RULES FOR THE DOUBLES LADDER

Last update: June 5, 2009
(new changes in red)

I. Ladder

The ladder is a ranked listing of all the currently participating teams.

The ladder shows the following information for each team:

The team's rank on the ladder
The team name
The team status (all teams are Active unless stated to be Inactive)
The PSN names of each player on the team, along with their respective countries (e.g. Feisar31[US])
The team's win/loss record
The team's rating

Each team has a status of Active or Inactive. Teams that do not play a match for 3 months will be changed automatically to Inactive status. Inactive teams that do not play a match for 2 months will be removed from the ladder. That is, a team will be removed from the ladder if 5 months have passed since its last match.
Teams are ranked on the ladder according to their ranking scores (or "ratings"). The Doubles ladder uses an Elo rating system, like the one described on this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_ranks_and_ratings#Elo_Ratings_as_used_in_Go). Each team starts with 1500 points, and will be unranked until it has played 1 match. After each match, the ratings of the two participating teams are updated according to this Ranking Calculator (http://www.animara.com/wohd/ranking.htm). The lowest possible rating for a team is 1000.
All match races will be in Wipeout HD at Phantom speed with weapons on. If there is enough interest, separate Flash/Rapier ladders may be created.


II. Challenges

Eligibility:

A team may challenge any other team on the ladder to a match, under two conditions. Team A may challenge Team B if:

Team B is within 500 rating points of Team A
AND
Team A has not played Team B before OR 2 months have passed since the last match between Team A and Team B.

Challenge Protocol:

All challenges should be coordinated through the WipeoutZone Private Message system. All messages about the challenge should be sent/copied to all members of both teams.
Challenges should be made at least 3 days in advance of the intended match.
Teams that have been challenged should give their response within 48 hours.
Teams may decline a challenge for any reason.
Pay attention to the countries of the members of the team you're challenging (so you don't challenge someone to a match at 3:00 in the morning in their time zone). You can use the Time Zone Converter (http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html) to help you figure out a good time.

The challenge process is as follows:

1. Initial Challenge
The initial challenge message should contain:

The name of the challenging team (e.g. Team A)
The PSN name of the host (one of the members of Team A)
Proposal for the match format (8-FWD, 8-REV, 8-CUS, 12, or 16 races)
At least two possible times for the match, including dates and stated time zone.

2. Response
One member of Team B should reply with their decision to accept or decline the challenge. If Team B accepts, the reply should include:

A confirmation of the match format (including custom track selections if necessary)
A confirmation of one of the offered times, or the suggestion of an alternate time

More messages may be needed for both teams to agree upon a time. Once the match time has been agreed upon, we get to ...

3. Final Confirmation
One member of Team A replies, confirming one of the original times or Team B's suggested time. If necessary, the message should list the final custom track selection for the match (including Team A's choices). This message should be sent/copied to yeldar2097 (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/member.php?u=4560) OR a member of Team A should post an announcement for the match in this thread. The scheduled match will be added to the list of "Upcoming Matches".

Each team should notify yeldar2097 (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/member.php?u=4560) of any match cancellations or postponements, so that he can keep an updated list of scheduled matches.


III. Matches

Matches consist of one or two tournaments in Wipeout HD with the following settings:
Speed: Phantom
Weapons: On
HUD Weapon Hints: On or Off
Opponents: Invite-only
Barrel Rolls: On
Pilot Assist: Off
Laps: 5The winner of the match is determined by summing all the points earned by the players from each team: the team with the most points at the end of the tournament(s) wins the match. Matches may be 8, 12, or 16 races. (Each match counts the same amount towards a team's ranking—the number of races is simply a matter of preference.) The match options are:

8-race Forward: One tournament of all Forward tracks, raced in order from Vineta K to Sol 2 (or vice versa).
8-race Reverse: One tournament of all Reverse tracks, raced in order from Vineta K to Sol 2 (or vice versa).
8-race Custom: The challenged team (Team B) selects 4 tracks in its response message. Then the challenging team (Team A) selects the remaining 4 tracks in its final confirmation message, such that each track is represented by one version. (If Team B chooses Metropia Reverse, Team A cannot choose Metropia Forward.) The races are played in one tournament in the order they were listed, with Team B's tracks first and Team A's tracks second.
12-race: The challenged team (Team B) selects 6 tracks in its response message. Then the challenging team (Team A) selects the remaining 6 tracks in its final confirmation message; Team A may choose any track version not chosen by Team B. (If Team B chooses Metropia Reverse, Team A can choose Metropia Forward.) The races are played in one tournament in the order they were listed, with Team B's tracks first and Team A's tracks second.
16-race: One tournament of all Forward tracks and one tournament of all Reverse tracks, each raced in order from Vineta K to Sol 2 (or vice versa).


Match Protocol:

A member from each team should login to WipeoutZone on the day of the match in case the other team needs to cancel.
The match host (from Team A) should start an Invite-only room at least 5 minutes before the agreed match time and invite the other three players. Someone should also start a text chat room and invite the other players. If both players from the challenged team (Team B) have not joined the game within 15 minutes of the scheduled match time (or they have not communicated their cancellation to Team A), the match is forfeited by Team B.
When all players have joined, the host should begin with one single race to ensure that there are no connection issues for any of the players.
After the single race, the host should set up the tournament agreed upon beforehand. Using text chat, the host should confirm that everyone is ready to start. Once all 4 players are ready, the host may start the match.
For 16-race matches, a 5 minute break should be taken between the first and second tournaments.
In the case of a tie after the normal number of races, an 8-race tournament (all Forward tracks) should be held immediately to determine the match winner.
Within 24 hours of the match, the match results should be posted in this thread by one of the teams and confirmed by a member of the other team. If possible, players should take photos at the end of the tournament(s) to record the final scores; these images can be posted along with the results or sent by PM to Feisar31 (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/member.php?u=4561).

Network Trouble:

If a player disconnects or is disconnected during the match, the tournament should be stopped immediately and the host should set up a new room. If the player is able to rejoin, the match may continue; the host can be switched to Team A's other player if that might help. The teams may resume the match from where it was left off if someone has kept track of the scores; otherwise the tournament must be restarted.
If the disconnected player cannot rejoin, or if he or she becomes disconnected again, the match should be rescheduled.
If the same team has disconnections during the rescheduled match, that team forfeits the match, receiving a loss. The other team is awarded a win.

[SaturnReturn]

Cool. I've had to book a day off work to read the rules, but once that's done we can get this thing a rockin' :rock and a rollin' :guitar.

[JJPAP]

Damn brilliant, Yeldar and Feisar31! Let´s get started.

[Asayyeah]

Indeed it's freakin brilliantissima !
That rocks, can't wait to start our 1st match Yeldar :guitar

[yeldar2097]

@ Asa: feel free to suggest a new name, i just made one up on the spot :P

challenge away racers!!

