AG Sys?!? Into online multiplayer?!?
Izzy, try out the Goteki. It handles almost as well as the AG Sys, with twice the shields. That should help with your "getting eliminated" problem.

Jack was using an AG Sys when we did our get-together, but he was rarely in anyones sights long enough to be attacked. 8 P

I was flying Tigron or Goteki and still getting eliminated every now and then, but I think my weapon usage (absorbtion rate) has improved significantly since then.

I'm not taking any ship with Shields of 3 or less into multiplayer until I'm a lot better, that's for sure. 8 )

[Flashback Jack]

Yeah, I started out using the Assegai, but I was hooked by the acceleration and handling of the AG. One has to play very defensively with it considering its meagre shielding, but it absolutely tears out of curves.

In other news, I just picked up a DWL-122 off Ebay this afternoon. Hopefully I'll be onto Kai soon. We'll see.

[Asayyeah]

We need canadians in Kai !!

Starting session at 10.00 pm CET

[Rapier Racer]

Damn you RR how can you wipE a lady Out ! that's not a gentleman manner

Whaaaaat lol I forgot it was a girl, really! If I had remembered that...... it would have made no difference

(Attitude advice taken from the Tigron/Triakis book of poor sportsmanship)

[Medusa]

We need canadians in Kai !! 

No kidding! And on the zone too - there isn't even one canadian per province/territory!! Pretty sparse pilot population here. All this wide open space would make some good ones.

"Whaaat lol I forgot it was a girl, really! If I had remembered that...... it would have made no difference "

IT, huh? I am not an object. ROFL! Ahh you guys make me laugh.

So I ventured onto Kai for a bit tonight with those scary fast racers...yikes. But an important night for I won my first race and eliminated my first pilot on Kai. REASONS BELOW:

-Only 2 pilots remained in the race, the others dropped out which left Mad-Ice and I.
-I seemed to go through every bomb and mine due to lag which left them for 007, I'm sure.
-After he lapped me (was it the first or second time??) I quaked him to bits. After which I rebounded from wall to wall until finally crossing the line, the only pilot left, earning my first gold.XD
So now I know, to get gold I must eliminate everyone.

Poor Vic and Poi gave me a tutorial on Altima at Phantom speed. Now I know precisely where to barrel roll and what lines to take, as I watched carefully each time they lapped me

Back I go to practice. I'd better give it a good week of attempting all tracks at least on Rapier...

(Oh and I should say Task, I was using the AGS because it was the only slow speed high handling ship I could handle before on Rapier/Phantom. Now I am trying out Puma 1...I don't like Goteki, but I like cats...I may try Tigron/Triakis much later...)

[Task]

Slow speed, high handling? Did you try Van Uber? The shield strength will make all the difference, should help you out.

I was definitely eliminated far easier in the Goteki than in the Tigron, I'll only fly those low-shield ships in TT mode myself.

I'm planning on spending a lot of time in Rapier this weekend as well.

[q_dmc12]

Sorry I cut out early, my connection just died for a few hours - no appearent reason

[borell]

The last days of racing on kai has been amazing. Great fun to have Matthijs on the tracks.

I will most probably be at home and check if there are pilots on kai sometime around 23 cet tonight.

[Rapier Racer]

Gimmie a shout when you do
