Shouldn't be a problem making it for 6 or 6:30 if it gets bumped back, hell, that's only like 1am in my time, it's 3:30am at the moment and this is a work night.

-------------------------------------------------------------

We train hard
We train all night
We seek the ultimate prize
GW's Trophy shine's so bright.

Carius the Dingo
Crumply the Skank
Training together
Securing high ranks.


We stand as one
But race as a pair
The cup will be won
But victory we won't share.


I can't write rhymes btw
The end and shit...


 


Here are a few of our training sessions of the green tracks, highlighting B06 and B07

Practice the green tracks as that's what we're going to be doing for the olympics. No-ones suggested any and they are pretty fair difficulty so green nadeo tracks it is.
Thanks for ignoring my post

Seriously green tracks are not difficult / competitive enough.

They are difficult when you are competing for the best time, they are of average difficulty and get increasingly harder toward the end, there aren't as many traps and pitfalls as other colours but it's by far the most balanced for anyone to play, even beginners.
But well, I'm sure with that statement you intend on beating all of us on the "easy tracks" huh Rockman?

I think to make the competition accessible to everyone and not people who have been playing for a while now it's important that medium-difficulty tracks are used. Your argument that they are not competitive does not stand as no matter how easy a track is, the skill of the driver determines the time taken to complete it - unless the track is a straight line.

Sigh this sucks man. I finish work at -6- and you're going to do it at bloody half 5

We'll wait for you man, those Aussies will have to stay up late. 6.30 Sunday is what it's looking like atm.

Edit:

A friend linked me to this video on youtube which is the most insane TM related thing I have ever seen

That's just like, stupidly ridiculous.

The bit where he flips into driving on the wall and then flips out of it. What the hell.

On the weekend I most likely work 4pm-10pm EST on Saturday and possibly Sunday

I might do 11am-5pm on Sunday tho, still unclear




ps all the merit on a track like that goes to the maker

you guys know all the player has to do is step on the gas, right
the track plays itself.
nevermind i guess this isn't youtube
heh

I can see him adjust his position many times during the video, I doubt it's just step on the gas. If it is, it's still very impressive. If it isn't, it's the most insane thing I've ever seen in a game.

big thanx to dragonslayer for sig!

rami, he doesn't adjust his position ever. It is just the way the car lands that makes him move a tad. I've played tracks like those before. It is pretty insane though, yeah.

It is a press forward map but apparently it only works with older versions of trackmania because the physics in the new one is different. Either way it is still jaw dropping!

it's a shame that track doesn't involve any skill to race because it sure looks like it took some skill to make!

He definitely adjusts it in 0:45. It moved a bit when it hit the floor, and he adjusted it again _after_ that. That or I'm blind.

nah, it's just how he lands. He doesn't land perfectly even, so he turns a bit automagically. It's a press forward track, all you have to do is press forward. :P It doesn't work in the newer Trackmania tho, but yeah he doesn't ever change his position, it's just how he winds up landing that gives that illusion.

So when is this happening? I should probably mention I don't mind when it goes on, so my vote is pretty void.
