Mario Kart League 2015

Recommended Posts

Not really feeling it this year, I was hoping someone would want to take over but that is looking very unlikely. I'll be taking part tomorrow but I might be out until the DLC hits. I'll see if I'm in the mood for Mario Kart or not each Thursday. With that, I'm not being host for either group this year.

 

To be honest, I'm sort of feeling similarly at the moment :hmm:

 

As much as I enjoyed coming late the the party last year, having a specific night to play one particular game every week isn't usually how I like to do things. I generally prefer to play what I want whenever I'm in the mood as opposed to dedicated a night to a game each week whether I want to play it or not.. but then noone is forcing me to join :heh:

 

I suspect the DLC in May will add some spice again but I fear being burnt out a little by then.. and I'm expecting to suffer a nightmare in Week 1 due to being dropped into Group 1 :shakehead

The group members are randomly chosen. Most of the high rankers from the previous year are in Group 2 this week.

 

You lucked out.

Who's else is in?

 

WTF!

 

I'm willing to take over when you step down mate, it's unthinkable to me that the league could end.

I've sent Miiverse Friend requests to @Glen\-i, @Foxfear and @f00had.

 

As the host, I need to know if everyone has the DLC tracks or not, are we allowed to select the full selection if we all have them?

Nearly had to pull out, couldn't get the WiiU to even turn on yesterday. But managed to get it going, had to pull the plug (literraly) and it worked after putting it back in. Managed to stabilize the internet, so hopefully there will be no disconnections during the GP.

 

Looking forward to the GP, see you this evening.

This year, we use the DLC tracks for every players choice.

 

Not turned my Wii U on in over a month, I hope it still works.

 

NEXT LEAGUE NIGHT: TONIGHT Thursday 29th January 2015 - 8.00pm BST

 

All groups will play 3 GPs

GP2_zps88b7ee92.jpg

 

GP3_zpsff2a87e2.jpg

 

IMPORTANT:

 

1. Everyone: if you haven't already, add your group host ASAP

2. Everyone: join your group host from 7.50, do not join after 8pm.

3. Everyone: If you join the group during a GP, pull out and wait a few minutes later until you think the GP is complete. You will know the GP is over as there will be no course selection screen and they will be in the lobby waiting for you.

4. Everyone: By joining the group during a GP, you will mess up the points system. Have a bit of patience.

5. If you are disconnected, rejoin as quickly as possible and then let me know at the end of the GPs which GP you were disconnected from.

6. If you use a bike in a kart only theme night, same with karts in a bike only theme night, your score will be void

Start time is 8pm, is it not? I was certainly never late. ;)

Speaking of which, Group 1...

 

@Phube NNID:Phubey

@Clownferret NNID: clownferret 1

@Brian58 NNID: Hairdresser14 1

@viceview51 NNID: viceview51 1

@Jimbob NNID: Jimbob-NE 1

@Gaz1885 NNID: ????? 1

@Pestneb NNID: Sjonpi 1

@Dcubed NNID: Nuclear_Muffin 1

Nando NNID:nekunando1

 

I'll be opening the room at 19:55.

If anyone/Lostmario isn't cool with that, then someone else will probably have to host in the future.

 

Also, I've not received a freind request from Gaz1885, and don't have their NNID so can't add them. :blank:

He told me he wasn't sure he would be able to make it tonight... I did tell him yesterday that he needed to either give his NNID or let you guys know if he was pulling out for the night.

 

I assume he has pulled out because he's on call tonight...

 

Bit annoyed at him really. At least the groups weren't full this week.

 

Just as a heads up, I'm running a little behind, so getting online for GP1 will be a bit tight. So an advanced request, if I'm not there on time please start without me... always annoyed me when the first GP would get delayed 10/15 minutes for one person.. and I don't want to be that one person!

 

I will contact Gaz.. I believe his NNID is GazFord. He is on call tonight though so even if he does accept the friend request he may be a no show, if he gets a call out.

 

ok update, called his place, he is out till 8/8.30. I'm half tempted to call his wife and get her to take his place, although I can't imagine him being too pleased... anyone remembering my "prowess" from last year... well I beat him quite consistently (barring the item induced exceptions).. and he beats her similarly. So I don't think she'd do his average rating much good. Could help the rest of us in the group though :D

Going online now to get some much needed practise. I genuinely haven't played this since the last league night.

If it weren't for that utterly disastrous 2nd GP, that would've actually been an ok start to the year...

 

Just a shame about that 2nd GP...

 

Good games though! : peace:

 

I'm Excited! Hooray!! :yay:

Bit of a mixed night for me there. Some bad bad luck and item raped from the get go. Messed up a few times too. Best was GP three for me this week.

Fairly annoyed that ye didn't wait. I was there on time in the room and I told ye that I was just switching to the LAN adapter because I was having lag in my practise races online and I said I would be back, ye said it was fine. I come back to find ye had started, ye weren't even at the starting line. For a league that is struggling for members ye don't do much to encourage someone to want to come back next week.

My apologies, I did not have the mic on so did not hear and no one posted here to say. I let it go till 2 minutes past 8 and decided to start.
