Ozone II - Saturday 19th November 2011


Ozone Social Group (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?groupid=81) - Because you're worth it :P

Ozone Leaderboards (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0ArRl3YNE85fkdFhVazlVTU5CSklNajB4S1lHWEJVd FE)

Well the first one went pretty well for a new event I think, so let's see if we can't build on that. Once again novide and I invite all wipers new and old to join us for some friendly races, Zone Battles and Eliminators. The date for your diary is Saturday 19th November, starting at around 10am GMT and finishing some time late in the evening. The first event wound up around 10pm, but if there are still people around at that time we're certainly willing to carry on.

The rooms we'll be hosting are:


Phantom Single Race – traditional Grand Prix (All tracks, forward and reverse... one race with weapons, one without)

Rapier Single race – traditional Grand Prix

Flash Single Race – Weapons on

Zone Battle – 50 – 55 target, All tracks

Rapier Eliminator – variable targets, selected tracks





* Bling Brigade matches - 12.00pm and 5.00pm (GMT)

** Endurance Trophy match (12 race rapier tournament) - 3.00pm (GMT)

All offers to host will be gratefully received, as we'll both need some break time during the day. And we'd love to see more videos this time. We'll be chatting in the Ozone Room throughout the day, just give one of us a shout if you need an invite.

And finally, we'd like to sort out some proper team events this time. So let's try and get an international match up and running, plus at least one other team event. There have been a few cool suggestions in the social group.

See you on Saturday 19th,

Colonel__Gaddafi and novide :rock

[D_1998_BR]

I'm SURELY in! If we can do a Queen Bee match before the ozone and it ends up being a fun game,let's think on adding it to the ozone (1 match only,since nobody yet knows about this mode)

Just a thought i had
~D~

P.S.: The leaderboard isn't from the October Ozone event? I was first on Sebenco Reverse,Flash weapons on :\

[Colonel]

I doubt I'll be available for one before then but we should sort one out during Ozone, could be a laugh.

Regarding the leaderboards, they're the fastest times recorded across all tracks. Although you won on Sebenco Reverse in the evening, Oli had set a 2.04.68 earlier in the day, which is the faster time.

[trackripper]

wha...
Saturday again? N'aww. I'll try.

[Ragsus Maxima]

Whether Saturday or Sunday are fine for me. :)
Although a Saturday fits better for me, I'd not mind at all if the event helds at Sunday.

But we should see which ones want to participate either Saturday or Sunday.

[jesse9705]

I might be participating, Saturday works better for me, So long as my family don't try to drag my away from the PS3

Okay,got it

:turd , my time was 2.10.60 :(

[LJtheZombie]

Count me in. If it's on a Sunday, I won't be able to get on until after 6pm though.

[Dark_Phantom_89]

I'll pop by and take part. :+

[TwitchySpitfire]

I'd like to participate. :rock

[Oryx Crake]

Looks like it's a party ^_^

[D_1998_BR]

I'll pop by and take part. :+

NOES! now my chances of winning are gone! :brickwall

[Olivario]

I will be there :banzai

[DreamyElf]

I'll pop by and and break some records*. :+
*corrected :g

I haven't played WO since the last ozone so this sounds like a good party!
I think i'll join you guys for some races and chatting. :)

[MyNameIsBom]

Damn I hate being the guy who misses out :( sounds like alot of fun... I'll eventually get there... One day :D

[Colonel]

Just a couple of points about Saturday...

We'll do some Bling Brigade matches at around 12pm and 5pm (GMT). So anybody who needs this trophy, look out for either myself or novide hosting at those times.

I will also be hosting a 12 race Rapier tournament at around 3pm (GMT). Therefore anyone who's after the Endurance trophy, let me know and I will invite you.

With regards to team matches, not sure what's happening really. England Vs Rest of The World's a fairly easy one to get together, although it would be good to see something a little different to be honest, maybe Vs Japan or Team Nordic.

Anyone with any suggestions give me a shout :+

[LJtheZombie]

Since there are so many England-based players, perhaps a 'North vs. South' grudge match could work out (East-West might be fine too).

[Colonel]

I quite like the sound of that LJ. I guess I'm an honorary northerner now that I've been living up here for 11 years.

Any other northern monkeys fancy a match against the southern softies? :g

[SoA_Booney]

Im happy to race for any that needs numbers since im from the west midlands :) just message me up ;)

[Dark_Phantom_89]

If you want to do the match, would like somebody to represent the South of England and are low on numbers, then send me a message and I'll do it.

[Colonel]

Well at the moment DP it's just me and Booney Vs LJ, so if you'd like to join him we at least have a 2vs2. Hopefully we can get another member each and make it 3vs3.

[GiraffeRider]

I'm the worst Phantom racer this side of the Atlantic, but if you don't mind having a noob around I'd like to give this a go. Is having a mic recommended/needed? Mine borked and I don't expect it'll be repaired for Sat, but I could try and borrow one

[Colonel]

Hi mate. You're more than welcome to join, everybody is. And don't worry about skill level, the whole point of the day is to get people of all abilities together, have a laugh and make new friends.

We'll be hosting all manner of races, not just Phantom. And the chat room will be text only, so just add novide or I on PSN and we'll invite you.

