Title: Site issues and suggestions Post by In hiding on 03/06/06 at 04:50:39 Can everyone who has a full set of times please submit them to the yahoo groups email. This does not mean start to submit prs. (not just yet please) |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 03/06/06 at 05:29:24 Before people do, I suggest we use this topic to inform everyone what's considered SC and what's not. (SG, BC3, BP, etc.) Andreas |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/06/06 at 07:14:28 Shrooming off zippers is ok Shrooming off zippers in the wrong direction (to save time) is not ok Anything involving Lakitu is a SC Anything cutting water is not SC because most of them would require lakitu. Tricking off anything is forbidden. Watersliding is allowed (i.e jumping into slide in water). The site is being aimed at purifying the game as much as possible so that driving can be rewarded as much as possible. For that reason, BC3 should be an SC - you cannot do that cut, and the RiRd is also now an SC. Simply put again - if the track is there, use it. If you think your trying to shroom somewhere to cut track - its probably illegal. Anymore cases please raise now. I will be at home tonight doing washing as i've not been home for about three days. I'll have my GB so will be able to address questions etc. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Vincent_Zee on 03/06/06 at 07:35:09 I have a full set, but only known as sc or not, not separate full charts yet, so I have to work on them first I guess? |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/06/06 at 09:01:25 Yep, what i am requesting is a full set of non-sc times from as many players who can provide this as possible. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 03/06/06 at 13:50:28 Shrooming a bumper to cut over a barrier is illegal, that's what you're saying? Your post was not as clear on this as I had hoped it would be, so I'm trying to make sure I understand it. If purifying the game means something as simple and dead-obvious RiRo and DP3 are SC, I feel these rules are bending the conventional more than say the backwards shrooming in BP for instance. I'd understand if shrooming bumpers in YD is considered SC, but RiRo and DP3 (as well as LP) are so dead-obvious it would feel nonsensical not to use them. So anything that involves cutting even through open air (such as RaRo) isn't considered Non-SC, because it's not adhering to road and therefor not quintessential, purified driving? This has actually become a fairly valid question in the context. And it feels a little silly to me that it has. My Non-SC F-lap strat for BP involves the little island platform. Is that still allowed, since you land past a barrier when you use it? Ca you use any sequence-breaking bumper cuts on BP and still be in the clear? That's a bit of silly question too, but one that remains valid with the disallowance of RiRo. Andreas |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/06/06 at 14:59:44 Its a fair post!! YD.. ok.. there is a bumper/bouncer there for a reason - that is allowed. And I think alot of people would argue the one in RiRd is too. I think using a shroom there to cut some of the corner - or using it to cut a substantial corner is pretty telling. BP island flap.. show me a vid and i'll make the call. There maybe differences of opinion but i hope for the sake of the site in the making everyone can adhere to set rules for the point of good competition which will ultimately be based more on tight driving than hitting zippers and bouncing around tracks. EDIT: To answer your question - there will be some situations where you can jump a bumper - and some you can't. But generally speaking when looking at the track, the answer is no - do not jump a barrier. I think its pretty straight forward except for courses like riRd. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Vincent_Zee on 03/07/06 at 04:26:04 So RiRo jump to the right isn't allowed :-? What about the Cheese land jump? Also not allowed? |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 03/07/06 at 05:04:12 I thought that one would be allowed to be honest, there does seem to be a deliberate section of bouncyness... I might not be thinking of the right place though... |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/07/06 at 05:38:34 Ill review that tonight.. I purposely didn't say jumping over walls isn't allowed as I know that things such as CL and YD are clearly there to be used. I'm fine to allow those, I just dont want to end up with a situation where we keep making the tracks shorter and shorter by allowing different cuts. I think with the way the game is at the moment there maybe no actual final complete consistency in the rules. In the same way in MKDS they're allowing PRB on a selection of courses where its natural etc. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Super_Luigi_64 on 03/07/06 at 12:33:33 How aboutsomeone make a list of all the tracks with sc and say if it allowed. btw can you jump over blocks in water like in riverside park? i am pretty sure they never wanted you to jump over a block in that way when making the game. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/08/06 at 02:08:22 Sure, i'll do this by the end of the week. If anyone wants to start it on this thread then go for it! |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 03/08/06 at 06:54:27 I think you would be the best person to do that. You could easily edit it then if ideas change. Personally I don't think it matters a great deal what gets picked, as long as something does and we all stick to it. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/09/06 at 01:27:40 That is precisely my sentiment. I shall aim to do it tonight but I do have another engagement. |

Well on Riverside Park I guess they did want you to jump over the water, as two bridges face each other, but it's hard not to jump over blocks there, what about that one? |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 03/09/06 at 07:27:31 Since you can jump across by bouncing on the water it seems like it would be allowed, but then again, I wouldn't know. By this definition the 180-degree turn in KB1 would also be Non-SC. If a decision is made to make it SC it would be due to more of a "just because" reasoning than that the blocks are there, since you can still do it, and the blocks are simply there to make it harder. (If they didn't want us to attempt it, they could've just put a barrier there. It would still be possible with a barrier, that's true for a lot of places where barriers are, but you get the idea.) Andreas |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/09/06 at 07:38:56 I'll take it case by case.. i fear about allowing it because then what will happen with KB1.. I dont want hopping over blocks if possible because that again moves away from pure driving lines and not how well you can time your shroom slide etc. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Super_Luigi_64 on 03/09/06 at 15:55:32 Well on Riverside Park I guess they did want you to jump over the water, as two bridges face each other, but it's hard not to jump over blocks there, what about that one? not that one. of course that is aloud. i was talking about the other one. the one that leads to the bridge just before the circle part at the end. where you jump over the line of blocks that a SUPPOSE to block that part. watch an old vid and you will see what i am talking about |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 03/09/06 at 16:00:48 In an ideal world it should be allowed, but there is no way to distinguish between jumping through the gap, and jumping over the wall. Personally I am suprised Nintendo didn't notice this when they were testing it out. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/13/06 at 01:34:52 Rules per course are almost finished, will hopefully be posted tonight. *basically want to run them by a few people first.. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/13/06 at 08:59:28 MKSC Track Rules: Mushroom Cup Peach Circuit - normal driving - no tricking Riverside Park - No driving between the bricks with shrooms but you can shroom over the water where the gap in the water is just after. Shy Guy Beach - normal driving, water slides allowed, shroom slides allowed, no lakitu. Bowser Castle 1 - normal driving, no tricking Flower Cup Mario Circuit - normal driving, no tricking Boo Lake - normal driving, driving on invisible bar is allowed, no lakitu sc's or tricking. Bouncing from wooden slats to others is allowed. Cheese Island - normal driving - no tricking or hitting animals or bouncing from one bouncer to another cutting lots of track. Bowser Castle 2 - normal driving - no tricking Lightning Cup Luigi Circuit - normal driving, no tricking and you can go through the gap in the wall. Sky Garden - normal driving, can shroom anywhere you like (with or without zippers) just do not use lakitu. Cheep Cheep Island - normal driving, water slides allowed, no tricking but can use shrooms for the big jumps etc Sunset Wilds - normal driving, no tricking Star Cup Snow Land - normal driving, no tricking, shroom slides etc all allowed Ribbon Road - normal driving, you are not allowed to jump to the left or right of the jumps with shrooms Yoshi Desert - yes you can use the bumper by the quicksand to make the jump (doesn't cut much track anyway) Bowser Castle 3 - no taking the short cut or tricking. Special Cup Lakeside Park - Just normal driving, no tricking, or mulitple bouncing to cut lots of track etc Broken Pier - no driving backwards, normal driving - can use invisible platform, no tricking or lakitu. Bowser Castle 4 - no tricking just normal driving Rainbow Road - you can bounce all you like but not use lakitu to gain an advantage. SNES tracks to follow later |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 03/13/06 at 12:52:44 On Sky Garden, is it possible to jump far to the left off the first jump thing and land without falling? I thought it was, so is this allowed? |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/13/06 at 14:54:40 if it is possible then no.. no large cutting sc's will be allowed. the premise it to show off racing ability not shrooming precision. a vid would be helpful for this for me to judge, but generally, nothing massive will be allowed.. thats because this will be aimed to showcase driving not the quickest routes to the finish line (current wr's) |

