F-Zero: Maximum Velocity Update Logan West
It's a privelage to be able to write for y'all here, really it is. A while back Dave asked me to take this over and I didn't feel qualified, I mean, MV was sacred or something! Yet I stuck my foot in the door this time around and we'll see how it goes. Let me just say something really quick though: I usually don't have enough time to check the boards for all of the times submitted, and since I don't get a copy of the form you send your times in, if you have anything that you would really like noted in the news, then by all means, please e-mail me and I'll try to mention your crowning accomplishment.
Please bear with me this week, due to the unusual recent happenings, I can't tell what accomplishments some of you may have done two weeks ago, I only can give information on more recently submitted times.
New Members: Please welcome Wille Karhunen (98th, Bishop D) who joins in the top 100! Mark Padelsky (131st, Pawn A), Ilkka Heinonen (140th, Pawn A), Josh Johnson (154th, Pawn B), Alain Trinh (157th, Pawn B), Matthew Peetoom (197th, Pawn D), Panu Karhunen (207th, Pawn D), Luke Callaghan (208th, Pawn D), Brodie Forbes (214th, Pawn D), and David Holliss (244th, Novice). A hearty hand-shake and a warm grin to all of you. Would you believe we're almost to 250 members?
King: Leandro Ribeiro (4th, King A) sets three more lap records and if I'm not mistaken, he might have even a bigger surprise for us this next update! Nick Harsh (7th, King B) leapt up four places to land solidly in the top 10! Kalle Videkull (15th, King C) makes a beautiful 8 position jump! Clement Leung (16th, King C) also makes a gain in posistions. Fred Just (22nd, King D) works on some more times, and Dave Crawford (24th, King D) who has been teetering on the edge of Kingship, has made it back to the King section this week!
Master: Wouter Jansen (34th, Master B) who was "inactive" for the last few weeks, pulls a thirteen place gain to land him ahead of Logan West (35th, Master B). Logan announced his official retirement from active gameplay with this update. More info on the message boards. Kevin C. Cabral (43rd, Master D) who is probably the FC champion (or close to it) also competes.
Expert: Jessica Lawferd (50th, Expert A) is another FC user and she improves several times. Dave Phaneuf (53rd, Expert A) improves his worst time. Olivier Holmi鑽e (60th, Expert B) joins the first page once again, great job!
Bishop/Knight Gregg Richardson (90th, Bishop C) remains active, along with Jerrad Neff (102nd, Knight A), James Kitchen (104th, Knight A), Silas Verrinder (105th, Knight B), and Thomas Freeman (116th, Knight C) who made a very large leap this week. 41 places if I'm not mistaken. He's an example to us all!
Pawn/Novice: Matthew P. Collins (136th, Pawn A) moves up 29 places, Chanook Lefebvre (176th, Pawn C) comes up 4, and Alex Pitera (202nd, Pawn D) comes up 18.
Lots of movement this week, good luck on the next!

Aww, now I feel bad of Oliver. He just got back on the first page, and when I submit my times I'm gonna knock him right back off! I printed out his times, and have been trying to do better than all of them to get on the first page. So far, I have only finished with my Pawn and Knight times, and I will do Bishop and Queen times this weekend. I'm gonna wait and submit my times when I have them all however because I think that jump up over 100 places is VERY noteworthy. Look for a time update from me soon Logan!

Okay! Yes, I large jump is indeed noteworthy, to me at least. When I first got the game, I played for the last few days before the update (I wanted to be on the update badly) and had just unlocked Queen and gone through it once (you can imagine how bad my times were) and landed in 183rd place I think. The next week I jumped up ninety places! I expected a huge writeup in the news (I know, I'm a hog for fame). But the funny thing is, Dave Phaneuf also made a gain that week (and landed in the position ahead of me: 92nd) but not quite as large as mine (his former was like 135 or something) and yet all the mention in the news was "Dave Phaneuf and Logan West unleashed the vast power of the Fighting Comet. Both made large gains."
Well, that kind of made me irritated (just in fun) so I singled out Phaneuf as my personal rival, printed out his times, and beat them one by one (I think there were still a couple I hadn't beaten, I'm not sure if I have yet either).
So go to it Ryan! Oliviere hasn't been doing bad in the other games 
As a side note, I'd better spellcheck or proof-read my reports next time. I opened the main page today and was horrified at the misspelled "privilege."
Edit: Hmmm, I did spell it wrong in my update post, but it's spelled differently on the first page. I liked my misspelled way better Crawford must have tried to correct it. Thanks anyway Dave.

Yeah, hopefully another 41 places to come. I won't have posted many times this week though. Too busy.
