Tsume Xiao Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 If you are interested, please list the time of day that would work best for you.I am assuming people spend the evening with family, so I was thinking early to mid afternoon?

Reinhardt Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Since I doubt any large group of people will be online at the same time on sunday, can I make a suggestion?Script a stopwatch. Milliseconds, seconds, minutes. Start, stop, reset commands.Then let anyone who wants to participate, do so individually. Time them. record it. It DOES loose alot of the atmosphere of a grand prix I agree, BUT, it allows the event to occur in some way despite everyones schedual that day.When there ARE multiple people on sim at once.. they can engage in more.. Mario Kart like activities in the spirit of the event. Hell, a special gun scripted for 5 LCS damage would really help that atmosphere... maybe even find a way to make it fire koopa shells if theres time.I would like to participate, BUT I have no idea what my schedual is that day. Are hte bikes being given out or do we need to obtain them ourselves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will however get a stopwatch script ready and have this idea set up as a worst case scenario. I would much prefer to do standard races, but a time trial would work well if the former is not possible.

Tsume Xiao Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 Apparently we have Saturday off as well.Is Saturday better for people than Sunday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsume Xiao Posted December 24, 2011 Author Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) ATTENTIONFINAL RACE FORMAT DECIDEDDue to having both today and tomorrow off, I have decided that the best way to allow the most people to participate while still keep the race feel will be to use Timed Heats.This format is essentially a standard bracket, but time will be kept for each race. The winner of the competition will be based on which of the highest ranking racers have the lowest average time around the track.This method allows us to have the race on multiple days, but to also keep the multi-person race feel.Today's heats will begin at approximately 1PM SLT. I will have the course set up and the bike rezzer out prior to that so participants can get used to how the bikes feel and handle (plus they are just fun as Ffff to ride :3 )IF YOU ARE PARTICIPATING EITHER DAY PLEASE POST BELOW!

I was admittedly getting worried when there seemed to be so little interest. D:-Ron was given a second try after we realized he had a second game running in the background which is why he was derping all over the place. Deal with it. :D-Next time I will build a vehicle I can control the parameters for, because some people used only low gear, some were silly and used only high, and some shifted through the gears as I had intended.-Next time I may limit the time people can "practice" with the vehicle, as there were a few complaints on the grounds of not having time to get used to the vehicle. I had assumed leaving the rezzers out at least an hour before the event would have been sufficient, but next time I think a controled number of warm-up laps will quell any concerns of "fairness".-Aryte and Huttser didn't race as they said they would. This makes me a Sad Panda. Edited December 28, 2011 by Tsume Xiao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
