Casual 2-on-2 Challenge Thread (Test)

[Challenger #001]

First of all, to get everything out of the way, I have no idea if this is going to become a regular feature or not. I'm simply giving this a go because of the popularity of the last doubles league and interest from people on the 1v1 thread. I have no idea whether or not this is going to take off. Personally, I'm preparing myself for the worst, but hoping for the best. ^^;

---

One of the apparently most popular staples on the board last year was the 2v2 championship, but as is regular knowledge, we have had an influx of new pilots wanting more races and a couple of the old ones have dropped out. Given the presence of the looming WipEout HD Cup, it's not going to be easy to run a full championship for either the teams or countries as much as there has been great interest in it. So instead I've decided to open up my 1v1 Challenge idea to a greater audience.


I understand that these are going to be much harder to organise, so please, for everyone's sake, read the rules!

-A team may be made up of any two pilots who have initially agreed upon their partnership through a remnant of the old thread, or by prior agreement over PMs or on the thread as a direct offer to another pilot.

e.g. Pilot 1 wishes to enter a doubles race. He looks for his friend, Pilot 2, and requests to join forces. Pilot 2 agrees.

-You are not limited to one team-mate. You may swap at will, including the possibility of racing against your old team-mate. AG-Racing is a cut throat business after all. ;3

-The new found team-mates choose their tracks. Each pilot picks two tracks to race on. These may be:

A standard race that may be any track, at any speed class, in any direction, with weapons on or off, with any number of laps.

OR

A green race that is raced at Phantom Level for 7 laps on any track, with only Autopilot, Turbo and Shield allowed to be used. Any other weapons must be absorbed.

OR

An Eliminator at Target 200, at any track, at any speed class, in any direction.

OR

A Zone Battle at any tracks with the following Zone Targets:
Pure 4 and Anulpha Pass (50)
Vineta K and Moa Therma (45)
Metropia and The Amphiseum (40)
Modesto Heights, Tech de Ra, Sol 2 and Ubermall (35)
Sebenco Climb, Chenghou Project and Talon's Junction (30)

-The same track must not be repeated within the team's four tracks in either direction.

-The teams pick their ships. This is perfectly open to you to decide between HD and Fury ships, but you must stick with these choices throughout your races. No changing. In addition, the following restrictions apply.

AG-Systems may not ally with Triakis
Icaras may not ally with Goteki 45
Qirex may not ally with Auricom

-One of the two posts on this thread with the details of their challenge in a clear, well-listed format.

e.g. Pilot 1 and Pilot 2 await a challenge!

We will fly the Piranha Fury and the FEISAR Fury

Pilot 1's tracks:
Vineta K Forward, Venom Race, Weapons On
Anulpha Pass Forward, Flash Race, Weapons On

Pilot 2's tracks:
Moa Therma Reverse, Rapier Race, Weapons On, 10 Laps
Chenghou Project Reverse, Phantom Race, Weapons Off

-If another pilot or two pilots think the challenge is worth taking up, they can confirm their partnership over Private Messages.

e.g. Pilot 3 and Pilot 4 have both expressed their interest and 1 and 2's challenge. 4 then messages 3 to set up a team.

-One of the two pilots then posts in a reply that SPECIFICALLY STATES which challenge they are accepting in a similar thread.

e.g. Pilot 3 and Pilot 4 accept Pilot 1 and Pilot 2's challenge!

We will fly the Icaras HD and the Mirage Fury

Pilot 3's Tracks:
Metropia Reverse, Flash Eliminator, Target 200
Sebenco Climb Forward, Zone Battle, Target 30

Pilot 4's Tracks:
Ubermall Forward, Zone Battle, Target 35
Sol 2 Reverse, Green Race

-All pilots should then message the person who idealised the challenge initially (Pilot 1), explaining all the dates and times within the coming week that they will be available to play WipEout HD Fury online for at least an hour. If possible, try and keep it to the weekends and Friday. If possible, state your times GMT.

-Pilot 1 is then responsible for hosting a room five minutes before the set time set to 'invite only'. Pilot 1 should also ideally make a chat room for the race, or alternatively use the Avalon Lounge. In that case, if you are in the Avalon Lounge and are not participating in the 2v2 match, please have the decency to either stay quiet and spectate until the end, or leave.

-If you have not arrived 15 minutes after the set time, your team forfeits the races you would have taken part in and the challenge goes ahead regardless.

e.g. Pilot 4 has not turned up for the races 15 minutes after the dedicated start time and has not messaged in advance to explain that he is running late. Pilot 4's races are therefore said to have been won by the opposing team, and Pilot 3 must fly on his own against Pilots 1 and 2.

-After all the individual pilots' races have been raced, it is possible that there is still a draw. This is where the standard race comes in. This race is NOT NEGOTIABLE and MUST BE RACED.


