2. The match consists of all 16 tracks. Phantom speed. Weapons On.
3. One team hosts the 8 forward tracks as an 8-races tournament, the other team the 8 reverse tracks as an 8-races tournament.
4. The points of all wipers count.
5. If a wiper disconnects: Just too bad. (Nothing we can really do about it).
6. All participants have to be on each others PSN-friendlist before the match.
7. One wiper from each team will take a snapshot of the screen at the end of each of the 2 8-races tournaments.


Team Nordic awaits you!

[Soccermom]

Awesome JJPAP...
Now those brits just have to find their last racer.

And for everyone already mentioned in the lineup, please confirm your availability for Sunday (I am bringing cookies for everyone).

:banzai

P.S. I hereby confirm my own presence for the race.

[KGB]

I have to be in on this one please. :lol

[Zoth-Ommog]

Confirmed

[OBH]

im there!

cmon lads, still undefeated! :g

[Hellfire_WZ]

Sunday's good for me :)

[Soccermom]

I have to be in on this one please. :lol

Just remember drunk driving is considered doping... just saying :dizzy

[JJPAP]

...

cmon lads, still undefeated! :g ...

Bin (and your sisters as well):
What you´re facing sunday is not some bornean tripe without electricity,
it´s not four drunken cardinals on a sunday morning,
it´s not head-amputated children from Belize - (which is a nice country, by the way).
You´re up against The Ice-Men from the North.
You´ll soon enough find out what a real killzone is all about!
Better bring you´re stand-ins ... You´ll need them :lol.

[KGB]

Good, I was wondering when we were going to start slagging each other off. :lol

Soccermums: I wont drink anything if you don't roll anything. :blarg

JJPAP: What we are facing is a picnic and then an early night. 8)

EDIT: With a walk in the park to make it intresting

[Zoth-Ommog]

Picnic? Walk in the park? Nice dream you've got there, or you've just been playing too much flower.. it's a shame your wonderland will shatter when i stuck my AG-S up in your arse. :lol

[KGB]

Ooh! Homo-erotic thoughts will not deter me!

Nice try though. :lol

[Zoth-Ommog]

You wish it was homo-erotic you dirty dirty man, it was AG-Erotic! ;) And yes, i have more thrust than you can handle :lol

[KGB]

Thrust or thrush?:P

[Zoth-Ommog]

Both !!

[Soccermom]

Thust or thrush?:P

lol :lol

[KGB]

You do realize this is the only sensible posting going at the moment. :lol

[Zoth-Ommog]

Yup, kind of ironic eh?

[andybob35]

Somebody has no life at a 'food basics store'....

Tis the only sensible talking going on... anyway i got better thing to be doing than reading his 'fantasy' posts anyway... off ta pub =D

P.s. im up for the Nordic Vs Englang tourney :P

[JJPAP]

Well, Andy ... You´re slower than ever.
I´ll put you on the stand-by list :P.

[andybob35]

ha ha... im never on this forum enough to get my name on the list first... i usually wait for someone to remind me.. =D thx guys!

[Amorbis]

If there's any drop outs before the tournament on Sunday for Team England let me know, I'll be ready to take their place.

[JJPAP]

Well, Team Nordic has decided on their team for sunday´s match.
I wish you englishmen would do the same. You have to settle it somehow.
We´re really nice fellows. We´ll help you in anyway we can. Guide you around the tracks if that´s what needed, won´t hit you too hard if you´re afraid of pain, embrace you if tears are running down your cheeks after the first 8 races.
But - Team England: You have to decide on who´ll be a part of your own team!
Extra help: If you´re in need of wipers, I´ve heard about a guy called Hahahaxorger or LillyLover (or what ever the f***´* name is). He seems to have a lot of spare time.

[Zoth-Ommog]

But i doubt he won't be able to race, because of lack of brains. He's only able to talk crap, and sucks even on that so.. not much of an option huh?

Unless.. awww too nasty, better to shut up or you guys would kill me :lol i think i got your draft there Pappy :)

[OLOuk]

Sunday!!! Judgement day... buahahaha :banzai

[JJPAP]

I´ll take that for a Yes, I´m ready! OLOuk not grey anymore.
ALL SET FOR SUNDAY´S MATCH!

[OBH]

But - Team England: You have to decide on who´ll be a part of your own team!

Dont worry my friend! :D

What you need to realise about the english - Is we can turn up out the blue sunday morning, hungover, pipe, slippers and coffee at the ready - get the job done...... and go straight back to bed :g

doesnt help the old errr..... organisational skills it must be said :beer

[Golgofier]

Too bad there's no spectator mode in WO. Would have been quite enjoyable to see the old Empire crushed in real-time :g

Good luck to all!

[Zoth-Ommog]

Yippee now i have something to wait for, instead of boring and rotting to death whole sunday!

[OBH]

im strapped in, fired up, and ready to go.

[JJPAP]

Way too early, Osama!
You´ll burn out before 20.30 GMT.
Take care.

[KGB]

I'm going wired connection for tonight so I may be playing in realtime for a change. :)

Good luck everyone. Zoth-Ommog, I hope you don't Finish last. :p:clap:rock

[Zoth-Ommog]

That could be insulting in a way, but it isn't because it's very much possible that i do finnish last ;)

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'll be recording tonight's match up, and I now have a Wegame channel so all videos will be watchable this time :) Will give you the link after the match

[JJPAP]

Sounds good Hellfire!
I might tape the match as well. It´s just that I get a little distracted with the camera in between me and the telly.
But what the heck, it´s only vs. England: There´s plenty of room for a little distraction :p.
Good luck to you all - especially Zoth, Soccer and Chaos.