[KGB]

I'm glad he's on my team otherwise I would have to read it as well. I think I will let Fiesar31 do the organising. ;)

Well done both for getting it sorted. :+

Edit: I would of give you some rep Yeldar, but I need to spread it around first.

[KIGO1987]

I dont remember asking djKyoto if he wanted to doubles with me, but i was suggesting the idea with a few other Aussies for sure. I might have to PM on this matter. What about KANDANG? atm? I also have my nasty connection problem bullshiit i have to deal with also atm.

[yeldar2097]

@kigo: sorry i just assumed you'd talked it over: http://wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5908&page=7

if anyone isn't happy with their pairing: feel free to swap things around, just let me know so i can sort it out.
the list in this thread is just going on the previous thread's list and not many people gave confirmation about teams etc... if you want to change, let me know ASAP :)

[djKyoto]

I dont remember asking djKyoto if he wanted to doubles with me, but i was suggesting the idea with a few other Aussies for sure. I might have to PM on this matter. What about KANDANG? atm? I also have my nasty connection problem bullshiit i have to deal with also atm.

If you don't wanna pair with me Kigo bro, just let me know and i'll find someone else, I'd just assume you'd be cool being my fellow australian wing pilot. :)

[blackwiggle]

I think he's more worried about his connection woes djKyoto ,he tried to join a few races last night and kept dropping out.....mucho swearing.

[KIGO1987]

If you want to pair, im fine with that. Send me a PM saying yes or no:)

[djKyoto]

Yes. :P

[KIGO1987]

K. Let me know when you wanto race then, btw ive got a mid semester in the next few days so i wont be on for particulary too long.

Thanks. It was TCK's idea though, so I can take no credit :)

[KIGO1987]

djKyoto if you do not reply to the ****ing messages i send to you over the playstation network. How will we be able to organise anything. Its not that hard to give a yes or no reply. I answer to every single message i receive in my inbox. Please be a bit more alert next time.

[SaturnReturn]

Prepare for the Green Sponge Ninja's...

Apologies in advance for this, but I'm on a one-man misison to attempt to reintroduce the correct use of apostrophes. I feel it necessary to inform you that you have misused one in your team name. You just don't need it there. I know, I'm annoying. :p I just just have this thing about apostrophes. :blarg

[andybob35]

lol ha ha my dyslectic brain. To be more correct it is: Greensponge ninja's... beat us and we'll change it...

o yea, years of txt spk... hasnt helped...:o

[TarotCardKiller]

I'm not sure if this is the right area to post this in but I haven't been able to play wipeout lately due to Resident Evil 5. Its due this Sunday so after that I'll be comin' back! If we are needed for a match b4 that, I'll get back on early.

[KGB]

Me and Feisar may be up for a race tomorrow night if any ones interested, short notice I know, but you know how it is! :lol

Edit: Late tomorrow night!

[yeldar2097]

i'm ALWAYS awake so i'll ask Asa. or you could, he's not on my list...

[KGB]

He hasn't been on line for a while. Are team mates not meant to be Friends with each other.

[yeldar2097]

our mutual hatred for each other will spur us on to greater heights...

[LOUDandPROUD]

LOUDandPROUD & IH8YOU are in! Team name is PROUD2H8YOU! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A! :rock

[blackwiggle]

djKyoto if you do not reply to the ****ing messages i send to you over the playstation network. How will we be able to organise anything. Its not that hard to give a yes or no reply. I answer to every single message i receive in my inbox. Please be a bit more alert next time.

I think he was busy writing a HD walk through for the Playstation Trophies site by the look of the "Post Time" of when it went up.:eek

Try again tonight,then again he should reply out of courtesy from you previous messages.

[KIGO1987]

TBH Blackwiggle i really CBF repeating myself again. Got Econs stuff do next week anyway.

[Asayyeah]

Lol for mutual hatred !! :D

Seriously speaking as few may already know i am rarely online cause each week, i can't have a proper online access for ps3 where i am, except weekends when i am back in my town, eventhough i am often a bit busy like most of friday evening i am playing offline with Dag ( Wipeout, last guy etc...) or saturday afternoon focused on social or professionnal stuff, sunday it's already time to pack bags to go back studying 200 kms away. So there's only saturday at night i am fully free BUT the 3 following weeks i am staying in le Havre :rock ( working in a pc repair shop but with cooool sheduled hours : tue to fri ( 10am/12 - 2pm/5 ) ) so guess what? i shall be more often online :p

About the list, Yeldar i am very sorry, it's my lazzy fault but mind this : this will change soon after a brief changement ;)

[Wotan]

Here is the name of our team (I and luxoflux) : Vanina's brother

Team "Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity" would like to official enter the ladder (Soccermom + OLOuk)

[djKyoto]

This could work as an alternative, its web based.
http://webmessenger.msn.com/

Also, if you think of a good team name, let me know. :D

[yeldar2097]

just to add to kyoto's post, iloveim and meebo are good ones to use as well :)

Nice to see the ladder get going.

JJPAP: You can drop your wrath on OLOuk and I in our upcomming match :P

BTW. if ever there were a thread to get stickied, it would be this one (consider this an official request).

[Greenix]

Thanks JJPAP :)
It certainly wasn't easy, zoth was having a very good run and we were lucky you were having one of those days or you would have soaked us sponges. Good luck against Soccermums and OLOuk.
P.S I'm now on my 3rd broken controller from this game :bomb

[KIGO1987]

This could work as an alternative, its web based.
http://webmessenger.msn.com/

Also, if you think of a good team name, let me know. :D

Seems to work, thanks.

[yeldar2097]

Anyone willing to take on the (hopefully) mighty Asayyeldar? :g

thanks for the update :)

anyone want to go with connavar?? he's fast and he's a flying dutchman (from belgium). need i say more?

[DrMannevond]

I also have a suggestion for team name, but again, nothing official, and I haven't run it by Mic yet. Anyway - my suggestion is :

The Flying F**ks :g

[mic-dk]

Confirmed. The Flying Retar... ehm F**cks are open for business.

[yeldar2097]

so wait, is your name The Flying F**ks or is it The Flying Retar...ehm F**ks??
either way both work pretty well ;)

[mic-dk]

:P The Flying F**ks it is.

[leungbok]

Flying folks ? :lol

[yeldar2097]

or forks?

hmmm...i wonder...

[OLOuk]

Big THX Voodoo Rage for yesterdays tournament! Both teams were amazing and most important 100% TOP FUN! Congratulations Voodoo Rage!!!

