Welcome to the Vs thread for Icaras and AG-Systems!!! Everyone apart of these two teams on Equilibrium have to sound off that they're still in the tournament here and connect with your team members!!! (On Time, Circuit, Anything)

[Mitchemous]

Pontiac400 reporting in, available anytime but need to know start time soon so I can schedule my work day on Saturday around it. I can pick my hours for work

[AGSys]

Mitchemous, just notifying y'all, I received and accepted your friend request. Anyway, I'm good to go. Dejunkie16, I can't seem to friend you because your list is full or something. I'll try again but do you have enough spaces?

[Mitchemous]

I didn't get a friend request

[Defjukie16]

Ok I'll get you on, I'm reporting in and I'm available for Saturday Morning and night, Grand Circuit.

[DDD113]

Not to interrupt, but your avatars show the progression of the Icaras logo. ;)

[Ruuku]

Ruuku for AG-SYS

I can be on all day Saturday, unless it's like six in the morning or midnight XD

UTC+10 From Australia. I have the team captain and a Friend Request from Marcingu.

[Ace3000]

AG-Systems captain Ace3000 reporting in. I have all teammates in my friends list.

My timezone is GMT+8, Western Australia.

What time do we start?

Also, I'm available from 9am to 10pm GMT+8.

EDIT: One question, what circuit should we do? I vote Grand Circuit.

[Mitchemous]

Saturday morning would work the best for me as well. I vote grand circuit

[Defjukie16]

Uh AGSys, we're already friends, you added me like 3 months ago. I'm Defjukie16, DEFJUKIE not JUNKIE lol.

[marcingru]

Im available through all weekend - mostly- so time is up to You guys.

Grand Circuit is fine for me

Regards!

[AGSys]

Grand Circuit? I'm all for it. And lol DeJUKIE13, PSN should have notified me about that >__> Anyway, at what UK time (or any time) are we racing?

[Ace3000]

When we do start, I'll need a few minutes beforehand to get my recording setup working.

[Chill]

Boom
AG- SYS
Greenwich meantime
What time?

[Ace3000]

I am available from any time until 2pm GMT

[Chill]

I'm ready whenever, just need a time frame so I can get things done today

[Ace3000]

It seems that everyone is ready whenever, it's just a matter of figurng out timezones and getting organised.

EDIT: Just waiting for Tiduch to reply to me via PSN or WZ PM, otherwise all AG-S teammates have replied to me.

[marcingru]

Together vhx1138 we are alreday up and running online

[Ace3000]

Are you guys all online, or are you just practising or something?

[Chill]

We were just warming up.. Also I'm having difficulty joining your invitations, all I can manage is a nudge back

Update:
Well I'm about to hit up the gym guys seeing how it looks like it'll be awhile before everyone's ready.. Already promised the wife.

[Defjukie16]

Ok everyone so far is good for Saturday, Since Ace3000 isn't available in the afternoon GMT, maybe 1:30 EST / 6:30 GMT?

Players we're waiting for:
Tiduch
scarfrogers
mannjon

[Chill]

Sounds good to me

[Mitchemous]

Okay, how about we just start 24 from right now? That way people can see the post in their own time and everyone has 24 hour notice

[Ace3000]

Ok everyone so far is good for Saturday, Since Ace3000 isn't available in the afternoon GMT, maybe 1:30 EST / 6:30 GMT?

That works for me.

[Defjukie16]

Is today not good for you Mitchemous?

[Ace3000]

Uhh, wait, is that 6:30am GMT?

[Defjukie16]

pm Ace, I'm not doing am lol.

[Ace3000]

Oh. I don't know if I can do that time then, that's like 2:30am my time. That's why I couldn't be on at 2pm GMT.

[Defjukie16]

No Ace, I'm talking about 1:30 pm EST which is my time, and in the UK it would be 6:30 pm GMT, your time for today. But it maybe pushed if the other players don't post here or at all. Or if Mitchemous can't make it today.

[Ace3000]

But I live in Australia, and my timezone is GMT+8. 6:30pm GMT is 2:30am GMT+8.

I know, I should have specified, I'm sorry.

[marcingru]

Anyway we have no answer from scar and mannjon so today we are not able make any "adjustmanets" since mannjon is located in US is it?

its very weird since scar is/was everyday online...