The standard race is SEBENCO CLIMB FORWARDS, RAPIER RACE, WEAPONS OFF

-When the race is done, thank your opponents and post the results on this thread in again, a clear, concise format. The points allocation is as follows: 5 points for 1st, 3 points for 2nd, 2 points for 3rd and 1 point for last place.

e.g.


Pilot 1/Pilot 2 vs Pilot 3/Pilot 4

Pilot 1's tracks:
Vineta K Forward, Venom Race, Weapons On: 1, 3 , 4, 2,
Anulpha Pass Forward, Flash Race, Weapons On: 3 , 1, 4, 2

Pilot 2's tracks:
Moa Therma Reverse, Rapier Race, Weapons On, 10 Laps: 2, 3, 4, 1
Chenghou Project Reverse, Phantom Race, Weapons Off: 2, 4, 1, 3

Pilot 3's Tracks:
Metropia Reverse, Flash Eliminator, Target 200: 3, 1, 4, 2
Sebenco Climb Forward, Zone Battle, Target 30: 4,1, 2, 3

Pilot 4's Tracks:
Ubermall Forward, Zone Battle, Target 35: 4, 2, 1, 3
Sol 2 Reverse, Green Race: 2, 4, 3, 1

Standard Race:
Sebenco Climb Forward, Rapier Race, Weapons Off: 2, 3, 4, 1

Total Team 1: 21+28 = 49
Total Team 2: 24+26 = 50

Victory for Team 2 (Pilots 3+4)!

-Any connection issues should be dealt with when it comes to it. For example, if Pilot 1 is having connection issues, he should pass hosting duties to Pilot 2. If it is still causing problems, allow Pilot 3 and then Pilot 4 to try hosting. If you suffer several (i.e. more than 2) disconnections, the match is called off for another time.

-Have Fun!

[TwitchySpitfire]

Challenger, I'd be willing to be your team-mate. We should do Pirhana Fury and EG-X Fury versus the opposing team.

[Jav]

Nice, but why don't we use the ingame tournament function to count points? Otherwise the only thing that matters is who finishes 1st.

e.g.

Pilot 1: 32 points
Pilot 2: 64 points
Team 1: 96 points

Pilot 3: 48 points
Pilot 4: 40 points
Team 2: 88 points

Team 1 wins!

[Challenger #001]

Miiiight be a better idea come to think of it, Jav. I was trying to keep it simple, but bearing in mind we're using teams it'll work better. Thanks for the input. ^^

Cool :beer

Btw we have 2 GMT-5's, 1 GMT 0 and 1 GMT+1.

I'm on most nights so shouldn't be an issue if Challenger is cool with evening/night, that way we can all get on at respectable local times. Perhaps 10pm GMT 0? What about Friday people?

[TwitchySpitfire]

The time sounds good to me. We may need to give challenger a soda for the races. :rock

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Woop and me are interested in partnering up for this, but we need a little more clarification on the points system. I see that you've got a system going on the first post Chal, but it's heavily dependant on who finishes 1st only.

[Challenger #001]

Friday at 10? It's a date. ;3

And as for the calls for a point system, your wish is my command.

5 points for 1st
3 points for 2nd
2 points for 3rd
1 point for 4th

As you can see in the example above, proves for much closer racing. ;3 I'll probably have to enforce that everyone brings along a pen and paper though so they can record the scores for double-checks at the end. ;3

[QjonPL]

Maybe you can use a speedway scoring system (it's 2vs2 duels too :) ):
1st 3p
2nd 2p
3rd 1p
4th 0 points :pirate

[Challenger #001]

I thought about that, but I thought that a first position is more valuable than a second, so I gave it a points boost - so I would have had 4-2-1-0, but then I also thought it was a bit demoralising getting no points having made the effort to turn up and all. So I boosted the scores by one.

[SaturnReturn]

I'm not sure I understand the reason for the point system. Isn't it now exactly the same now as the standard scoring system, just that every player gets 3 fewer points per race, so it's all offset equally? First place still earns two more points than second. With fourth still getting a single point, this is what makes it focused on first place, because one player could come first in every race/event, and as long as their teammate is there to pick up the one point, then they'll win. This was discussed in the doubles thread when it was to be revived.

I don't think it's a big deal for a casual fun thing like this at all, and don't want to derail anything by starting a big discussion about it, but on the surface it looks the same as always, so it would seem to make sense to just use the standard system to make life easier, as normal races will already be in that format and only ZB or eliminator events will have to be added on.

[Challenger #001]

I sent a message to Saturn, but so this doesn't become a huge on-topic discussion, the idea of low points is so that DNF's don't count as severely towards the points total.

In other news, I decided to have a go at using a universally acclaimed psychic prediction scheme to find out the winner of our race. And the result?

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Haha, funny Chal. Paul has got it wrong before though... :lol

[hacenetchik]

hacenetchik and AiiRW0LF await a challenge!

