England World Cup Schedule.

[OBH]

Thought a thread to sort out the race dates would be a good idea.

Does anyone have any particular days in september they deffinitly can not race?

If not, I reckon we should try kicking things off nice and early with a race on the first saturday 5th against... well... whoever wants to go down first :g

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'll be unavailable on the weekend of the 12-13 and possibly one other weekend too. Will let you know.

Also unavailable before 5PM on weekdays due to starting my teaching career

[Amorbis]

On weekdays after September I won't be available before 4:30PM due to being at Sixth Form, any time after that on a Week Day I should be fine. Weekends I should usually be available except for the odd Saturday. I'll let you know about anything that happens that might get in the way so we can reschedule if we have to.

[OBH]

I was thinking, one of you guys (you know, the ones who OWN a ps3 :g) should see if the japanese team want a race on the first saturday 5th.

Their not as frequent here, and with a different time zone id love to get the game out the way early if we can :)

[blackwiggle]

Good luck getting a response from the Japanese Team.

I PMed them weeks ago about racing against team AUS ,still no response.

If you get a bite could you please PM me with WHO actually replied to you.

Cheers

[andybob35]

Well it seem Team Nordic wants to go first...

Sunday the 23rd of august - 20.00 GMT
Team Nordic vs. England (aka "The Revenge")

Im good to race on that date and weekend after weekdays after 19.00 GMT. Ill messgae Greenix and get him up to speed on things.

[Hellfire_WZ]

No good for me mate, I'm out at football on that day and the trains are f*cked so no guarantee I'll be back in time.

[Amorbis]

I'll be on holiday for two weeks as of Monday the 17th of August and I'll be back around the start of September. If we're having any games in that time I wont be able to take part, sorry for the inconvenience :(.

[blackwiggle]

Are you guys OK with chalking in a race day against team AUS/NZ on Sat 5th or Sun 6th of Sept,time to be confirmed?

We play team NORDIC the following weekend,if not,the weekend of the 19th 20th of Sept.

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm good for that weekend. Anyone else available?

[blackwiggle]

Which one are you good at,sorry I just want to stop possible confusion..

Was that the 5/6yth Sept or 19/20th you guys might be OK with.

[Amorbis]

I'd be more likely available for the 19th/20th although I'm sure I can get back into shape quickly for the 5th/6th, but I'd be better off as a reserve.

[Hellfire_WZ]

I was referring to the 5/6. Can't do the 19th

[JJPAP]

Hi Team England :p


http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=11&pictureid=710

is more or less out of shape .....
So we´ve decided, that our first WWC 09-match should be some kind of a walkover ... :rolleyes: You guys!
I´ve contacted Haydn (don´t know if he´s still your organizer) and he said that Team England is always ready ... I know you are.

My idea:
Team Nordic vs. Team England
Sunday the 23rd of august - 20.00 GMT

A couple of days before the match, we´ll decide on which wipers for each team.

Okay?

Prepare to meet The Reaper, mates :beer

[Aka-sho]

Dear Team England.

Team Japan will want to race with team England on Sat 12th of September 17:00[GMT] start.

Could you match at this time?

If you cannot manage it, we will change race date & time.

Please reply our Team Schedule thread.

Team Japan WWC Schedule - WipeoutZone Forum
http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=6686

Thank you :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

I won't be available for the 12th, hopefully the rest will be able to make it.

[Amorbis]

My holiday has been postponed and I won't be going until Thursday. I don't think this will affect anything but I think it's best I give everyone notice.

[JJPAP]

Hi Team England :)

Could any of you, please, confirm if you´re up for a match vs. Team Nordic (sunday the 23th of august - 20.00 GMT) or not.
If you want to do the match sometime in september instead: No probs!
Just have to gather the troops soon, if you´re ready for sunday .....

Cheers

[OLOuk]

Well... for me ANY date is fine :)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Turns out the trains are now running properly on Sunday so I'll be back in plenty of time. I'm in :)

Andybob also said he could play if needed, so that's three. Any word from Greenix?

[JJPAP]

We have three players ready for the 23rd, working on a fourth. Will let you know in due course, but the likelihood is it's going ahead.

Brilliant, mate :D
We´re ready when ever you guys are.