wait. 1) i am still confused about the riverside stuff. 2) on lakkeside there is a bumper the programers put in the game to bounce for a shortcut i consider the jump over the line of blocks a sc on riverside. the skygarden bumper technique should be a sc ( i think you said so) yoshi desert is near the water that you are talking about. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 03/14/06 at 00:08:21 There are 3 things that stand out to me that I will find it difficult to agree with, all of fairly similar nature. CL - Not being able to use the bumper platform to the right of the jump. RiRo - Not being able to use the right-hand lane after the jump. LP - Not being able to use the bumper plate after the jump. All of these are conspicuously intentional and add to the variety of the course. They're so intentional I actually feel that if we can't use these with a clear conscience, we shouldn't boost over grass like it's the most natural thing to do either. I'm no MK:SC track editor, but these are there as a convenient conventional methods of skipping track. Aforementioned tracks lose some of their uniqueness in our attempt of making it "purely about racing" (Why does that consistently have to be about driving on the road. Can't it also be about making clever use of what's there as part of the (broken record alert) conventional driving? I'd understand if we're taking a "moral hardline" so to speak against ways of breaking the game, and making it shorter, but do we really have go to these lengths to do it? (I mean, I'd understand banning all forms of lakitu skips unaided wallskips and tricking since those don't utilise a lot of the driving we call the quintessence of kart, but banning certain routes and enhancements because you travel too far in the air? Is it allowed on RaRo because it's so consistently occuring? Or because it's so difficult that anyone mustering it deserves the benefit it gives? (By this logic, the SG jump would be allowed, so this might not be it, but it's a fair question.) Removing it in CL takes away what's really the only element of difficulty in the track. This one boggles me the most. Are we allowed to cut over the wall to the right of the first jump but not allowed to land on the platform to extend the jump because it cuts too much of the straight? Are we not allowed to skip the wall at all? Removing it in RiRo breaks the flow and makes me feel stupid for not using such an obviously advantageous route that takes so little effort. (I'm guessing the latter is the reason behind banning it.) It's so intentional and widely used that to me it feels like banning the bumper skip in CCI. Removing it in LP means ignoring the obvious and intentional for an almost stupidly conservative approach. The built in booster before the jump is there for the sole purpose of helping you make the jump to the plate with the conventional driving. People who have not played this game are going to watch ghosts of me using these paths and conclude I'm stupid. *starts crying* ;) Thank You for taking your time with the Non-SC rules. Andreas |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/14/06 at 01:34:08 Fair points. To a point though you answer your own questions. You say you want to use the multiple bumper technique because a) its easy b) its so obviously programmed c) because your worried about what people would say seeing your videos. The bouncing we are referring to are as a result of zippers or shrooms. This is why I am inclined to not allow this and to allow the MC2 retro track bounce (because it doesn't need a shroom). I do not feel amazingly strongly about not allowing those techniques to be used, but it does detract from proving to people your a better driver by taking a corner tighter. I wouldn't worry about people thinking your stupid for not taking obvious cuts when clearly there are more sophisticated cuts for the WR's. I still think that the RiRd cuts off too much time though if we allow it. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 03/14/06 at 02:39:10 Tom, you're putting too strong of an emphasis on my joke that I fear looking stupid. I put it in just because it seemed to lighten the mood of my post a bit, and because it illustrates how easy these paths are to spot. The RiRo can be done without the zipper before the jump with a blue boost, but if the consensus is that it cuts off to much track, it becomes a moot point. I can understand it when it's decided on the grounds that it cuts off too much track. CL I still don't understand, since it would only cut over a straight with added speed in a straight line without skipping walls, etc. It a bit strange from a banning point of view that we can skip the wall but not use the means to go forward easier and faster doing so. (I know you cut out the corner otherwise needed to go around the plate, but it's honestly the exact same type of corner and situation as in MC2.) Edit: You don't need to use even a blue boost here to reach the platform on the side. Just use enough of the boost strip prior to hitting the jump and you might even overcut it altogether. That wouldn't be allowed either, I suppose, since it's a similar cut, just not as far. (?) LP - I don't really mind this being ruled out, but there is a zipper there to help you get to the plate. If this is also based on cutting too much, I'll accept that too. (Even though the fastest Non-SC strategy for CCI cuts a good bit more off. Whether it's with the aid of a plate shouldn't matter, since it still favours shroom precision over driving, but I'm all for a skipping-over-open-water-is-OK consistency.) It's going to feel weird for me to aim for the zipper and veer left, but that's really all that will change. Thanks for clearing things up. Andreas |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/14/06 at 03:19:52 Didn't mean to come across as making you feel stupid - honestly, i think its just that typing doesn't convey tone very well. I think as a compromise I should allow the CCI on the basis it cuts a straight and not chunks of track. I'm NOT looking forwards to addressing courses like KB1 when trying to make rules to make people drive and not just shroom slide over the the whole track. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 03/14/06 at 10:33:01 IMO any rule set is good, when it is clear and it does not confuse people. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by mike89 on 03/14/06 at 19:34:12 I can't see why anything not intentionally put in the course wouldn't be allowed. There's two problems associated with it: 1. you're limiting the driving capabilities of the top players, 2. some idiot(s) is going to post a time using those methods and you'll end up backflipping on your rules anyway. For this reason, CL, RiR and LP should all have their respective cuts allowed. (Particularly LP, it's staring you in the face... and with RaR allowed it's not exactly consistent.) |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/15/06 at 01:04:41 Termo, could you please post vids of the three courses and the areas of discussion, then i'll do a poll. Thanks in advance |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 03/15/06 at 01:51:42 Just a couple more points. I think you should add to the info about CCI and SGB something like "No using the lap trick" or something. You can actually complete 1 quick lap before using lakitu, so this should clear that up. Also on LP is bouncing across the lake allowed? It doesn't use Lakitu or anything, and if done right doesn't even involve falling in the water. I think when these rules go on the site they will need a lot more detail and explanations so they aren't confusing. |

I'm sorry, i dont known very well the tracks you are discussing :-[ Maybe someone can use the circuit maps in order to show the allowed paths: http://www.vgmaps.com/Atlas/GBA/index.htm#MarioKartSuperCircuit (for example allowed paths can be drawn by green lines and the forbidden one by red lines) BTW I suggest some basic statements, beside the rules for each single circuit: -No Lakitu help is allowed: if you drop somewhere, you have to replay your race. -No lap skip is allowed: you have to run all the circuit without mayor cuts. -No Tree/Wall/Other ticking is allowed. more thoughts: -How about SSMT? It seems that no one now is able to do it, but if so? -Which hardware is allowed? IMO GBA, GBASP, GBAMICRO, NDS and GBA player (on GC) have to be allowed (i have a Gba player but i play better on original SP) Forbid unofficial emulators (the only one official for now is the GBA player). |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 03/15/06 at 02:46:35 The GBA player should not be considered an emulator but rather a converter. You would still be using the actual cartridge to play, as well as controlling it with the GBA. As long as it doesn't affect the playing speed or gameplay otherwise, it should be allowed. Think of it like the Super Game Boy device that was released for the SNES. Andreas |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/15/06 at 04:38:44 As above, all formats DS/DSlite/GBA/GBASP/Micro/GBA Player will all be allowed Emulators will not. SSMT'ing - if it can be down it will be allowed in the same way that long boosting is being allowed as per smk. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 03/23/06 at 02:41:11 SNES track rules will be finished by this evening - FACT. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 04/03/06 at 13:41:00 I suggest to add MKSC logo and link to the head of the players' page site, between the MK64 one and then MKDD one! |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 04/03/06 at 16:55:19 Can I just ask, are the rules for the SNES tracks up yet, and are any of the rules available on the site? Also I still am not sure about the rules for cheese land. Am I allowed to jump to the right on the first jump, and then land on the bouncy square? If not, I really don't see why, because it seems a very natural thing to do. I can't believe that they would have put that area of bounciness there for no reason. The reason I ask is because the fastest lap on the site at the moment is quite a lot quicker than I can do without it, but slower than I can manage with it. I have sent in just my PC times at the moment, but I will keep submitting more and more as I get them. As I said I am using my brother's cartridge (now empty ;)) and will need to unlock the extra tracks. If these cheese land method is definately not allowed, is there a way to just delete that time on my game? |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 04/04/06 at 03:38:45 I don't know if you already have a set of rules or not yet, but I have written my take on them here. Feel free to ignore or use them as you wish, but I have tried to make them as clear and as consistant as possible. I haven't compared them to what you have already done, but if there is any decision could go either way perhaps we could just make a poll for and just go with the most popular. As I said before, the exact rules don't matter but it is important to get something up (and preferably on a page on the site) as quickly as possible. Quote:
edit : Oh, and one more thing. do I qualify for a trusted user tick? I consider myself to be somewhat of a veteran at MKSC, and I am a moderator on CS. ;) |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 04/04/06 at 04:16:05 You did a great work, Mark :) Your rule set is enough clear and it's good for me. Let's wait for other people opinion then we can copy it in "joining info" section. Maybe we can change the general rules: Rules for all tracks : No tricking (the real name is 'ticking' AFAIK, because, when you hit the wall/tree you can hear 'tick'). No bouncing onto water and then over a barrier. No lakitu help. No lap skip. The single track rules will be shorter and easier to read. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 04/04/06 at 04:19:46 I agree with these rules, i'd worded it all the same other than KB1 - where its a case of saying "no piss taking".. I'll post the complete set of rules up today on the mainpage. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 04/04/06 at 04:31:06 :D Thanks. I've edited my post with some of the corrections, but I think I will leave the exact wording of KB1 for someone else to sort out. I almost did write Ticking, but I couldn't remember for sure what it was called, and I noticed that it had been called Tricking in this topic to that's what I went with. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 04/04/06 at 08:06:37 The site has been updated and also you can note that the rules are now under TRACK RULES - link on the left hand bar for those who forget or are new in a few months and the post isn't on the main page anymore. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by TheBrain on 04/04/06 at 08:30:30 Nice. Spotted a few mistakes though. One is my fault, the other isn't. ;) I have bolded what it should be changed to. Retro Mario Circuit 3 You may shroom through the hole in the wall. Riverside Park No shrooming between the bricks, but you can use the thin bridge just after the jump. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Etch-A-Sketch on 04/04/06 at 20:16:19 Now that the site is up and finally has times, when should I expect my profile to appear? I mailed in all of my times yesterday and I do realize that it wont appear instantly. I know that updating issues etc. are still being worked out but I am just curious to when I can expect regular updates to occur like every 2 or 3 days because I will then send in more times.