We will fly the Assegai Fury and the Feisar Fury

yeah big thanks challenger for bringing back to life the double league (here) (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7573&page=15). If Feisar-CSY is still up for that (my double partner), I'm up to play some in a near future.

[Aeroracer]

[Challenger #001]

Sorry, forgot to add - well raced you two. ;) I knew you two were both out of our leagues, but thanks for playing at least. ^^ And the eliminator was a blast. :D I enjoyed Metropia too, though that was probably the toughest race of my career. In any case, that's the Piranha retired...

[Jav]

Yeah was a nice 2v2. Like I said, really like the idea of playing in a team. No nonsense 2v2 as well, no interruptions etc. That Eliminator was a sicko! :D WP you two.

[TwitchySpitfire]

Yeah that Eliminator was fun. Maybe we should do an Eliminator 2 vs 2 only tournament. I think it would work as it's something everyone can easily get into.

I have to agree with Chal that you guys played awesomely. :rock

[Challenger #001]

Well, while online tonight I ended up in a room with Woopzilla, DP and Fyue, so if Twitchy you'll excuse my jumping ship from America to France, we teamed up for a few races. Unfortunately it seemed it didn't go down well with Woopzilla, so condolances to you mate. Sorry to hear that. D: In any case, here's the result.

Challenger #001/Fyue3 vs Dark_Phantom_89/Woopzilla

Challenger's Tracks:
Vineta K Rev, Phantom Race, Weapons On, 10 Laps: Chal - Fyue - DP - Woop

(Did not complete final event)

Total Team 1: 18+30 = 48
Total Team 2: 24+15 = 39

Victory for Team 1 (Challenger #001 and Fyue3)!

[TwitchySpitfire]

Dang! Dude(s), that looked like a close race! No worries about changing teams, Fyue is an ally in my book. :P

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Well played lads. It was a shame about all of the cambodia going around even in a 4 man race, but you two did very well. Chal, you're becoming quite formiddable on the tracks now. ;)

[JJPAP]

Challenger: I really like your idea of reviving the idea of the 2 vs 2!!!
It´s a brilliant concept!
I´ll see if I can make/(wake) up my old (actually younger!) bro´, Zoth-Ommog, to do some races w/ me again vs some of you guys (for the fun of it!).

Very hushhush: Zoth and I were record-breakers! Not for winning an awful lot of races, but for participating a lot! LOL. Always fun.
I really consider it!

we can set new track/speed if it is needed

:rock:rock:rock

[Challenger #001]

I'm checking to see if DE wants to do a round with me, Hace ;3 Otherwise, I'm sure Twitchy and I can apply.

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

kanar,you still around? Maybe we should so some races with other pairings. We've not done a single one as a team.
(Goodness Gracious for time difference.I'm in GMT+8,kanar is in GMT+1)

[TwitchySpitfire]

I'm checking to see if DE wants to do a round with me, Hace ;3 Otherwise, I'm sure Twitchy and I can apply.

Yep. Let me know if I'm needed.

[Colonel]

Maybe we should do an Eliminator 2 vs 2 only tournament. I think it would work as it's something everyone can easily get into.

Now that I'd be up for :hyper

[Nutcase:259]

After the UK v France team race id be up for this, any one wanna be my wiper buddy? :g i know, don't all rush at once :lol :cold

i warn you though, i occasionally suffer from a peculiar form of drag known as myself :g

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'll pair up with you if you want Nut. I'm sure Woop wouldn't mind. ;)

[Nutcase:259]

*jumps at the chance*:D:rock

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

kanar...where are you...maybe we should do a 2v2 for fun...

Luxoflux/yeldar2097/P_Denton/challenger001

Yeldar was apparently filming, so vids will be up, but all I can say for certain is the final scores.


251 - 213 to Luna-BGD, Dark_Phantom_89, DreamyElf and Hacenetchik!

[SaturnReturn]

Impressive! If I were a betting man, I would have totally gone the other way on that one. Although it would always be close with that line up so perhaps with the right odds I would take a chance.

[hacenetchik]

Big thanks for making that 4vs4 happens :+

It was really fuun !

lol ZB races were likes :

"barrrier" :brickwall "barrrier" :brickwall "barrrier" :brickwall

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I had a blast in the 4 v 4 last night - we were completely owned on the Pure Four tracks. I don't have the individual finishing positions of each race, but I do have the totals:

Dark_Phantom_89 = 62
LUNA_bgd = 59
hacenetchik = 55
yeldar2097 = 54
Luxoflux = 43
DreamyElf = 39
challenger001 = 18
P_Denton = 18

First round scores were 215 - 133

We lost 80 - 36 on the ZB's though, bringing the final score to:

251 - 213

[Challenger #001]

XD Denton and I just couldn't decide who wanted to be last.