[kaori]

AG-Rapides, leungbok & I are ready to play, wednesday, 21.00 GMT for a 8 races tournament, normal tracks.
A team to try to beat us? ;)

[yeldar2097]

[kaori]

[ID] 8-FWD AG-Rapides vs Asayyeldar!
Tomorrow, 22.00 GMT+1 (France)
Rendez-vous on a PSN chat before the latch.

[kanar]

Hopefully the streaming will be up for the "AG-Rapides vs Asayyeldar " ladder match, so we can all follow their battle on WO-TV ... YAY


Tonight on wipeout HD-TV... Awesome stuff. Someone with an hd cam should shoot that. I'm signing in myself for the spectators slots, with my cam, my pop-corns & a can of diet coke (go away beer! go away!). I promise to turn off all my wifi hardwares except the wipeoutHD machine (I mean the ps3 ah ah). Ooh Can I join the chatbox to cheer you up/trash talk with you guyz??? LOL

Can't wait for tonight

[Asayyeah]

It's noon time and i can tell ya my lunch is now going up & down into my stomach : stress & palpitation go progressively higher & higher, i can feel my blood starting to be transformed into a sluggish liquid i can't name, pressure at MAX.

But , but i wouldn't miss this for any reasons! i ll race with my dear teammate Yeldar against fellow frenchmen : that 's gonna be a Pure Blast

[yeldar2097]

hopefully i'll have my PS3 in time...

Edit: Back in business :)

[leungbok]

Congrats Asayyeldar !
You had an undiscuted victory :)
GG, mates !

[kaori]

1st. YLD 52 points (1.3.1.4.2.1.3.1)
2nd. ASA 50 points (4.1.3.1.1.2.2.3)
3rd. KAO 45 points (3.2.2.2.3.3.1.4)
4th. LBK 37 points (2.4.4.3.4.4.4.2)

Asayyeldar 102 points, AG-Rapides 82 points.

[KGB]

Why have GreenSponge Ninjas only got 1514 points when everyone else that won have 1515 points yeldar? Is this part of the mathematics of scoring. Please don't make me read Feisars rules. :)

[SaturnReturn]

Yes it's part of the scoring. I think the team you beat had already been beaten so are worth less. Not worthless, just worth less.

Am I the only one that's read the rules?

[yeldar2097]

i've read em :)

basically its to do with the calculator thingamy and as saturn said, they'd already been beaten before so you get less for beating them.

it'll all make much more sense when more matches have been played.

[Vartazian]

I could really use a partner. hopefully its okay to post in here for that...

Ill go with you Conn if you still need a partner...

[Feisar31]

MATCH RESULT

Voodoo Rage (kgb1971 + Feisar31): 199 points
TarquinChaos (chaos80 + TarquinFarqhuar): 169 points

kgb1971 - 103 points
chaos80 - 99 points
Feisar31 - 96 points
TarquinFarqhuar - 70 points

Tournament 1 results (http://www.animara.com/wohd/match09_04_2009_t1.jpg) (reverse tracks)
Tournament 2 results (http://www.animara.com/wohd/match09_04_2009_t2.jpg) (forward tracks)

Thanks to the yet-unnamed team of chaos80 and TarquinFarqhuar for a fun match! KGB picks up another MVP award.

Side note: It really sucks that the host can't set the maximum number of players anymore.

[SaturnReturn]

Well done Voodoo Rage. That's an impressive score. And you're right Feisar. I hadn't realised you can't do that. Has the option definitely gone? That would indeed suck for setting up games like these. What about invites? Does that option make it invite only?

[Vartazian]

I believe you can set up a friends only game. Then just invite.... Wouldnt that work?

[Feisar31]

I'm not sure if our first tournament was set to Friends-only or Invite-only, but we had people joining the room while while we were racing and causing some glitches. I don't know if they were spectating but they showed up in the room afterwards. The second tournament was definitely set to Invite-only: nobody joined and everything was smooth.

I'll be updating the rules to recommend that all matches use Invite-only from now on. :+

[EPSILON]

2 Tournament coming for the Quake Surfer :

1/ Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity (Soccermom + OLOuk)

2/ AG-Rapides (Kaori + Leungbok)

We try to determinate a date !

Congratulation Voodoo Rage !

[KGB]

Both runs were set to invite only, so i don't know why there were people in the room after the first one. There was no freezing from my side on the second run. God knows what was going on.

Well played everyone. I always get a bit nervous when i play these things but Chaos's first attack soon put an end to that, it just turned to sheer rage after that ;)

EDIT: Those people watching were not on my friends list, even if i had of set it to friends only, they should not of been there

[kaori]

16-ALL : Quake Surfer vs AG-Rapides, monday 13th April, 21.30 GMT +2

[leungbok]

And don't come to watch that match and cause us micro-freezes and other s***t :bomb
(I'm kidding of course, ;))

[Feisar31]

Both runs were set to invite only, so i don't know why there were people in the room after the first one.

EDIT: Those people watching were not on my friends list, even if i had of set it to friends only, they should not of been there

Well one of them was on my friends list (of course I didn't invite him or anything). That's troubling though. I hope it was just a bug and "Invite only" actually means "Invite only". :|

[Asayyeah]

Thx for the match AG-Rapides, it was nice and run smoothly even with the patch on ( at least for me ), Yeldar feel free to launch a new match with anyone interested in fightin us ;)

[KIGO1987]

Ive got a suggestion

(unofficial)

[designer_79, blackwiggle] vs. [KigoAngelusRacer - djKyoto]

Good idea guys?

It'll be good since where are all only at max 2hours apart in timezones.

[blackwiggle]

I'll message Designer79 and see when he's free [Now that I have woken up infront of the PS3,yet again];)

[Vartazian]

I would really like a Partner for this... Would anybody like to Pair up with me...?

[djKyoto]

I'm keen for that race.

de-siggles vs the team with no name. ;)

[yeldar2097]

I would really like a Partner for this... Would anybody like to Pair up with me...?

ask connavar on psn :) (or find someone else, not sure who but there's bound to be someone)

[SaturnReturn]

Upcoming match:

Transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity vs Folie Ã* deux

Sunday 12th April @ 2200 hrs UK Time.

[yeldar2097]

Ok people, from 19th april (next sunday) @ 20:00GMT I am going back to school so i will be unable to play except sundays from 12:00 - 20:00 and Asa won't be online for much longer either.
In light of this, was hoping that we could arrange some matches for Asayyeldar so that we don't end up lagging behind/stagnating in the ladder.
hope to race you soon :)

More details in attachment.

[EPSILON]

Very Good races the Ag-Rapides ;)

It was a great battle even if i play like a :turd in the 2nd Round

Revenge soon ;)

[Nyctalopian]

This tournament was a double well aggressive (AG-RAPIDES) but what makes it fun to play with brave pilots ... Well done I think it will be faster than expected ...:o

[KIGO1987]

Right guys. This is the first Doubles race that will be raced in the GMT+8 to 10 zone.