See you (through an inferno of scattered Gotekis and smoke) :pirate

[Hellfire_WZ]

I didn't know any of you piloted Goteki? ;)

[OBH]

good luck lads :)

[Greenix]

Damn this has kicked off fast.
I'm gonna need to practice quite a lot if you want me to race on sunday cause I haven't played in ages.. rust is guaranteed on my part.

Anyhow, Sunday - August 23rd - 20:00 GMT is good for me :+

[Hellfire_WZ]

If you want we can sort out a warmup tomorrow to get you up to speed ;)

Can we consider this our final team then?

[Greenix]

lol you just want an easy target ;)
So to confirm with everyone:

Team Eng - Hellfire, Andybob, OLOuk and Greenix
Sunday 23rd August 20:00 GMT

....bring it JJPAP.

[JJPAP]

....bring it JJPAP.


LOL :dizzy
I´ll spend the entire day to search the shops of Aarhus for a miracle to bring ...

Today or tomorrow, I´ll give you the names of the participants from Team Nordic.

Hosting?
Team England hosts the forward tracks and Team Nordic the reverse - okay?

See you

[djKyoto]

You's guys punched a time in with us yet?

Sep 5/6 or something? 2pm GMT+0 is the latest I/we can start at fyi.

[Hellfire_WZ]

That's good for me. Anyone else available?

[andybob35]

99% sure ill be awake by then... so yes from me! ill ask my bro Greenix as well. What about that killer fish amorbis and the cave dwelling terrorist OBH?

Looking forward to it... ashes revenge?:g

[OBH]

Still a tad rusty. I really thought i was going to miss out completely. Now i can race and humiliate my favourite victim djkyoto :) Id love to get involved :g

[Vartazian]

I just want to show OsamabinHayden what we Canadians do to bugs up here...

[djKyoto]

Now i can race and humiliate my favourite victim djkyoto :) Id love to get involved :g

:pirate

1pm GMT+0 On the Saturday 5th Sep Good Team Eng?

[OBH]

I just want to show OsamabinHayden what we Canadians do to bugs up here...

You get bitten and die? :g

[Greenix]

I'll fill in the final spot as long as no one else wants to race, considering I was in the Nordic meeting. I'm also only available on the sunday so best to see if any other interest is shown.

[Vartazian]

You get bitten and die? :g

We Crush them and light them on fire!

[yeldar2097]

I'm pretty sure that doesn't work on cockroaches.....
is the Mirage a cockroach?

[OBH]

it sure looks like it!

lets say it is! so in essence, i can survive a nuclear explosion :)

[Vartazian]

Actually.. that was disproven... and bugs still catch fire FYI ;)

[yeldar2097]

that's why we keep em damp in soggy old england ;)

[Lance]

What time are the bugs scheduled to arrive? Just how fast aRe those bugs, anyway?

[OBH]

Im here right now! And The Flash has nothing on me :g

Ahh, jokes, jokes, jokes!

[djKyoto]

:pirate

1pm GMT+0 On the Saturday 5th Sep Good Team Eng?

Waiting on a Confirmation of this date chaps.

[Hellfire_WZ]

That's good with me

[Amorbis]

I should be available on the 5th of September at 1PM GMT if you need me. I'll say if anything crops up in the mean time.

[Hellfire_WZ]

Guys, have we decided on a final team for today?

EDIT: Ignore me, it's next weekend :redface:

[Amorbis]

Maybe we should send a PM to everyone in the team that qualified? I'm not sure if everyone has seen this thread and might not know about next weekend's races. I'll send some now and see if I can get some responses.

Edit: I just sent a few out to those who haven't shown any interest (I think I sent one to OBH by accident), hopefully more interest should appear. Also Barnster can't receive PMs for some reason as it refuses to let me send them to him.

[andybob35]

Ill be about for this, all set for team ANZ :D

[Hellfire_WZ]

Makes sense, should try and get as many people in as we can. Have you tried to send Barnster a PSN message? He does play regularly so if we can get in touch I'm sure he'll be up for it.

[Amorbis]

I just left him a message on his profile. If I'm on the PS3 later I'll try to remember to send him a message. With Andybob on board things are shaping up to be just fine :).

