Yes please. (Make sure you have them at times when us europeans can join :( )

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 .
mm201
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?)
Shohei Ohtani
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.
Bass
From 13th February I am gonna have 2 weeks break from school. Then time when kartparty is on doesn't matter for me.

well i have school break until wednesday :-/
Soaprman
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 :?
Dieathan
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...
bomber34

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.

3 - 4 A.M. not very easy for me :/
But we already had this discussion.
:( Life is unfair sometimes.
But maybe we european should start kartparties ourself. Isn't that good either (would love to play with you all).
It also seems that there aren't so many active europeans in this thread :-/

Well, maybe i will take the challenge to play at 4 A.M with you again Blazevoir :3. But i discovered that i am a little bit aggresive when i am tired xD I also hate the fact that i can't really chat with you while playing, always have to go to my pc when we finished the cup which is a little bit tedious
NaomiMinette
Well... I DID say we could tag you guys, so...
pieguyn
oh, it's at 9 PM? Somehow I missed that >.< I'll try to make the next one.
NaomiMinette
9 PM or later, meaning I don't have a definite time.
rust45
Hey, since we have some people, why don't we start a community match? I've yet to participate in one yet.
NaomiMinette
Waiting on said people now, lol.

Kartparty starting!

Managed to get 7 people in. So much rage~ Anyway, looking forward to the next one :D
Mianki
Kartparty starting when Bass gets home or something. Lurk in #videogames 'till then :P

Starting in 2 hours from now. :P
NaomiMinette
Uuuuuuuuugh... Time zones FTL...
mm201
Funny I was at home at the right time. (Very rare occurrence. Normally I would be at work on a Monday around noon.)
But I didn't check my internet.

Edit: And yes, I'm serious about that "day's notice" thing. I'd have been there with additional warning.
Rantai
Home at last.

You will taunt me no more.
Mianki
kartparty going on~
NaomiMinette
Everyone avoid Mianki. He'll blueshell the shit outta you.
Mianki
The power...
It's unbelievable!
NaomiMinette
Poot you.

Also, gyro controls suck on really curvy tracks.
mm201
Steering the glider with gyro controls is a pain in the ass.
NaomiMinette
I can't figure out if we use the circle pad or gyro controls to ascend or descend... They both look the same (not that I can tell since I can't see behind me >_>).

Also, landings after ramping off something high/gliding sucks the most.
mm201
Gyro-only is the real way.
The rainbow road tube is disorienting with first-person view.
NaomiMinette
TOO disorienting... The game makes you think the tube's holding still while you're in first person... till you suddenly "fall off".

Do me proud. :)
NaomiMinette
Great... So we have:

- A Starrammer/rammer
- A Blue Shell spammer
- The Guy Who is Last Place 90% of the Time

WHAT'S NEXT?!
Soaprman
Only way to find out is to keep karting. 8)
Derekku
oh no I haven't discovered my own MK7 persona yet :V
NaomiMinette
If I could find out how some people are making these custom sigs (like ztrot's Lolis one)...
Soaprman
They're called "userbars" so look that up. There's a userbar maker out there somewhere.
NaomiMinette
The poot... They don't accept pics with transparency? Guess I'm just gonna have to use GIMP to do the rest...

Also, love your new sig, Soap :P
Rantai
Might shamelessly steal that.
Soaprman
My sig's going a different route.
NaomiMinette
So... I'm pretty sure I haven't told everyone (who's reading this thread) yet, but my birthday's tomorrow (or today, depending on where you live; February 17), and I was hoping that whenever I'm free we could have one massive kartparty. :)
Rantai
Obligatory Happy Birthday~
Mianki
HBD~

I'll join if I'm not busy :P
I'll give you extra amount of blue shells
NaomiMinette

Mianki wrote:

Poot you XD Anyway, thanks, you two~
Derekku
Not sure if I'll be able to join, but happy birthday! :)
NaomiMinette
Thanks :D

I honestly don't know what my plans will be for today, so we'll see.

UPDATE: PARTY AT MY HOUSE! (No, really, I'm gonna be having a party at my house, so I probably won't be on till way later.)
Stefan
:D
Rantai
I'm guessing I slept straight through any sort of party today. Damn.
NaomiMinette
Not much of one, really... /sadface
CNM501
Count me out of Kartparties from now. Mario Kart 7 refuses to let me play online anymore.... :( :( :(
mm201
Be first from the last race
Maka Wuhu gets picked
Get a tail
Park in front of the shortcut and tail everyone who drives by

Most fun I've had on Worldwide in a long time :)
NaomiMinette
+1

I usually get useless junk in 1st place though, enough to stop maybe like one or two people.
Haneii
Psst. When do you all play (usually)?
NaomiMinette

Well... for me I wait till the weekends since I hate the idea of charging my 3DS 2-3 days after it's fully charged.
bomber34
I always have to wait until 3 A.M to play with you all :/
mm201
Go get a better time zone.
bomber34
Sounds like a plan :3.
Are there some empty houses on your side? ;)
CNM501
Yay I fixed my settings now I can go online in Mario Kart!!! :D Though i'm a bit worried about the suggested setting Nintendo sent me.... That seems to me a lot of ports needed to be open....Is that kinda bad? o-o
Rantai
It's fine probably. I DMZ my 3DS because I am super lazy.
mm201
Opening outgoing ports is usually safe. The only time it becomes a concern is if you're already infected, but even then, the virus could use a common port like 80 to do its bidding.
NaomiMinette
What the... how come our Community points went down?

Anyway, I guess I still do have my Banana sniping skills *successfully hit people on Worldwide a few times*
_Sammus
Dont have 3DS or something but im gonna try it on emulator or something (:

The Community Leaderboard rankings are determined by the results of the last month of games played in the community.
NaomiMinette
So... Can the scores eventually reset to 0 if we kept the Community inactive?
Torran

Blazevoir wrote:

All scores reset to 0 at the beginning of each month. The Leaderboard only shows scores from last month.
NaomiMinette
Wait, what...

January had scores of around 1k -> February came -> scores were still maintained -> middle of February came -> scores dropped to around 400

I'm totally lost now...

EDIT: Actually... Didn't we start kartpartying around December? There's no way we could've reached around 1k if the scores were to reset, and we didn't even kartparty every day.
NoHitter
Finally have this game.
Glad to know that my Mario Kart DS skills still apply to this game :)
Derekku
i haven't been in a kart party in weeks

i'm having withdrawals ;x;

I had the same deal.
Most of the cups I played I got a triple star rank on my first try. Even on 150cc and Mirror at times.
Soaprman
Call a party tonight then...
mm201
I can make it around 8pm tonight. (10 hours from now)
I still play regularly, it's just no one else is ever on?