So;

de-siggles vs Outrun

[blackwiggle/designer_79] vs [djKyoto/Myself]

Races will commence at the time of Wednesday 10pm @ GMT+10 (Sydney time), 8pm @ GMT+8.

So my guess the doubles consist of an 8 race tournament of the Forward tracks with weapons on, followed by a second tournament of the Forward tracks with the weapons off. Right?

My next concern is who will record and keep reference of the scores?

[blackwiggle]

See the first page KIGO for the format and rules.

We'll do one 8 race forward & one 8 reverse all with weapons on unless we chose longer tournaments.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Not sure if it's my place to make a rule change suggestion, as I didn't create this league, but here goes... Just went to see what was changed in the rules, base on the recent 1.30 update, and noticed that "Weapon Hints" must be set to off. Considering this is a 2-on-2 team-based league, I think it would be awesome to know what weapon your teammate is carrying. Would really add a new and cool strategic element I think. For example, my teammate and I are both trailing the competition...he's in 3rd and I'm just a tick behind him in 4th...I have a quake...he can see that, so he slows down just enough so I can pass him...I quake the competition. That's obviously just one of many examples I could use. Sure, I can also see what weapons my opponents are carrying, but, again, it just adds a new strategic element to the match and I think it suites this league and it's style of play perfectly. I will 100% respect the decision to keep things as they are, if that's the case, as this league is fantastic either way, but I just wanted to throw it out there. :+

[designer_79]

Loud and Proud, I was thinking exactly the same thing ... as voice chat is not working in game, the weapon hints would give a very tactical touch to this league. Like me having a quake, my teammate a shield ... time to use both and slow the leading opponents. ;-)

See you on tracks tonight, Aussies. 10pm Sydney time (GMT+10) res. 8pm Shanghai time (GMT+8). Looking forward to an intense race

[djKyoto]

+1 vote for weapons hints on for the above reasons.

Looking forward to the race reguardless. ;)

[Vartazian]

I agree with this as well.

+1

I also want a partner >_> Ive asked around too. lol

[blackwiggle]

I'm ok with weapon hints on if you guys want it,Kigo's the only one to vote to veto it,but I can't see that happening.

[KIGO1987]

Is that the feature that allows other online users to see what weapons the other players have on them? Choice whatever is best. I cant see it anyway with my shitty viewing screen.

It's the thing on the right kigo, you can see it on standard def.

[blackwiggle]

:lol:lol:lol:lol

[KIGO1987]

bastard.... i guess you'll be playing at an advantage then.

[designer_79]

SORRY guys, can we postpone the race 1hour? I was fighting with real life track conditions = Shanghai's rushhour ...

[rdmx]

bastard.... i guess you'll be playing at an advantage then.
I said it CAN be shown on your tv, unless your tv borders cut it off for whatever reason?

[KIGO1987]

My bad insertcoin.

Whats the results for the races we just had? You going to post them blackwiggle??

[blackwiggle]

Yeah, here they are.

Team OUTRUN wins 2-0

[OBH]

not many races happening considering the number of teams.

still watching with bated breath though :)

[blackwiggle]

I think a lot are waiting for the update to be sorted and avoiding tournaments.

[Feisar31]

I'm OK with making the HUD Weapon Hints optional, but I'll let yeldar have the final say. I mainly put that option as "Off" so the settings would be the same as before the patch. Personally I think there's an element of strategy either way, so leaving it as an option makes sense to me.

Also, I think it would be best if everyone used PMs to set up and coordinate specific matches, instead of this thread. ;)

[blackwiggle]

I been trying to message people on the PS3 but keep getting the 8002aBOB error.
As for the weapon hints ,I could see djKyoto carrying a Quake for about a lap and a half just waiting to get me ,and I'm just hoping for a shield before the end,but no,not that lucky.:frown:

[KGB]

Friday 17th April, 11pm.

Vanina's brother has challenged Voodoo Rage to a 16 Track Challenge. :cold

Lambs to the slaughter :lol

[designer_79]

That table doesn't look pretty at all, blackwiggle :blarg and I know its all my fault hehe ... So I switched to AG-Sys defenitely, cause after weeks of cruising in the Piranha , the AG-Sys seems to carry itself around the corners :) Well we should challenge another team soon, get the practice ya know? how about Stinkleroy and Kanar?

[blackwiggle]

I think both Kanar & Stinkleroy have "Sent HD to Coventry" so to speak [meaning that they are not playing online due to the current intermittent problems that are occurring ].
Well I'm almost certain that's the case with Kanar judging by some of his most recent posts.

[kanar]

lol. I'm slowly "adapting" to my online issues. I mean s**t the f**k up & just play with my new laggy mates microFreezer, BRhazard, MinesFields, Cambodia, you know all the stuff for an awful GG. I've seen ALL the aces don't care about all these issues and are able to concentrate themselves, whatever happens... So Be It. Stinkleroy & me have planned only one match next week, so of course we can plan more stuff. I'm sure a 2 vs 2, invite/friends only, locked to 4 contenders, + my TV/PC off and all the broadband dedicated to the psn network can be technically ok.

What I'm trying to say is these 2.70/1.30 issues are killing the online experience for guys like me, who had already problems to focus on the track before, compared to offline. I mean I've understood aliens are still able to focus instead of yelling like me after a 3 secs freeze in a race, a BRhazard, or a vista pad, or a strange laggy Icaras handling. But if they have still fun playing online, I'm wondering why it's not my case anymore. I don't even try to avoid these mine fields most of the time now. I mean, I'm not searching a racing line anymore. Hopefully they haven't implemented a respawn OFF feature, I'm not sure someone will be able to finish a race now.

[Connavar]

I'm now allied with Vartazian, so we'll be able to race you guys :)
Just need to find a good name and practice a bit

[KGB]

Got totally obliterated into next week by Vanina's brother, well played everyone. May of lost to the best team in the whole league so no shame there.

[Feisar31]

[yeldar2097]

May of lost to the best team in the whole league so no shame there.

ahem, 2nd best :P
only needs to be made official :banzai

great stuff all the same. glad to see voodoo rage taking the initiative and playing lots of matches. everybody follow their example :)

[kaori]

leungbok and me (AG-Rapides) are ready to challenge a team tuesday 28 april, 21.30 GMT +2 (France) in a 16-ALL tournament.

[kanar]

I've to ask to my team mate, but I would be glad to follow your ships guys. We'll confirm that tomorrow. By the way, PROUD2H8YOU vs Aerodynamic : Upcoming 16-race match confirmed for Weds, 4/22 @ 22:30 GMT.

