Be lucky.

I found CDFA and he ed in for one race on Kalimari Desert, then left. =/
I got triple shrooms near the end, cut off the long turn alongside the tracks, and won 1st. I think he must've gotten item pwnt because he should have been second.

Unless there's a way for us to tell you there's a kartparty going on, then the only way for you to know is to be lucky, as mm201 said.

You say you don't keep osu! turned on but is there another way to you? Like AIM or MSN or something? I'd happily take a few seconds to message you whenever it's going down if it's an option.

Also, knowing what times people are around may help. I'm generally around most of the evening after I get home from work, which tends to be between 6-8pm (GMT-5). Often I'm around at random on weekends too.

And if there isn't a game in progress, why not try starting one? A number of us have kartparty on our highlights now for exactly this purpose.

I'm up for a race anytime within 12 PM - 12 AM CST (GMT -6) assuming I don't have anything else to do.

I do have YM/MSN. PM me for info.

And I didn't wanna try starting one since... well... I didn't know when everyone usually gets on. I'd leave my 3DS on, even in Sleep Mode, but... a battery that only lasts about 7 hours at max isn't long enough, especially if you wanna play your 3DS nearly every day. I'm reluctant to play because of that ._. (I'm also more reluctant to charge it/leave it on the charger because I don't want the battery life to go down sooner.)

I live in so i have CET (GMT + 1 or UTC + 1 / UTC + 2 while summertime) i hope this is right xD

On weekend i have no problems staying the whole night awake ^^ so if the time differences are to big i can do something against it

I have Fridays/weekends off, so I can afford to stay up all night on Thursdays. GMT-5. -4 during Summer. I don't notice highlights on irssi, so try to catch me on osu! or I can stalk you in my 3ds friends list.

Kinda voting for a weekly community race, but I'll try to catch you guys.

I'm not much of a presence here on the osu forums but I couldn't this up when I saw it. I have ed the osu community!
Also my FC is 2707-1623-9659. If anyone adds me let me know so I can add back.

I'm adding anyone that's posting here and here (post your FC there, too), though I don't always have my 3DS on to check to see who's on, but I added you

Added

That first RR was like a perfect run. Besides falling off the ripply road with holes too early.

General observations:
Blazevoir is cool dude
When Soaprman is around, things get messy.
Remmy is mediocre at everything.
I am the undisputed banana/green shell champion
SNES Rainbow Road is a road that you go to die.

fuck you

I would like to say:

- Poot jj for lolstarhaxing
- Poot mm for making us feel lonely

That is all.

It's okay Blaze, come here and I'll make you feel less lonely.

Get MK7 first >_>

Deal.

Been playing Mario Kart 7 for the past few days and I think my Ghost Data is appearing on the Ghost Data that Nintendo sends through the Mario Kart Channel via Spot. I've even beaten the all of the regular Staff Ghosts and gotten close to beating some of the expert ones as well.
As a side note, that turn after the mushroom jump on Rainbow Road is just sinister. Especially since you can't see it until you make the jump.

It's totally unsightreadable. I fell off the first bunch of times I played the track because I took it right in the middle instead of staying to the left. You also need to time your tricks carefully or you'll bounce too far.

The worst part is probably the turn with the 4 drops around the small moon. When I land them, I begin drifting the wrong way for some reason unless I press R twice. The huge corner cut at the end also takes a lot of luck.

It would be nice if Mario Kart Channel would always send the world records, and also if you could watch replays of ghosts.

mm201, CDFA and I are karting it up RIGHT NOW.

!

Jeez... 8 people races are just insane... Half the time I ended up placing 4th or worse...

BLUE SHELL 2 SECONDS FROM THE FINISH LINE

1ST TO 5TH

WHYYYYYYY

tl;dr - my wireless is really stupid and waits to D/C me until 2 seconds after the race has started

I have come to the conclusion that the only course I can do well on is Maple Treeway ;~;

Screw that track... I keep getting hit by items RIGHT when I enter the cannon ;~;

Damn you time difference ^^.