[OBH]

dates perfect for me

[Hellfire_WZ]

Hmm, I've gone from a yes to a maybe, I might be away next weekend. Will let you know ASAP

[djKyoto]

dates perfect for me

You're mine. :pirate

[OBH]

Not a chance!

You lose at cricket, shocking football team, F1 drivers gonna be close, but not close enough, and now wipeout :g mwahaha!

[Vartazian]

Man OBH is just a smack talking MACHINE.

Heres hoping your defeat comes as no suprise when you take on the west!

[OBH]

Man OBH is just a smack talking MACHINE.

Heres hoping your defeat comes as no suprise when you take on the west!

Whats a competition without banter!

Racing is not about winning, its not the taking part, its just taking the p*ss out of the opposition!! :g

[yeldar2097]

...then rubbing it in some when you do win ;)

i'd trash you and say that you wouldn't know but TE are still unbeaten (god only knows how...) :lol
trashy-trashy-lol-lol

[djKyoto]

Not a chance!

You lose at cricket, shocking football team, F1 drivers gonna be close, but not close enough, and now wipeout :g mwahaha!

I couldn't care less about Australian sport teams, since I'm not Australian so your smacktalk is deemed invalid. http://www.gpforums.co.nz/images/smilies/birdies.gif

[OBH]

Damn! I have been foiled! :banzai

To be honest though, I know so little of New Zealands national sports besides rugby, I wouldnt know where to begin the trash talking!

Do kiwis even play sport? :g

[silverfoxy]

Kiwis are the world's best rugby union team for 3 and 3/4 years out of 4.

Then they go to the World Cup and choke !!!!

Nothing for Team England to worry about !!

[KGB]

Doesn't really matter where these colonials are from, just give them a bashing from Blighty, Then home for tea chaps ;)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Saturday's gone for me, I'm only around on Sunday :(

[Amorbis]

I should be able to take part on Sunday if we have to move it back. Of course we'll have to see how that works for ANZAC. We still need a confirmation from everyone who wants to take part, unfortunately I haven't received any messages back from when I asked around.

[Greenix]

I'll fill in the final spot as long as no one else wants to race, considering I was in the Nordic meeting. I'm also only available on the sunday so best to see if any other interest is shown.

This must have gone unnoticed amongst all of the banter on page 4..

[Amorbis]

I got a message from OLO and he can't make it this weekend at all unfortunately. Sorry for missing your message Greenix, it would be nice if you can race on Sunday :).

[Greenix]

I can I can, just see who else wants to race as well - want as many team mates taking part as possible :)

You can put me on the list but if anyone wants to race they can have my spot :+

[andybob35]

Should be good to race on sunday, out late saturday so put me on standby incase im not around. Have messaged xbarnsterx and he seems good for the aussies. We should get a confirmed/standby list ready.

[Amorbis]

OK then, here is a list of possible England racers for Sunday:


Amorbis
Greenix
Andybob35
Hellfire
Barnster

Can any Australians confirm whether they'll be able to move the race to Sunday? And any change in time if we have to?

[XBARNSTERX]

Yep most definitely up for this. Was a tad rusty today, not raced much since fury. I actually quit a race twice(shamed) but i 'll be ready for the match no probs :+

[Vartazian]

Hellfire said sunday as well didnt he? I wana race him so he can record me Filling his ship with holes :D

[djKyoto]

I'm good for sunday if you make it an hour earlier (ie 12pm).

You'll have to flick Luna/KIGO/Wiggle a PM.

[KIGO1987]

I havent seen Blackwiggle online for a week, hope the guy is ok,

I wonder whats happening with him, he is the man organizing all the **** for Team Aus.

[Vartazian]

If anything has happened to him it probably what im on the brink of doing.

Killing myself for having to organize the damn team! Its harder then it sounds.

[OBH]

OK then, here is a list of possible England racers for Sunday:


Amorbis
Greenix
Andybob35
Hellfire
Barnster

Can any Australians confirm whether they'll be able to move the race to Sunday? And any change in time if we have to?

Have i been demoted to sub or something?

Either ways fine, though had my heart set on laying the smack to djkyoto :g

[Vartazian]

OBH I will personally save a plasma blast for you when you race NA in the finals....

that is.. if you make it there...

