Title: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 04, 2009, 03:19:20 PM
8/10 Update:
I will open a room at 8:45PM Eastern and will start at 9:00 or 9:05. I won't be watching the room however, as I'll be at my computer checking to make sure everyone sees that it is open. Once the races start, I will not be at my computer because it is in a different room, so I can't check anything on the Internet. You can still join if you are late, I'll show a track reminder before we start each GP so you'll know which one we are on. I hope to see you all there!

Original post:
Hi all! I'm hosting a friendly get-together in Mario Kart Wii to try out some hopefully fun ideas for GPs that I've had. Anyone who is interested is welcome to sign up and join the fun.
Please vote for the day on which you'd prefer to play. You can select as many days as you are available. Please post in this thread the times you'll be available on the days you selected, so that we can agree upon a time.
Now, first, I must list the rules. I don't expect any such problems from any of you of course, but I must cover this anyway due to legal reasons.
-No hacking -No exploitation of glitches such as those found on Grumble Volcano, Mushroom Gorge, etc. -No playing like a big meanieface. This means no driving backwards, camping on an item box, specifically targeting a certain player, or other such behavior. -No excessive complaining about item "rape". It happens to all of us.
And now, here are the five GPs we will play! Please write down the information for each one so that you do not forget it. Before each GP I will list the track order as a reminder.
GP 1: Taking The Title Literally In this GP, it is all about the one and only Mario! Bowser wouldn't stand a chance against this mob! Character: Mario Vehicle: Standard Kart Courses: Mario Circuit GCN Mario Circuit N64 Mario Raceway SNES Mario Circuit
GP 2: Dino Duo Yoshi and Birdo decide to take a romantic bike ride around the locales of the Mushroom Kingdom. Characters: Yoshi, Birdo Vehicles: Bon Bon/Sugarscoot, Zyp Zyp. Courses DS Yoshi Fails DS Peach Gardens DS Delfino Square Moonview Highway
GP 3: Low-Tier Cup In this GP, the Mario cast find that all of the fast vehicles have broken down because they drove them too much! But that won't stop them from holding the GP! Only low-tier vehicles are allowed in this cup, which basically means any vehicle with a speed rating of less than 45. Characters: Any Vehicles: Booster Seat/Baby Booster, Cheep Charger, Standard Bike S, Bit Bike/Nano Bike, Classic Dragster, Royal Racer, Bon Bon/Sugarscoot, Offroader, Wario Bike, Phantom, Standard Kart S, Standard Bike M, Zyp Zyp Courses: Toad's Factory Koopa Cape Maple Treeway Dry Dry Ruins
GP 4: Girl Power! The women of the Mushroom Kingdom want to show the world that they're more than just a pretty face! Characters: Peach, Daisy, Baby Peach, Baby Daisy, Toadette, Birdo, Rosalina. Vehicles: Standard Kart S, M, L, Standard Bike S, M, L. Courses: Daisy Circuit GCN Waluigi Stadium Grumble Volcano Rainbow Road
GP 5: The Veto Cup Everyone has a say in how this GP is formed! Each participant will choose one each of character, vehicle, and track that will be excluded from this GP, meaning that nobody is allowed to select that choice. And "Random" counts as a track which can be vetoed. Use this thread to make your selections, and be sure to get them in before the day of the meet up.
Here's what's been vetoed: Characters: Funky Kong, Donkey Kong, King Boo, Rosalina, Birdo, Daisy, Baby Daisy Vehicles: Bullet Bike, Mach Bike, Bowser Bike, Standard Bike Large, Magikruser, Dolphin Dasher, Flame Flyer Track: Luigi Circuit, Mario Circuit, Rainbow Road, DS Yoshi Fails, N64 Sherbet Land, GCN Waluigi Staduim, N64 DK's Jungle Parkway, GCN DK Mountain
If you have any questions don't be afraid to ask them in this thread!

Count me in if it's either Thursday evening or Saturday morning/early afternoon.

What time is this happening Mop_it_up?
I'm sure everybody wants to know. Crashman goes by Joie Mop_it_up.

Currently when votes from everyone are tallied, both Thursday and Saturday are tied. Although I'm still hoping for 4 more people to come and join and vote, in case there's a tie then we'll settle that by determining what time you all can play.
On Thursday, it would have to be after 7PM Eastern, but I'd prefer to start at 9PM Eastern. For other timezones that's: 8PM Central 7PM Mountain 6PM Pacific 10:30AM for Dasmos (Friday)
On Saturday, several people have asked for afternoon/early evening. How about 3PM Eastern? How many of you can make that? That's: 2PM Central 1PM Mountain 12PM Pacific 4:30 Dasmos time (Sunday)
Is either one all right? What would work for you guys? Fitting in Dasmos might be difficult, but we can do it!

On the 8th the cable people are showing up to fix some problems and install things from 1-4 pm so. Hopefully they get that done before 6 pm. Very likely.
Both of those should work. Although I am not sure when I am going to wake up on Saturday.