[DreamyElf]

Yeah, that team races were amazing!
Thx chal for organizing this (you also managed to make me quit GT5, that says a lot^^) and of course all the pilots who participated!:+

[F.E.I.S.A.R]

So a 2v2 challenge became a maniac 4v4 team challenge? I wish I was there.
Which team is better at Zone Battle? The team Challenger #001 was on?

[Challenger #001]

Yeah. XD Denton and I are ZB specialists, but it was kind of a problem because we were squabbling for 7th at most tracks on the other races.

Edit: Who wants to take on me and P_Denton in 4 Zone Battles? :D

[yeldar2097]

I beat you in one of the ZBs, that's good enough for me ^_^

P.S. The ship pairing restriction confuses me massively.

[Jav]

:D Seemed a fun 4v4

[Challenger #001]

@Jav: It was ^^ Maybe try and join TFD to get some 4v4 goodness in. ;3

@yeldar: It's just a bit of fluff mostly, but also to counter evil G45/Icaras combos. Also, I can see Triakis/AG-S being a bit of a double whammy in eliminator heavy events. Those two pairings also have some background rivalry and given that I decided as a laugh to outlaw Auricom/Qirex, it seemed like a good idea.

Videos of the crazy 4v4 on Saturday night (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/showpost.php?p=187362&postcount=1784)

:dizzy

[Jav]

Enjoyed those Yeld cheers. Gotta say luck wasn't exactly on your side. :( LOL @ the Amphi rev finish though!

[yeldar2097]

Well a few of the tracks it was my first time racing them in about 10 weeks so that explains some of the misfortune/craptastic driving. Other than that, 8 evenly paced racers with weapons flying everywhere and odd couples ganging up on various victims here n there, well, you get the idea. Makes for crazy races :dizzy

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Cheers for the vids yeldar - they make for excellent viewing. :g

Was complete chaos with the lot of us in there but it was fun nonetheless.

[Challenger #001]

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at the fact that I usually appear at the top at the start of the race, before beginning my inevitable slide backwards. :frown:

[IDReaper]

Hey guys I haven't played for a while due to a spike in the difficulty of my classes recently. But if anyone would like to do a 2v2 event with me I'm in, needs the practice :D

But i fired some missiles or two so its all good ^_^
We must race more sometimes, i got your back on moa rev when DP was chasing my butt
You won and i second that was a good race :)

[Jav]

Omg epic quality vids! :beer :)

[SpeedKAng96]

Hey guys, me and AiirW0LF had a 2 vs 2 against DreamyElf and Dark_phantom yesterday. We had a 10-track tourney.

The team who won was Dark_phantom and DreamyElf with 120 points,
my team was 10 points behind.

I recorded the races, you can watch them on Youtube. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHZ53z-LkQY)

We should be partners then! I'd love to 2v2 as well but lack friends. :C

Of course, you'd have to forgive all my rookie mistakes!

[Challenger #001]

triboy? You still interested? We could do Oryx/Frailavi vs You/Me. :3 Or any arrangement thereof.

[Oryx Crake]

lol thats cool avi I'm definitly up for that your as fast as me at least :)
besides I make rookie mistakes too just watch my cup vids XD

I'm up for that chall :D

[Frailavi]

Alright then! I'll leave all the scheduling up to you then? I'm currently about to pass out as it's 4:30. Any time is pretty good, Challenger001 just received my schedule in a PM for the 1v1 so it should be fine.

Can't wait to race along side you, Oryx!

I'll ask Denton if he's up for it Chal. Not sure if he's generally available during the week though.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'll do it if anyone wants to fly with me.

I'll choose Sebenco Rev and Metropia Fwd, Phantom Weps Off.

[R3BU5ER]

Yeah sorry guys, but for some reason I'm being a bit fed-up with playing wipeout lately, so that's the main reason of silence on my part. But my partner wil either be il_mago or z1rOrei. I will ask them soon and will get back at you guys. :)

*edit* my tracks will be: sol2 rev weps off
Talons weps on (phantom off course)

[Colonel]

Sorry I'm not going to be around until tomorrow night Chal, so you'd be better off racing someone else if you're doing it tonight.

Now can I just say that the only thing that would have made these better races would have been if there had been video channels. The Eliminators and Flash races were simply fantastic, and I'd love to do more at some point. :) See everyone - WipEout isn't just about Phantom Single Races and Time Trials. ^^

[Colonel]

Yeah it was a good sesh, I was a little worse for wear though, despite the switch to cordial for most of it. Still a lot of fun anyway.

[Challenger #001]

Just thought I'd update this with a new standard race.