[OBH]

I hope I make it. I agreed to race 4 pages ago, and have tried to get as much practice in as possible since :)

As for your plasma, save it all you like, itll just go sailing past me :g

[Greenix]

It's a list of those who have confirmed they can race on Sunday - since it has to be moved from Saturday. I'm sure now you have said you are available for the Sunday Amorbis will add you to the list.

[OBH]

Oh, sorry, was just worried :g cheers buddy!

[djKyoto]

I wonder whats happening with him, he is the man organizing all the **** for Team Aus.

He passed it on to me, so that may say something about his dissaparence.

12pm GMT+0 Sunday 6th September is fine, tho please let OBH race ;)

[Amorbis]

Possible England racers for Sunday:


Amorbis
Greenix
Andybob35
Hellfire
Barnster
Haydn

Race is planned for 12PM GMT on Sunday the 6th of September.

[hn9354]

Hello, Team England

Sorry, We don't get Aka-sho and a contact from 21th of August...(Sign-in isn't done with PS3.)
I cope instead.
If you are sending Aka-sho a private message, please send me the message again.

Best regards.

hn9354

[OBH]

Hi! :g ive sent you a pm mate.

If you have a date thats easiest for you guys, post it here and im sure we'll be able to find 4 players tor ace at that time!

All the best!

[hn9354]

Hello, osama-bin-haydn.:)

Thank you for a private message.
I'm going to write in a hope match date at here soon.

Best regards.

hn9354

[OBH]

I vote Amorbis should clearly get to play 100% next time. Regardless what happens.

Considering he was the highest scoring englishman at the time, having to drop was really harsh.

[hn9354]

Hello, Team England.:)

Team Japan will want to race with team England on Sat 26th of September 17:00[GMT] start.
It's said that reach-big7 can participate at this time. Could you match at this time?
If you can't manage it, we will change race time.

Best regards.

hn9354

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'll definitely be out for that one, don't mind though as I've played in the last two

[OBH]

Sundays are generally easier for me, but i cant see there being a problem.:)

xBarnsterx and Peh-hok are the 2 yet to race i believe. Peh-hoks no longer on my friend list, ill have to see what he's saying. Amorbis left early so he should clearly get a say (if available of course!).

[Amorbis]

Thanks for the thought, OBH, I'd be happy to race against Team Japan. Of course we'll have to see what happens in the mean time but for now you can put me down as interested :).

This'll be a tough one, I know that Japanese pilots are some of the best online after quite a few encounters.

[Greenix]

Jolly good work chappies! Got a nice cup of tea for you all. Still undefeated as a team :rock

For our race against the Japs, I usually get in at about 5pm on a saturday and all our games seem to start 15 mins later then planned so I should be good for it :)

[andybob35]

Ill give the japan match a miss and let the lil pirhana man Amorbis take my place, last one wasnt my best racing and kigo ran away :lol

:nodEither way we've got a kickass team whatever players we use!:nod

Great racing on sunday everyone, cya online soon.:beer

[Amorbis]

List of interested pilots for England vs. Japan Saturday the 26th of September 17:00 GMT:


Amorbis
Haydn
Barnster
Peh-Hok

The earlier we get things going the less likely we are to have any mess ups :).

[OBH]

I love racing the japanese :) funny, friendly, and very, very fast! If theres space ill deffinitely get involved.

[XBARNSTERX]

I'll be available guys, about time i got involved i think.:nod
So you can definitely count me in :+

[Hellfire_WZ]

Good stuff, only one more needed :) As I said earlier I'll be unavailable for that one.

[Amorbis]

Good to see things coming along nicely. I haven't seen Peh-Hok in a while, he last signed in 3 days ago but I haven't seen him post since around the time of the team qualifiers. I hope he's still available for a race sometime.

It would also be good if we could get a 5th possible racer, not necessary but it would be nice to not have to make compromises during the races for both teams.

[Vartazian]

Im jealous I wanted to race the japanese =(

Ill race for you guys! I promise Ill only kill OBH more then 7 times.

[OBH]

peh-hok pmd me on my psn saying hes well up for it. back in the wipeout groove and no doubt as competitive as ever :)

looking forward to racing the NA team. Vart "farts"s gonna get a flurry of mines from my arse :)

yeah! i rhymed! :g

[Amorbis]

That's four Englishmen interested :D. Now there's only 10 days to go until we get to see what the Japanese are capable of. I'm looking forward to it :).