Post by: GK on October 06, 2009, 12:31:54 AM
Unless something suddenly crops up(like my overtime hours being restored), the hour won't be an issue for me. I'm pretty open around that time of day on both Thursday & Saturday.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: vudu on October 06, 2009, 01:45:34 PM
That Saturday time will not work for me. Earlier would be better.
The Thursday time is fine.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 06, 2009, 11:17:59 PM
Alright, it's looking like Thursday will be the day.
Also, don't forget to vote for the character, vehicle, and track that you want excluded from the fifth GP! If you don't choose anything then it won't be an interesting GP!
Here's what has been vetoed so far: Characters: Funky Kong, Daisy, Baby Daisy Vehicles: Bullet Bike, Mach Bike, Magikruser Track: Rainbow Road, DS Yoshi Fails, N64 Sherbet Land
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Dasmos on October 07, 2009, 02:20:47 AM
Yeah the Saturday one might be a little hard for me to get behind, especially seeing as I have work at 9.
Also who the hell voted out Rainbow Road? What a knob.
Also my character I vote for is Birdo (oh no he di'nt!), track is Mario Circuit (useless fucking track) and kart/bike Dolphin Dasher.

Was this there originally or did you add it yesterday? I ain't doing any of that. I race random every time.

Yes, the entirety of the GP listing was there when I created this topic. I'm guessing you didn't read the opening post? Why don't you want to follow the theme? I'm tired of playing where anything goes which is why I created these themed GPs, I think they would make things more interesting and fun. I can live with you selecting Random if you simply must, but will you at least use the proper characters and vehicles? Because if you don't, it would be unfair.
Did everyone else read the opening post, and will you all follow the themes?

Also, I need friend code confirmation for some of you. Are these your codes?
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Dasmos on October 07, 2009, 09:42:47 PM
okay i wanted to ask this for a while, what they hell is "bummers"?
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 07, 2009, 11:29:46 PM
Ha ha, yeah, a lot of people ask me about that. "Bummers" is a nickname that my older brother gave to me back in the day when we were playing Mario Party 3. Whenever something bad happened to me I would say "bummer" instead of swearing or something, so one day he decided "I'm going to start calling you Bummers". Seemed perfect for Mario Kart, wouldn't you say?
Also my character I vote for is Birdo (oh no he di'nt!),
It's alright, I kind of knew somebody would do that, so it might as well be you.

What time are things kicking off tonight? I'll be available between approximately 8:00 Eastern to 10:30 Eastern.

Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 08, 2009, 06:50:56 PM
I will open a room at 8:45PM Eastern and will start at 9:00 or 9:05. I won't be watching the room however, as I'll be at my computer checking to make sure everyone sees that it is open. Once the races start, I will not be at my computer because it is in a different room, so I can't check anything on the Internet. You can still join if you are late, I'll show a track reminder before we start each GP so you'll know which one we are on. I hope to see you all there!
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: ThomasO on October 08, 2009, 06:55:20 PM
I'll join in tonight.
The only course I'd ask be vetoed for GP 5 is GCN DK Mountain.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 08, 2009, 07:02:23 PM
Alright, wonderful! If all goes well then we'll have 11 people tonight, just one under capacity.
Are you sure you don't want to veto one character and vehicle as well for GP 5?
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: GK on October 08, 2009, 07:05:35 PM
Groovy, I'll be there. Not sure I'll be able to record anything though. Think my last VHS cassette died.

Is there going to be a voice chat between players via Skype or something? If not, it's all right. I'll record the event with my laptop camera if possible.
I can't think of any characters/vehicles I'd want to veto. Only the three characters listed are the only ones who are a bit irritating.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 08, 2009, 07:17:54 PM
I can't participate in any kind of chat since my computer is in another room, but maybe you could organize something with the other players.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: vudu on October 08, 2009, 07:26:06 PM
I'll be there!
Let's just hang out in NWR's chat room (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/chat.cfm).

Alright, well, it is looking like Dasmos and Vudu aren't going to vote in GP 5: The Veto Cup, so here is likely the final veto list:
EDIT: Wait, Dasmos voted. CrashMan didn't. My bad.
Characters: Funky Kong, Donkey Kong, King Boo, Rosalina, Birdo, Daisy, Baby Daisy Vehicles: Bullet Bike, Mach Bike, Bowser Bike, Standard Bike Large, Magikruser, Dolphin Dasher, Flame Flyer Track: Luigi Circuit, Mario Circuit, Rainbow Road, DS Yoshi Fails, N64 Sherbet Land, GCN Waluigi Staduim, N64 DK's Jungle Parkway, GCN DK Mountain

Vudu - 2535-5752-8263
Yes, this is my code. Please note that I had to replace my Wii at the beginning of the year, so if I karted with you last year I may have a different code.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 08, 2009, 07:46:22 PM
I was not really a member here last year. That code was pulled from the Official Wi-Fi Night: Mario Kart Wii thread from back in March of this year, so it should be right, then.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: vudu on October 08, 2009, 07:57:44 PM
Yeah, I meant that for everyone else. Then I noticed since you're the host there's not really much need to enter any other friend codes. So it's a moot point.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: BeautifulShy on October 08, 2009, 08:12:54 PM
Got everything written down.
Title: Re: Unofficial Wi-Fi Night - Mario Kart Wii Autumn Tour
Post by: Mop it up on October 08, 2009, 08:43:32 PM
Alright, the room is open. Remember, I am NOT watching it right now, so if you try to tell me something then I won't see it.
If you have a problem joining me then quickly post here. If you don't see my room on your friend list then I'll check to see if I added your code correctly.

That was a pretty fun night. I'm not gonna lie, I was disappointed by the turnout, but it still went well.
And yeah, you're a pretty evil player Vudu. But I think that was my banana you were talking about, if you meant on Waluigi Stadium or Maple Treeway. :P