[yeldar2097]

looks like nobody wanted to race asa and myself. i'll it as a compliment.
neither asa nor me will be available for much longer but i'll still be able to maintain this thread for you guys.
happy racing :P

yeldar2097 out

[KGB]

You should of asked me Yeldar, Voodoo rage could of done with a win to get us back on track :g

[yeldar2097]

that's precisely why i didn't ask you ;)

[KGB]

Touché :lol:lol:lol

[kaori]

kgb, do you want play vs AG-Rapides this tuesday 21st April? (22.00 France, 21.00 England)

[KGB]

Would love to kaori but i am at work that night so couldn't make it then, Perhaps at the weekend, maybe sunday night, i would have to check with Feisar though.

[Vartazian]

CoVarianz - Vartazian And Connavar Is ready to be challenged!

Any Takers?

I personally would like to Race De-siggles

[designer_79]

kinda related to the 'test-races' we had last weekend, mate? ;) I'll take that as an official challenge: so any suggestion date and time wise? Because Blackwiggle and me are living in a strange Eastern part of the world it could be an issue ... or anyway , weekends work fine in general. (not next one though cause my wingleader intends to get really drunk)

[blackwiggle]

It's not intent,it's a forgone conclusion.

Next Saturday [ANZAC DAY April 25th,Public Holiday] is one of ,if not the biggest pissup days in Australia.:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer:beer:dizz y

It's like St Patrick's day is to the Irish.

[KIGO1987]

Yes, big piss up days. But ****ing double demerits. Cunts are out in force doing people who go .01 over the speed limit and congratulating dumb cunts who drive slow and hold up the flow of the entire lane/s of traffic.... Back to topic. Anybody else in this timezone willing to do more doubles??

[Vartazian]

Fuzz gotcha down Kigo?

[djKyoto]

Just let me know, I'm keen for Outrun to be victorious again anytime soon. :g

[designer_79]

Outrun will be challenged for a revenge race as soon as the 30 days waiting period is over ;) Full grid of AG-Sys next time :+

[blackwiggle]

Kigo will probably use Triakis now.....have a look at single race records...:brickwall

By the way my Modem/router is back up and running so De -siggles are [almost ready for the next challenge] which is Connevar and Vertich [spelling]if I understand things correctly.
Could be a:brickwall or a :D depending how my wingmate has adjusted to using a different craft [and if I don't self destruct trying to pull off the killer move :redface: ]

[KIGO1987]

Fuzz gotcha down Kigo?

No that was last year. Couldnt drive for most of that year. Partly why i became so addicted the Wipeout Pulse. But since ive got my 2nd car they are off my back good now.

@Blackwiggle:

Ive gotta be happy on Moa Therma single race Records, got No.2 world rank both on Forward and Reverse, i am happy also with the Moa Therma Forward record too, broke the 2minute barrier. Fuk yeah!:g

Im am using the lollypop ship blackwiggle still. Its pretty much has turned into Triakis online now, thanks to 1.30 and my lag.

[designer_79]

Could be a:brickwall or a :D depending how my wingmate has adjusted to using a different craft [and if I don't self destruct trying to pull off the killer move :redface: ]

Wingmate is adjusting smoothly and quickly ... races have never been more fun :D

[LOUDandPROUD]

Have a match scheduled for today and was hoping for some quick clarification on one of the rules...specifically, the rule that states:

"If a player disconnects or is disconnected during the match, the tournament should be stopped and restarted immediately, if the player is able to rejoin."

So, if we're halfway through a tourney and someone gets disconnected, are we supposed to start the tourney completely from the beginning? Or just from the race where the disconnection occured, and then manually add the points from the previous races to the final tourney results (this would actually require that someone be taking photos of all the race results screens to pull off)? If it's the former, then that would be a tough pill to swallow for any team that may have dominated the races before the disconnection occured, while also being a lovely gift to any team that may have done poorly in those races...LOL. Regardless of the answer, I'd just like to know, so I can be sure to do the right thing, should a disconnection occur.

Thanks!

[yeldar2097]

from where it occured, just so long as you take note of all the points beforehand.

[eLhabib]

Amorbis and I are proud to announce our teamname for the doubles, it's

THEREDANDWHITE

playing on the fact that we are both from countries with red and white flags, and the fact that he pilots a white Auricom, and I pilot a red one :D

Now, time to get some challenges going ;)

[Vartazian]

Ill Talk to Connavar but Ill be willing to challenge the Red and Whites if you guys so desire.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Ok, cool...thanks for the clarification, Yeldar.

[Amorbis]

I'll be happy to race you Varatazian, based on the one race I've seen you in it should be interesting. I'll see what eLhabib says and we can organise a time and date. I should be free from Friday through to Sunday so the weekend would be ideal.

[eLhabib]

I'm game!

[yeldar2097]

more importantly, team names :D

[SaturnReturn]

I offer my congratulations to LOUDandPROUD for making it through the rules. I'm fairly sure we're still the only two that have. I have of course forgotten them all by now though. Shame!

Anyway, as yeldar (he's not read them either - he's totally blagging it :p) almost suggests, it's a good idea to write down points at the end of every race so that you can start again if necessary.

[yeldar2097]

now look here matey, i have SO read the rules. god knows i wrote em :P
isn't that right feisar ;)

i just had a little help,that's all...
ok feisar did EVERYTHING but that's not the point :D

@eL and Amorb: you want all upper-case letters with that? :D

[stinkleroy]

Just in case anybody is at all interested, PROUDtoH8YOU vs Aerodynamic has been postponed.....yes again haha :lol

I'm sure we'll get our act together soon enough, but if anybody wants to wipe the floor with Aerodynamic in the meantime, wer'e up for a challenge!

[eLhabib]

@eL and Amorb: you want all upper-case letters with that? :D

If it doesn't annoy you, yes ;)
You know, we're flying Auricom, we got to be bold :mr-t

[yeldar2097]

done and done :D

[JJPAP]

Upcoming match:
Enthropic Decay vs. Aerodynamic
Monday the 27th of april - 21.00 GMT/22.00 Paris

[OBH]

Im rooting for THEREDANDWHITE...... as filthy as it may be supporting the nasty, nasty auricom ship :dizzy handles like a wheelie bin.

If i was a betting man id have come up- with some odds! TarotCardKiller + SaturnReturn are still my dark horse to win this thing.

[kanar]

Upcoming matchs:
Enthropic Decay vs. Aerodynamic
Monday the 27th of april - 21.00 GMT/22.00 Paris
AG-Rapides vs. Aerodynamic
Thusday, april 28 - 21.00 GMT/22.00 Paris

phewwwww...

by the way, I'm ok to reschedule the Proud2H8YOu match wednesday. Let me know if you're ok guys.

