[yeldar2097]

count me in bruv :banzai

[SaturnReturn]

I'm up for this too. But I feel there are faster Dutchmen around than I. We should try and get DjManiac in on it as he's always beaten me in every race I've played against him. Dj, Luxo, Yeldar, Mad-Ice: a pretty tough team to beat I reckon.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Very interested, but again will have to delegate with the rest of the team

[Amorbis]

I'd like to take part, but like Hellfire said it'll be up to the rest of Team England as to who will participate.

[yeldar2097]

do the two pilots have to be different or do they have to be the same?

[kaori]

They must be different, each team will have 4 pilots.

[JJPAP]

Splendid idea, kaori.
You can count on Team Nordic - as always :p.
Getting back later on.

[Mad-Ice]

I'm up for this too. But I feel there are faster Dutchmen around than I. We should try and get DjManiac in on it as he's always beaten me in every race I've played against him. Dj, Luxo, Yeldar, Mad-Ice: a pretty tough team to beat I reckon.

Well, DjManiac was very busy the last months, but I know he is very interested. If there would have been a second french team yesterday DjManiac would have been there too. Anyway, if I take Saturn's ideas and we have to make two team of two. Then I would go for: Luxoflux and Yeldar2097 in weapon races and DjManiac and me in races with weapons off.

Just a thought!

[yeldar2097]

good plan, i always crack under pressure in the non-weapon races. especially when greenix is chasing me... silly haribo:banzai

[OBH]

Sounds fun. Though the ENG squads got a lot bigger lately,and i think ive taken part in most stuff goin, so ill see who else wants in first :)

Strong Dutch team there :beer though if ever needsbe, we can always just unleash the wellymeister :g

[SaturnReturn]

Well, DjManiac was very busy the last months, but I know he is very interested. If there would have been a second french team yesterday DjManiac would have been there too. Anyway, if I take Saturn's ideas and we have to make two team of two. Then I would go for: Luxoflux and Yeldar2097 in weapon races and DjManiac and me in races with weapons off.

Just a thought!

All good with me. I think Dj and others were maybe staying away as the team was full. The fact that I was organising the Flying Dutchmen races too probably meant some of the guys didn't want to step on my toes. Some of them probably don't check the site too often either and my PMs were a bit late.

Anyway, I shall be cheering you on. I'm pretty sure you guys have have the winning team right there :D. Someone take videos so I can watch later.

[OBH]

to clarfiy i think england are going with -

amorbis & wellington - without weapons
greenix & hellfire - with weapons

:beer

[kanar]

great stuff indeed. And you could have a rest anytime at my host lol.

[JJPAP]

replace me with SaturnReturn, i can't make it :(

EDIT: just for you saturn -_- ok guys, i can't play because my school sent my parents a letter saying that i haven't done my physics coursework so my father has locked my PS3 in a safe until i finish it :(

[SaturnReturn]

Yeldar, You should tell everyone your reason for not being able to play. It's hilarious.

Anywhoo, I'm going to assume that this starts at 2030 BST, i.e. London time. Hope that's right.

Mad-Ice, you know if DJ and Luxo are still ready for this? I hope they've not forgotten.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Yeldar, if you're unsure about anything, I'm a physics teacher ;)

[kaori]

Thanks JJPAP for schedule. @ english men, I can host the second tournament if you want.

[Amorbis]

You can host if you want, it'll be best if you do in case my internet goes wrong. We haven't heard from Wellington for a while, here's hoping he'll show up. I'm sure he will.

So it starts in an hour? 20:30 BST it should be.

[SaturnReturn]

I can host the weapons on reverse tournament.

[KGB]

Good luck England. ;)

[JJPAP]

All set (see above). Good luck to you all, but mostly Chaos, Zoth and The Doctor :P.

[Greenix]

Still no welly... Uh oh..

[KIGO1987]

When was the last time Wellington actually logged on or was last seen?

[Eloï]

Good luck France =)

( sorry I couldn't try to join, somebody in the house wanted to watch the traditional Columbo of saturday ( on tv breizh, maybe french know that channel of bretagne lol ) ).

[DrMannevond]

Sorry about the no-show. You're not gonna believe this, but I actually overslept:eek Again, sorry about that, and hope it didn't screw things up too much..:|

[leungbok]

Me and Expitarius (weapons on) :
Forward tournament : 78 pts
Reverse tournament : 79 pts - total = 157 pts
My poor teammate was disconnected at the last race (freeze on sol2 R), and was killed by his fellow frenchy :blarg on seb reverse (with a lethal leech, lol).

[SaturnReturn]

That was a lot of fun. Unfortunately Luxoflux and me were each other's worst enemy. Then there's the fact that neither Mad-Ice nor DjManiac showed up. No response from Connavar and AnErare had to fill his belly. Still, we put on a good show in the Avalon event I think.

Now if only we can work out a way for teammates to avoid lagging each other, and get luxo some stronger shields. Hmmm...

[ExpitariuS]

My poor teammate was disconnected at the last race (freeze on sol2 R), and was killed by his fellow frenchy :blarg on seb reverse (with a lethal leech, lol).

yeeeah the two tournament was very intense and brutal >< but this ****ing disconnection piss me off

(sorry if my english is not good ><)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Videos for the weapons tournament will be up soon. Unfortunately the Vineta K reverse video didn't start so that's missing. Typical as I won that one!

[Zoth-Ommog]

C'mon you just say so, because there's no proof :lol

[AnErare]

Ghehe, I already said something about recording for proof in the online chat ;D

Saturn, yeah sorry about that, I wasn't expecting this so my timing was really badly off :/

[SaturnReturn]

Damn. I didn't win any? None at all? Fook me. I suck!

[yeldar2097]

71pts with no wins is a pretty solid effort. team holland is officially proud :)

not so proud of the fact that we came last...:(
we just didn't want to make the other teams feel bad :P

[SaturnReturn]

If we'd had a weapons team then we could have won. If you double our non weapons score then it's close. Plus, no greenix in weapons. Would have been intersting to see those scores. Alas, was not to be.

[Connavar]

Yeah damn I was not aware of this, I could have been on stand by, well for the nex time.

[JJPAP]

Great fun yesterday, even though the start was rather chaotic!
I think the chat-forum saved our a***** ;). Great feature.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Sorry kaori. My scores were 44 and 35. z1r0rEi was the other England pilot, and he had 30 and 40. chaos80 and Zoth both had 34 in the second round. I'll put the full breakdown up in a bit

[Hellfire_WZ]

Videos for the first round of the weapons division are now up. Saturn, I've linked your videos into the blog too.

So I don't have to keep posting the link, I've set the blog to my homepage :)

[leungbok]

There's a pb to see the ubermall forward weapon race, mate (...& i still enjoy your comments ;))

[Hellfire_WZ]

Shite, so there is. Will re-upload it tomorrow

[leungbok]

Cool ! looking forward to watch it... and the reverses too ;)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Ubermall video fixed, and reverse tracks now uploaded

[leungbok]

I saw (and heard :lol), great show, mate :+

[mic-dk]

Quality vids! And great commentary too - I'm only glad nobody execpt my wife hears me when I play. I especially likes when you tell Expitarius where he can stick his bombs :lol

[SaturnReturn]

P.S. They're not the most interesting races to watch but Moa Reverse was fairly entertaining. Watch Hellfire's first though for entertainment value. Only watch mine if you're reeeeeeeally bored.