[Defjukie16]

That's fine, I thought GMT was just UK, but I was saying to start the round at 1:30 EST, you would be fine because that would be 6:30 pm for your timezone. Basically, it's 1:30pm in the early afternoon for me but at the exact same time it's 6:30 pm in the early evening for you. If we play today.

[Ace3000]

GMT is just UK, my timezone is GMT+8, which is Greenwhich Mean Time, plus 8 hours. Australians call it AWST (Australian Western Standard Time). If we do play at the time you specified, I would have to wake up at 2:30 in the morning my time. Also, Light_Glint's timezone is GMT+10, or AEST (Australian Eastern Standard Time), so he would have to wake up at 4:30 in the morning his time.

Or am I just being completely stupid and not understanding what you are saying?

EDIT: For comparison, the time where I am now is 11:14 at night.

[Defjukie16]

Oh I got you now, It's not you it was me. Ok, give me a minute.

[Ace3000]

I'm sorry. Looking back at my past posts that did look quite confusing.

[Defjukie16]

So 8:00 am EST or 8:00 pm EST would be best time for you two right? Or like 1:30 am EST?

[mannjon]

Still around, ready to race! Definitely vote for Grand Circuit (been practicing those runs this week actually). Any word about the time yet?

[Defjukie16]

We're working on it mannjon, we're still waiting for Tiduch and scarfrogers to check in.

[Ace3000]

So 8:00 am EST or 8:00 pm EST would be best time for you two right? Or like 1:30 am EST?

I wouldn't want you playing at 1:30am, haha! My calculations show that 8pm EST would best suit us, that is 9am my time.

[mannjon]

Oh, and yes I am US. Central Time. That's UTC/GMT -6 for reference. 8 EST pm works for me. I'm just as keen on 1 am EST (which would technically tomorrow right?).

[Defjukie16]

Actually I work a night job and have tonight off, so 1:30 am is perfect for me, but I'm sure not for everyone else.

[mannjon]

I think I actually race better really late! I always lose to the UK in my morning hours, and always seem to win on theirs!

[Ace3000]

Actually I work a night job and have tonight off, so 1:30 am is perfect for me, but I'm sure not for everyone else.

Ah, ok! The More You Know.



I think I actually race better really late! I always lose to the UK in my morning hours, and always seem to win on theirs!

It's like how people say they can race better while drunk, no one knows how it is possible, it just is!

EDIT: Anyway, I'm off to bed. I'll be up at the equivalent of 7pm EST to see if you guys have come up with a finalised time and all that.

[mannjon]

Oh there is a tipping point there. After about half drunk, I race AWESOME. I hit all the BR's I just can't get under normal circumstances. Then one beer later I can't land a BR off the Chenghou cliff.

[AGSys]

I'll be up at the equivalent of 7pm EST to see if you guys have come up with a finalised time and all that.

That also sounds good to me.

[scarfrogers]

Sorry something came up today that I couldnt get out of!

il be on all tomorrow if needed.

Scaaaaaar

[marcingru]

Glad to hear. Gretzz

[Ace3000]

Hello all, are we still good for 8pm EST starting time?

EDIT: Still no word from Tiduch on PSN or WZ PM

[AGSys]

No one from Icaras is online atm. What's going on?

[Ace3000]

Maybe we should make it 8pm EST the following day? That way everyone will have a chance to see when the start time is.

[mannjon]

I'm ok with tonight or tomorrow. Just to clarify, are you using the EST as in Eastern (as in USA time)? Anyways, just post and let me know!

[AGSys]

Ace3000 and I are using EST. Tomorrow would be more than fine. I'm not sure about the others though. Right now, even if the tourney was on, I couldn't have played because my dad came back from helping move furniture at our friend's house and he just wants to relax and watch some TV lol.

[Ace3000]

I'm using EST as a way to minimise confusion. I really use GMT+8, or AWST because I live in Australia.

[Defjukie16]

I work tomorrow night at 10:00 pm EST so it would have to be between 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm. Maybe 7:00 pm EST?

[Ace3000]

Sure, I'll be able to do that.

[AGSys]

Alright, I think I'll be available by that time.

[marcingru]

Its 7 morning now at my place, just wake up to see what's going on here and ...I'm getting confused buy all these time zones .
7 EST is it 2 a.m GMT ???


Edit Monday (9th) 7a.m GMT I'm starting work so I need some sleep , I can play till 12p.m GMT that's today night . Gretzz

[Ruuku]

Sorry guys, couldn't make it today due to something popping up.

On UTC+10 I'm available from 4 to 8:30PM, seeing as its my second last week of school.