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Etch-A-Sketch on 04/11/06 at 22:24:03 I submitted some times recently an was wondering why it never showed up on the yahoo groups, did you not approve of my times or have you not gotten to them yet. I think I sent a batch before the last update and did not see them. Do I need videos of my times to see them appear on the site because already posted one under the videos thread recently. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 04/12/06 at 01:41:08 I approve within about 36hrs. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Etch-A-Sketch on 04/13/06 at 15:33:27 I made 2 replay videos so far on mksc and I was wondering where I should post the video links if I want them to be considered for proof. thanks |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 04/14/06 at 03:20:32 on this forum is fine. I'll create a new video thread if theres not one already |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Etch-A-Sketch on 04/16/06 at 10:03:06 For the Broken Pier flap, the WR is 12'63??? by Pierre. Did he mean 21'63 because it could just be a typo or something, lol. I had the old WR of 21'53 and was just wondering if a time of 12'xx is actually possible there, lol. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Nat-Hans Moleman on 04/16/06 at 10:13:29 i think he made a video to ask if it was legal.... i guess it is.. his 3lap is 20s ahead too |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 04/16/06 at 11:14:02 I think Pierre is using the old conventional 3-lap strategy, which is now considered SC, but I'm not sure. (I think he uses the bumper that takes you to the "platform island", but goes farther to the right, which is considered backwards, as far as I know.) In any case, there aren't really strats to go as fast without using routes that are no longer considered Non-SC, so it's a valid question. Thomas Miffin's DP3 F-lap is SC, at any rate. Andreas |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Chewbackartseven on 04/17/06 at 04:37:10 http://kartseven.free.fr/special/BP_1.WMV So if it's SC, don't worry, I already drove non-SC times (something like 1'06"xx if I remember). Retro DP3 flap, and also BC3, are SC. :-/ |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 04/17/06 at 05:56:50 Yes, this is what I thought you did. As far as I know, this is considered SC under the current ruling. Andreas |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Chewbackartseven on 04/18/06 at 00:27:29 OK, now look at the last shroom in this vid (http://kartseven.free.fr/special/BP_2.WMV). Is this one non-SC ? I started to use this shroomspot for a 3-laps attempt... |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 04/18/06 at 00:48:49 That should be Non-SC. Shrooming straight at the bumper where you use your second shroom (The same spot you previously used for 3-laps.) and landing on the little "platform island" is considered Non-SC. Andreas |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Ostro on 05/03/06 at 08:21:08 I could translate that Join Info page for you (german) EDIT: May I have a tick for proof? :P I should be at least trusted I think and I can make some load of videos if you want! |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by David_Schiering on 05/30/06 at 13:18:28 hello can anyone make a top 100 list in AF ? http://www.mariokart64.com/mksc/af.php only top 20 is to konfus and can we have a WR History? sorry for my bad english :-[ |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Mark Turner on 05/31/06 at 00:33:10 If you tick the box next to "Include scores that fall outside the overall top 20" and then press OK, you can see all of the AF. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Dave Smith on 05/31/06 at 09:21:41 Hey Guys! With me being new to the site I am not sure about everything yet so i had a couple questions. When are the updates usually done? I noticed that there were no standards on the site. Will there be standards? Thanks |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 05/31/06 at 13:27:24 updates are done once or more a week dependent on outside issues :) otherwise ok.. standards will be introduced but in the grand scheme of things (having been a part of 4/5 kart sites and comps) we're still in the early stages of times and what should be deemed standards etc... |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by su11y on 06/03/06 at 21:08:58 Just letting u guys know the vids and strats links are broken. I'd say throw up an empty page just to make it go somewhere. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by MetalSmasher86 on 06/03/06 at 21:40:44 Or an even better idea, how about putting up links to video pages from those of us who have them (Pierre, Luca, David, me, etc.) into the vids section? |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by AlexPenev on 06/06/06 at 01:28:43 I can do that. Wanna gather me up a list of links to people's videos (or video sites)? Edit: I put the quote back in Pierre's name (L'Hoest). Tell me if that causes any problems. |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 06/06/06 at 03:59:03 Su's videos on Youtube are here: http://www.youtube.com/profile_videos?user=MKSC About my vids, i've only two NSC vids in my HP, but much more are uploaded and hotlinked, so i will make a simple index page soon. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by In hiding on 06/06/06 at 06:43:16 can we also add the information from http://www.gamefaqs.com/portable/gbadvance/code/371318.html to the FAQ - exp how to unlock the retro tracks! |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by A Runnelid on 06/09/06 at 04:19:22 List of tracks that have some of form of SC. (Finish line trick, abusive cuts or otherwise. There are several for some of them.) I'm just putting this here, in case it helps for later on, or new players would like to know. MK:SC SGB RP BL CL SG CCI YD RiRo BC3 LP BP Extra DP1 MC2 CI1 DP2 KB1 CI2 MC4 (Yes, here too.) DP3 KB2 GV3 VL2 RR Missed anything? Andreas |

Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Astr0 on 06/10/06 at 22:09:39 The site hasn't been updated for like a month, are the WR's getting to hard already? |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 06/11/06 at 00:21:17 I update the charts at least 2 times per week (usually 3/4). As for WRs, most people is trying to play the weaker tracks. Only few of the old players are active, but new players are getting very good times and soon they could get some WRs |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Etch-A-Sketch on 07/05/06 at 18:54:43 How can we get more people added to the site. Maybe if we can get MKSC added to the Combined Kart Ranks we can get more people to start playing this game or at least expose more people to the fact a Time Trials site for this game is there. Tom or Luca probably have the power to make things like this happen so I am just curious what you guys think about this. |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 07/05/06 at 23:57:47 The only thing we can do is gently spam the boards where we are known. I did that in gamefaqs MKSC board and in some italian forums. Another idea (if you wrote some posts in other forums) could be to change our sign. Just did it here, i will do in other forums :) |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by Coen Hartendorp on 07/06/06 at 00:56:21 I might be able to help at this point as well...will try to get some more people! Some other suggestions...more at the statistics side: why cant we make a statistic on the total of the different sufaces of tracks; example: Alle the bowser tracks are the same type....count up all those times and you have a person who is 'best in Bowser tracks' You can also do it with the Ghost Valley tracks(incl. Boo lake and Broken Pier) and for example with the asphalt tracks like mario circuit's, peach and luigi circuit! Mayby someone understands.... :D |
|
Title: Re: New site suggestions and information Post by termoPilucco on 07/06/06 at 01:23:04 Yes, that might helps because one of the problem of MKSC is that the challenges are too much :P |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 08/15/06 at 06:38:12 Lol, i did not know how AF button works. Now i imagine i have to reset AF just before updating (or maybe once per week, before updating). If so, i'll do next time... |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Coen Hartendorp on 09/04/06 at 08:57:00 I've mensioned it in a other topic before...but can do it here again... A nice motto: The more statistics the better So let's start some rankings by combining some track-times on the type of survice, example: Circuit tracks: Peach Circuit + Mario Circuit + Luigi Circuit + Retro Mario Circuit 1/2/3/4 Snow tracks: Snow Land + Retro Vanilla Lake 1 + 2 Ghost tracks: Boo Lake + Broken Pier + Retro Ghost Valley 1/2/3 Castel tracks: Bowser Castle 1/2/3/4 + Retro Bowser Castle 1/2/3 etc.... This way you'll get statistics where you can see which players drive good on which surfaces!! an idea???? |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by ZTI on 11/01/06 at 08:37:30 Hi, I just sent first times to the yahoogroups for the site, I only sent 20 PRs (the 20 retro 5laps times) and i dont think i will send other prs than these ones, i think i will only work those 20 PRs. I sent a Snow Land 5lap time but please dont update it , its no use. Anyway If it's necessary i ll send a full list of 80 PRs :P , then i can send crapy times at first. Just tell me . But if possible id prefer only have those 20 retro 5lap prs updated on the site. I dont think i need proof, i am known in the smk community and also a few players here know me. But i have crapy videos for you : just new PRs i just made (i will send the PRs to yahoogroup too) check mksc videos thread ;) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by In Hiding on 11/02/06 at 08:31:05 Seb, can you do 1-tries on the other tracks then please? That way i can rank you on the av fin etc |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by ZTI on 11/02/06 at 10:18:54 mmmmmm ::) ::) ::) ok chief!! 8-) you will regret your demand, cos some players will lose ranks... ::) 8-) I will try to do it this week end , just tell me until when i can send times so that they get counted in the update ! ;) |

Thanks a lot luca , tom and all the managers of the site ;) :) btw what is the best way of writing new prs posts to yahoogroup , so that you can update it more easily and more fastly? ;) you also forgot a few PRs : RBC2 flap 16"25 RMC3 flap 13"59 RVL1 flap 7"40 RBC3 flap 14"60 RMC4 flap 15"94 RKB2 flap 8"01 RVL2 flap 7"40 RRR flap 13"47 next time i ll only send one message per week to make your life easier ::) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by ZTI on 11/05/06 at 11:21:23 hey thank you for the check&fix stuff you really need the name ? cos with my email displayed with each one of my posts on yahoogroups, you can easily know who i am .

This is a recommendation for everyone. Even though the system is automatised as much as possible, people (Luca and Tom) have to proof-read every message to make sure there aren't obvious mistakes. Sending a new message for every PR will increase the workload for everyone. At least wait a few hours, especially if you are coming back to play or continue playing throughout the day. One message per day or every two days should be enough, I think. At least keep it at two per day, I suggest. Setting new records is of course exciting, but very common, especially if you are a new player. When you are PRing at a high rate, please send several PRs in one batch. Also remember to use proper formatting and include your name, as per the outlined instructions. Many people still don't take the time to write proper course names. I myself choose to receive copies of the messages per e-mail, and that's my decision, so I'll suffer the consequences, but it's a little tedious to get a new message for every PR. Andreas |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by ZTI on 11/11/06 at 02:22:36 omg i sent 3 messages this week!! :o :o :o This is way much!!!!! (3rd one is not moderated yet) I am very very very confused ::) but yeh special apologies for sending the same SGB prs in my 2nd and 3rd messages cos i didnt saw that my 2nd message got through the moderation and I thought it was deleted by error, so i sent them again in my 3rd message (with 4 more prs of course ;)) and yeh i just saw that i forgot to write my full name in the 2nd message , sorry again, anyway this 2nd message is no use cos i sent the prs back in the 3rd message And maybe the fact i send them again can help with my 5lap not updated on the site ::) , (flap was updated but not 5lap). because my 2nd message was moderated before my 1st message , this is a true problem with yahoogroups , we always have to be careful when moderating messages that we moderate them in date order and its hard to remember to do that each time, i know that because i moderate the smk one , so yeh only one message per week would be better for a better working of the updating work So to prevent errors , spam , and misses, like that , i will not send my new prs until i get a full decent list , so that means.....mmmm.... in a few weeks ps : the date /hour displayed on the yahoogroups messages lists are the moderated ones. The real sending date/hour of the messages is displayed within the page of the message itself but this is for the viewers , the moderators can see the sending date/hour in the pending page, of course we dont always remember of approving them in date/hour order each time. Anyway i seem it strange that an updator dont realize that kind of problem (messages not approved in date/hour order) and still seem to continue updating in receiving order of the messages , that mean my first message with 51"68 SGB , then my second message (send before but approved after , so updator receive it after , so not in sending date/hour order) i send 54"18 (time done before the 51"68 you understand ok?), but updator erase the 51"68 of his memory and update the 54"18 crap one. ;D I know sami do much efforts for the smk one and he is alone to do the work and he has to deal with the sames problems , sometimes of courses there is still errors (well sami is not really superman), but not that much (actually sami is almost superman) ::) so like i said previously , better is one message per week , or maybe more work or more attention from the updators/moderators ::) and of course rene spam , but other ppl also spam, i wont tell names (tom gaffikin, kevin black, ben allen, david shiering, etc list is big if we check for 2 submissions per day happening (sending date), for not sending the full name etc etc .. ::)); some of the ppl i mention here are also moderator of updators ::), mm not giving the good example :-X i admit mark is giving good example anyway, so you have the right to be unhappy when other ppl dont make efforts ;) and as far as i am concerned , i try to maximize my pr before sending it (and not sending it each time i improve, if so i would send dozens messages per week), other than that i reckon i use to send messages track by track , but most of all this is one track per day maximum, so one message per day maximum and sometimes i group prs together, and send only 2 messages per week or something. I admit last week end i spammed , but most of my messages i sent dozens of prs each time. (that was because i joined the site) but like i said now i will send one message per 20 or 40 prs (so that mean maybe one message per month or per 2 weeks) well this is till i begin to have more difficulties to improve of course |