See you Saturday,

Adam :)

[UB3R~JKP]

Been a while since I hit the tracks...I could attend in the morning if there will be rooms running then? :) (11AM-12:30PM)

[Colonel]

There certainly will UB3R, we'll be starting at around 10.00am and won't finish until at least 10.00pm.

Oh and it's been a while for me too. Crazy busy this last couple of weeks, it'll take me til lunchtime to de-rust I reckon. Had a quick few races last night and I was woeful :redface:

[UB3R~JKP]

Awesome man! :+ Can't wait to embarrass myself :lol I have an Ice Hockey match that takes up like my whole SaturDAY and then saturNIGHT It's party time! ;)

[trackripper]

Still no chance of Sunday? :/
I'm afraid I can't make it again then. Sorry guys.

[Colonel]

Not this time trackripper. But I've started a discussion in the Social Group (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?groupid=81) to see whether Sundays might be more popular. We'll see what happens, can't promise anything though.

[trackripper]

Thanks Colonel :) I'll see, I might be able to join you guys for a bit this time round :)

[Colonel]

Well so much for a 10am start. Just woken up, rough as hell, heavy night last night.

Shall kick things off soon :)

[Archon]

Just woke up, warming up with some oatmeal. I'll be airborne shortly.

[Colonel]

Good man, I'll be back online soon :)

[Archon]

What a load of fun stuff!

[trackripper]

That was great stuff, massive thanks to Colonel and novide for setting this whole thing up :)

[P_Denton]

Lots of fun :) Sorry for the sudden departure, I had to lend my room for the night, so yeah... See y'all on track someday.

[TwitchySpitfire]

It was great to race with familiar faces. I haven't done that in a long time. :+

[Oryx Crake]

/Oryx_Rust

[GiraffeRider]

Damn I'm an idiot, for whatever reason I thought this was next Saturday. Good to see you all had fun, see ya in the next one. Did you do the queen bee race?

[Colonel]

Thanks to everyone who turned out yesterday, it was an awesome session. And many thanks to those of you who hosted. I was a bit lazy myself, didn't get that much video but I'll update the leaderboards tomorrow and get the vids up this week.

I'll talk to novide and we'll let you all know when the next one is.

Thanks again,

Adam :)

[novide]

THX to all who took part. :rock
i was little rusty after weeks without wipeout (damn uncharted3)

Here the flash races (http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL488D8809B32B5436)

rapier and phantom playlist will be up tomorrow or so...

[Dark_Phantom_89]

Big thanks to Colonel and Novide for running another Ozone session. It was nice to race with everyone again, and I'll look forward to the next one. :+

[Oryx Crake]

hey guys how'd that match go btw? anyone know the score?

[Colonel]

Oryx,

The final score was:
Team Titan 125
Ozone Mercenaries 99

I'll have the vids up within a couple of days.

[D_1998_BR]

The Ozone just ended and I'm still wanting to play more! :hyper

I don't think the event should be on each month,but actually on each 2 weekends gap :nod
I was so extatic when playing the Queen Bee mode on that day i forgot i couldn't use Quakes :brickwall ...

As LJ said,it has potential,aside the hiccups :)

Hope you publish the date of the 3rd version soon! For a new event,seems it's a game's official event :clap

Well done CG and Nov!

[Oryx Crake]

Thanks for the scores Adam! Oh and while we're awaiting your higher quality video of the whole match here's a little teaser (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-L6KFDGjIU) for everyone to enjoy titanic showdown this match was!

And a final video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWXeoCyDw-A) with some credits! Thanks for this months ozone lads! See ya next time.

(hope you enjoy the vids)

[Olivario]

"Ozone Mercenaries" Love that name :g

It was a great day of races, shamefully I was very busy this last Saturday but I enjoyed very much the time I played and specially that match against Team Titan.

Thanks to Colonel and novide for keeping this up :+

[novide]

[Colonel]

Okay I've finally updated the Ozone Leaderboards (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en_US&hl=en_US&key=0ArRl3YNE85fkdGtGUXM0RDVsNDNkZm1FUTRaYWVyV2c&output=html). Sorry it's taken so long, had a lot on the last week or so.

Thanks to everyone who wrote down times and sent them to me. I hope no times are missing but if they are, well it's not the end of the World I guess. Seems strange that we're still without a time for MH Rapier.

Plenty more events ahead I hope, I'll have a chat with novide and work out whether a Christmas(ish) Ozone is possible.

Now I've just got to do my bloody videos :blarg

[Oryx Crake]

crap sorry Adam I forgot to send you the times from the races I hosted and filmed, shall I pm them too you?(and you can update the leaderboards whenever you feel like it, if need be)

[Colonel]

Yeah cheers Oryx, if you wouldn't mind that would be great. Got a MH Rapier record sent to me by Oli to add anyway.

Also, for anybody who's uploaded videos, would you mind adding links to the Video Archive (http://www.wipeoutzone.com/forum/group.php?do=discuss&group=&discussionid=447). Thanks.

[Carttagos]

There will be a race for Bling Brigade soon? Im in just make a meeting time and I will be there (Maybe I can logout cuz my internet problems and is really annoying cuz I cant play a game like 10 mins)

[Colonel]

Well after two weeks I've managed to get two videos together. Sorry for the delay, and er, only doing two videos :redface:

Phantom Grand Prix races (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7P_EoOWPKvQ)
Team Titan vs Ozone Mercenaries (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS2NJX45riE)

Next time I'll get much more footage and will upload them in a timely fashion.