[djKyoto]

I'm rooting for you England, take down those very fast Japanese pilots!



If you screw it up im blaming it on osama-bin-haydn. :g

[OBH]

Honestly, the more you take the piss, the more ill be dishing out the pain! :g

[OBH]

We need a team to face scotland after japan.

As much as id like to race the scots, i have been in all races bar the first, so am happy to sit out if others want in.

[Hellfire_WZ]

If it's on a good night, I'll be in for the Scots :)

[Amorbis]

If no one else wants in I'll happily race against Scotland. It should be easy to organise, being in the same time zone and everything :).

[KGB]

Played peh-hok today, don't think he is aware that he is racing on Saturday, someone should message him sharpish.

[OBH]

I re added him to my psn list and he was well up for it.

did mention that if he wants in he needs to mention it here, so we should start looking for a replacement (unfortunately!). OLOuks only raced once.

[KGB]

What a wealth of talent we have! Including pilots that didn't qualify for the World Cup. ;)

[OBH]

Really? No idea who your talking about mate :g

[XBARNSTERX]

Lol. you guys:D

[OBH]

3rd beest smack talking victim!

1st. French
2nd. Americans
3rd. Ourselves!! :g

[Amorbis]

Just in case Peh-Hok or anyone else doesn't turn up we should have a back-up. We need to have all of our bases covered, I'm sure some of you'll be online if we need you anyway, including those that didn't qualify ;).

[KGB]

A pilot that didn't qualify is in Blackpool this weekend to see the lights so will not be around. Good luck though.

What's this Lancashire thing you have got going on Amorbis. Have you moved or are you denying your true roots? :g

[Peh-Hok]

Hi guys. Sorry I've been out of the loop for a while, busy with work, holidays etc. I'm up for Saturday 5pm if still needed, will be online anyway, ready to kick ass.

Thanks for the messages Osama and Amorbis, catch you on the track soon. What's the format, just a single tournament or what?

[XBARNSTERX]

I think its 2 tourny , forward an reverse:eek

[Amorbis]

What's this Lancashire thing you have got going on Amorbis. Have you moved or are you denying your true roots? :g
Well, outside of Ulverston the signs have started to say "Lancashire" instead of Cumbria and I found that true to the signs Ulverston did used to be part of it. It also made for a change in the location box ;D.

Also good luck to everyone facing Japan tomorrow!

[hn9354]

Hello, Team England.:D

Thank you for making time. We are ready.
We open the chat room in 16:00(GMT).

Team Japan pilots
reach-big7, rerealm, Yamamo101so6, EdelWeiss

We are looking forward.

Best regards.

hn9354

[OBH]

Unlucky lads, was a hugely frustrating reverse tournament. Better luck next time. We'll have to arrange a grudge match at some stage.

Im going to sit out the scottish match. Feel personally responsible for losing to the Japanese (and immensely gutted), plus ive raced the last 3 anyway.

[Amorbis]

People interested in England match against Scotland:


Amorbis
Hellfire

Date has yet to be confirmed.

[Peh-Hok]

I'm up for the grudge match ;-)

[stin]

*Scottish players are watching very closely and preparing to destroy all the english so call players!!!!!!

We will make arrangements soon!;)

stevie:pirate

[KIGO1987]

^^^^^^^^^^^^ LOL at stins hidden message XD

How on earth did you Poms loose against the Japs?

[KGB]

Glad it was them and not the French. :D

[OBH]

I'm up for the grudge match ;-)

Yeah you were shi.... errrr... not fully warmed up :g


^^^^^^^^^^^^ LOL at stins hidden message XD

How on earth did you Poms loose against the Japs?

One of the fastest nations going mate, thats why. Plus we had to race 4 of them :beer

[KIGO1987]

I guess loosing against the Japs isnt that bad. As KGB said, loosing against the French is worse. You guys would probably loose your souls if that happened:g

[OBH]

For failing king and country we get taken to the tower and beheaded :g

[stin]

Please let us know your possible dates for this weekend?

stevie:)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Saturday or Sunday evening later than 7:30 is good with me, how's everyone else?

[Amorbis]

Next weekend I presume? I don't see anything wrong with that. I'm fine before 1930 too.