[yeldar2097]

looks like Aerodynamic are going to be very busy next week ;)

[stinkleroy]

Yep, I'm officially scared now ;)

[djKyoto]

Kigo, lemme know when you want to bea-... race again. :dizzy

[KIGO1987]

When im less tempted to break the controller due to the extreme cunty lag.

Which shouldn't be too far as the contract for my bullshit internet provider expires in just over a month from now. Then i can get something with a bit more speed. Then hopefully there shouldn't be any [less] lag, and a better gaming experience.

In due time kyoto in due time:)

[kanar]

Upcoming Aerodynamic Tourney :
PROUD2H8YOU vs Aerodynamic : Sunday, april 26 - 20:30 GMT, 21.30 Paris
Enthropic Decay vs. Aerodynamic : Monday the 27th of april - 21.00 GMT/22.00 Paris
AG-Rapides vs. Aerodynamic : Thusday, april 28 - 21.00 GMT/22.00 Paris

WTF...... Kigo, I'll hunt this lag for you!

[Connavar]

Vartazian: I'm fine with all the challenges :)
Just need to agree on a day and time... so when's our first?

[il_NIK]

Me and Romano are here!

Team name: The missile Sloth :rolleyes:

Racer: Il_Nik + alteregorr

[Amorbis]

Here's a proposed time for THEREDANDWHITE Vs. CoVarianz:
Sunday the 26th of April 2009
21:30 GMT+1 (British Summer Time)
22:30 GMT+2 (European DST)
13:30 GMT-7 (British Columbia DST)

Is that OK with the two teams? It's negotiable if that doesn't suit anyone. I know being on the west Canadian coast will make this slightly harder for you, Vartazian. Tell me if I'm wrong about the time in Canada, I'm guessing that BC stands for British Columbia.

Sorry to Vartazian, but I got his time zone wrong. I'm just changed and hoping that he'll tell me if I'm correct. GMT.com says it is fine now.

[Vartazian]

2:30 in the Afternoon on Sunday fits great with me.

LEts Race!

[eLhabib]

Perfect for me as well! Bring it on guys! :pirate

[Feisar31]

OK I'm going to make this request one more time and then drop it. I don't know how yeldar feels about it (and it's his thread), but this is something we have in the rules.

Please use Private Messages to set up specific matches! If you didn't know, you can use semicolons to send a PM to more than one person.

There, nagging over. ;) It's great to see even more teams getting involved!

[TarotCardKiller]

Im rooting for THEREDANDWHITE...... as filthy as it may be supporting the nasty, nasty auricom ship :dizzy handles like a wheelie bin.

If i was a betting man id have come up- with some odds! TarotCardKiller + SaturnReturn are still my dark horse to win this thing.

Its comments like those that make me less uneasy about Saturday's tourney against Vanina's Brother... =D Hopefully someone doesn't come up with a SUDDEN case of the flu...

To my teammate Saturn... "Lets kick the tires and light the fires!"

[Connavar]

Amorbis: fine for me

[yeldar2097]

i don't really mind people posting matches in this thread, PMs are more user friendly though i think.

that said, it does keep this thread nice and high. wouldn't want it to disappear :P

[alterego]

Hi All!

...ahahah! a little mistake!

Il_Nik and I are the team "The missile Sloth" not as write in the ladder.....ehm ehm

;)

read you soon

Vanina's Brother vs. Folie Ã* deux

Vanina's Brother - 193 points

Folie Ã* deux - 175 points

Well done guys. Sorry haydn - we'll get 'em next time, when they're worth way more points :D

[yeldar2097]

mmmm, I love unscheduled matches :D
nice and refreshing. well done to Vanina's Brother!

[SaturnReturn]

It wasn't exactly unscheduled. It was planned for Saturday but we hadn't finalised a time and I forgot to tell you about it officially. Oops!

[OBH]

Results:

Vanina's Brother vs. Folie Ã* deux

Vanina's Brother - 193 points

Folie Ã* deux - 175 points

Well done guys. Sorry haydn - we'll get 'em next time, when they're worth way more points :D

if youd had chosen to race for UK instead on The Flying Dutchman youd have been guarenteed the win ;)

though losing to the strongest team on paper is no biggie. Wotan & Luxoflux will be mighty hard to beat.

[SaturnReturn]

Hehe, yeah well, the orange is too strong with this one. Don't worry, TCK said he's out for blood now so everyone better watch out :twisted

[eLhabib]

Results CoVarianz vs THEREDANDWHITE

CoVarianz 185 PTS
THEREDANWHITE 183 PTS

As you can see from the points, this was really intense!!!
Good game, CoVarianz - I'd like to be able to say you were the better racers, but really, you were the better gunners ;)

[Vartazian]

I wasnt really good at anything.

Wait I was the best at exploding and flying out of the course.

Dont forget best at coming in fourth as well.

Good Races.

[Connavar]

That was uber close LOL...
Well guns are part of the game right? ;)
I admit I was a bit lucky and managed to hit more and get hit less.
Great game still, we'll meet again!

[yeldar2097]

blimey o' ****ing riley! close call!
good work chaps :D

[kanar]

Big congrats to Zoth & JJPAP, as far as I remember JJPAP announced :
Enthropic Decay 188 -- Aerodynamic 181. I completely cracked on the reverse lol. GG again to all, we spent good time together. Damn we need a victory tomorrow.

[SaturnReturn]

Damn! Another close one. That must have been an exciting match. Good luck for tomorrow kanar.

[kaori]

Yeah good luck for tomorrow Aerodynamic.

[stinkleroy]

Thanks Kaori, we will need it haha :)

Thanks to JJPAP and Zoth for tonights match it was good fun....my wounded thumb hurts ;)

[JJPAP]

Just to confirm Kanar´s result of the match between Enthropic Decay vs. Aerodynamic :P.
And also to say big thanks to The Cheetah and Kanar for a great and very close match :+ - (only 6 points divided number 1 and 4).
Sheep omelette and milk when ever you´re around, mates ;).
Without my knowledge there must have been a draw on one of the tracks (16 x 23 = 268p - 188 + 181 = 269p :eek).
Well, have to pick up Zoth from the mental institution; he was having a nervous breakdown last night :lol

[stinkleroy]

Sheep and Herb omlette hahaha. Thanks Pappy ;)

[Connavar]

Must be players 3 and 4 finishing together => +1 point

[stinkleroy]

Unfortunately I didn't notice if anyone tied last night but it was very close in most races. It has happened to me before though, crossing the line with exactly the same time as another player. I was in first and got quaked just before the finish line :)

[Zoth-Ommog]

Well, have to pick up Zoth from the mental institution; he was having a nervous breakdown last night :lol

Only minor one, so you guys don't have to worry and cry your selves to sleep. I got bit poetic thats all :lol

Once again i'd like to thank our rival team, races were great and chat was mentally funny! See you around!