STANDARD RACE IS A RAPIER RACE AT TECH DE RA FORWARD, WEAPONS ON, BARREL ROLLS ON

We need more challenges, lads and lassies! :P Check the boards on this page to see if you and your team have set a challenge or not, and pick another team! :D Don't make me poke you guys into it. ;)

Thanks to both of you for racing - I can't imagine it was easy, but I had a lot of fun doing it and I'm sure you did as well. :) My login for Wipeout-arena doesn't seem to work, so I'm afraid I can't post it there. Sorry. :S

[R3BU5ER]

What about blowing some fresh air in the 2vs2 action ey? 1vs1 is fun, but this is awesome guys come oooon! Who's ready to double up and race?! :hyper:bat

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Ahh, go on then. I'll team up with you if you want R3.

[R3BU5ER]

Sounds good DP :) So, who are we racing? 8)

[Colonel]

Ah cracking. I promised Chal I would try to kick start this thread again and I've been hopeless. I was going to team up with Denton a while back but I've not seen much of him recently.

So anyway if anyone would like a partner to play against R3 and DP, I'm here. :)

[Oryx Crake]

I'll help ya col if you'd like ^_^

[greenymac]

I'll throw myself into this as well. I'd be happy to team with Colonel or Oryx if either one of you cant make it or times dont match up.

[R3BU5ER]

Ok cool fellas, my tracks:

Sol2 rev. Weps off
Tech de ra rev. Weps off

[Colonel]

I'll help ya col if you'd like ^_^

Superb, I figured either yourself or Greeny would volunteer :g

Greeny as you say, if either myself or Oryx are unavailable for some reason you will make a great stand-in pilot :+

I just hope I'm on better form than the 2v2 I did with DP, Chal and Denton. I was woeful that night. Anyway I'm free most evenings and erm, all weekends really.

[Oryx Crake]

and we both did XD anyway

choices:
metropia fwd weapons on
modesto heights fwd weapons off

I will of course be in my Harimau+

[Colonel]

I will also fly the Fury Harimau. My choices:

Zone Battle @ Vineta K Reverse (45 target)
Eliminator @ Moa Therma, Rapier (200 target as specified in the rules, although if all other players are happy I'd ask that we raise this to 260, to make it less of a lottery).

[R3BU5ER]

Allright, target 260 would be Ã* little more exiting maybe :) Now let's wait for DP's choices. I would be available mostly later at nights, when I have the livingroom for myself... Say from 22:00 GMT or on Saturday. (Sunday and Monday are not possible for me)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Chenghou Project Reverse
The Amphiseum Reverse

Both Phantom and Weps Off

I'm available every night from 10pm onwards.

[Challenger #001]

Thanks for keeping this going, guys. ^^ Greenymac, if you want to hunt down a few other players to keep it going, please feel free.

One thing I want to say about this thread... I'm going to have to initiate some SERIOUS spring cleaning about here. We have a dozen unaccepted challenges, and I've half a mind to whip you all until you all tell me whether or not you're doing what you set yourselves to here. At least tell me if you're no longer interested in a 2v2 so I can cross you off the list of people who've advertised...

[Oryx Crake]

blah sorry about being absent there for a day or two got dragged out into the country by my loving parents, where there is very little in the way of internets. anyway I'm free pretty much all week so you guys set a date and time and I'll be there!

[Colonel]

Likewise, I'm free most of the week. There's boxing on tonight so I won't be online then, but I'm free from lunchtime tomorrow til about midnight.

[R3BU5ER]

Hi guys, what about Friday evening? Just saw your message Colonel, but tonight I've got some stuff to attend to...

[greenymac]

I await a partner to join my cause!

My track choices will be 1. Talons Junction fwd weps on phantom class
2. Sebenco climb reverse weps on phantom class I will be flying the Furymau

[Colonel]

Hi guys, what about Friday evening? Just saw your message Colonel, but tonight I've got some stuff to attend to...

Yeah apparently DP is away this week, not sure if he'll be back by Friday either, so we may have to wait a bit. Not to worry.

[R3BU5ER]

Okay that's fine, we'll Plan something else :)

[Frailavi]

Yeah apparently DP is away this week, not sure if he'll be back by Friday either, so we may have to wait a bit. Not to worry.

DP said he'll be back Friday. Although it might be wise to give him an extra day anyhow.

[Oryx Crake]

I'll be ready to race any day of the weekend just so long as I have some forewarning.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I can race tonight, but I'll be rusty as hell.

[Oryx Crake]

I'm game!

[R3BU5ER]

Ai, I didn't really expect this was still going through tonight. Hmm, I'm out now, but when I'm back before 23:00 GMT, I'll just check online if you guys are there. Maybe we can still race :) Sorry guys

[Colonel]

Sorry guys, wasn't online much this weekend so kind of missed it. Will be on most nights this week though.

[Oryx Crake]

Ok how bout this? say wednesday at 22:00 gmt? :) just you know to set a date in advance and all that :)

[R3BU5ER]

Yeah that should work for me :)

[Colonel]

That's fine with me too.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Fine by me as well.