[Mad-Ice]

Good luck to all, may the best team win! Oh yes, spectator mode would be awesome, I really would like to see this.

[JJPAP]

Thx Mad-Ice and congrats.
Hopefully we´re not delayed ´cause all of the mess they have to clean up after your match vs. France!

[Mad-Ice]

Thanks mate, well some tracks have to be re-decorated for sure! Chenghou Project Forward was a real mess! All those quakes ruined it totally. Expect a delay of half an hour.

[KGB]

Just realised I'm going to miss "Lost" for this. I'm sure it will be worth it. :)

[SaturnReturn]

Good luck everyone. I hope you all have as much fun as I did in the other match. Looking forward to the outcome. Should be very intersting.:rock

[AnErare]

Good luck tonight fellows :)

We should team up with the Dutchmen against the Brits real soon :)

[OBH]

Good luck tonight fellows :)

We should team up with the Dutchmen against the Brits real soon :)

2vs1 adds a twist :g

[Zoth-Ommog]

Good Racing everyone! i have a feeling that tea drinkers took this round. But anyway very enjoyable tournament!

BTW. where the hell were you haydn?? :D you missed 2 or 3 races.

[OBH]

believe it or not the police turned up, nothing interesting just terrible timing! (unforunately non-wipeout related :g). i swer as soon as a tornies on something happens. sorry again guys... honestly no idea who won. must have been very close.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Ladies and gentlemen, it's another win for Team England!

[JJPAP]

And again Hellfire beats JJPAP :o.
At least we agree on the score :+.

[Soccermom]

Congratulations England :burger

You really ran away from us on Ubermall reverse and Sol2 reverse :)


Ahh well... we might have lost the battle... but the war is not yet lost :beer

[KGB]

Well done England, I think you carried me through that. Ubermall reverse was the best i think, a top 4 places for England. Sebenco reverse was the worse where i hit some scenery and got pinged backwards half a mile (when will I learn).

Well done Team Nordic you did very well.

I may be demoted to "b" team after this showing though. Or "c" :beer

[SaturnReturn]

Well done Team England. It's amazing how close individual players' scores come out in these matches. Not to mention how similar Team England's scores were in this match to the Dutchmen's scores in our match.

[Greenix]

Waaaayyyy well done lads, knew you could do it.
Well done to Team Nordic as well, t'was a dead draw on the forward tracks :rock

Don't worry KBG, at least you raced in it, the one week where I didnt check the zone was the one week you organise this! Doh :brickwall

[OBH]

cheers greenix :beer

Well done Team England. It's amazing how close individual players' scores come out in these matches. Not to mention how similar Team England's scores were in this match to the Dutchmen's scores in our match.

me talking a short break helped :beer
i had no idea we drew on points 1st round, thought id let the team down.... i tried hard to help out on rev tracks to try and make up, even slowed down from 1st on vk just to hit JJPAP with a quake :g

nailbiting stuff

[OLOuk]

Cheers Lads for this! It was f****** amazing!!! Sorry Hellfire for those mines, I`ll double check next time. Gr8 work Team Nordic!!! Time for :beer

[JJPAP]

... even slowed down from 1st on vk just to hit JJPAP with a quake :g

I didn´t see it coming - I thought you´d left us again :beer.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Great job guys, it was a really fun tourney. And I pretty much kept up my record of being a mine magnet on a few tracks too ;)

OLOuk, don't worry. Let's face it, you could have been on the opposite side of the track when you laid them with the entire pack between us and I'd have probably still managed to hit them :lol

EDIT: I've created a blog to act as an archive for all the arena events that people manage to record. If you upload them to something like WeGame, I can create a blog post and add the links to the videos from there. So far I've got the Team Nordic vs Flying Dutchmen videos that SaturnReturn made, the ASTRAL league second pool videos from a few days ago, and tonights Team Nordic vs Team England match up.

Here's the link to the blog: http://hellfirewz.blogspot.com/

JJPAP, if you do decide to upload your videos as well, let me know and I'll add them as well. It'd be good to see the tournament from different points of view :)

Again, apologies for any ruderies you may hear, I do get quite vocal sometimes ;)

[Mad-Ice]

Congratulations to Team England! What a scores, so close. I wonder what had happened if the police hadn't showed up at Osama's door?

Only 1 player from each team that did not finish last on one of the tracks. Looking forward to a battle between Team England and the Flying Dutchmen.

[JJPAP]

Great idea, Hellfire. Good work :).
I hope it´ll open other countries eyes to the fun of these kind of matches.

Hellfire: JJPAP, if you do decide to upload your videos as well, let me know.

Of course, I will :nod. But it´ll take a couple of days as it´s DV and can´t be transferred directly.


NB! Splitscreen view (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5403&page=31) from Team Nordic vs. The Flying Dutchmen, if you want them for your archive.

[AnErare]

Well done everyone and with great scores! Congrats to the Brits :beer


2vs1 adds a twist :g

Ghehehe :P I meant teaming up our own pilots ;P

[Hellfire_WZ]

Loads of new videos up guys, last ones will be put up tomorrow :) Check the blog link in my previous post