Seb, you're reading too much hostility into my message. I was not being rude, and don't deserve this kind of sarcasm. You are also, really unfairly, criticising moderators by implying they don't work hard enough to take care of messages/or give the activity enough attention. Keep in mind that nobody is receiving any financial compensation for the work that they do within the kart community. They do it for their own and our enjoyment, sacrificing some of their time so that we all have a nice site running. If anything, they deserve respect for that, even if they are more than person, or don't measure up against your merits of being "Superman". I don't mean for this to sound offensive, but you're not getting any bonus points for sending the correct time. It should be a given. The bottom line is that instead of thinking something like: "Why do I have to write my name everytime, you know it's me?", think: They're in charge of running a site I enjoy competing on. Maybe I can help them, or try not to complicate their work too much." These are just examples of helpful thinking, and are not a reflection on past situations. I know you understand the concept, since you volunteered to be a moderator. We're all friends here. :) Andreas |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by ZTI on 11/11/06 at 05:04:54 sorry andreas forget it all * you are right we are friends ;) no need for complains and debates , just try to improve the things here , i ll post one message per week or per 20 prs only, and improving of submitting explanation should also be made by the moderators/updators/webmasters maybe, they dont really complain actually, and mark complained cos he si doing his job well, but i think its needed and would make the things very more enjoyable (than its already) for them ;) *well no dont forget all : the yahoogroups moderation is a problem : moderators have to be careful when they approve the pending messages that they approve them in submitting date order (to help further the updators not to deal with problems cos the submissions are disordered), anyway i am not very sure if even if we approve by date order, if yahoo display them by date order further..yahoo is not very perfect for accurate and efficient submissions & updates working procedure i guess its all , but forget all the rest we are dealing with misunderstanding and unimportant things which only waste our time and our energy |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by AlexPenev on 01/27/07 at 04:57:58 I modified the WR page to count tied WRs. This is actually more annoying than I wanted it to be, since it involves completely changing how the wrs are retrieved from the db (and modifying the profile.php, stats.php and wrs.php pages, since they rely on looking at the WRs), but I think I got it to work. I was going to ignore the problem and eventually (when the MKSC site got bigger) just replace all its outdatedly-coded files and db schema with the spiffy SMK ones, but until then, I've temporarily solved this issue. I think. Please check if the WR pages make sense. From the looks of it, there are 2 overall WRs that are tied (both laps), so there should be 82 people with records in the WR page. If you choose a USA country filter, there's 2 ties as well, so 82 names in the records page there. If I screwed something up, drop me a PM :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Sami - Godfather of SMK on 01/27/07 at 17:22:22 Yeh this is much better, we had that issue on SMK with tied WRs on RR. GV2 lap also had a 3 way tie, will happen as next level players reach nearer limits, particularly on flaps and stuff. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 01/28/07 at 13:07:41 If my own results are any indication, there will be multiple ties for CI1 lap.

How busy are you because it takes 1-2 weeks to make an update on a time. 3. If there is only one person running the MKSC site, could I try? Just wondering. 4. IF you have good times, try to back it up with vids, please. Thanks. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 05/21/07 at 09:11:26 This is just my personal opinion, but I bet you'll read it now that you've come this far, so here goes.. 1. I would say that while this game is not in its competitive infancy, there is a lot to be done when it comes to experimenting and maxing out times. (Su's times, for instance, are an indication of this. His brilliance is not something we are all blessed with, myself being the most obvious of examples, but his progress goes to show that many records could still be improved by a substantial amount.) But, I do agree that standards need to materialise, and perhaps they are necessary to see the competition I mention above. A preliminary set wouldn't hurt, but I somehow get the feeling that the game and its potential needs to sink in for a bit longer for them to be meaningful/decently balanced as targets. Maybe it's just me. I'll never tap into the boundaries of the absolute potential anyway. 2. Personally, I'd like to write updates sometime mostly because I like to write, but I wouldn't have time to monitor the progress sufficiently well to write an informed update, as is deserved. I'm not very handy with HTML, so any work by me would be in the form of raw text for others to implement. I'm sure several others are better suited for the task, and would perhaps be willing to step up. 3. Thanks for offering. 4. I'd love to be able to back up some of my at-least-somewhat decent times with proof, just out of good faith and to set a good example, but I currently don't have the equipment for it. A majority of the best times are still captured and available for everyone to see. Most WRs will require some sort of proof, ideally recorded. Few top times will slip through, that's a given, if not a guarantee. Andreas |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by DBarnhart on 05/23/07 at 13:51:30 I'm so confused when it comes to the rules for this game sometimes, for example I noticed the rule for RDP3 is no shrooming on bumber to cut track, but yet someone found a way around it and simply got a small boost and hopped around the colored wall. Now I notice a lot of rules say dont cut a considerable amount off, but it seems like courses such as RKB1 can still be cut considerably. It just seems really awkward at times. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 05/23/07 at 15:07:04 In all fairness, the jump over "the coloured wall" you refer to isn't remotely as abusive as some of the other approaches with a shroom on that bumper, so that is perhaps not a very good comparison, but illustrative of the whole situation. This game is too complex and full of possibilities to forbid anything on principle. If we did, then most everything - however obvious and en route - would be banned. This is why the shortcut limitations are specified for every course where they apply. I just wouldn't make sense otherwise. The rules may not be 100% consistent, but I feel they are circumstantially balanced and natural where in effect. (The previous ruling on the CI courses with regards to using bumpers was perhaps not. Similarly, some of situations in YD are potentially subjects for controversy.) I think the rules as they stand do well to allow paths that aren't as much SC and prohibit those that compromise a Non-SC style of play. And, I'll say this again, just for clarity. The rules have been unofficially revised by myself, but are pending verification and consequently implementation. Andreas |

|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 06/08/07 at 05:46:32 Fenner's SC is allowed: he jumps only the left wall, the same thing is usually done w/o shroom. The forbidden SC is jumping straight avoiding an huge part of the track. As for resetting times, you can reset all or none :-/ edit (resetting all times): On the title screen, hold L, R, Y, & A at the same time to reset the whole game. You can also reset each of the Time Trials individually. When on the Best 5 screen of any track, hold L, R, Y, & A at the same time. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 08/13/07 at 05:21:22 Only a question. Is Fenner banned from the forum or he's only shy?