[scarfrogers]

Let me know when to play today - I am around and will be checking this site so pm me if I need to be on at a certain time :)

SCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR

[marcingru]

Sory for my English
I need to say that , i got wife and small kid and manage to have whole weeken free for our tournament.... Im avalible as i steated before afterwards i got job from and can play ONLyY from 6p.m GMT til 12p.m GMT . And one more thing as forum use GMT i strongly recommend to write all time information in GMT format to avoid any misunderstanding!
No gretzz this time...

[Ace3000]

I tried using GMT, people got confused. I guess I could try again.

[marcingru]

Meaby I overreacted litre bit sorry. I'm avalible all Sunday and after work will try every day if needed ! Gretzz

[Ace3000]

You weren't overreacting at all! :D I was just making a comment about how I was using timezones

[marcingru]

Cipher posted useful converter on their tournament post , i hope we can adopt it here :)

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Icaras+vs+AG+systems&iso=20131208T00&p1=192

Its just example.

Regards

@Ace : I want to play so badly this weekend :) hehe

Gretzz!

[Ace3000]

Is that time posted (12am EST) the final starting time?

EDIT: Nope, never mind, didn't see that it was just an example. So when is the actual starting time?

[AGSys]

Okay, so we all need to know the final starting/prep time for the tourney in EST format. Let's make it certain which timezone we're using as of now so none of us are confused anymore.

[marcingru]

Ruuku have time from 4-8 P.M (UTC ) so my time its ......yeah UTC is GMT. sorry for confusing hhhhmmmm :/

But he said not today so tommorow?

Defjukie stated from 6-9 P.M EST so its 11 P.M- 2 A.M my time , i can play max till 1 A.M my time guys .

[Ace3000]

I can play from 12am-2pm GMT, which is 7pm-9am EST.

[marcingru]

So I see there is no chance for today for you Ace ?

[Ace3000]

nope, that's basically my schedule for the entire holidays, well, except for Christmas and New Years, of course.

[marcingru]

Guys just pick up time I'm willing to take some free hours at job to compete the tournament . We need to make it happened .

[Defjukie16]

OK, after crushing my brain I've looked it over, if we do the tournament at 7:00 pm EST today, then in AWST that would be 8:00 am and in AEST would be 11:00 am. Now, the problem is that scar can't play late and if we play at 7:00 pm EST, it would be 12:00 am GMT and for the rest of the week he is only available for 5 pm to 7 pm GMT.

For AG-Systems we have:
Ace3000_42 AWST, 12:00am to 2:00pm
VHX1138 Not Sure
marcingru 6:00 pm GMT to 12:00 am GMT
Light_Glint AEST, not at 6:00am or 12:00am

and for Icaras we have:
Defjukie16 EST, good for all day except late tonight
scarfrogers GMT, tight hours for the week
CJ4717 Not sure
mannjon CST, late hours work
Pontiac400 anytime, I think.

Ok, HERE'S THE TIME I PURPOSE what about between 5:00 and 6:00 pm EST today? this time should be good for all, I think.

- - - Updated - - -

And believe me to do it during the week would be hell, we have to do it today.

- - - Updated - - -

All in all I would say conclusively that the best times for us to go would be between 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm EST today.

[marcingru]

Well made !!!

For me is no problem i just hope that rest of guys can do it in that time period.

Just hit me here or PSN im avalible !

Regards!

Today im avalibe up to even 1A.M Gmt rest days of the week 6P.M-12 A.M

[Ace3000]

Sorry to crush your perfect time, but I said I was only available from 7pm-9am EST, which is 8am-10pm AWST time, unless you put the UK GMT time intentionally. Maybe I should not use UK (GMT) time, it just causes confusions, and I dont blame you, having to manage two different timings at the same time. I'm sorry.

EDIT:From now on, I shall only use EST for this part of the championship. But it is now time for me to go to bed, so I will be up at 6:30pm EST to see if you guys have decided on a final time. Once again, I am really sorry about any and all confusion caused by me. Good night all.

[Defjukie16]

Yea Ace, here's the thing, I know. I had worked it out after I made the post. I thought it would make me sound cold when I was honest, but here's the truth. Today is the best day to do this but the problem is that if we go on 5:00 pm EST, that would be 10:00 pm GMT, 9:00 am AEST, and sadly 6:00 am AWST which conflicts with Ace, and at 7:00pm EST which is the time good for Ace, that means it's 12:00 am GMT for Scar which is terrible time for him. So it comes down to "which player", AG-Systems has four players and Icaras has five which means that one player from Icaras doesn't have to play in round 1, Scar. That's why I didn't want to bring it up, because it's a tough call. Unless Scar could make it work but he's got a job so I can't press it on him. It's not cool.