(btw. that omelette was supposed to be our secret :lol )

[leungbok]

I was in first and got quaked just before the finish line :)
Ok, we'll try that tonight ;)

[KIGO1987]

Right, Andy, Greenix, kyoto, throw some good times, so we could organise this thing:)

[djKyoto]

Most nights I'm good, so whenever. :D

[kanar]

Well, first draw here lol. Aerodynamic 184 vs AG-Rapides 184. We all had our moments of glory, & respawns. Had great fun racing with you friends. Damn you Leungbok wth your blue ag-sys lol, on chengou reverse I thought it was you behind me, so I doomed Cat wth bombs & mines during 4 laps. Awful Cambodia kanar destroying is own team mate.

[leungbok]

yes mate it was a nice one ! Did you received the check ? ;)

[Zoth-Ommog]

a draw? cool, i would have wanted to see this :)

Grats to both teams!

[stinkleroy]

Hahaha it made me laugh kanar....a lot! ;)

Thanks to Kaori and Leungbok for great races...hope to race with you again soon :)

[kaori]

Crazy races tonight!
1st race, leungbok quaked me on Sol 2, I fell before I could attack kanar with a missile!
9th race, kanar and stinkleroy were first and second, I'm third and used a quake, me and leungbok finished 1st and 2nd!
14th race, I was first in the last lap, and leungbok was 2nd with a big gap. I slowed to try a tie and score a "double 8". Failled, leungbok win for 0.07 second...
16th race, Aerodynamic had one point more than AG-Rapides, stinkleroy was first, but leungbok took the head. I followed kanar during 5 laps, without touching him with my weapons, it's a tie!

Tournament Forward :
1st kanar 54 points, 2nd leungbok and stinkleroy 44 points, 4th kaori 42 points

[kanar]

racing report, Stats race by race... Brillant. thanks mate. This league is really pure dope!

[SaturnReturn]

Draw? Aren't you supposed to have an 8 forward track tourney straight away if you get a draw, in order to decide the result?

[kaori]

I'm supposed being at bed!

[kanar]

bwah ahah Yeldar French translation didn't mentioned that part, & we havn't checked here what to do. LOL, so we have to reschedule that. We're specialist in rescheduling matches, no worries ah ah.

[Vartazian]

Come one come all The Next Match With CoVarianz will be on

SATURDAY MAY 2nd

1:30pm Pacific
4:30pm Eastern
10:30pm For Connavar (I dont know your time zone)

The Match will Be between CoVarianz and PROUD2H8YOU

Good Luck to both teams!

My Message to PROUD2H8YOU is, Becareful... We got a deadly aim ;)

[Feisar31]

Yeah, no draws allowed I'm afraid. That's pretty incredible though! :eek

[LOUDandPROUD]

@ Vartazian - Yah, you've got deadly aim...and Connavar. :P

[JJPAP]

14th race, I was first in the last lap, and leungbok was 2nd with a big gap. I slowed to try a tie and score a "double 8". Failled, leungbok win for 0.07 second...

ROTFL :lol:lol:lol That´s the spirit!

Like Zoth, I would really have liked to watch the races - (maybe one day, when Spectator Mode is a fully integrated part of WO HD an works as intended ... :|)

[yeldar2097]

yeah just rearrange a small match to decide who wins and everything will be groovy.
if it's a draw again then you know what to do ;)

[Mjolnir74]

I don't know how I missed this thread until now, but if anyone's looking for a partner, let me know. I'd love to get involved with this.

[yeldar2097]

I'm pretty sure someone will race with you, just ask around and you shouldn't have too much trouble :D

Any news on a decider between AG-Rapides & Aerodynamic?

[stinkleroy]

Not sure yet yekdar, kanar is away until Sunday so will be rescheduled when he is back :)

[KGB]

Folie Ã* deux and Voodoo Rage will be going head to head on sunday at 9pm UK time. ;)

[SaturnReturn]

Yup, should be a close one :D

[OBH]

Myself and Hellfire will be enterying the fray! :D
Team name I'MBACKBABY! :banzai should have confirmed the name with the man himself, but hey ho!

[yeldar2097]

holy ****ing arsebandits, OBH+hellfire?
i genuinely fear for my life :cold
great that you found another partner :+

[OBH]

Really, quivering at the thought of racing Wotan and Luxoflux myself :)

Not that yeldar fella though, should be a breeze :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm ready for a piece of this! :D

[OBH]

Hellfire had a fantastic team name idea - Holy ***king Arsebandits!!!

cheers yeldar! :D

Cupid Stunts was a very close second.

[Vartazian]

CoVarianz Vs PROUD2H8YOU

Winner : CoVarianz

Scores
Vartazian - 108 PTS
Connavar - 105 PTS
LOUDandPROUD - 81 PTS
IH8YOU - 78 PTS

CoVarianz - 213
PROUD2H8YOU - 153

After a Great Match Between CoVa and P2H8 (With alot of Firefights and Swears!) CoVa Came out on top as IH8YOU would put... with " Brutall Efficency".

Great Racing by all. I do believe the term "Rematch" was thrown around by PROUD2H8YOU.... Maybe sometime in the future we will race again!

[LOUDandPROUD]

Yah, that was quite a beatdown you guys gave us. :cold IH8YOU and I have some work to do before our rematch for sure!

[IH8YOU]

They won - no doubt. They were racing extremely well, too - in spite of them feeling otherwise.

Call this rationalization - or flat out BS - but I feel the margin between teams would have been a LOT thinner if we were on 1.2.

I recorded the 2nd tournament on my camera - and watching it really upset me. Those weapons pads I didn't hit - but thought I did - well, turns out I DID hit them, and got nada. Happened on 2 or 3 speed pads too - flew over them, and got no boost. Yes I'm serious - got it on video if you don't believe me.

Then my controller shut off completely at the start of Sebenco - on a full battery. Apparently - this happened to Jason, as well.

I know all of us were having BR problems (as we all voiced it in the chat room)... I thought private matches were supposed to alleviate the micro-freezes and what not. (that was my first private room) Sadly - I didn't seem to see a difference.

I hope we can face off again - on a level (and predictable) playing field. But all in all - the better team did win - and my sincere apologies for Jason - for dragging the team down.

[Vartazian]

Haha IH8YOU you are a phenominal racer, both you and LaP Throttle me all the time on single race rooms.

Maybe the Reason why I did so well compared to last time is because I had minimal problems with My BR's sure there were a few times when I couldnt get them but 90% of the time I hit them.

You guys really outgunned us too in this round! It was an Awesome game.

Hopefully next time OUR team has all the Controller problems so you guys can humiliate us!!

Till next we meet!