[R3BU5ER]

I think we have Ã* date! :rock

[Colonel]

Cracking. I'd better spend tonight and tomorrow trying to scrape together some semblance of dignity at phantom. :paperbag

[R3BU5ER]

Same goes for my zone battle and eliminator skills! Too bad I haven't really got time to practice before Wednesday... Luckily for me DP69 is really into elim and zone battle lately :D

C y'all then and let's have a silly chat going :)

Oh and these scores are a proper ballache to calculate and type out haha.

[Oryx Crake]

That was an epic match! DP was on fire I was doing pretty well on some tracks and R3 was right on my ass (or I on his) not a dull moment close all the way through... well the scores sort of speak for themselves as you can see... I can only hope to have more such matches!

Thanks lads was a pleasure.

[R3BU5ER]

Despite my emberassing performance I had lot's of fun! :)
Was a pleasure racing you guys, and I've had a few good weps off races with oryx afterwards :) Hopefully we'll do this again sometime. Thnx guys!

[Colonel]

Videos sorted...

[zero3growlithe]

Hmmm, i have to find someone to race with and i'm in:D (maybe Tiduch...hmmm)

[R3BU5ER]

I'm also in for another 2vs2! Who wants to join? I promise, I'll try to stay sober and not embarrass myself again :rock

[zero3growlithe]

If i can assist you in race with other group, that would be fun :D
Tiduch don't seem to be very interested in it i think :blarg

[Oryx Crake]

I'd be happy to race with you R3 if you'll have me. If so, then this time it'll be in my new baby Mirage HD!

[R3BU5ER]

I'd be very honoured to race with both Of you guys ofcourse, but I think to keep it a little more competitive, I race with oryx, and we should find another pilot to race with zero3. You guys agree? Oh yeah and I'll only race on 1 condition: we all join the silly 2vs2 chat! :P

[zero3growlithe]

Ok, even good as Tiduch finally replied to my message where i asked for his choices after he agreed to race :D And happily i'll join silly chat room :blarg:nod
My choices:
Chenghou Project @ Phantom - 5 laps - Wep Off
Modesto Heights @ Phantom - 5 laps - Wep Off
Tiduch's choices:
Modesto Heights Rev @ Phantom - 6 laps - Wep Off
Metropia @ Rapier - Eliminator

[Oryx Crake]

wow this is gonna be a cool match :g

choices:

Phantom race 5 laps weps off Chenghou project reverse
phantom race 10 laps weapons off tech de ra reverse

should make things interesting eh?

[R3BU5ER]

Okay guys, that's cool... 2 polish beasts in one team lol and Lot's of weps off racing, so my choices:

Sol2 rev weps on
Moa rev weps on

This is going to be a tuff one oryx, now all we have to do is plan a date :)

Zero3, I see 2 times Modesto fw weps off, would you be so kind to change one? Otherwise it's a bit lame...

[Oryx Crake]

oh very tough! it will be my honour to race these beasts though and it will be an honour to be on your team too R3! as for dates... on wednesday Syrennia from the forum comes to sweden so preferably before then but I defer to you guys :) (that is I can still play after wednesday but my schedule will be tighter)

[zero3growlithe]

Ah... my mistake, sorry, changed my modesto to reverse :D
EDIT: No, wait... Tiduch's modesto was reverse :brickwall Forgot to add "rev" to it :redface:

[R3BU5ER]

Unfortunatly I won't be able to race tonight, I'll be working till late, but tomorrow or another day this week is fine :)

[zero3growlithe]

Ok, R3BU5ER and Tiduch agreed to thursday, how about you Oryx?

[Oryx Crake]

[Challenger #001]

The Polish Mafia is still running strong. :P Good to see you guys keeping this up. Brings a smile to my face. I'm looking forward to getting stuck into a race or three when I'm back.

[R3BU5ER]

Sure challenger. We'll try to keep 'm coming. Not sure if anybody willing to have me though the next time, I'm not doing too well in these challenges lol.

[trackripper]

Sure challenger. We'll try to keep 'm coming. Not sure if anybody willing to have me though the next time, I'm not doing too well in these challenges lol.

You could always go with me, but on the other hand we wouldn't win anything :P

[greenymac]

I havent been playing much lately, but I'd be down for some 2 on 2 action if anyone is interested in teaming up.