Or while I'm in bed sick for that matter! Why couldn't you guys highlight me IRL?

Give me your phone number and I will send you erotic text messages telling you to get out of bed and play a rousing game of mario kart :3~.

my phone number is 127.0.0.1 img-trollface-are-you-mad-do-you-have-a-problem.gif.jpg

^ +1

Anyway, so I was thinking we should have a banner... *points to my fail one in my sig*

Poot you, Soap XD

"Alright, who wants to wreck 1st place's chances of staying in first, especially right before the finish line?!" is the image I'm getting

This one is too tall to use as a sig image. I'm sorry.

Quick, make one of me constantly Star Ramming mm201

I would but this router hates my 3DS's guts.

Also, Soapr: I love you.

Soap, stop ramming us >_>

Also, grats to Remmy for getting his first first

Alright, I'll stop ramming you. You can tell I'm not lying because if you go to the "list of people" page on wikipedia and sort by trustworthiness I'm right there on top. I'm that incapable of lying.

^ Total lies

Anyway, we seriously need to have an 8-person community race. (I'd also love it if we could, say, get on Vent so we can hear each other rage XD)

EDIT: So I did Worldwide afterwards... Ended up doing Maka Wuhu 3x in a row ._. UGH! (Seems like Metal Mario players pick that a lot...)

Omg i hate those stupid time differences D:
Sunday 11:30 pm ... jj asks for kartparty people
and i have to wake up 6 a.m.

But hey. I will play with you again xD
and about the Vent thing. Would be nice but it is not possible for me .

Of all the times to get capped.

I'm all over the prospect of voice chat... sure, I'll Ventrilo. I see the thread with the server information too (as well as details of all the... hijinks that transpire in the main chat). I guess we can try that next time we gather!

And I hoped they would fix it.
http://sticktwiddlers.com/2012/01/16/news-nintendo-refuses-to-budge-on-mario-kart-7-glitch/

They seem to be blocking glitched ghosts from appearing through Spot. I hope they can still figure out something serverside, like preventing the track from being chosen, or making glitchers explode in a giant fireball forever.

The reasoning in that article is not to put out a revised cartridge, since people with the first version would still be able to do the glitch. This doesn't rule out the forced-update-to-play-online possibility.

Well but they could do it like with Zelda Skyword sword.
But even then ... You have to dwl it the patch channel . I guess there would be still people who wouldn't do that because they are idiots.
But you have to connect with Nintendo before racing online so it should be possible to force people to dwl the patch "channel".

I hope they will fix this sometime ... or i just play with communities who don't like choosing this Wuhu track.

Whoa, wait, Skyward Sword has a patch? For what? *looks up*

*a moment later* Interesting... /off-topic

Dah! I'd like to race in the community one time but no one is ever on and timezones annoy me. :/

well how about this :3
You tell me your timezone and I try finding a good time spot :3
GMT + 1

But i say that it will happen on weekends :3

Time Zones suck ass sometimes, don't they?

If anything (and this is unintentional), we usually have them on the weekends.

Just stalk players in your friends list and try to drop in on their games.
If more than 2 gather, they'll probably call for a kartparty so stay in #videogames.

I recently heard of this glitched shortcut on Wuhu Mountain Loop and I checked one of the ghosts I got from Street doing this shortcut. I tried it myself in Time Trial and here's the time I got:
Guess that makes me the cheapest bastard in the world right now now. While this may be big news, Mario Kart Wii isn't that much different either, especially when they have some of the same sort of thing. Linking to YouTube since embedding the video doesn't work properly for some reason: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjhUduI53s

I am GMT + 10 but I randomly go on Mario Kart when I can. I don't exactly have a scheduke per se. However maybe knowing what times you guys are usually on would help

Wait, even Wuhu Loop has a glitch?

