SL/TT Challenge Criteria Choice Thread

[Lance]

From Dark_Phantom_89, who requested that the thread title be changed to apply to new challenges beyond the original shown below the dashed line.:

This thread is for choosing what criteria you'd like to see used for the Speed Lap/Time Trial Challenge.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To celebrate Christmas and the New Year, I'm letting you guys choose the criteria for the next two weeks with regards to the Speed Lap and Time Trial Challenge. I have created a multiple choice poll, as I'd like you to vote twice (i.e. your choice for the Christmas and New Year weeks.)

Also, please state whether you'd like the Forward or Reverse tracks - if there are more votes for a track but not stating whether it's forward or reverse, I will assume that it's forward. I'll take a quick vote count next week and will do the same for the week after.

On a side note, thank you to all who have kept these challenges alive for the past 14 weeks (yes, 14!) Personally I love doing these and hope that you guys feel the same

So, without further ado, please vote for the criteria that you'd like to attempt for the challenges.

Christmas challenge:

Speed class:_

Track [please indicate fwd or rvs]:_

Ship:_


New Years's challenge:

Speed class:_

Track [please indicate fwd or rvs]:_

Ship:_

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Sorry Lance, I didn't mean to become a serial thread starter. Please accept my apologies.

[KGB]

Are we sorted now :P.

Speed class: Phantom

Track: Moa Therma - reverse

Ship: Icaras

[Lance]

No problem, DP.
And I've made the change you suggested.

If you want both Christmas and New Year's challenges, should I add a second group and label each or would that complicate things too much>

[Dark_Phantom_89]

A second group would be nice, but whatever you feel is best with regards to keeping the forum tidy, I'll go with Lance.

@ Dark_Phantom_89 - Cool to see how you manage to organize those sl/tt challenges. It's the kind of events that keeps the game alive like kanar's avalon and Connavar's website, when the official leaderboards are f****d.
Cool too to see guys like Kgb or Blackwiggle participating :)
Great work ! :+


ps : If it's phantom with icaras for the xmas challenge, i may participate :D

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Thanks Leungbok, much appreciated :)

[PSMuF]

Hurray for Speed Lap challenge! I've actually been trying them for a few weeks now, but I never bothered to post my times because they were so bad compared to all those that were posted, you guys are really good at this! Congrats!

For christmas, I suggest letting Piranha have a go, it wasn't ever used in any weekly challenge and needs love. It's all red and white and full of ho ho ho too (or is it chomp chomp chomp? bah, whatever.).

For the speed category, anything would do, but I would favor Phantom.
Track doesn't matter either, but how about doing it on snowy Sebenco? Seems like the most christmas-y track in the game!

Looking forward to what comes up! Until then, take care, drive safe!

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Don't feel ashamed to post times PSMuF, the challenge is all about improving your Wipeout skills. I'm usually at the bottom of the leaderboard myself most weeks!

[KGB]

If it's phantom with icaras for the xmas challenge, i may participate :D

Thought you might. :hyper :+

[kanar]

Are we sorted now :P.

Speed class: Phantom

Track: Moa Therma - reverse

Ship: Icaras


:rock +1, I would be glad to participate too (christmas)

[amplificated]

I guess I wouldn't mind having a reason to start giving Phantom a shot over the holiday season, and I don't mind which track we use... as for ship, why not celebrate with the Icaras :P

Christmas challenge:

Speed class: Phantom

Track: Moa Therma (Reverse)

Ship: Icaras

-------------------------------------
New Year's challenge:

Speed class: Phantom

Track: Ubermall (Reverse)

Ship: Icaras

[KGB]

What's going on here then!!! I thought I would be laughed out of town for my suggestion.

It will be great if Leungbok and Kanar join in too.

[Lance]

Would you guys please make it easier for Dark_Phantom to count the votes by putting your answers in the basic format for both the Christmas and New Year's challenges?

[brainbeat]

Christmas challenge:

Speed class: Phantomn

Track Tech de ra forward

Ship Icarus

New year,s challenge

Speed class: Phantomn

Track anulpha pass reverse

Ship Icarus

[leungbok]

For both challenges = icaras and phantom ;)
Christmas : sol 2 reverse
New year : modesto forward
:)

[PSMuF]

Gosh, the huge popularity of Icaras is feeding my hatred of the ship again. I've got nothing really against it, except that it's so overused in speed lap. Seeing all those pages of Icaras in the records makes me despise it :(
Then again, it's a great reason to actually try and do better, so I'm also thankful for all the Icaras love going around!

... But Piranha bites your wings off, just you wait...

[AG-wolf]

Christmas challenge:

Speed class: Rapier

Track: Modesto Reverse

Ship: Piranha


New year's challenge

Track Amphiseum Forward