[R3BU5ER]

Lol trackripper, I wouldn't even want to be seen with a triakis online! ;) (just kiddin)

Oryx_crake and R3BU5ER are putting out another challenge, so who are going to take these two Vikings down? :lol

[erich123]

l can take it if anyone will race with me;)

And by the way we Norweagian are the real vikings.hehe

[zero3growlithe]

I'm still in if somebody wants to race with me :D Maybe some endurance races someone wants to experience? :cowboy

[erich123]

Hey mate look one post up:)

[zero3growlithe]

Team 1 Linked:
Zero3Growlithe ~~ Erich123

Awaiting team 2... :g

[Oryx Crake]

Oh gods Zero and Erich! XD R3 we need training sessions XD

[R3BU5ER]

You guys against us is a lovely line-up I think :d

I'd be in for endurance races (I'd suggest 10 laps though) and I have another suggestion to make these races even more competitive: what about blue items absorb only? :rock

Edit* Oryx, I think this is a very balanced match, I've raced all of you 3 very often and always racing tight as hell :)

[zero3growlithe]

Blue items absorb only?!?.... what the hell, why not green and blue absorb only :twisted
btw. Endurance and only 10 laps :P Come on :hyper:lol

EDIT: Somebody else must record those races as i've already written R.I.P on my camera and sent it to hell

[R3BU5ER]

Never green absorbing lol, and if we all do 20 lap endurance it's going to take some time, that's why I thought of 10. But hey, it's just an idea to debate on ;)

[zero3growlithe]

Eight 20 laps races XD We're mad enough to make it? Who's in after this 2vs2?
btw. Ok, so blue absorb and 10 laps... how many endurances? Two should be enough

[erich123]

l'm in for both 10 or 20 laps. But prefer green races,and 2 rounds seems good:)

[R3BU5ER]

I'm really starting to get fed-up with the weapons so I'm totally in for making it green! (all of it :D )

[zero3growlithe]

Okey, so we get Oryx's opinion and we're giving our tracks on table :g

[Ace3cube]

Ace3 saw the word "green" !
lol where ? when ? \o/

[greenymac]

I like how I said I was looking for a partner yet everyone skipped right over me:frown:

[R3BU5ER]

Greeny, ace3, maybe we can just make this a 3vs3 totally green battle :)

Erich, zero3, greeny VS ace3, oryx, R3BU5ER.

How about that :)

[erich123]

Hey why not,fine with me.;)

[greenymac]

that works for me, but I need to know exactly how a green race is run and today isnt the best day for me as I have to work in a few hours...How does tomorrow or later in the week sound to everyone?

[erich123]

A green race means only use of turbo,shield,autopilot and boost.
The rest you must absorb;)

[zero3growlithe]

3vs3 = killing frenzy races :g I'm fine with it, no problem :D (sorry greeny for skipping you :redface: ) When do we race?
btw. Who'll record this?
btw2:
My tracks:
Sebenco Climb fwd/10 laps/phantom/wep off :g
Anulpha Pass fwd/10 laps/phantom/wep off

[greenymac]

Ive never tried it but that sounds EXCELLENT...sounds like a breeding ground for personal bests with no offensive weapons to slow you down...
My selections will be 1.talons junction fwd. phantom-green
2. sol2 reverse phantom -green.

[R3BU5ER]

Don't worry greeny, it will certainly be not today. First we will have to wait for Oryx's reply and ace3, but my guess is they are both in for it :)

My tracks: amphiseum fwd
Talon's junction rev

Both green :) looking forward to dis one! :)

[erich123]

My tracks will be Metropia F and Ubermall F:)
Green and clean:D 10 laps

[R3BU5ER]

Greeny and ace3, You weren't on my list yet, so sent you an add over Psn.

[Oryx Crake]

Well I'm in for that :)

choices:
Chenghou Rev 5 laps green
Tech de ra rev 10 laps green

[R3BU5ER]

Okay cool Oryx :) Ace3cube? Are you in for this?

* oh yeah and sorry challenger, that we are making our own rules here :p Well, at least there is some action going on :)

[Ace3cube]

No problem ^_^
But i dont know when I could play :~

[Challenger #001]

I've no problem with you guys doing Green Races under the condition that the number of laps in the race is a multiple of 6.

Also, just keep in mind the restrictions on ships - No AG-Systems and Triakis on the same team, or Icaras and G45.

Otherwise, have fun!

[R3BU5ER]

Allright fine challenger :) So no PB bashing for you greeny ;) No, I will tell you racing green doesn't mean you will get easy PB at all, still randomised pickups, and when everybody in the room is fast, pads will be taken a lot, so you will have to go for speedpads anyway, and ramming will be part of the race ofcourse.

Ace3cube, do you have any idea when you could race? Because we will have to pick a date one o these days :) thanx

[Ace3cube]

I coiuld be there tomorrow (thursday 28 th?) around 7PM GMT to 9PM GMT. And I will be away for 1 weeks back the saturday 6th august ^_^

[Oryx Crake]

I'll have to see about tomorrow but a pipe has burst or something similar has happened in my apartment down south so I gotta get down there on friday and do a survey of the damage and hassle with the insurance company and whatnot, don't know how long I'll have to be down there. And next tuesday there's a funeral to go to in Finland but you know we'll see how things go. I'll have a look at tomorrow.

[greenymac]

Oh, btw . Ill be flying the Harimau fury. I have to work tomorrow late morning till evening, but I'm off all day Friday and Sunday and even when I work Im available in the evenings.