...

Now I'm wondering if Rainbow Road has one...

Star Cup. The course is Maka Wuhu in the North American Release. It's the same glitch we already know and loathe.

I wouldn't do the glitch on my time trials. It would prevent the game from ever storing a legitimate record there for me ever again, and Nintendo filters out glitched runs for Spot.

Yeah, Maka Wuhu was called "Wuhu Mountain Loop" in other versions, and our Wuhu Loop is "Wuhu Island Loop"

Can someone explain me why they change the names all the times?
It is just confusing ^^
If they would only translate it for the different languages ok but no, that would be toooo easy.

Because cocks.

So... I've seriously been wanting to have an 8-player kartparty for a while now (over Community, of course)... If possible, can we try to get everyone together tonight or tomorrow night around... I dunno... 10 PM - 12 AM CST (GMT -6)? (Not saying that's how long I'd want us to play; you can play as long as you want/drop out whenever.)

My internet reset \:D/

I'll try to be on or something.

I expect I'll be able to make it!

10 PM (GMT - 6) ....
10 PM + 7h = 5 AM .... (GMT + 1)

That should say it all

Ack... Well, I'm gonna be up past that timeframe (the latest being 3 AM CST [GMT -6]), so... yeah.

I should be around!

Did I read that right? Normal time when you guys are on is 5AM my time? o-o No can do. I LIKE SLEEP.

I have other stuff to tend to, so I can't play any earlier ._. I could try playing way later than that, but I have to be in bed by 5 AM CST (GMT -6).

Okay, free now. Just gonna be waiting till the others get on.

shoot me a highlight, ill probably forget. or even email me. whatever

Starting a kartparty now. in whenever!

I


hate


everything


:IIII

Even me? Do you hate me?

1) Poot you guys for item spamming then ramming me off-course.
2) Poot you guys for item camping during (our new) battle community

P.S. TAILS ARE HAX

Anyway, was fun you guys Having 6 people was rage-inducingly fun, but we still need 8!

So apparently I do better in large battle courses with lots of rooms. And it's okay when Soaprman is a dick in races, but not me in battles? ._.

15:10 < Soaprman> items rule

^ Soapr in a nutshell.

That was a really fun Kartparty, my first one too o-o. And Agreed with Blazevoir TAILS ARE HAX.
Also added mm201 and Remmy to friend list

And thanks those who added me.

I camp but it's in a mobile tent.

Kartparty in about 30 mins. BE THERE!

Kartparty starting!

I got this game for Christmas and it's a lot of fun

I've ed the community as well. Hopefully I'll see some of you around sometime o.o

First 8 player community race: me and Soap tied for first

Someone told me to post my friend code. My friend code is 0387-9305-4867.

I was part of that kartparty. . . before it got popular :3.

It got pretty good when it went mainstream though.

So I just checked to see how many coins I currently have and noticed a title below my Mii: Banana Blitzer. Do these titles even mean anything? (Also, apparently whether it's Worldwide or Community, all your Wins and Losses are tracked together; I have over 1k wins and 400+ losses, and I haven't even been doing Worldwide that much.)

I think it has something to do with your street ghosts... like, determines your ghost's AI or something. I've had no luck getting streetes though so it's not like I'm able to try such a thing out!

Soaps right it determines your AI but for Grand Prix. So if you use a lot of Bananas you will be Banana Bltizer and if you Street someone you'll appear in their Grand Prix randomly and put a whole lot of Bananas everywhere >_>

What does "drift wizard" do?

I need a full list of these titles, STAT! *goes and Google's them*

EDIT: Geh, no luck...

I went to the park and got a street with this kid who was a bomb-omb boomer or something.

Needless to say I hated my life for the entire race.

Just imagine if there was a Star- or Blue Shell-related title... GAH!

I've seen "star racer" and "shell shark."
At first, I figured star racer meant you had a star ranking.