[stin]

Is it possible for Saturday at 8pm? because Scotland are playing against Japan at 5pm. But, we will find out eventually.

stevie:

[Amorbis]

Sounds good to me, 8PM is fine. Are you sure you'll be able to handle that on one day though? Two matches is quite a load!

[stin]

Yes, as long we are unbeatable! :pirateaaarrrgh!, but I`m prepare for that and hopefully they will!


stevie:)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Count me in, see you on Saturday ;)

[OBH]

Ill be a sub just in case, let me know i needs be.

Seems like stins in every topic trying to organise the scottish rabble to get to the races :) what a legend!

[Lance]

I don't think that the Scots dO 'rabble'.

[OBH]

You what!? their scottish! :g they do "rabble" the best!
Im half scottish, proud to have a little rabble in me :)

[Lance]

Rubble, maybe. ;) Like scones hard burned over an open fire.
Or sumthin.
['joke' kinda fades out]

[OBH]

Rabble (Noun)
1. a disorderly crowd of noisy people
2. the low or disorderly part of the populace
3. a disorderly collection

or known in the rest of the world as - the scottish :)

[Rapier Racer]

**** sounds like a night out at my favorite club lol

[Amorbis]

Andybob has expressed an interest in racing on Saturday. So far that makes the team me, Andybob and Hellfire. Anyone I've missed out? We still need one more :).

[stin]

Now we have three players atm and hopefully for fourth.:+

stevie:)

[Hellfire_WZ]

Just had a couple of races tonight after a short hiatus and I am VERY rusty. Will probably be online most of Saturday trying to get back in shape ;)

[OBH]

wheres greenix? he dead?
as i said, ill happily get involved if your down a man

[XBARNSTERX]

I wouldnt mind another go. Enjoyed the last one, loads of fun. Let me know if i'm needed :D

[Amorbis]

We've got five interested:


Amorbis
Hellfire
OLOuk
Andybob
Barnster

I asked OLO today, said he'd be happy to race. We shouldn't be short on the day then :D.

[Peh-Hok]

Good luck guys. Think it's best if I just stay out of the way for now ;) Will be battle ready again soon...

[Greenix]

Sorry guys, been busy past few weeks but thankfully not dead.. not yet anyways. And my my my... Japan... might just be the dark horse of the competition :O

I'm free for the Scots meet if you need me, although I'll have to get some practice. We have to win this, can't let Team AUS and Japan nab the top spots :pirate

Speaking of which, any idea how a 3 way tie is going to be solved if it does happen Haydn?

[Hellfire_WZ]

Could we use points accumulated? Bit like goal difference in football

[OBH]

I thought about that but ANZ have used 3 players for a couple of games, theyll be at a massive disadvantage.

On one hand, its deserved for fielding fewer players, but id rather not do that if at all possible.

Could have a 6 man race with 2 players from each team participating perhaps? :) Was the only idea i could think of that wouldnt but ANZ at a disadvantage.

Not 100% sure what should be done :)

[Greenix]

Could tally up everyones points but knock off the least scoring player's points on every race so we have a score based on 3 racers per race. Then again I guess that could have issues as well.

[SaturnReturn]

You could do it based on the scores against Scotland as a tie-breaker, seeing as it's coming down to that anyway. You'd have to make sure every team raced with the same number of players in all matches though.

[stin]

HUH!, look guys whoever you are!, as you aware Scotland will whup yer arses!!!!!!

Hey!, We will be there on Saturday and I hope you all gets drunk before play!

stevie:nod

[SaturnReturn]

Go Scotland. Beat them all, them they can still use their scores against you guys as a tie breaker for second place in the group. See? It's foolproof. Then again, if there's one team I would trust to mess it up....

[OBH]

i hope your not talking about england :) one loss in a year my friend :beer

[XBARNSTERX]

The first time i race for queen and country we lose :(

[OBH]

Bad omen!! Burn him!!! :g
jokes jokes jokes!

[Hellfire_WZ]

"How do you know he is a bad omen?"
"He looks like one!"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yp_l5ntikaU

[stin]

Sorry, I just checked through Social groups!!

Looks like we have possibly a full team! Teams are Tarquin, Rapier, stin and (possibly) Jasmin-jade.

stevie

[OBH]

We need 2 people to be in the playoff match. Greenix and Hellfire have been the best 2 pilots so far. Do you guys want in??

