I think that the Sly Joker and Silver Thunder should replace the FC and JV weeks. I feel that otherwise it is easy points for the guys at the top of the main competition. I doubt that they play very much with the SJ and ST so this would balance things out nicely.

But keeping FC and JV in SA/C might be the only thing that draws any other players to this under-appreciated tourney. Just a thought. Re: Emergency Rule Changes

I would still like there to be SJ and ST weeks though. I like the change. Re: Emergency Rule Changes

I understand. Kort felt that one of the problems with the tourney was its length ... 10 weeks. So he shortened it. But doing so midstream is probably a case of "too little, too late."

I totally agree with you, Ninto. The point of the SA/C is racing with cars that people don't normally race with. It's fun to compare the performance of the 'obscure' vehicles like Silver Thunder and Sly Joker with the performance of the more popular ones; since I've been racing in the SA/C I've even considered switching to racing only with Fire Ball. I wish we could get some of the Japanese competitors in on this, I would like to see how I rate against their non-standard-vehicle times. I don't see any reason, Ninto, that we couldn't compete against each other with SJ and ST even if it isn't in the SA/C- we do seem to be the only competitors in it anyway.

Ok, there's 3 of us playing in this competition now. Who's with me and wants the Sly Joker and Silver Thunder weeks to replace the FC and JC weeks?

yep, SJ and ST! It should be 4 players, right? Ryan Jenning can still compete.

The people have spoken, (well except for Ryan) but yeah, we would prefere SJ and ST weeks instead of FC and JV please. Re: Emergency Rule Changes

How about this. We reinstate Week Nine, and you can pick which one of the vehicles you want (SJ or ST) to race with? Fair enough? KEJ

Stingray. I have not done the update, so if you can beat me to the update, it goes in. then after that, I will start on the FMK2. I will keep Stingray open for one more day, but FMK2 starts now. Updates are now on Saturday at noon (EDT) 6 PM Great Britain to provide some recovery from the shock of the normal update. Kort Everett Jackson

I'm sorry, I don't mean to sound mean but what's the point of having a deadline if you don't keep to it? Whether you have or have not finished the update, it should not affect the deadline time, surely?

Ryan's times should definately count, in fact he should get extra points for staying up until the wee hours of the morning making his Stingray times- that's dedication! Re: Emergency Rule Changes
Post by F-Zero Fanatic on Jul 28th, 2003, 12:20pm
Indeed, you have to admire his dedication to the competition. Re: Emergency Rule Changes
Post by KEJackson on Jul 28th, 2003, 12:36pm
Yes, but that deadline starts with the FMK2. Any times submissions I see that are timestamped a minute later will not be counted.
I allowed Ryan to submit his SR times because he is a regular in SA/C, and I understand that extremely odd circumstances befell him. As of now, I will now have a full detailed update for you guys, including some of your best times, Like your #1 times, or maybe a couple of #2 times. On the final update, I will offer a step by step breakdown on what happpened and why.
Richard and J.T. : If you keep submitting times and partcipating, we will probably go out with the instant popularity of the HV. (if not better, I expect some good players to join up in FC and JV ) Mike Kircher: Just where are you? Kort Everett Jackson

Sounds good Kort.
You said earlier in this topic that we could choose between Sly Joker or Silver Thunder for week 9, well I choose Sly Joker.

Silver Thunder for me! It is one of the most difficult cars to race and should make for some interesting times. Re: Emergency Rule Changes
Post by Ryan Jenning on Aug 2nd, 2003, 12:23pm
I would want to race with the Silver Thunder, but then agian, having a game that does not save makes it easier to just get the Sly Joker. But then again, when I re-earn all of the tracks, I do it in Expert anyway, ahhhhhh, I guess put me down for Silver Thunder. By the way, when do I race with what. It's Saturday today starting the next car (i think) but what one are we supposed to race with, is it FC, JV, then the one we are decideing? Thanks for filling me in!

Ok, FMK2 is done. If you have not submitted all your FMK2 Times, do it now. Tommorrow, the FC is the next vehicle. SR update will be melded with the FMK2 update. I will identify each one, but they will be in the same post. KEJ