[Ace3000]

Ok, in that case I will get up early to play, I will commit to my team.

And really, that does not make you sound cold at all, it's the truth. At least I don't have to wake up at something ridiculous like 4 in the morning, haha!


EDIT: I have made the Countdown Timer, click here to see it:

[scarfrogers]

Mate no problem at all. Save me for the hard rounds ;)

[Defjukie16]

Heading to bed too. I'll still be on here.

- - - Updated - - -

Ok Scar, if Icaras wins... I'll play for you and Icaras.

- - - Updated - - -

Nervous now, I guess I have to keep calm, keep calm and fly Icaras. That was the first poster I made and now it comes full circle why I did, freaking fate.

[Chill]

10pm GMT.. Sounds good

[Defjukie16]

No Chill, it's gonna start at 7:00 EST/ 12:00 GMT, sorry but that's the only time that works today.

[mannjon]

I'll be there! 7pm EST! Good luck to everyone!

[Ace3000]

No Chill, it's gonna start at 7:00 EST/ 12:00 GMT, sorry but that's the only time that works today.

Wait, what? I thought it was gonna be 5-6pm EST?

[mannjon]

OH, is it???

[Ace3000]

Well, initially he said 5-6pm EST.

[Chill]

Alright well just seeing this I can't make this one guys.. Got a stressful week ahead and will definitely need a full nights sleep.. Really sorry guys.. Good luck!

[AGSys]

Okay...so it's already started I take it. I'll come online right now. I had some business to take care of.

[mannjon]

Has it? Did I miss the memo?

- - - Updated - - -

I'll be online for a while, so keep me posted!

[Ace3000]

It looks like Defjukie's going ahead with the 7pm EST time.

[AGSys]

mannjon and I raced a few times (awesome racing btw!) but no one else was present, so yeah I presume everyone'll be online in the next 45 minutes or so.

[mannjon]

^ Glad you're on my team! I'm still here doing college work until more people get online. I'll be on the forum and online in Wipeout HD

[Ace3000]

I am online on WipeoutZone and PSN if anyone needs me, though, I am as confused about the time as everyone else.

[marcingru]

We are 3 persons only, since VHX decided to no race i had my brother as reserve but cant get i touch with Defjukie so dont know if he can race instead:/

[Mitchemous]

I'm free the rest of the night

[Ace3000]

Well, it's 7pm EST. Where is everyone?

[Defjukie16]

I'm,up, overslept bit, I'm here!!

[Mitchemous]

Sweet!! Who all are we waiting on?

[mannjon]

mannjon here!

[DDD113]

Put 'em in the ground, team Icaras! :D :D :D

[AGSys]

[We don't have enough people to commence the racing. So we may need to do this yet another day unfortunately.] -I don't know about this now.

Also....I kinda just ran outta time. :/ I may be able to play after an hour or so but as of now, I can't. We have an unexpected guest so I can't be glued to the TV xD

EDIT: Whooo! That was awesome.

Points obtained by both teams:

Icaras-73
AG Systems-72

Winner: Icaras

[Ace3000]

Good racing everyone, I will now put the video together, expect it within this or next week

[AGSys]

I've never been on a YouTube video. I can't wait till you upload it :D Also, definitely amazing racing by everyone else. Oh and Lilith, I don't know how you come out on top every single time but please! I NEED TO LEARN THE SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE.

[Ace3000]

Here is my other after-race thoughts:

Aw darn it! Lost by ONE FREAKING POINT!

Well done people, you did race well, so well that it was only a one-point victory.


Congratulations, Team ICARAS!

Massive special thanks to Lilith and Luedism, without whom we wouldn't have been racing today. You guys are awesome!

[Mitchemous]

That was a ton of fun guys!!! I'm glad my first online race was with you guys!! :D

- - - Updated - - -

For our next race we should get our poster to say "keep calm and feel the rush!" XD

[Tiduch]

Really, I have to check PSN/WZ more often _._ Sry every1

[Chill]

I hope AG System's loss wasn't my fault!! :(

[Tiduch]

Nah, it was mainly my fault : P