The one way communication is just silly. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 08/13/07 at 05:42:10 Deleted, thaks for noticing it (i miss the SC submission sometimes, unless they are WR) As for Fenner i think we need more (and simpler) communication with him and banning from the forum is not the right thing. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 08/13/07 at 06:11:57 While I personally find it unfortunate that many people do not actively converse on these boards - since I am sure it would find it very entertaining and it would increase activity - it is their informed personal choice to make, and not one they should be called even silly for. These boards are open to anyone who wishes to discuss, but people should not be required to. I am posting this to say that the vast majority of people who don't post refrain from it not because they hate board members or the actvity here, but for other reasons which are perhaps best not discussed in their absence, whatever they may be.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Alvin van Asselt on 12/19/07 at 03:57:17 There are several reasons why my English is very good. Most important one is that I skipped a class, so I'm now in 3 VWO. But I also learned reading when I was about 4 years old and watched English programs with subtitles all the time. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Mark Engelsman on 12/19/07 at 09:36:54 I really don't get a shit of this game. Watched some vids and I am so confused TAS? ZZMT? What is SC what not? What is Tree ticking? Bust R button open and do something with it? I really don't get a shit. It looks like the whole game is cheating. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by DarkRoy on 03/02/08 at 03:12:35 Just noticed this in the RKB1 flap standards: 0'03"04 0'03"05 0'03"06 0'03"07 0'03"00 0'03"04 0'03"08 0'03"12 0'03"15 0'03"16 0'03"17 GOD is slower than Myth D? :P |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 03/02/08 at 10:03:46 hehe, already posted this in the standards feedback topic. Either way, to get more notice to it, yeah, both RKB1 flap and LP 3-lap have messed up spots in the God/Myth area. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Fababu on 03/05/08 at 08:21:03 Congrats Alvin for your POM! By the way, I've sent a few pr's a few days ago and no one has update them in the site. Don't call me impatient xD, but I say it because since then there have been some times updates in the site. Thanks. P.D: Alvin, will you return to MKDD someday? ::) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 03/05/08 at 08:31:38 Usually the explanation for your times not being updated, is that they are either obviously shortcut, or the message didn't get validated for some reason. Make sure all of your times follow the rules, and then resubmit again. If they still aren't put on the site, then complain here to Tom and Termo ;) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 03/05/08 at 08:38:28 In this case they were all fine. I updated them a couple of days ago along with many others but.... today i noticed thay are not registered on the DB! I'm updating now. EDIT: I did it (and i lost two spot in AF :( ) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Fababu on 03/05/08 at 08:39:52 That's the problem: the message has been validated (http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/4815); and how you can see (http://www.mariokart64.com/mksc/profile.php?pid=116) my times aren't nothing special; but I don't have any problem in make a time scroll. I think that the easily way is re-send the message and wait ;). |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by NIVEKYOSHI on 03/05/08 at 09:08:13 No, you may wait one day and I'm sure that your times will be updated.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Fababu on 03/05/08 at 09:27:40 There's a mistake, I haven't imrpove my BC4; 26"03 is my FLap in RR xD. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Ostro on 03/10/08 at 05:13:21 lol no but now there was a news and times update at the same time and you missed my ~5 AF cut and didn't mention me in the news. Now I lost all the motivation [smiley=chairshot.gif] don't overlook the fun/ironic part [smiley=beer.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by In Hiding on 03/10/08 at 05:37:44 ok, so people are clear.. I usually update/approve yahoo group posts between 24/48hours, on some weekends it'll be the start and finish of the weekend, depends largely on access and how busy I am. During the week its usually every 24hrs. From there Luca will do the stats update when he has time which is usually 3/4 times a week. The written updates are done when they can, this one was a couple of days late cause me and Matt were talking about it. The last written update should cover the 1-7th if your prs were submitted to yahoo groups in that time then they should be covered by the update. If they weren't then its a mistake and we apologise :) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Ostro on 03/10/08 at 05:46:21 Alright, that explains a few things. My mails all got through on March 9th and yesterday so they shouldn't be in the news update for 1st-7th. The times are updated now but then it seems the AF table, stats etc. got screwed while updating. Either Luca didn't do it right or the database is lazy or you reset the AF list and all right at the very moment Luca updated times from after the 7th. No blaming, I just wondered what the hell is going on with my stats [smiley=roll.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Ostro on 03/22/08 at 09:16:34 Alright, now, seriously - I'd like to get answers :P First week of March ended March 7th but you posted the news and updated/reset the the tables on March 10th. Before that update my AF was 50+. During the time of the reset must've been a times update which screwed the tables - my AF went down to 45/46 but the change said 0,1xxx. So my AF cut of last week (2nd week March) would have been around 9/10 and not 4. After the 2nd update (thx for POW) you did not even reset the tables and they're still on week 2 adding week 3 to the changes. Just wondering: Do you have any screenshot of the tables of last week, Tom? If not, it will be hard to see this week's changes. Also: Why do we have things like those changes and awards to motivate players but at the same time ruin the motivation because of things like those mentioned above and give away awards kinda randomly? (I don't think there would have been a Kris vs. Cole in the 2nd week + I think you don't really know what to do for week 3 now because of messed up stats + not to mention POM then) This is not blaming or anything, I only want answers. Nobody is perfect but this seems kinda weird at the moment. Thanks |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Vorsch on 05/21/08 at 13:41:34 You should green tick me, Florian Chollet and Kevin Borne. Martin Morissette has a few vids too, but I don't know if he has enough of them. I also noticed several times on the page that are probably sc: - Guillaume Leviach's RP times, I asked him and he said that they were sc. - probably Kevin Booth's RP times (besides, he says he drove them in 2001, back then the waterslide strat wasn't discovered yet) - maybe Andrew Manning's RP times, we should ask him about them - Kenyon Bollinger's RP times and probably his RiR times, you should delete them, he doesn't have a full time set anyway - Wiebren Joustra's RiR times: he confessed in tha yahoogroup that his 3lap time is sc and submitted a new time, but the new time was never updated - Thomas Mifflin's RDP3 time: the flap was removed, but not the 5lap? he doesn't have a fullset anyway - some of Alexis Rodriguez's times: his RiR is wrong since it is faster than his flap*3, his bc3 is sc too since his flap was sc. He has some other weird times: BP, RMC1 lap, RMC4 total and his RDP3 mainly. I think that you should contact him and if he doesn't respond remove some of thoses. You could also check that his times are possible. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Aussie Racer on 05/22/08 at 04:42:37 I agree on the removal of the moderation on messages. Because Luca can only do up the ones he see's, it can be days before new ones are put up and this can cause submissions to be delayed. I started putting PR's in a week ago and only 2 have gone up in that time. If he could see all the most recent messages then he could add them all when he updates, not just submissions from 4 days ago. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Nicholas Harvey on 07/26/08 at 20:56:22 I'm sure this has already been though of but here is a way you can rank players with missing times in the Average Finish chart. Simple, give each missing time the rank of n+1, while n is the number of times on the corresponding chart. For instance, if there are 100 times on a chart, then everyone without a time for that chart would get a rank of 101. This way, players with a few missing times can still get a world ranking. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by BenSinistar on 09/29/08 at 08:44:15 Two things: 1) Huge congratulations to Yunus for becoming the new site #3 :) 2) Will Florian Valandina be required to show proof for his DP times (DP1 in particular)? Unless he has a ZZMT-ready GBA I fear he may be ticking/water skipping these tracks (perhaps not DP2 but 1 + 3 are a bit suspect for a player out the blue. I know he has proof for other times but they aren't nearly as strong as these ones). |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Etch on 09/29/08 at 08:54:13 I think it's just not understanding the site rules given the spread of his times. Brutus has mentioned it to Luca before I think so hopefully something gets all figured out there. And yes, congrats to Matt err I mean Yunus to reaching numero tres on teh charts. [smiley=smokin.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 09/29/08 at 09:02:08 He knows the correct/allowed paths because he watched all WRs Seb vids on youtube (i found him on youtube and i told him to watch all the allowed strat from Boomer account). Maybe he just not remeber which strat he used for the DP tracks (and SG too). I asked him some demonstration vids... |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Brutus on 09/29/08 at 12:06:03 Thanks guys but I think Matt Ellis deserves the credit for not only being the best mario karter in the world but also motivating me to reach this level (which pales in comparison to his) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Aussie Racer on 09/29/08 at 19:39:45 Congrats Yunus, that BC2 time had been holding you back for a while [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 09/30/08 at 03:39:43 Yeah.. congratulation for keeping karting at high levels on all tracks. As for Florian Valandina, he asked me, through youtube how much time he has for providing video proof of his best times. The site has no a fixed rule about... what should I tell him? BTW i asked him to try and follow this forum. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 10/04/08 at 08:18:04 I'm not sure, but it's seems that Florian now are using some ticking techniques: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/5692?l=1 BTW, Alex (if you are reading), what is the mean of underlined text in the updating area? http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/2986/clipboard01dr3.jpg (http://imageshack.us) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Brutus on 10/04/08 at 13:24:42 Chances are he doesn't know the rules. I'd be willing to bet each of his DP times are using a SC. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by SuperYoshi1 on 10/10/08 at 12:14:10 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/5736 The two first are obviously SC records. And lol at the comment below... |

ah.. that makes sense. Quote:
yeah, now it's urgent because all your DP times (as well as SG) are almost impossible without using the ZZMT techs. Flo, if you do not provide at least a proof of your ability on that tracks (one lap with one or zero shrooms, fast enough to see how you master the tracks) we will determine a deadline for the said times. You likely simply do not remember how you got the times and this is not a shame since MKSC has a lot of way of playing it Just play again and post the result. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Boom3r on 10/20/08 at 14:31:05 i saw a mistake on the past champs page today there is a gap of 3 days between 25th and 28th of may i think Pierre was champion at that time |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 10/21/08 at 02:13:36 Yes, I know For the moment, I don't really have the time to play these tracks, but I promise I will as soon as possible (= during the holidays hopefully) ;) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by AlexPenev on 11/07/08 at 04:39:22 Luca, it means "warning: too fast", but the cut-offs for what is considered "too fast" were manually inserted by me long ago by looking at the existing records, and over time when new strats or SCs are found, those barriers become weak. If too many records are being flagged as orange, you can tell me which courses I should readjust. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by dragondragon on 01/14/09 at 15:29:07 I just bought MKSC, and I noticed on the main page of the site, the strats page doesn't work. Is there one anywhere? Edit: I just noticed another topic about that, so I guess there isn't a page up. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 01/14/09 at 23:11:46 I think you mean this page: http://www.mariokart64.com/mksc/rules.php ;) It shows the strats to use, but also the rules.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by dragondragon on 01/15/09 at 07:07:16 I guess I was mostly looking for shroom spots, but I can check those videos out for that.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 02/01/09 at 20:24:21 This entry was not updated, sent on January 30th: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/6122 However, this entry was updated, sent on January 31st: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/6128 Note: I submitted a time for the RRR flap in each of these, and since it was updated in the later one, it doesn't need to be messed with. The other PRs in the first one do though. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 02/02/09 at 03:06:37 So the SG 3lap and flap + the RRR 3lap need to be updated then? I'll fix that as soon as I get home from school. :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 02/03/09 at 19:27:00 Either i misread the Done tag, which I don't believe i did, or it was typoed. Either way, I'm gonna fix it. SuperYoshi1, post your times/name here and i'll re-update them. I updated yours Chuck Foster. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 02/03/09 at 19:58:15 Nicely done. Thank you, sir. :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 02/04/09 at 14:54:45 I just went back and redid all the messages two pages back, so all of the times SHOULD be updated now. If anyone see's a missed time now, please tell me. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 02/07/09 at 11:08:56 My e-mail address on my profile is displayed as herenthereguy405<at>yahoo<dot>com. That is incorrect. It is @aol.com. |

