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)?

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;

Same... I don't even know if others still kartparty anymore ._.

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?

I doubt I'll be able to play at 10 AM here >.>
Oh well, next week it is.
NaomiMinette
Weekdays suck for me... I'll try to make it, though.
RemmyX25
i dont do kartparties anymore because im ALWAYS in last place -_-

I can probably fix that ;_;
Soaprman
I can drive slower if you want. Easier to starram you that way.
NaomiMinette
Good luck getting Stars in the higher places.
Soaprman
Ever wondered why I don't hang out in the front of the pack? It's certainly not because I drive like a clumsy fool, and it's certainly not because mm201 is way better at this game than I am.
Derekku
soapr is my favorite~
mm201
I don't think Krazy Karting is as effective at going slow as it was in MKDS. Else I'd do that.
(Krazy Karting is intentionally picking a bad vehicle for lulz.)
Soaprman
When I have friends over to play Mario Kart Wii, the better players among us handicap ourselves by taking the Bowser Challenge.

Which is...?
Soaprman
Playing as Bowser (or a similarly heavy character) in a kart that handles like complete shit.
mm201
Funky Kong + Flame Runner gogo
NaomiMinette
Lol, I STILL haven't unlocked every Wii character...

Anyway, that challenge sounds fun. We should do it :P (I don't see why not anyway, considering we tried using Gyro controls.)
mm201
But to do bad in MKW, all you need to do is use a kart...
CNM501
That Gyro Party was...horrible...
NaomiMinette
I meant in 7, lol.
Soaprman
I missed a gyro controls party? And nobody called my cell phone or yelled really loud so I could hear or anything? Oh well. Maybe it'll happen again. I'd be up for a Bowser Challenge party sometime for sure.
NaomiMinette
I'm up for either just as long as we get enough people.

:( I guess it is impossible for me to get in Kartparties now ... unless somebody plans them so i already know about it few days before ...
CNM501
Wow, no posts in a week! o-o
Anyway just random but I felt proud of myself the other day. Some guy was spamming Wuhu Island Loop (the NOT maka/mountain one) and glitched to get in front of me. I however had an arsenal of bananas at my disposal and threw them all in front of him. Needless to say, I came first and he ragequitted by next race. LOL :)
NaomiMinette
Oy, don't steal my skills D=

Anyway, grats? XD
NoHitter
Yep. High Acceleration is definitely for me.
Also got from 8th to 1st in a single drift (Airship Fortress, spiral tower) once.

I have found that I can play this game for free near-flawlessly at the library. I like how I was in a low-VR room and after I whooped everyone in the first two races, half the room picked Maka Wuhu... and it still wasn't picked. :D
NaomiMinette
That's why (unless you actually know them and they actually are nooby) you don't judge a 1k VR opponent :P

Anyway, so how often do you play, Ekaru and NoHItter? We need more people for kartparties D:

To make it more obvious, one time, I got blue shelled and a bowser got ahead of me. Seconds later, we both got lightninged in front of the finish. I zipped right past :)

The problem is with the time. My timezone is GMT+8, so when it's night time there, I'm generally in school during weekdays/ asleep during weekends. If we can set a time for it though then maybe I can be there.

Wow. That happened to me too, except it was a Toad who I zipped passed. xD

I play when I get the opportunity, but it's not that often because I can't play at home right now because I keep on getting "A communication error has occurred" in the mid-
A communication error has occurred.
-dle of-
A communication error has occurred.
Fuck this s-
A communication error has occurred.
...*ragequits* This is why I'm put in low VR rooms in the first place; you lose 20 points when you DC, so all of my experiments trying to get rid of that error has caused the VR I've earned while playing elsewhere to go down the drain.

Mario Kart Wii works just fine though so I've been playing that instead.

Le gasp! I do? :O

Is this only for mid-race?
NaomiMinette
No, it's also ANYTIME during race preparation (not sure about Spectating though, though that'd be stupid if you lost VR that way).

EDIT: So I'm seeing other people with Mario Kart 7 now. Anyone up for a kartparty this weekend?

Aww yeah, another 8 person kartparty! Nvm,someone dropped out mid-session...

EDIT2: So I was spectating this one Wiggler who used the whole Gold set... They did pretty badly, lol.
mm201
Please don't edit stuff into old posts or I won't read it.

Edit: Next kartparty is this Friday at utc16:00.
Soaprman
I won't be able to make that time since I work during the day but I made it to the one the other night so it's cool. I'll catch you guys whenever I can!

PM or AM?
Soaprman
That's 4:00pm, which is 11:00am eastern US and 8:00am western US.
NoHitter
Hmm that's midnight for me.
I might be able to make it.
Mianki
Kartparty one hour away right? :P
mm201
Where is everyone?
NoHitter
*sigh*
Trying to find my MK7 card.
mm201
I'll be on WW for an hour. Tag me whoever's interested.
(I guess kartpartying is dead.)
