So... Can the scores eventually reset to 0 if we kept the Community inactive?
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.

Finally have this game.
Glad to know that my Mario Kart DS skills still apply to this game :)

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.

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.)
Rantai
Fuuuu I wish I wasn't so busy right now.
NaomiMinette
Sorry... I don't do mornings...
mm201
We're holding a spontaneous kartparty right now. Get on everyone who wants in!
NaomiMinette
Note to self: leave 3DS on when charging for unexpected kartparties.
Soaprman
Give me your phone number and I will IRL highlight you whenever we are kartpartying. This is a good idea and you should do it. < true
NaomiMinette
You have me on Skype now, so just bug me there :P

Anyway, so anyone up for another Skype kartparty this weekend (or tomorrow/Friday) around the usual time?
Soaprman
Friday is pretty much a no-go for me every week. Saturday should work, though.
mm201
The easter weekend was totally booked for me in case it wasn't obvious. :P
I did find Seth on WW last night. Now if only I could remember who that was.
I'd have stuck around until MT got picked but my thumb was too sore to play any longer. (Interestingly, my right thumb gets more sore from holding A than my left thumb ever did for snaking in MKDS.)
Thanks for being merciful with your lightning/triple reds on Mushroom Slide ^^
rust45
That was me, and yeah, I was trying to be nice to you, didn't always work out though. I think the OP should be updated to show everyone's 3DS name so there's no confusion.
NaomiMinette
I suggested that before, but there are either some people who keep changing their names *looks at CDFA* or those who haven't added us back yet.

I know we can just look at the FC's ON the OP, but that's a bit tedious...
mm201
I'm very behind on adding names fwiw.
Soaprman
Just add me multiple times since we're multiple friends.
bomber34
Would be nice if we could arrange kartparties better.
I mean i hadn't got the chance to participate a long time now :/
Xgor
Mianki
Alright, good going Nintendo~
Soaprman
This'll make me want to play Worldwide again. Glad to see Nintendo getting its shit together.
Dieathan
Too bad they still aren't going to fix "that" shortcut.
Soaprman
Well, if you mean Maka Wuhu, they said they had no plans to fix it but I don't see why they can't change their plans. It'd take a special kind of incompetence to have the capability to patch games and not patch that particular thing in this one.
mm201

YES YES YES!
YUSSSS!!!

@Dieathan: What they said no to was putting out a second version of the cartridge with the fix. The mere fact that they're patching MK7 of all games points to me that they intend to fix the * Wuhu * lakitu glitches.
I'd also like to see the option to watch ghost's replays (like MKW) but like that'll happen.
NaomiMinette
So... I know Fridays aren't good for some people, so can we try to have a kartparty this Saturday around or after 9 PM CDT? (I'm surprised I can manage NOT playing for practically 3 weeks already ._.)

Would be nice if you would write this in GMT +/-
because now i have to check how many hours that is away from me.
I wouldn't bother playing around 2 or 3 a.m. ._.
Edit: I looked it up. I am 7 hours away from that ...
Azure_Kite
So I now have MK7.
Soaprman
Go forth and race. Maka Wuhu needs you.
Azure_Kite
Screw Maku Wuhu. It's all about Daisy Hills~
NaomiMinette
I don't get why Daisy Hills is so popular (could be just me)...

At any rate, so are we meeting up tomorrow?
Azure_Kite
I dunno Blaze, I just like the map ._.
NaomiMinette
I meant in general. All the Worldwide races I've been on recently, Daisy Hills is always picked at least once, if not, more than half the time I'm still connected.

I can be there too. We switched to cable today and, unlike my old Megapath connection it actually bloody works. I tried the game out prior to the switch and got DC'd midway through the race. I tried the game out for three races in a row after the switch and it was bloody beautiful. *sniff sniff*
rust45
Can someone give me the time for the party in GMT?
NaomiMinette
Uhh... Well... For me, it's GMT-6. We could start later so those like bomber could join in.
rust45
I'm GMT-8, alright, I can definitely make that.

lol i am 7 hours ahead.
If you play 9pm GMT - 6 i would have to stay up until 4 a.m GMT + 1

um metal mario anyone ^^ ill play add me

That's why I said we could start later so you could join. We could start at like... 12 AM CDT (GMT-6) for all I know.

Tonight's kartparty was a blast. We've begun using Skype while we play... it really adds a lot to the experience. For those of you who weren't on Skype with us during tonight's game, consider trying it next time!
rust45
I forgot all about because I was playing too much minecraft and I just didn't think about it. Maybe I'll actually remember next time.
NaomiMinette
I don't blame you... I still have to make my sky island more... appealing.

Anyway, so just wondering: should we use Skype in all our kartparties (from now on, provided there's like... at least 3-4 people)? It was fun literally raging at each other XD
Azure_Kite
Oh, right. I suppose I should customize my Island, too.

That would help a lot actually, I'm almost always on skype when I'm home. So maybe I can sneak in a game if you guys announce a game through there ;P

(Using a mic won't happen though)

Username is "Rereyl" if anyone wants to add (go go SG alias).

Oh yes it was fun. Though I get the feeling that everyone was raging at me a lot... HEHEHEHEH. :D
NaomiMinette
So about that will... :P (Jkiluinanonhomoway)

And you should use a mic, Rantai. Even CNM did and he initially refused to.

Uhh... so wanna have another one tomorrow? Or should we make this like every other week so it doesn't get too old?
mm201
I'm up for another one.
If we do them too infrequently, people will lose interest.

I only suggested every other week because I thought it was getting somewhat repetitive...

Well whatever. Let's hope we can get more people on Skype :)
rust45
I probably won't be able to do it tomorrow, I have to get ready and then go to prom.
Azure_Kite
1 star on my profile, but I'll be damned if I can 3 star all 150cc and mirror tracks. The CPU is a cheating bastard.
NaomiMinette
No kidding... I had to keep restarting/redoing those cups just to get 3 stars on everything ._.
Azure_Kite
I play with Yoshi as my Driver, so TOAD CAN DIE IN A FREAKING FIRE.

That aside, do wheels affect how much traction you get on the road? For example, a customary glance at the stats of Slick and Gold Wheels, they look pretty much identical, but with Slick you SLIP SLIP SLIIIIIIIDE on off-road tracks (Kalimari Desert, etc etc) but with Gold the issue is far less noticeable.
NaomiMinette
Heck if I know. I've only been playing with Wood Wheels ever since I unlocked it and haven't swapped to any other set since then.