[Connavar]

Some more stats, ships:
IH8YOU: AG-Systems
Vartazian - AG-Systems
Connavar: Icaras
LOUDandPROUD: Feisar

I enjoyed the game very much, because everyone was civilized, congrats to
LOUDandPROUD and IH8YOU, well first for the AMAZING name PROUD2H8YOU!!!
And also for playing fair, normally you would have scored more points because
you had some controller issues; also we all suffered from the microfreezes
meaning we couldn't execute many BRs :mad:

Still without those BRs, BOTH I and Vartazian managed to score a 2.03.xx on
Chenghou, which is kind of incredible I think :)

Obviously congrats to Vartazian for being the #1 player, sorry for bombing
you twice... At least I'm stable with 105 points in this game and 105 in the
previous one against Amorbis/eLhabib :)

Edit: Ah damn I notice Vartazian didn't have BR issues ... so where does
this problem come from??? Last week I had close to 0 problem and I could
race a lot better... I'd prefer nobody to have the issue ... or everybody,
otherwise it's unfair for one of the teams :/

[djKyoto]

Hellfire had a fantastic team name idea - Holy ***king Arsebandits!!!


Bring it on. ;)

[blackwiggle]

I thought The Cunning Stuntswould be a better name.

[LOUDandPROUD]

I thought private matches were supposed to alleviate the micro-freezes and what not. (that was my first private room) Sadly - I didn't seem to see a difference.

Wow, that didn't even dawn on me until I read that. There were plenty of micro-freezes in our races and it was an invitation-only room...well, that officially shoots down the theory that micro-freezes are due to the new join room/spectator features. So, now the question is, what really IS causing the micro-freezes?

Also, dude, there's absolutely no need to apologize...your a great pilot. We may have been beaten badly, but I think we both did ok under the circumstances. I anticipate that we'll fare better next time.

@ Connavar & Vartazian - Thanks for the compliments! Had fun! :)

@ blackiggle - LMBO!!! Best...team...name...EVER!!! :lol

[SaturnReturn]

Is it possible the game set itself back to public when a setting was changed or something? That happened to me in our first match. We did a single race first to test connection, with it set to invite only, and then after when I changed it to a tournament Soccermums noticed it had changed itself to puclic again.

[JJPAP]

It certainly does :frown:
See my bug-report (http://http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5321&page=6)
Be sure to check that the parameter is still set to Invitational, when changing anything in the lobby.

[OBH]

osama-bin-haydn[IT]
Now, unless im mistaken.... im not Italian :)

[SaturnReturn]

I was going to joke that it stood for "in transit". But that actually makes far too much sense. So er....intoxicated...yes, that's better.

EDIT:

I'm well confused about the point system now. How come me and TCK are on less than 1500? We've lost 1 and won 1. The first one we couldn't have been expected to win because it was our first match. The second one we can't have been expected to win because it was against a team with more points than us. So how can that come out to less than what we started out at? I thought the system accounted for expected results. :blarg

EDIT: Never mind. I worked it out :D

[Feisar31]

Congratulations to Folie Ã* deux! Voodoo Rage continues its downward spiral...

[kanar]

Well, it happened again. We played a final 8 tracks tournament after our last week draw... AG-Rapides 94 - Aerodynamic 94.
So after this crazy draw result again, we decided to try a kind of "golden race" rule. It has been decided to race on Sebenco reverse... And a bomb exploded in the last lap... Stinkleroy saw I was 2/3 secs behind Leungbok, after a dumb respawn lol, so she placed a huge BOMB in the last turns. And well... I finally came 1st. I would like to thank you a lot guys, was again a real close one.

[leungbok]

arf, don't turn the knife in the wound, mate ! ;)
congrats to aerodynamic ! :)

[yeldar2097]

blimey!! 2 draws in a row, i'm impressed. great stuff :+

[KGB]

Well done Saturn and TCK for their win yesterday, totally outclassed. :(
Thought I might of won one race though, the gods were not with me. ;)

[SaturnReturn]

Thanks KGB and Feisar31. You guys were noble runners up. I'm sure you would have won a few, KGB, if it had been pre-patch and you weren't a bit out of practice. I'd taken a break in the week but had been playing most of the weekend so was in pretty good shape. Not to mention TCK was out for blood after our loss to Vanina's Brother.

Thanks again to TCK - another one where our results were very even :D That's always good to see. Go Team!

RESULT:

Enthropic Decay vs. The Missile Sloth

Enthropic Decay: 189 points
The Missile Sloth: 179 points

Once again a bloody exciting match. After the forward tracks The Sloths were leading by 4 points, enjoying their Prosecco and Port and doing really well. Reverse tracks the opposite story, just vodka and redwine in the glasses instead. Me personally: Ended up in the sofa with 3 burning cigs in the ashtray and no shirt on :eek
Big thanks from E. D. to The Missile Sloths: Damn fast and damn nice guys!
The Doubles rule!

Ciao

:beer:beer:beer:beer

[Zoth-Ommog]

Very intense indeed, i also felt like i was boiling :D damn hot!

CdRom and il-Nik are very friendly and polite racers, and first of all they're fast! Hope to race you guys soon again :beer

btw: guess who had wine and who had vodka.. :lol

[il_NIK]

Thanks to our fastest friends for that fast bloody Thursday :clap

Great reaction after the first unfortunate races, and really great rev races with some double good results for E.D.

I'm really happy to know those fast and correct guys. Nice :lol

Next time we'll be more prepared on rev and stronger than ever on fw
(I think this is a request for a return match. Oh my...)

Great night mates :banzai

[alterego]

Hi All!

Double rulez!
thank you all for this great evening!!! :)

Read You Soon!

UPCOMING MATCH

CoVarianz vs Folie Ã* deux

Saturday. 2PM Pacific

[TarotCardKiller]

We are also racing Aerodynamic this coming Sunday at 2100 GMT.

[LOUDandPROUD]

TheFrostE and I have settled on a team name...considering our craft allegiance, we're going with Semper Feisar. There ya have it! :)

[HunterGreg8]

Kingheim and I want to participate. We have no name for the team now

[OBH]

TheFrostE and I have settled on a team name...considering our craft allegiance, we're going with Semper Feisar. There ya have it! :)

what happed to PROUD2H8YOU? :(

Good to see kingheim getting involved :) havnt seen him online yet.

[LOUDandPROUD]

Well, the IH8YOU half of PROUD2H8YOU stated he just couldn't deal with all the issues associated with 1.30 anymore (this was right before 1.40 was released) and has since reverted back to 1.26, I believe indefinitely. So, I had to find a new partner. :(

I know he's tried out 1.40 since then, but considering the only thing fixed is the micro-freezes, I don't think he's very enamored with it. When he does get back to playing online eventually, he'll certainly make a fine partner for someone and I hope the first team he challenges is Semper Feisar! :)
