Turbo Sliders League Interest Gauge

[MJ4H]

If you would be interested in a Turbo Sliders league, please express interest in this league. In order to do the tiered system I advocated in the other thread we'd need more than 20 racers I think.

[SirFozzie]

Turbo Sliders? What's that?

[Vince]

I'd be in, depending upon the time constraints. I'm west coast, so the time difference might be a kicker (as in by the time I'm done with work, ~9 PM PST, most of the rest of you are ready for bed), but I'm willing to be flexible :)

[VPI97]

I'd be in, depending upon the time constraints.Ditto. My work schedule is one where I never know when I'm getting home.

[VPI97]

Turbo Sliders? What's that?Kick-ass head-to-head racing in a "Super Sprint" style.

[sovereignstar]

[sovereignstar]

Ragone wanted to get something to eat.
RendeR should be around.
RPI-Fan said he'd be back in a bit.

[Ragone]

I'm back now.. i'll host my server again.. unless someone has a better connection

and i'm in for any league action

ragone76 for my server..(aim) it'll be up in a few

[Suicane75]

I havn't played much and i'm not that good, but I'd be more than up for a league of some sort.

Eh, don't worry about that. I'm very inconsistent and pretty bad some times. I do fine by myself, but then when playing with others I press too much and hit stuff. I rattled easily. :)

[VPI97]

ragone76 for my server..(aim) it'll be up in a fewCare to PM me? I am AIM-less.

[sovereignstar]

Almost ready for takeoff. I'll PM anyone else interested.

[sovereignstar]

Suicane and MattJones4Heisman, join in when you're ready.

[Suicane75]

Damn, im gettin ready to watch the Sopranos, but if anyone is still playing later tonight ill definatly join in.

I'll play.

[korme]

Wow, this is old school and free, I thought this was just some enw PC game.

I'd play in a league of this, that'd be pretty fun.

[korme]

is there anyway to get this in window mode?

[korme]

nvm, i think i got it

[korme]

my internet is being shitty and i can't get connected.. while i keep trying i have found extra cars you can download ebsdies the 4.. they dont seem to be overly beast or anything, still with weaknesses, but should we stick to the basic 4 in the league or..?

[korme]

finally got in, looks like i'm too late

[SirFozzie]

I'll suck, but I'm interested after I run FOFC FBCB :)

[MJ4H]

Nice that the whole thing crashed after I finally won a race

:mad:

[korme]

nope, i made it to get booted after 2 games. trying to get back in, god damnit

i suck tho ;)

[RPI-Fan]

24.195.226.225 is the new host...

[cthomer5000]

"Wha Happened?"

[korme]

oh ok, i thought it was just me.

funny thing is that i am rearing my head out of last place and some slow ass car takes a dive trying to wreck my attempts, and misses, i didn't have the names up though so i couldn't see who it was!! i am terrible though a league will be fun!

[korme]

since it might get lost in the shuffle

24.195.226.225

[cthomer5000]

24.195.226.225 is the new host...
new host is not working for me...

[SirFozzie]

same here

[TLK]

damn.... TLK sucks

[cthomer5000]

5th place overall... not too shabby.

[korme]

i is awesome!!

in the one new race we ran, i finished 4th or 5th. thats way better than my 2nd to last place for 15 consecutive races

[VPI97]

Freaking awesome

[Ragone]

i'm hosting again.. for now.. aim me for ip

[sovereignstar]

That's because there was only 5 or 6 cars running. I mean, shit, I got 3rd!

[korme]

lol. excellent point.

[VPI97]

I know we probably have enough interest to run one small (6-8 car) circuit. As to anything further, we probably should just start with one and expand when the need arises. Beyond that, we should have some sort of rules discussion somewhere...

[RainRaven]

I am interested as well just to post it offically on the board (as if my constant racing the last 2 days hasn't made it obvious) :)

[cthomer5000]

As long as it's a time I can make, i'd be interested in being part of a regular circuit. I had a blast with our cup last night.