No date for a race yet, if you have specific times that suit you let me know and ill see if ANZ and japan can make it then.

[Hellfire_WZ]

If it comes to that, I don't mind. :)

[Greenix]

If it comes down to a 2v2v2 I'll be up for it :)
Ughh, no pressure.. right?
:cold

Availability wise, I'm free any day after 18:00 GMT and anytime on Sunday.
We need to make sure we have a back up as well.

[djKyoto]

Any chance you could record it HZ? Would be a awesome watch. :)

Looking at your availability, would Sunday GMT+0 11am be suitable for you two?

[OBH]

Dont fret Greenix mate :D Cool, controled flying, teamed with a badass partner :)

:+

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'm not around at all this weekend. I could do next weekend, or someone like Haydn or OLO could take my place.

[OBH]

Ill compete if needs be. I feel like others deserve the place over me, but im always ready to step into the fray :)

[Greenix]

Sunday 11:00am GMT +0 is good for me :+

Does this mean you are my badass partner haydn? :P

[OBH]

Yes mate! Back to the old skool! They're not gonna know what hit them :P

[Hellfire_WZ]

Kick some arse guys ;)

[djKyoto]

Yes mate! Back to the old skool! They're not gonna know what hit them :P

Most excellent.

/cracks knuckles :pirate

[OBH]

Hmmmm, who should we have against TFD??

To my knowledge Hellfire, Greenix, Amorbis and Andybob have played 2/3 with Peh-Hok, XBarnsterX and OLOuk having played 1.

Really dont want to lose this, and really want to compete in it, but ive been in 4 already! If i want to potentially try and blag my way into the final, it'll take the p*ss if i compete in this one too :g

[Hellfire_WZ]

I'd like to have a bash as it's very likely this will be my final appearence in the competition. Next Sunday evening is the only time I am available on a weekend, but during the week is fine. After that, I am away in Greece from the 23 October to the 1 November.

[SaturnReturn]

Hey guys

Well done on your victory. You wanna start trying to organise out match a bit sharp-ish? If Hellfire can only do Sunday evenings then that might be fine. That's our usual time for matches. So far all our matches were at 2100GMT+2, so that would be 8 P.M. in English. I'm not sure if there's some weird daylight savings shenanigans going down soon though so will have to check on that.

The only problem at the moment is a lack of certainty of where I'll be. My company is trying to deport me to Denmark, so if it happens suddenly then organisation might have to be passed to someone else.

But anyway, should be start to check availability for Sunday 11th October at 2100GMT+2?

[Hellfire_WZ]

That's good for me. Clocks don't change here for another couple of weeks so no issues there :)

[Amorbis]

So would that be 8pm in BST? I could do that, but I'll let other England pilots race first. If they can't then I'll race.

[SaturnReturn]

Indeed, 8 P.M. Bull Sh1t Time :P I gave up on calling it British Summer Time due to the almost complete lack of summer we had...I mean...you had...over there, in Engeland. ;)

[OBH]

Sent psn message to everyone, hopefully they reply soon.

[Amorbis]

After asking around it would seem that Andybob is interested in playing on Sunday. We'll have to ask Greenix, OLO and Peh as well.

So far possible racers include:

Andybob
Hellfire
Amorbis


I've raced in 3 so far so I'll sit out for anyone who has raced less.

[Greenix]

I've only raced in 2 (counting the 2v2v2) so count me in :D

[XBARNSTERX]

What about that guy, whats his name?
Oh, its me isnt it:D

[KGB]

Pity we couldn't watch this one as well. The 2v2v2 was great.

[Amorbis]

Sorry Barnster. :lol Do you want me to add you to the list?

Interested pilots for Sunday the 18th of October 8PM BST:

Hellfire
Greenix
Amorbis
Andybob
Barnster
OLO


I think that's a good amount of people, we should have no problems with attendance to the match.

[SaturnReturn]

As far as Dutchmen go - so far we have a threesome. Will hopefully hear from the others soon.

[XBARNSTERX]

Fridays fine with me guys:+
I'll have ta stay off the smoke for this one i think, its gonna get messy otherwise:blarg

[SaturnReturn]

Update - Currently no Yeldar or Luxo on Friday. I'm always a potential uncertainty on Friday nights. So unfortunately for Mad-Ice it doesn't like it'll work out. :( Sorry Mad.