[Oryx Crake]

Ok so I've looked into tomorrow and it looks like I'm gonna have to go down south tomorrow and sort this bloody mess sorry lads... :(

[R3BU5ER]

Yeah that sucks oryx! Good luck with all that mate :)
Also for me tomorrow is not going to work, :(

Let's postpone this untill ace3cube is back then, ok?

[zero3growlithe]

Yeah... August, 2nd and i'm out (sport camp, 2 weeks) :|
(hmmm, maybe i can take PS3 with me :g I'll say that it's to train my hands :P)

[Challenger #001]

Really sorry to hear that Oryx. Best of luck with the mess.

Maybe you guys can do just a 2v2 if zero3 and Crake are out? We could make up the numbers later in the month. Uber and I were planning on doing a 2v2 challenge when I'm back, though I have a job interview on the 4th, so back to the UK and then back to France. So maybe the weekend of the 6th-7th.

[R3BU5ER]

Yeah I thought of that, but when ace3 is back, zero3 is gone so hmmm....

[R3BU5ER]

Okay guys, just wanted to check up with you concerning the 3vs3 match.
Zero3, when are you available again? I will be most evenings untill the 1st of September, then I'll be gone for 3 weeks.. Oryx, Erich, Ace3 and greeny, when could you guys race?

[zero3growlithe]

Hmmm... this is my 5th day here and i'll be back,mmmmm... 15th August (oh god, 10 days :cold)

[R3BU5ER]

Sounds like you are having a really good time there zero3? :paperbag lol

Okay, so we will have to plan this somewhere between the 19th and 30th of august :)

[zero3growlithe]

When can we arrange our meeting? I think that everyone is back (or going to be very soon) so i don't see any obstacles on our way :cowboy (except for tomorrow and the day after it)

[Challenger #001]

[Oryx Crake]

bleh sorry about that been absolutely crazy for me, death in the family and the ruined kitchen has got me forgetting things :( I'll try to keep on top of my engagements

[zero3growlithe]

What the hell is happening there Oryx? One accident after another i can only hear :| This is strange:mr-t
btw. It seems we never gonna make this 3vs3 xD 2vs2 is max it seems:blarg

[Oryx Crake]

it's a bit of a mess certainly ^^; but accidents come in threes right I think the worst is over and I'm looking forward to getting back to normalcy. I can still play though and would be happy to do so just might need a reminder every now and then :)

[greenymac]

[zero3growlithe]

I want to race this 3vs3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:cowboy

THIS IS SPARTA!!!

[Oryx Crake]

I'm free on the tenth!

[Challenger #001]

I'll be free if anyone needs a hand. Or a foot. Or more appropriately, a Phantom Qirex.

[zero3growlithe]

Ok, that makes 3 contanders.... now:
Ace3cube, it would be cool if you could race with us :hyper
R3BU5ER, i hope u r still with us :cowboy
Tiduch, i suppose that you haven't done with WOHD yet? :rock

[greenymac]

I havent played much the last couple weeks, so I need a little warming up bvefore we get this going.

[zero3growlithe]

Oh and greeny:D That makes 4 :hyper (really sorry i forgot about you :cold)

[R3BU5ER]

Hey guys, I wont be back untill friday next week, just having a quick look from the sunny sands of Lanzarote :) So just do this! I will be around next time. Enjoy!

[SaturnReturn]

but accidents come in threes right

Briefly off-topic (sorry, couldn't resist). My mum always used to say bad luck comes in threes. Why? It's got to be the worst superstition ever!

[greenymac]

Saturn, my gf says the same thing and I feel that its just s statemet inviting bad fortune

[Oryx Crake]

by the way guys I'm gonna be busy most of the day tomorrow so is it ok if we set this up at around 10-11 pm BST(british summer time)?

offtopic

Lol sat and greeny that is interesting XD never happened to me that but I was actually refering to a saying we had at the old folks home I used to work at and specifically that saying had to do with the tennants dying, because for whatever reason they always used to die 3 in one week, then there'd be a lull and then 3 more would die. Strange but true.

[zero3growlithe]

@Oryx, i'm ok with that... don't know how everyone else :cold
btw. I'm waiting now for confimations from:

Tiduch (Ready :+)
Oryx_Crake (Ready :+)
Ace3Cube.... !?
greenymac (Ready :+)
Erich123 (Ready :+)

and it'll be cool :hyper (damn, my organization skills are baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad :paperbag)

[Oryx Crake]

where was everyone ? :(

[erich123]

Im still in for this, can race tonight:P

[Challenger #001]

Really sorry Oryx - my internet died last night in the middle of that race. I'm guessing you probably realised, but it didn't come on until the morning. I'll hopefully be on again this evening after the HD sessions.

[Tiduch]

I can play zero : )

[zero3growlithe]

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D
btw. I haven't seen any post from A3C for some time here so we need to get one more pilot... who is willing to race with us?
