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.

I choose you, Honey Queen!
NaomiMinette
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.

I'm remembering to use Honey Queen this time.

I won't be on Skype this time because all you would hear is coughing.
Edit: I can join it but will be muted
NaomiMinette
Hope you feel better soon :(

If you wanna add me, my friend code is:

Happy racing :)
NaomiMinette
ASD;LFKJASDL;FKJSA;LDKFJSD;L Yay!

You MUST join us next kartparty :D Grab the codes you need (especially the osu! MK7 Community one) at the Nintendo 3DS Club thread.

EDIT: ...Even though I said all that, there's a chance I might not be able to join this weekend's kartparty, if there's gonna be one. Apparently my net's capped at the moment ._. I'll edit this post again/make another post if something changes.

Just unscrew the cap? It's not on that tight.

I probably won't make tomorrow's party unless it goes on really long. I'm going to be heading to the fair to watch a friend's band play.
Inori
Yeah turns out I'm visiting my cousins over in Lake Tahoe so yeah. unless my uncle magically installed wifi in his car, I might not make it this saturday
NaomiMinette
It doesn't bother me either way. It's not like the kartparties are mandatory anyway (though I'd still like to race with new people as well).

If we don't get enough people tomorrow night then we can just reschedule it to Sunday. :P

Or we can storm worldwide and grind up to a million VR.

Sundays are sometimes bad for me, usually because that's when my family and I eat out (not that it's tradition or anything, but it seems like we hardly ever go anywhere till Sunday).

Or get 10K coins. Which I really need to do.

Yes. :P Well, unless you're lying in the hospital severely injured or something, in which case we'd rather you get some rest.

Argh, forget about it. I don't think I can join you. :/
I noticed that you meet at 9 pm. In Germany that would be 4 am and well, that's the time when normal people sleep :D
bomber34
After 4 weeks i realized that we suddenly have Etiquette Rules:
I lol'd ... I won't stop spamming rainbow road snes, because i never get that track anyway
I might join today again ._.

I also noticed the last time that you guys highlight me often while we do kartparties ... that's funny, because you should ´know already that i cannot chat because my room sucks but it actually does not suck because i like my room just the internet connection sucks
CNM501
Hnnnnng!! I haven't been regular in the Kartparties as much as I used to and probably won't be for a while! I'm so busy, because I wanna finish KH first XD, but in all seriousness I have been really busy lately so count me out of a few Kartparties for a while and I'll try and make a future one as soon as I can. :(

Blahblahblahblah

Before anyone asks, no, we aren't cancelling. We might schedule another one, but still... Only one of you is actually a regular. >_>;

You should :P

Anyway, krazy karting as usual, etc. etc. etc. pieguy's such a haxor, etc. etc., etc. And now to focus on New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Well, *now* I learn that you can cancel bob-omb explosions with the Tanooki Tail. It would have helped a lot to have known that earlier. XP
NaomiMinette
Meh... They usually blow up on me before I get the chance ._.

Are you trying to do it on reaction? You basically need to "feel out" when the bob-omb is going to explode for the correct timing. Even then it's only worth the risk if you're on like SNES RR or something where there isn't much else you can do other than stopping completely.
mm201
As if you'd ever have a tail at the right time.
*tests it out on blue shells...*

Maybe I should try this party thing sometime. Never actually played anything online on my N3DS before. =S
(That and I'm not ACTUALLY that great at the game, lol).
NaomiMinette
The more players, the better, especially if there's no one else around :D
