when was the last time u jumped with joy when you picked up 'rockets'?
or 'mines'?
or finished a race 2nd or 3rd?
or felt butterflyes in u stomach wondering if u gonna make it thru the race?
and for the younger wipers that never played The_Original wipEout:
was it really that hard?
or is it just that these 'old dudes' can't race? huh?
(u seen that movie? 'old dudes can't race' LOL! )
if u been spending sleepless nights lately asking u self these Qs - read on!
otherwise .. read it anyway!
this challange was gonna b called 'wo1 on wo3'. y? well ..
some months ago I got the idea of this challange - on a poll about what view
ppl use, the cockpit was used by no1, as far as I remember, exept for showing of
for friends and by my self to give my kidbro/friends an edge when linking 2 psx'
so I won the phantom tournament driving from the the cockpit - it was pretty ez ..
so I tryed to make it harder:
1st I used the feisar craft - stil ez
then I took away some weapons - autpoilot, quake, energi wall, reflector and so on
thEn I got the idea to use only wo1 weapons!!
that is - rockets, missiles, mines and shield. what a splendid idea!
u no I'm allways bitchin about the autopilot and all the unnesesary weapons
added to The_Game! and how ez it has become, sayig 'it was better b4!' like (old)ppl say. (^_^)
btw some week ago somebody here said:
'I finnaly beated the ice track, Silverstream, on wo1 after 3 YEARS!'(applause) (^,^)//
anyway all of this happened couple of months ago and then after 2-3 tournaments
it got ez to win again so now, today, I thought let's make it even more difficult
by taking the ship with less shields - the assegai that also happens to be
the 1 with the most obstructive view (just a coinsidence but .. a good one hehe),
and forbidding to pit - there was no pitlane in wo1 right? so there u got 'wo1 on wo3'!
Also I thought it should b a ONE TIME EVENT! that means:
you can play this challange ONLY ONCE! then u hAve to send whatever result u got!
that's good coz it's gonna b like a 'real' season ( 8 races) and it wont take
more than 20-30 min. AND pilots won't get the chance to get used to the cockpit view.
so I satt my @ss down and begun raceing!
when I came to the 3rd track(SR) something happened I wanted to share with u guys so
I thought 'we should write a line or 2 about each track' so it gets more interesting
than just the final score and place! 'right! so after every race I wrote more and more
about the points, the shield, the adversarys, thoughts about next race and so it became
.. like a .. 'pilots diary'!
at the end when i read it it was very cool so I thought lets include this as a part
(not competitive f'cource - there's no 1st place for best diary!) of the challange
and see the pilots' hopes, feelings and thoughts b4 and after the race or for example
in the middle or at the end of the season!
so this is the not so short explanation of the name of this challange. now ..
I present to you:
----------------------------
the PILOTS DIARY challange!!! \(",)/ \(,")/ \\(",) (,")// 3,2,1 .. (^,^)/~~ ((((m'_')m
--------------------------------
THE RULES!
----------------------------
1. Only 'wo1 weapons' are allowed - rockets, missiles, shield and mines
all the others u gotta disscard so prepare to use that square button aLOT!
2. Use the cockpit view Only - go to game options and change the view there!
3. No visits to the pitlane.
4. No boost(thrust)!!
this is a very intuitve 'weapon' and even an unintentional tappin the boost can
'cause u' to win so in order to b sure go to the controller setting menu and CHANGE place
between the boost and the change view buttons from R1 to the TRANGLE then R1 will become
change view. that way even if u boost by misstake u'll just change to external view.
then ofcource u gotta tap as quickly as u can R1 twice to get back inside the cockpit!
5. write a diary after each race with some own thoughts and feelings for thAt moment.
u should include at least top 3 of the tournament table and if something exiting happens
under the race even the race score(that one is up2u).
take a look at my entry - u'll get the idea.
6. use the assegai craft.
7. This is a ONE TIME event - u race it ONCE then submit the final standing place and points.
change the settings of the game and controller. sit down fo a moment and try to burn
the rules into your mind - assegai, wo1 weapons, no pitlane, no boost and drop a line. ez right?
-----------------------
needless to say - be honest, no cheating! play this once then post it!
seems to b alot of rules but there r not that many really - after u changed the settings
as said above all u gotta do is read the last line on rule nr 7!
GOOD LUCK PILOTS!
.. u'll need it! (^_^)