|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by dragondragon on 02/07/09 at 18:09:01 Ok, I just figured it was that way, because every mario kart site has mine listed as yahoo, even though I've never used a yahoo email. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 02/08/09 at 04:49:24 By default every email is set as yahoo.com (or yahoo.co.uk if the player is from UK). The reason is that the updater itself can see only the first part of the email address (not the domain). The few persons who have the right address, in the past asked to fix it on this topic ;) But i think the adress is almost useless because we have board messages and we can still answer on the correct address using the yahoo groups. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by dragondragon on 02/08/09 at 09:13:26 Exactly. That's why I never brought it up before :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 02/09/09 at 05:02:07 I made a mistake. :D http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/6158 SBG should be SGB, and ignore the flap since my faster PR was already updated. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 03/07/09 at 03:54:58 I have a question is it possible to change something in the userprofile? on the mkw page, when you are in your time profile, you can click on "rank" and your times get ordered from best to worst and such things, that would be cool on our site, too. So you can see what are your worst times and so on, without looking on every single time =) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 03/07/09 at 08:43:44 Oh I didn't know that existed, but yes, that would be a very good idea! [smiley=thumbsup.gif] |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 03/09/09 at 03:18:30 you´ve forgotten to update my times ... =( |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 03/09/09 at 03:45:06 I´ve send it with my home email adress |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 03/09/09 at 07:45:56 normally it should be 6239 PRs for Chuck Foster Chuck Foster SL: 1'18"80 (0'23"96)... That is the last yahoo message I can see from March 3th |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by SuperYoshi1 on 03/09/09 at 11:05:38 There is something weird with the AF charts : even with my last PR's, I've lost AF [smiley=lolk.gif] I can't believe Alan made me lost like 0.2 pt in one month ;D |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 03/09/09 at 11:10:04 I'm pretty sure you have to have an e-mail registered with the group for it to go through. You might want to check the e-mail that you used and see if it sent you a message back telling you that you're not a member. That has happened to me before. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 03/09/09 at 13:40:19 I don´t got such an email, and it worked before fine... Can I post the PRs here and you update them then? |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 03/09/09 at 13:42:18 better use the yahoo group for logging/historical issues. I'll try to update it as soon as it will approved. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 03/09/09 at 14:35:27 Phantom, go to the Yahoo Group and click on "Edit Membership" (make sure you are logged in). On that page you can add new e-mail addresses that the group will accept e-mails from. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 03/10/09 at 00:42:52 I made a new Email account pgan90@yahoo.com (my 10th or so^^) and submitted my times I hope it works now xDD |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 04/23/09 at 12:42:02 I'm very sad saying that, but, after changing my job and going living in a new house, i've no more enough free time to be moderator and time updater :-[ I will not quit the board, off course, and i will follow at least this section and the flash game topic in the general one ;) As for playing, in the last year i played a lot of Team Fortress 2 instead of MK, just because i'm way more talented aiming targets with the mouse than timing a turn. I wish vice versa, but i can't choose a talent :D |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Fababu on 04/23/09 at 12:57:31 Oh, that's a pity Luca; I hope you keep being around here at least when you have a bit of free time. BTW, I hope you have a great life after changing your job and your house, good luck man. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 04/23/09 at 13:02:07 That's unfortunate Luca. I hope you enjoy your new house and job though! Guess I'll be all alone with the times updating now. Keep on my case about this people! I might forget! XD |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 04/23/09 at 13:07:27 Sad to hear that you are away now, but nice to hear that it´s all fine =) Have fun =) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Extol on 04/23/09 at 15:05:24 its good that youll still be around Luca, even if its in a lesser role, youre still part of the mk community :) and i hope everything goes well for you in your new job/home. and Matt, if you need any help updating, id be glad to do it ;) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Boom3r on 04/24/09 at 03:14:34 Luca, you did an amazing job here! thanks quite sad, but it's cool that you're still around |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 04/24/09 at 05:26:27 Well, I have nothing to add to these comments but I think exactly the same as the others. The only thing I can wish you is a good luck for your new life and don't forget to have fun! ;) (Hope to see you back soon :D) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by termoPilucco on 04/24/09 at 08:49:16 thanks for all the replies, mates. I'm still here thought, but just less often. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 04/24/09 at 22:35:13 Oh and a last thing... Can you update the times for the LAST time this week? ;D We are already waiting for 1 week |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 05/03/09 at 19:10:45 It was actually coincidental that I updated with PR's, all of those PR's (except for the last message one, which I got after I updated) were old ones that I hadn't submitted yet. Someone PM'd me yesterday for an update, and I told them I'd do it today, so I did :D |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Aussie Racer on 05/04/09 at 16:19:24 Yeah thanks Matt, why did you not update my RiR and RCI1 times though? Other times that were posted after that one were updated ::) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 05/04/09 at 19:29:15 Should be fixed now. Sorry about that. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 05/08/09 at 02:00:37 No, I won't. I already told you ;D I think this time is my last new PR and BTW, that was also my last #30 improoved :D I really don't think I'll be able to improove more now because my exam comes in the middle of June and I have to work a lot. Furthermore, I'm not interested anymore in MKSC (for the moment), I may/might come back later. I'm much more on MKDS atm, with my team and I'm still improoving a lot, so I'll keep on playing this game for several weeks/months... :( But GL to you Dan if you can repass me and after that, do the epic thing of passing Karel. :D See you guys! |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 05/14/09 at 08:57:00 Doing a times update tonight, in case anyone was wondering. I'll do monthly news updates until tom decided he's gonna start writing them again instead of worrying about some iPod. (does Tom even look at this board anymore?) :-/ |

|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 06/01/09 at 15:29:35 I know I've said it a couple times, but a written update should be coming shortly. Within this week for sure. If it's not done by then, bitch at me on MSN/AIM to work on it. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 06/01/09 at 16:37:18 Can do. ;D |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 06/02/09 at 02:23:29 Great! :D Now you can update the news... ;D |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 06/09/09 at 05:10:27 One week per day. I like it. Gives me reason to keep checking the main page. [smiley=thumbsup.gif] Someone find Tom and tell him to check his PMs. [smiley=dankk2.gif] Oh and thanks for the POW. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Vorsch on 06/11/09 at 01:15:30 Can you change my name from Louis Nebout to Louis Tounet? Because of my job, my name wil be googled quite often by my bosses. Thanks Also: green tick please. I provided vids for all my hero times (I have over 50), including several titan and a myth. Also: I pasted an old post of mine that went unoticed about several sc times that I found on the rankings. Quote:

