What... How'd I miss the last Kartparty? There was no one on at the normal time I usually go on... ;_;
Uhh... We were on at the normal time, but you didn't show up at all... (at least, for Saturday/Sunday)
I'll be late to tonight's party, probably around 9-10pm my time, which is about the same as the Saturday parties.

AKA one day you press it and it goes "WHEEEEE".
I won't be kartpartying today due to a livestream event, but I should be available this Saturday.
I'll finally be back this friday. So be ready to let good old Wario annoy you again. 
Hopefully people will remember today 
I'll try to remember. I won't be able to make tomorrow's for sure, so I want to make this one.

Okay, SO...
Turns out that at Gamestop - going to go there for the free Steel Diver and Nintendogs - I can get the MK7 3DS XL bundle for $200, which will effectively give me an alternative save file to dink around with for no extra costdue to Nintendo's bad digital practices.
What this means is a very easy way to get into <2K VR rooms. That's right. Forget about 4K, 5K VR rooms. Here we have the holy grail of trolling. And, since it's an alt I'll just be able to tank my VR whenever it starts to get too high via DCing. Furthermore, seeing me do very well with <2K VR against people with much higher VR would be hilarious and you all know it.
Currently at $145.71 after recounting. If you want to make this happen sooner, donate via paypal to nathananderson009@gmail.com Sounds cool, doesn't it, guys? ^_^ </troll>

I don't condone the trolling of low VR rooms for its own sake. The lack of a decent matchmaking process contributed greatly to the MKDS "snackin iz chestin" controversy and probably wouldn't have happened, or at least been so severe, otherwise. I attribute why MTs were so nerfed in later versions to this controversy.
Despite its imperfections, we shouldn't troll the VR system. The only reason I've been helping you into low VR rooms as of late is because of your current handicapped state.

Though at the same time, 20k+ VR rooms are so rage-inducing, even moreso than the rage amongst ourselves

If you guys are there then it turns into basically Community Races with More Blue Shells.I actually prefer 40+K VR rooms because even 20K, 30K VR rooms are too easy for me when my R button's working and I'm in the zone.
EDIT: The reason I typically suggest lower VR'd rooms is for the lesser racers in the room. When I'm on my own I actually go for the highest VR rooms I can.
Topic Starter
Actually, once I get that 3DS XL we're doing 20K VR rooms for a couple weeks. No whining, Blaze. You've had your low VR fun for what, a month now?
Thank you for slapping some sense into me, mm. ^_^

10k-12k-ish VR is low? >_>

It's considered by a lot of high level players to be relatively low, yeah.Blazevoir wrote:

I'm almost at 8k... that's high, right? Right?
Real question for you high VR lot. Is there any noticeable difference between, say, a 10k room and a 30k room? I'd kind of imagine it becomes meaningless past a certain point...

'K, 'K, I'll be up front this time. No immoral shenanigans. Here's the deal about my 3DS XL situation:
I'm at $145 thanks to Soap and Christmas money, right? A new 3DS XL costs about $215 after tax. I can weasel out about $30 from my father, so that means I have about $40 to go. I am randomly given $20 once every month or two or three (that's usually enough for me because I don't really buy that much stuff). So as things currently stand, that $40 could take quite a while to get. I'm close, though, so I'm definitely sticking to that goal.
The biggest reason for me to just go for the 3DS XL is because the shoulder buttons are of much higher quality (all the buttons are, actually, but the shoulder buttons in particular are much closer to console quality than DS Lite quality). The way I see it, the risk of my getting my current 3DS repaired just to have to pay $85 again 2 years later is just way too high; my 3DS definitely wasn't defective or anything, so it would likely eventually happen again. Also, the screen on my current one has those screen scratches, and if I wanted that fixed that'd probably add on a significant figure to the repair bill.
Anyways, how long it will take me to get that $$ will depend on various things. But there you have it; that's the exact situation I'm in. I could probably get a used one within a month or so, though, because I'd just need one $20. Wish me luck!
EDIT: No, wait, I think I've got this. Just gimme a couple weeks.

Not *that* excited, but I may be able to get it pretty soon if the force is with me. I want to be able to have real races again, damn it!Justykanna wrote:

20K VR = 20,000 VR.
Can someone lend me some VR ? ^^
Topic Starter
If it makes you feel any better, I'll be joining you in the low VR range next party. I got the MK7 XL bundle today, and have decided to use that alternate file as a back-up file in case I lose my cartridge (I love MK7 *that* much). Since I already have everything on my main file I'm going to be racing on that file until I get my favorite parts.sasori93 wrote:

Do note that I'll be having a higher VR'd player get us into a higher VR'd room because it'll get my VR up significantly quicker.
No, I'm just joking around. I guess if I would play more often my VR would be much higher, too.

I knew that. I'm just saying my plan for this weekend's kart parties.sasori93 wrote:

All there is to do is grind it to a higher level. Playing low VR opponents was never any worse than playing computer opponents.sasori93 wrote:

I'll see if I can join tonight's, chances are I won't though. If I do join, I'll probably be away from my computer.