Sunday we have an awesome foursome now - hopefully will have a backup too, just in case.

So I believe Sunday is on - pending final confirmation with Dutchmen. (One of them hasn't quite mastered the days of the week yet).

[Amorbis]

I can make it on Friday most likely, but still no definite time? I can make it after about 5:30PM BST. Sunday will be fine too.

Unfortunately OLO can't make it on Friday, so only me and Barnster so far for Friday?

[Mad-Ice]

That is just too bad for me then. Anyway, good races for all and may the best and most lucky win :D.

[OBH]

Good luck boys :+ No pirate shall plunder our isles.

[AnErare]

After a talk with Mad last night when I only knew Greenix was unavailable for tonight I was going to suggest we do not need to have this match this weekend. I felt this weekend might not be entirely comfortable for either team and we are in the semis :P

But if we're all ok with this then let's go for it.

Just a thought..

[KGB]

what day are you doing it on then? Come on England.

[Amorbis]

I looks like it's on Sunday at 8PM BST. Possible England players:


Amorbis
OLO
Greenix
Hellfire
Barnster
Andybob

Nothing solid as far as who is first to race, but I suppose we can decide on Sunday if necessary.

[SaturnReturn]

Yeldar's told me that he's only a maybe for Sunday. I think if we were missing yeldar and Mad-Ice then I would want to postpone. Will try to get a more definite answer out of him by tomorrow evening and let you guys know.

Yeldar still should be there. Luxoflux is having problems with Icaras online though. Apparently it keeps changing views on him and doesn't happen with any other ships. AnErare is constantly getting signed out of PSN, which could be a bit of a problem. But hopefully it will be fine tomorrow.

[AnErare]

Yeah I guess I had a slow connection to the PSN, logging on took a long time as well.. Anyway over the evening it got better so we'll see.

[Vartazian]

september 1st - NA WO Team books a defeated flight home:g:beer

Ahem... What was that OBH? ;)

[OBH]

Aww man, don't torture me!! :g Just cos my divine intervention wasnt in the semis :)

Such a difficult pill to swallow :P

[yeldar2097]

Well I worked your mirage pretty hard and you may want to book it in for a service but it did treat me very well so thanks for that ;)

If you want I could use it again against NAWT so that there's a little bit of OBH present in the final :P

[Vartazian]

haha yeldar just slap him in the face why dontcha!

Yeldar if you bring a bit of OBH then ill wana gun you AND OBH, Al of a sudden I get a 2 for 1 kill!

[OBH]

Gonna have to arrange a little "whoop Vart's arse tourny" when this is over :g

[Hellfire_WZ]

First arranged match for the doubles ladder? ;)

[OBH]

I like your thinking!!!! :g:D

[Amorbis]

Doubles ladder you say? I'd be up for some of that! I'll need a partner as eLhabib can't race until next year, maybe my eliminator-partner-to-be could help me here? Unless of course he already has a partner.

Is there any news on a runner up match against Australia? I'd be willing to give it a go if that's OK with everyone.

[OBH]

i suggeted this sunday in the anz thread. so far only hellfire responded.

but yeah man get involved :g you cruelly had to drop out the group match vs anz, some payback would be good :g

[yeldar2097]

Yeldar if you bring a bit of OBH then ill wana gun you AND OBH, Al of a sudden I get a 2 for 1 kill!

I might just have to gun you down in the final as a commiseration present to OBH ;)

...ok TE I'll stop hijacking your thread now...

[OBH]

you just wish you were english xD

[yeldar2097]

Suck my British Passport :P

[Vartazian]

7v1 Every vs Var eliminator match ;)

[OBH]

your funeral :beer thats a bit ambitious (and a destined failiure :g) even by your standards!

[Vartazian]

Never said I would win. I just thought it was a vart woopin tourney. :)

[yeldar2097]

Isn't that just a normal tourney? ;)

*runs, hides, weeps*

:g

[Vartazian]

Brb, Crying ;)

[djKyoto]

You guys just want to race the same time as last time, 11am GMT+0 this Sunday?

I'm sure we'll have at least 3 people for it.
