I'm not sure I'd rank you below me, but otherwise the list looks pretty good. MM is definitely the best of all of us.
I was being polite. In reality I'm actually tied with Soap for 3rd, but placing me like that would make me look arrogant. ;P Nah, I'm really that bad. :(

Also, I started playing on WW again. Is it just me, or do most of the people who pick Metal Mario with that overused combo not know what they are doing? It's like they just pick the combo they see used all the time in TT and copy it because they think this is Mario Kart Wii, completely forgetting that this game has different mechanics.

EDIT: Actually, I might be 4th, since I've never really seen Soap use a light character yet he still manages to have a pretty even W/L ratio with me.

Yeah, our W/L ratio is 71-74, your favor. You son of a- :(

Haha, just noticed your OP edit :P (Then again, it's hard NOT to notice it, especially since you changed the thread title XD) <3 it~

However, do be warned that your W/L ratio will likely be tarnished by this experience.
I used to have a positive W/L before I started karting with you guys.

Added Etiquette Rules just now, too, in hopes that we'll never have to suffer through somebody spamming Toad Circuit for like 2 hours straight again.

Ekaru: I find your play style very tenacious. I'd place you right up there with Blaze for sure.

Btw. Who is yoshi on this list o.o ?

An old friend of mine from across the cyberweb. His account name here and elsewhere is Yoshi348.

Uhh... Stupid question, but do the etiquette rules only apply to Community? (AKA clarify the OP, yo!)

If you're referring to me, I don't think that was for 2 hours :?

I'll try and get into more of these now that I know what time it's at :P

Thing is, we've actually been getting 8 player kartparties recently, so there might be a chance you'll either have to wait till someone else leaves or join a separate group :(

Assuming the latter happens, we could probably still play with two groups:
  1. One Group would have to be full
  2. 9th or so person attempting to join would automatically make a 2nd group
  3. A few/Some people from the first group could tag the person in the 2nd group

My only point was that you shouldn't be picking the same course over and over and over the entire freaking time. Don't worry about it!

@pieguy: Nah, it was someone else. :D

@mm: Awwwwwww, thank you. <3
pieguyn
Fine with me ;)

I've been playing quite a bit of WW this past week, and I have come to discover just how amazing bananas are when used properly.
NaomiMinette
Define properly. Banana sniping ftw!

I've been playing quite a bit of community these past months, and I have come to discover just how amazing starmen are when used properly.

So guys, about CNM's and Elly's funeral... :P

CNM501
We love ya too Blaze <3

I'm fine with a funeral as long as I get buried in a Warp Pipe or something related to Mario Bros.
NaomiMinette
K, enjoy this Piranha Plant~

I never even saw it! I can't reply to things I don't see! Repost, please.

What I removed (read this first!)
So, this is probably gonna sound extremely silly, but I thought about a way to make things a bit more interesting for our next kartparty:

For testing purposes (and to see if I'll keep this up), you'll have to try and hit me with certain items/a certain amount of items as part of challenges I'll be setting (they'll be announced before each race or so; Community races only unless we somehow get a Worldwide party with only us osu! people). For example, if I say "Try and hit me with 5 green shells within one race before it ends" (you MUST be somewhere within my touchscreen/range for it to count) and you manage to do so, you get a point. (No, I'm not letting it stack AKA you hitting me with 10 green shells for 2 points, etc. Yes, more than one person can get a point for the same challenge. Also, since I'm sure we all have different internet speeds, I'll be judging things from my screen.) The challenges, of course, will vary. Also, if any challenges involve more than one race (ex.: Try and hit me with a Blue Shell 3 times within 3 races), you'd get a point for each successful attempt. Whoever has the most points from these challenges wins!

Now, like I said before, this is just something silly I came up with, and you don't HAVE to do this. I just wanted to try something that'll probably make things a bit more competitive (and possibly more fun) even though you don't really win anything out of this. That being said, if this manages to catch on, I WILL be posting a leaderboard after each kartparty session. To keep things fair (especially for those who either couldn't join in right away or decide to leave early), a person can only have a certain max amount of points per session (which will probably vary depending on the amount of people playing/who agree to do this).

So what do you guys think?
After you've read the above
To be honest, I didn't think things through and will most likely scrap the above idea, and here's why:
  1. This will definitely requite a lot of concentration on my end, so I honestly don't know if I'll be able to track each hit properly.
  2. I suck at creativity, so the challenges will probably be generic (though if I try to add anything complex, it'll probably ruin what place you'll end up in).
  3. Since mm usually "does Time Trials" during most of the races, the challenges wouldn't be fair on his end.
  4. The above idea (first spoilerbox) was something I typed out of boredom.
Of course, if you guys have any ideas on how to keep things interesting, I'll try to continue this.

Yes, yes it is. 9 PM Central, but I'm pretty sure you have the time right on your side.

EDIT: 'cuz if it was 7 AM for you then you'd have a much easier time getting on. ;P
NaomiMinette
Eh... Guess I'll scrap the idea... Anyway, kartparty in 15 mins unless you're busy.

Time to break out the bug repellant... maybe.

(To be honest, I don't know if I'll be joining tonight; KH3D's really making me wanna finish it first.)
rust45
Take a break from it, I'm making my brother take a break from it so I can join in today's party.
NaomiMinette
Yeah... taking a break... Fighting 3 bosses IN A ROW WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO SAVE AND DYING A LOT isn't helping ._.

Damn, so many Starmen and magical jumping stuff this session, lol.