[sovereignstar]

Of course, I'm interested, but two things:

1) I need DSL!
2) Once I start my new summer job, the only nights I'll have open are Sunday and Monday. Monday seems like a good choice. I'm assuming this will only be once a week.

[cthomer5000]

Sunday and Monday night both work for me.

edit: and Wednesday is potentially impossible for me, while Tuesday is not always free.

[SirFozzie]

Sunday would be best, but Monday early is cool too.

[Ramzavail]

Tuesday night at like 730pm EST is the best for me.

[nilodor]

Everytime I try to play I have -200 connection thingy, which makes it absolutally impossible to drive. Any way I can reduce the lag and actually have my car respond to my commands?

Welcome to the club, brother. What kind of connection do you have (56k here :()?

Until I can find a better internet connection choice I'm afraid I'll always be lower tier. :)

[RainRaven]

Nevermind, my attempt at hosting has failed for now.

[RendeR]

I've been thinking about the whole "league" thing and have this suggestion:

Let people run races anytime there are at least 3 people ready and willing to play.

Try to keep the total per cup session to 6 racers at most, this will help those with the slower connections still be able to enjoy the game.

There is a way to delay between races, the host should take the time between each race to write down the finishing order for each race, as well as the final cup standings w/points at the end. This info can be posted to a thread and/or emailed to the commish for compiling into overall style standings.

Standings can be kept for each track: most wins, fastest, etc etc

Overall points collected could be counted or perhaps averaged to see who the top drivers are, and every now and then we can schedule *all star* events where those top drivers face off against one another.

other ideas welcome, I'm willing to set up web space for a site if someone wants to take on the trouble of working it all out. With school and contract work, I'm just too busy to be in charge =)

Hey, I'm in the process of getting a faster connection! You just wait until said connection is up-and-running.

I want in "The Cup". http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[RendeR]

Also, I've discovered that the host can select all the cars ( I think) that he has available and they'll download to the other players, have to test this out, but I found some AWESOME cars today. Whooot.

I'll play with my setup and see if I can host sometime, gotta learn some day ;)

EDIT: if the host selects all his cars then everyone can use them, and I seem to be able to host, though Sovstar still had connection troubles, hopefully they'll get him hooked up soon =)

[Vince]

Ok, so I just finished a monster paper, and I have some time to kill...anyone have a server up?

[korme]

nope, but you can put one up vinny

[VPI97]

I gotta get me a custom car. I'll need one with 22' rims, extra-cushy bumpers, and a fog horn to let people know they need to move to the side.

[Ragone]

I want a car with a dukes of hazard theme :)

[korme]

i started making a course yesterday, then quickly quit.

maybe ill figure out how to make a car, give us some tight whips

[nilodor]

Welcome to the club, brother. What kind of connection do you have (56k here :()?

Until I can find a better internet connection choice I'm afraid I'll always be lower tier. :)

I have a cable modem, which has never given me problems before online. Its quite the pain in the ass.

[cthomer5000]

anyone online & wanna play?

[Ragone]

I'm getting my mmorpg on right now.. sorry.. maybe later :)

[sovereignstar]

try this ip, thought I don't really know what I'm doing

156.143.35.121


Not working, Easy Mac. Firewall?

And to all of you sovstar/56k haters, the cable guy is set to come over to my place Thrursday morning. RendeR, I'm gunning for you buddy! http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Easy Mac]

yeah, and I've had a lot of random port scans the past few days, so I don't want to turn it off.

I thought that IP address looked familiar. http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/%7Efof/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

[Ragone]

your firewall should allow you to run sliders as a server.. mine does

[RendeR]

use my IP agani, server is up

[RendeR]

I discovered something wonderful


everyone with the game look in the records directory, and BOING there is the HTML of all the records on each track that you've been involved with. if you import records from every server you play on, eventually you'll have all the records and can track everything on your own system.

kewl shit!