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Nicholas Harvey on 06/11/09 at 10:50:41 Whoa, I didn't realize we had so many illegal times on the charts. So that's why so many n00bs (I don't mean to use that term disparagingly) have such fast RP times. I played that track yesterday and could not imagine how Leviach could have gotten faster than the 1'05"xx I was trying to get [smiley=dead.gif] And BTW, even if you are on the charts under a new name, a Google search may reveal old time submissions under the old name... [smiley=ninja.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 06/11/09 at 10:54:08 ^And the very post suggesting for the name to be changed might even turn up since he put his original name in there, ruining the whole thing. :-/ I guess the chances are lessened though if it does get changed. Oh, Harvey, usually if you say "noob" it is insulting. If you say "newb", however, it usually is not. *goes to check out their wacky RP times* Edit: Definitely worth looking into. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by KartSeven on 06/11/09 at 14:50:55 Guillaume already said here (a long time ago ^^) his times at RP were SC... But it was never fixed ! ;D |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Nicholas Harvey on 06/11/09 at 15:02:17 Another thing on the MKSC site that should be fixed: the player called "Chaves Lionel" is actually "Lionel Chaves". That's how his name appears on every other Kart site. Makes more sense anyway-- think of Lionel Richie with the first name, but with the last name Chaves (I think it's pronounced SHAHV...) Because of this mixup, Lionel didn't get credit on the Combined Ranks page for playing this game because someone saw "Chaves Lionel" and thought it was someone else :-/ |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 06/11/09 at 16:54:41 All of the above things have been dealt with except for Alexis Rodriguez. Someone contact him, if he doesn't respond, then I'll delete the times. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Etch on 06/11/09 at 17:41:09 If this game weren't so terribly glitched it be easier for people to play. Read them goddammit. http://img355.imageshack.us/img355/8448/smileyrules.gif |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Nicholas Harvey on 06/11/09 at 20:00:43 Lionel's last name is spelled Chaves, not Chavez (it's French and pronounced "shav", not to be confused with the Spanish "sha-vez") |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 06/11/09 at 22:21:07 I think you should add this emot with the other ones Etch. I love it ;D |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by DarkRoy on 06/16/09 at 00:30:59 May I get my name changed to "Nicola Torre"? |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by SuperYoshi1 on 07/14/09 at 07:27:41 I just noticed that now, but why the February's awards are missing while the March's ones are up ? [smiley=lolk.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Etch on 07/14/09 at 07:37:53 That's my KB2 5"71 xD Ben Stoner isn't exactly at that level yet, maybe you saw Ben Allen at 5"72 and got them mixed. Can't blame you, there are some great Bens at mariokart. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Miss April on 07/14/09 at 08:51:43 Fixed the RKB2 error. Not sure what happened; could be from when I was copying the times into Word that I didn't scroll down far enough (I do them in players' alphabetical order by last name, so very well could be a possibility). Anyway, it's fixed. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Etch on 07/14/09 at 15:18:02 Whatcha doin' April? O.o That 1'01"36 on DP1 is my time! xDDD When I write news for mkds, I just look at who got some AF/ARR cuts and mention a few times they submit. Granted, it can take longer on a more active game but mksc shouldn't be too overbearing. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Miss April on 07/14/09 at 19:10:22 Ugh, wtf. Fixed. Edit to add: That's what I've been doing (or trying to do) as well, so I'm wondering at this point if the process for doing news updates was explained to me completely backwards...(copy all the week's times into a Word document + look at the stats page, which wasn't working for this week's times for some reason). Is there some easier way to do this? |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Kmacc on 07/14/09 at 20:11:38 Well, when I do the MKDS news updates, I use a method where I set someone's profile as my own. That way, I can see all the prs they sent that were updated within the last 7 days, so I know what times to talk about and such. MKSC doesn't have that feature as far as I know. You can possibly talk to Alex to see if he can add it on. It helps for whenever you want to talk about times that are being made. Edit: Oh and of course, you gotta make sure you eventually fill in the awards into the awards section. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Etch on 07/14/09 at 20:15:09 Are you sure that pow wasn't for me too? ;D If you follow the style on the other Penev sites you should be fine. 1. Zero the AF charts at the beginning of the week, this hasn't been done since May. 2. Players with an AF cut at the end of the week get mentioned in the news update. 3. Players with largest cuts or most pr's get POW, more weight is given to top players. 4. You don't have to mention individual pr's but if you want just look through the yahoo group. 5. When you finish, zero the tables and add the awards to the site. There are people listed with AF cuts who have been inactive for quite awhile. I don't know if you took that into account for who should get pow but this sort of thing is very important in determining the awards. Sure, someone got a couple new times this week but they may got that 3 AF cut a long time ago. Hope that helps. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 07/15/09 at 07:36:45 http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/6537 This submission didn't get updated while one submitted after it did. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 07/15/09 at 08:20:39 Updated the time. Also, sorry to everyone about being pretty bad for the times updating, been dealing with a lot of shit recently (which April knows about and could back me up on), but for the most part that's over now, so I should be updating more regularly now. Also, personal apology to April for dumping it all on you for the most part, I won't let it happen again, and I owe you a favour if it ever piles up for any reason again :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 07/15/09 at 08:57:05 Thanks Matt. I think this will be a good rivalry soon: http://www.mariokart64.com/mksc/rivalry.php?pids=124;165;176;88 Maybe it could take the place of one of those really outdated ones (ex. Top 5, Top 10 border). |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by BSMKDS on 07/16/09 at 02:56:54 I hoarded my times so i don't deserve pow. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 07/17/09 at 22:33:22 ^Thanks for being honest. Srsly... the awards page... oldness... |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 07/17/09 at 23:06:35 I'll update it tomorrow when I get up, as well as do a times update. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Miss April on 08/08/09 at 11:00:18 Tom / Alex / anyone else that can fix it (I'm pretty sure I don't have access to fix this): The RKB1 lap standards are off in the Myth range (God comes up as 3"04 but the Myth D comes up as 3"00). |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 08/09/09 at 00:44:54 Fixed for you Stellmacher. April, I believe you can do it from the update times page. The 'Modify' option :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Miss April on 08/09/09 at 18:32:05 Matt: I thought you'd already fixed the email thing, so I didn't worry about it. Can't access the standards info though. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 08/09/09 at 18:42:24 That's because the standards info is a part of the sites directory files, which I believe only Penev has access to? |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by In Hiding on 08/10/09 at 04:35:48 yes, you're right. I said I would review the standards after 6 months, probably time i did it. Ideally would do it while i'm at home with the internet but just moved so will do it in the next few weeks. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 08/10/09 at 06:34:59 Does this mean you'll come back and help with the updates too Tom? :O |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by SuperYoshi1 on 08/10/09 at 13:59:06 Noticed some things : -Everyone (at least amongst the top players) gained 0.1 AF with the last update, whereas almost no one of them submitted new PR's; what happened ? -My RKB1 30"00 5lap has been updated but the 29"58 settled the next day wasn't. Both messages which contains those PR's appeared at the same time on the yahoogroups. http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/6587 -The awards for February are still missing... well I don't think someone will even fill up anyway, and I wonder if someone really care [smiley=lolk.gif] But I can help deciding the awards if I know such things as AF cuts and PR's set this month [smiley=ninja.gif] -And yeah some crazy standards need to be fixed, I think I'll point out them in the standards feedback thread. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Miss April on 08/10/09 at 14:15:53 Hmm, will fix the randomly lost time in a minute. That's weird; I just copy and paste, so all of them should go through. Tom/Matt will need to fix February's awards, because idk who got them (or if they were ever awarded? I can't remember), and that was long before I started updating. And the AF thing: I added someone who later that day I determined needed to prove times. The person's removal adds the extra point :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by SuperYoshi1 on 08/16/09 at 16:21:01 Just to say that this BP flap that appears on the charts is wrong : http://www.mariokart64.com/mksc/course.php?cid=35&hl=12.78&start=1 vs http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/6600 Nothing important in terms of AF though, so it can wait :P |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 09/01/09 at 13:52:45 On this image I added a neon green line and a black circle. I have one question: Is the neon green jump allowed? I assumed it was because of the jump that is allowed which I circled in black. It requires no backward driving at all, though this image kind of makes it seem that way. I guess the green line should be curved upward to go along with the shape of the turn. http://i31.tinypic.com/ic8p6g.png |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Brutus on 09/01/09 at 14:20:35 Should be allowed, but it's not. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 09/01/09 at 15:38:43 It's just as natural as shrooming over anything using the bumps. They're right there by the barrier like they were meant to be used for that. My current PR on the site uses this jump, and I've improved it using the same jump though I haven't submitted my new PR yet in case for some reason this jump gets rejected. So... I guess Tom has got the last word on this? What's the word, Tom? By the way, I advise giving it a shot on your game rather than simply looking at the image, which I think makes it look you have to stop and turn around or something, which you don't. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Brutus on 09/01/09 at 16:19:55 You don't need Tom's ruling, the strat isn't allowed on the PP. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 09/01/09 at 20:15:40 :( Yeah now that I've seen some YouTube vids, it would definitely change everything if that jump started to be allowed. Bleh... umm... I guess.. Matt or April, please change my Yoshi Desert flap back to whatever it was before. That jump should have been allowed from the beginning. [smiley=chairshot.gif] |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Brutus on 09/02/09 at 03:11:28 Well it does cut more than the second jump. A certain amount of corner cutting isn't allowed, you know! |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 09/02/09 at 13:32:01 Been wanting to bring this up again for a while, and the posts above provide me a good opportunity to. Our current rule set is supposed to be non-shortcut, is it not? How come we use so many shortcuts in it then? It's either one or the other, not both. If you wanted to have a truly non shortcut racing, you'd have to effectively ban mushrooms, lap skips, lakitu tricks, and jumping over walls with water. From there, anything that could be done (excluding BC3 cut) could be considered non-shortcut. As it currently stands, our current standings are more of a shortcut ranking with limits. Limits are fine for 'specific' things (wall jumping with water, lap skipping/lakitu tricking (which is up for debate on what could be considered lap skipping on specific courses) and ticking are more trick ranking things than anything), but other than that, you'd have anything you could do at your disposal. Our current 'rules' are very limiting on a lot of courses, sometimes for reasons that don't even make much sense (BC3 is an obvious cut here, as well as RDP3, some of the less obvious ones are BP's multiple bouncer paths and YD's various paths). I doubt it will ever be implemented, but it should at least be considered. It's the only way I can see the rankings truly working without looking stupid. (saw some guy who thought he had a non-ticking WR on BC3 cause he beat our sites time by about .40 using the cut. You guys don't seriously want that do you? :/ |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Kmacc on 09/02/09 at 19:45:48 The only problem with that is that it's too hard to change the rules now. People already have their times on the site and you can't take them down because rule changes, that isn't fair to them. This wouldn't really be a big problem if you just allowed more things because it wouldn't make their times illegal. But if you took away some of the shortcuts/corner-cutters that are allowed, those people would have to have their times taken down and it isn't fair to them. If you were to allow more things, it isn't exactly fair either (although not nearly to the extent of the previous), and then there would still be question on where the line would be drawn for what is allowed. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 09/04/09 at 05:17:49 Lap skipping is a lot easier to judge than shortcuts. Also, those people wouldn't have their times removed, they'd be kept in the shortcut section. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Kmacc on 09/04/09 at 05:35:32 But then they wouldn't have non-sc times to substitute, so they wouldn't show up on the AF chart. Also, you can't know who exactly used some SCs and all of that. From this point it's hard to change anything, so it's best to stick with what it is now. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by In Hiding on 09/04/09 at 07:11:10 Realistically looking back we could've/should've banned the current jump as it goes over a wall. The point is guys, THIS SITE IS NON-SC. We seem to have managed to get a significant amount of people playing within the current "limits/ruleset". The question is chuck.. if you allow your cut (which albeit in the game seems less that on the map), at what point do you draw the line. If i'm completely honest when we were ironing this out at the beginning, this course was a nightmare in terms of what should/shouldn't be allowed because there are soo many bumps, so in the end we said that one jump - in the current place would be allowed as its not huge and it gives some people a bit of sc to keep them happy. Alot of these excuses seem a bit weak now but at the time it seemed ok :-/ About the play who wants to join and claim a WR, we have the WR charts (ticking, lap skipping et al). And I suggest we point them towards that. summary - the rules aren't perfect but they seem to work with the essence in mind. 8-) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 09/04/09 at 07:29:30 If this site is supposed to be non-sc then it's doing a pretty bad job of it. Honestly the SC times should be the main ranking for this game anyways, considering everyone here seems to play with some forms of SC driving (excluding lapskipping) |
|

This is my issue with it. These jumps aren't the type where a player is like "Oh look at this new SC I found!" It's just shrooming onto a bump and it's quite apparent that it's possible. There's a bump near a barrier and you have shrooms. What was expected? It's not as laid out on YD as it is at the end of SW for example, but surely the developers knew. And I realize we can only guess as to what was in the minds of the creators of this game, so on unclear set-ups such as the first part of YD, it just had to be decided what was right and what wasn't. I guess I wouldn't feel so strongly about it if that cut had at least been addressed on the track rules image. I just assumed (assuming is usually a mistake) it was because of the later jump that is allowed, so now my game shows me having a flap that I can't submit to the site, which is foreign to me. After that, it makes me wonder why I would try to improve a time with an inferior strategy, especially since that jump is so easy to make. It reminds me of RiR, with the really easy "SC" from the big ramp that isn't allowed here. As Tom says, this is a Non-SC site so I understand having restrictions and I can certainly appreciate them, but then I look at tracks like BP and wonder wtf we're doing there if it's not SC. I just look for consistency I suppose. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Etch on 09/04/09 at 20:28:32 Some of the non-sc rules are arbitrary but the goal is to keep cutting the course at a minimum. In some situations, you are forced to take a big cut like on LP or BP because bumpers are lined up. Sure, some courses are kinda bullshit but its better than cyberscore. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 09/05/09 at 01:00:35 I'm really glad Cyberscore is here because it classes all the records (SC and no-SC, for the people who do not use SC). And that's great to have minimum one site that allows SC otherwise the game wouldn't be interesting. = you would not be able to use all the interest (= other glitches/bugs included) of this game... :-/ Some people such as me like both of them: using SC and doing a non-SC race. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Phantomganon on 09/05/09 at 06:09:27 I can´t understand Flo, how you could like to restart CL 100 times, just to hit that damn fucking mouse in the right angle to get an 0.03 lap who cares about that shit?! |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by karterfreak on 09/05/09 at 07:00:35 ^ That'd be an example of the lap skipping that I was talking about before. Lap skipping in itself is a different playstyle compared to normal sc racing and non-sc racing. There are ALOT of issues with the site as it stands now, and I feel its a good reason as to why nobody really wants to join this site. There's too many conditions to each track, and some of them don't seem to be there for a right reason. I've already said my view, and as far as I'm concerned, if the site is going to be fixed, it has to be done now, regardless of peoples times being affected. If we keep that mindset, then when people start driving near perfect times, they're going to be even more pissed when they won't fit in the category anymore. The world record times are (mostly) weak right now, so this would be the best time. In the same token, I believe the main charts SHOULD be Non-SC, with its (required) alternative charts being SC. As it stands right now though, all the times driven should be put into the SC category to make a proper non-SC ruleset that isn't all track specific. (aka, something that prevents shortcuts from being done on (mostly) all tracks, and is a general non-sc rule, such as, for example: no using mushrooms (drastic, but it works)). Honestly, right now we should be discussing the rules of our site that are going to be in effect for the rest of the time this game is played, not the standards for our current ruleset. Add to the fact that a lot of these shortcuts are obvious, and easily achieved |

