Well... I'm available during 3 PM - 2 AM CST (GMT -6) during the weekends, so I'll try to figure something out. (WTB> time converter scheduler)

Anyway, for those that aren't aware yet, PLEASE make sure kartparty is part of your highlights. We also meet up in #videogames during these kartparties.

Weekly Kartparties hell yes :D Firdays and Saturdays are best choices :3
The time doesn't really matter there even though it would be nice if it isn't 2 A.M again like last time i was in
I also wish that i could chat while playing and not in those short breaks after a cup ... :(
But i say this all the time so i hope i don't have to say that again.
Btw I think i was a bit whiney the last time (had a bad hair day) ^^ I also hope to change that .

Weekends are fine. We should set up a Skype call or something.
NaomiMinette
Guess I'll be redownloading Skype then.

EDIT: I have Skype set up (again). How do I connect to you guys? Do I have to add you first?

EDIT2: So it seems like you guys are about 6-7 hours ahead of us in North America... I can work with that, but I need to know when you guys are available.
CNM501
During the week i'm usually available after 4pm my time. Though my 'available' times are constantly changing soo... But generally after 4pm my time I should be fine.
NaomiMinette
Hmm... Unless I'm doing this wrong, it should be just past 1 PM (13:00) for you as of right now, right?
CNM501
^^^ Yes correct.
NaomiMinette
Let's see... so I'd have to play sometime after midnight my time to meet up with you.

Now what about the European players?
bomber34
well usally we play at 1 a.m. when we do kartparties
sometimes 10p.m. too (GMT -1)

so you guys who live at the GMT - 6 zone
we are 7h ahead of each other
NaomiMinette
So basically it's (obviously) either the NA players play late at night and you guys play in the morning/afternoon, or we NA players play during the afternoon and you guys play at night... Which works better for you?
CNM501
Night for me. Mornings maybe if it's 7am my time, though I won't be on osu! though... Mehhh.
NaomiMinette
Sorry, updated my post. Anyway, we'll see what the others say first.

EDIT: So I just finished a Worldwide race... MIRRORED. *did not know this was possible* Hao2trigger? (Is this also possible for Community?)

I think the whole mirror thing is based on the relative VR of the contestants. For instance, if the majority of people have like, 2000 VR or something, it might bump it up to a higher level, like 150cc, or mirrored or something.

I'm not sure of the exact logistics, but that's how it worked in Mario Kart Wii.
NaomiMinette
I've never really played MKWii over Wi-Fi all that much, so I didn't know. Thanks :)

So... I guess we could have a kartparty around 3 PM CST (GMT -6) or later... I dunno...
Soaprman
Yeah, mirror happens in high VR rooms... I think it alternates between mirror and non mirror.

I should actually be available tomorrow evening past around 6-6:30pm my time... in GMT that'd be 11-11:30pm. Make of that what you like. If I'm around when shit's going down, I'll share the jolly good times.
NaomiMinette
Time zones suck :( Anyway, I can work with whatever.

From 13th February I am gonna have 2 weeks break from school. Then time when kartparty is on doesn't matter for me.

My estimate was probably early by 2-3 hours. Whatever. I'll be around when I'm around...

It's not like you HAVE to be there (just saying). Honestly, I don't even know when to have one ._.
mm201
I need at least a day's notice if it's going to happen at any time other than the nighttime; 9pm-12pm EST.
NaomiMinette
I have no idea when to hold it during the daytime for us NA people...

This has happened to me too :? When I first saw it it only happened rarely, but now it seems like it happens every other race. o.o

I'm trying to climb up to 9999 VR and it's happened more and more, so perhaps it does happen depending on VR :?

Recently tried the Grand Prix of the Miis I got via StreetPass and discovered that beating the cup earns you a kart part if the Mii you're racing against is using a part you don't have. I'm not sure if this applies to the gold parts as well though.
NaomiMinette
Yeah, I read about that. I doubt it'd apply to the Gold parts, or else I'd probably see just about everyone on Worldwide with less than 10k VR have them.
Rantai
Screw you MK7.

Deny my last 3 star 8 times will you.

Wait, what? :?
mm201
Be a hipster and race with 2 stars. It implies you have the same skill level anyway, just less patience.
NaomiMinette
Stars don't really mean a thing, to be honest. It's just a sense of accomplishment. *lost against so many no-star racers on Worldwide before*

yes ^^ i always try to get 100% in all games i love (osu! isn't possible ...yet)
I love online races :D 5 people spam maka wuhu at least :3

and there seems to be another lakitu glitch to be on this track D:
NaomiMinette
Oh? Do explain.
mm201
If you hit the ground a little bit early at the end of the glider part, you get put on the landing area.
If you land it too late, it's worthless. If you land it too early, you get put back. At best, you only save like half a second.
NaomiMinette
Okay... Don't really get it, but basically it's pointless to do that, right?
Derekku
If you do it right it will save a couple of seconds, but nevertheless it's a fraction of what the bigger glitch does...

even though i lost 2 races because of that D:
NaomiMinette
Okay, I need a (GOOD) vid of this glitch... The one I just looked up was horribly explained/shown.
pieguyn
I did it on accident once by landing on the tip of the lower platform and somehow not opening the glider. o.o

Also, I don't even have any stars, because I beat one of the cups without even getting one and was too lazy to go back and get it. I'd rather try and complete my quest for 9999 VR :P
NaomiMinette
K so... I'm still stumped on when to have kartparties during the daytime for the North American people so the rest of you guys can join us, so either you guys tag us or we tag you :?

Other than that, it'll be the usual times--9 PM CST (GMT -6) or later during weekends.
Rantai
12pm.... easy enough.
