The easter weekend was totally booked for me in case it wasn't obvious. 
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 ^^

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.
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...

I'm very behind on adding names fwiw.
Just add me multiple times since we're multiple friends.
Would be nice if we could arrange kartparties better.
I mean i hadn't got the chance to participate a long time now :/

Alright, good going Nintendo~
This'll make me want to play Worldwide again. Glad to see Nintendo getting its shit together.
Too bad they still aren't going to fix "that" shortcut.
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.

YES YES YES!
@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.
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 ._.)

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 ...
So I now have MK7.
Go forth and race. Maka Wuhu needs you.
Screw Maku Wuhu. It's all about Daisy Hills~
I don't get why Daisy Hills is so popular (could be just me)...
At any rate, so are we meeting up tomorrow?

I dunno Blaze, I just like the map ._.
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.Blazevoir wrote:

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*Soaprman wrote:

Can someone give me the time for the party in GMT?
Uhh... Well... For me, it's GMT-6. We could start later so those like bomber could join in.
I'm GMT-8, alright, I can definitely make that.
lol i am 7 hours ahead.Blazevoir wrote:

If you play 9pm GMT - 6 i would have to stay up until 4 a.m GMT + 1
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.bomber34 wrote:

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!
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.
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

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 ;PSoaprman wrote:

(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.Blazevoir wrote:

So about that will... (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?

If we do them too infrequently, people will lose interest.

Well whatever. Let's hope we can get more people on Skype
I probably won't be able to do it tomorrow, I have to get ready and then go to prom.
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.
No kidding... I had to keep restarting/redoing those cups just to get 3 stars on everything ._.
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.

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.
Fair enough, lulz.
I never even knew each part had their own effects. I thought they only affected the stats of the vehicle.
That was kinda why I was asking, hahah, I'm not sure if there is a tangible difference in stat-wise identical parts, or if it's just my perception of it.
Aiming for the Golden Steering Wheel now. By playing 80% of 100 recent games with the gyroscope, I wonder if the recent games applies to all game types (Offline Gran Prix, Online Races, Battles, etc) and whether the Golden Steering wheel is temporary. Does it wear off if the percentage of recent games played with Gyro Controls falls below 80?

Bad luck? You mean, Banana slip followed by Green Shell, topped with a finely aimed red shell ending in a Spiny?
Yes. That has happened to me. My face hit the desk so hard.

Am I the only one who has no stars and plans on continuing to have no stars?
Well, I do sometimes get stars, but they're the kind you use to knock people off the track with.

I don't know if using it for different game modes will affect you getting it, but yes, it DOES go away if usage of it is below 80%.Azure_Kite wrote:

I have two stars and I'm plenty content with that, I could get three if I wanted to but I got so pissed off at the AI I literally haven't played GP since I got my last cup with two or three stars.Soaprman wrote:

I don't want to brag or anything, but I had the feeling that it's quite easy compared to older games to get all stars. Of course you still need a good portion of luck, but after some retries and practice and the right kart you should be able to get them without problems.
And I have access to Internet with my 3DS here now, so I'm up for some matches, just inform me when something is planned

Err... Well... We could start earlier or later than that, really.
(Rawr, get a better timezone

(Rawr, get a better timezone

No, MKDS was by far the easiest. The CPUs slowed down on lap 3 and you could reliably dodge blue shells on 150cc/mirror.Dangaard wrote:

You could also snake so hard on MKDS that the AI chumps would never be able to keep up anyway.
Topic Starter
In all seriousness, use a 5.5 acceleration combination for MK7's single player. That's what I typically do, and even 3 blue shells usually aren't enough to take away my lead on 150cc (online is a different story).
The CPUs traveled at MT speeds for the first 2 laps. Which suggests to me they knew very well how effective snaking was, but couldn't code an AI to do it properlySoaprman wrote:

If you pick Toad Circuit a lot, Remmy will edit your profile free of charge. This is a great way to get free profile edits.

Also: let's plan the next Kart session some hours earlier :U
I'm going to Assume MT means Mushroom Turbo.
Mini-turbo. The official name for the speed boosts you charge up while powersliding.
I see. You kids 'n yer Gameplay based Jargon.
I usually announce them a day before the next kartparty. Though not intentional, they always seem to start at Friday, 9 PM CDT (GMT -6).Dangaard wrote:

I remember you saying that's like 4 AM for you... I guess we could try having one earlier than that next tim--err... wait... do you usually sleep after midnight? If not, we can try to have it earlier. If so... well... actually, if we had it later I probably couldn't chat in Skype, but we could still try to have one later.

Okay, so... does a kartparty at 6 PM CDT (GMT -6) tomorrow sound good?
10 am oh god. We'll see I guess.
I'm really sorry, but that's like 1 AM for bomber and (I think) Dangaard, and I'm really trying to get more people together as best as I can x.x
I calculated that it's 3 AM for me and 2 AM for bomber and Dangaard. Yeah, there's never a really good time for everybody but I guess I'll try and make it
6 P.M. (GMT - 6 ) is (add 7hours because of GMT + 1) is 1 A.M. for us germans. (I hope i did no mistake now)Mianki wrote:

Internet says that it's GMT +2 in Germany, did you remember to add summer time? http://wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/time-z ... n/germany/
But when we have summetime on the northern hemisphare that also means that USA has summertime so that is +- 0 at the end....Mianki wrote:

I'll probably show up a little late to tonight's.
No need to wait for an Officially Sanctioned Kart Party. Just yell "kartparty" in #videogames and see who shows. I'm on most of the day on weekends. (not in the osu! client, but I keep IRC open)

Okay, so I guess 6 PM CDT (GMT -6) is still a bad time... Probably the next (and last) scheduled time I'll try is 3 PM CDT. If that fails, we'll just kartparty whenever.