I do care! But (for example) on CL, the point is not to do a 0"03 lap. This is really easy. No, the point here is to get the best 3 lap as possible and here I can restart this race mooooooooooooooore than 100 times to get a decent Before I got my 3"08 3 lap PR, I was at around 5"2x and I couldn't do better because I couldn't manage to get a better angle and reach the exact point on the wall which situates the finish line. And this is part of the game, so I don't understand why we should skip that part of the game. Btw, the CL SC is not the best/most interesting SC of this game. imo, thebests are the ones where it's hard to lapskip such as SGB, CCI or RVL2 or even LP. And as far as I'm concerned, the most difficult SC track is RP with it's 3 SCs in one lap. I just never could do the 3rd one and I can tell that I tried more than 200 times. Believe me :-/ |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by robman59 on 09/05/09 at 09:16:35 i see what you mean Matt it seems that they made this game not really caring about scs snd lots of them seem intended. for lots of the courses there is big cutters surely the couldnt have not noticed they could be done :-/ |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Flo1 on 09/05/09 at 09:21:15 Most of the SCs are really tricky though. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Saint Nicholas on 04/05/10 at 23:33:20 Someone needs to fix the "Detailed Information" box that appears when you hover over a time when viewing a timesheet.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Howes on 04/06/10 at 00:11:38 It seems to be popping up in the right place for me, and the source code looks the same as all the other sites. Seems to me that it must be a problem with your computer or something on your side then. |

|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Kmacc on 07/15/10 at 12:43:33 ^Any of the time updaters could change that stuff. When I was still playing MKDS and updated my times, I would write in splits sometimes and stuff like that. It's actually pretty cool for splits and stuff, but it would be slightly more time consuming to update. Really not too bad though. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Mick on 07/15/10 at 12:46:06 This could work for MKSC since we have less times to update (assuming of course we know the splits !) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by DarkMeta on 07/16/10 at 13:24:16 How can we possibly know all our splits when we don't even have ghosts to show them... We can't remember them all. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 07/16/10 at 13:56:55 ^It sounds like a cool idea definitely.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chuck Foster on 12/20/10 at 16:18:04 Five laps of RBC2 is too much. I vote we just have everyone drive about a half lap, pause, and use good judgement about what the time is. I'm willing negotiate with the number of laps, but my opening offer is 1/2. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Saint Nicholas on 12/22/10 at 01:23:06 Has anyone told Matt Davis that the RiR shortcut isn't allowed? He has submitted a 23"xx lap time, and he's currently got a blank spot for RiR lap in his timesheet (which will have to stay blank until he can submit an acceptable time) Look at the rest of this guy's times, he ain't exactly a top player... yet. ;) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by V|K on 12/22/10 at 01:47:37 He also had some SC RDP3 times iirc. I sent him a mail with the rules page and after that he submitted the right times. Now we only have to tell him that the RIR sc is not allowed. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by El Niño on 02/10/11 at 17:11:22 I have a quick question: where are the times of Nathan Cromwell, the site's first #1? :-? Thanks, Christophe. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by robman60 on 02/11/11 at 10:33:38 ^The authenticity of his times came into question as far as I know. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by flo233 on 02/12/11 at 05:14:33 Yes his YD times are obviously SC, his RP total seems strange too. It's not the first time he send SC times. April have already e-mail him several times Same thing for Block RDP3 And yes WR are easy to get but just for Sebastian ;D |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 02/12/11 at 12:56:56 ^Ugh. You're right -- not the first time I've emailed him re: sending in SC times. I'm at work, so I'll take care of it when I get home (unless another times updater wants to take care of it). |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by NCH on 02/12/11 at 13:52:21 Why don't we ax the suspect times in the mean time? Sure it'll leave these players with incomplete timesheets, but if they care they'll resubmit a Non-SC time. (Or, replace these times with the previous ones that we can be sure aren't SC...) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 02/13/11 at 05:13:21 ^That's the problem. In this particular case, I have emailed this guy numerous times about those SC times and have removed the times, but he keeps resubmitting SC times that end up getting added. Ideally I'd like to freeze him until he gets the point and sends in some non-SC times, but I'm not quite sure if that's the best solution. Edit: Removed any times I considered questionable. Will send an email hopefully tomorrow, and figure out how best to handle this, because frankly, I'm sick of this SC times added/removed/person emailed cycle that seems to be occurring here. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by humpy92 on 02/13/11 at 13:53:09 ^ totally understandable. a firm move has to be made otherwise those causing the problems will continue to exploit the rules. |

You also were caught for TAS, meaning you know how to handle a computer. Just set your camera on a stack of books and record an attempt live that has 2 laps or so that is on par with your PRs and you're done. |

The reason that the jump between Myth A to GOD is so brutal is mostly because back when the standards were made. I was the only person who had splits anywhere near sub 27. If the times had gone down by milliseconds from the current GOD time, and gradually got easier to beat (every standard gap = increased increment, etc.), then almost every player would have had extremely low standards on that track compared to now. Didn't make it the right choice, but it made it easier to make the temporary standards that you see today (both for me and Gaff). |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Mwopick on 04/23/11 at 15:38:16 About the fixes : Terrence and Stacy, I reverted your YD times that I know use the unauthorired shroom back to your previous best time (except for the 18"48 flap which is now updated). I don't know if those times also include this cut, and won't be deleting them anyway since it would mess up the AF chart and I wouldn't be able to write the news update, but let me know what are your best times using the authorised strat as soon as possible, if changes are needed. Thanks. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by TheKartingAtheist on 04/23/11 at 16:37:36 My 1:01.78 3lap also uses the banned shroom, so you can take that off and just put my old PR back on there (1:04.20) Edit: I might beat my banned PR without the banned strat soon anyway |

Just a few manual changes, so thats why you still appear there. That is a different subject anyway to the MKSC ones. (Gaff: Pierre requested removed of his longboost times as he couldnt remember his exact fastest and wanted to have them better driven before they are posted up).

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 08/05/11 at 06:45:29 I'd definitely recommend to avoid using the word "rape" for positive emphasis in news write-ups. I know that this connotation is gaining foothold rapidly, and so has for a good few years. I myself can tolerate seeing it on the forum, but I wouldn't like to see it be part of an informative news update. It just feels so unnecessary to venture there, especially since there is a plethora of genuinely positive superlatives to use in its place. I'll also let my post reflect that I personally don't mind the "sex pill-ness" of the update, [and I have nothing whatsoever against Timur] but I can see that being tangent to this discussion.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by F@nt0m@s on 09/19/11 at 09:12:50 I joined the MKSC PP back in September 2008 and it was bothering us to have such standards... So I'm thanking him for that, and don't worry, I'll join it again as soon as I can play the game again. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by .H. on 09/22/11 at 15:10:59 For the standards, I think they should be lowered a bit on everything. Pretty much every standard (especially the GOD times) are made for ZZMT racers, and this is unfair to nonZZMT players who are better than most ZZMT racers, though they only get like Myth B, D, etc., times due to the standards being impossible without the use of ZZMT (See SGB 47"00 GOD standard for an easy example). So why not keep the ZZMT God standards where they are and rename them something like "ZZMT God" or "God+" (Not 1-10, just +. Adding numbers makes it retarded). That or just make another chart for nonZZMT times with their own separate standards, as about 95% of the players on the PP are nonZZMT. Bottom line, GOD times impossible for those who will not risking their system just to file down their D-Pad is unfair and needs to be changed. It is unfair for top players such as Mickael Smolen, Umeki, Hirano, etc., to have times in the Titan/Myth times when most of the nonZZMT records literally can't go down more than "15 now. Just saying. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Zwiebel on 09/23/11 at 06:53:09 That's basically what I wanted to do, but the site admins are busy and there won't be seperate charts at least until MK7 has been out for some months, since the MK7 site needs the most work and there's no time for adding seperate charts for the current MKSC site because the changes would be time-consuming since the whole code would have had to be changed. And because adding just new standards wouldn't fit imo, I stopped working out new standards for the time being. I will do them when we get seperate charts, not now. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Zwiebel on 10/19/11 at 01:07:11 Just for the record Who is actually still doing times updates? I think it's only me and TvK at the moment, correct me if I'm wrong. Same goes for News. Since there are (and probably will be) some times when Tom and I don't have enough time to write news, I'd say a 3rd news writer (that could also do times updates) would be nice. Back then when Mick was also writing news I found it better. This is not to complain, I have no problem doing this alone with TvK, this is just for the peope who want weekly news, which sometimes is not always possible with 2, but more likely to work with 3 updaters. If everyone is fine with the way it is working now forget what I wrote ::) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 10/19/11 at 01:47:30 I would be interested in writing bulks of text for updates if I somehow can be spoonfed relevant statistics and changes to that end. Whether it eventually proves to save time is something I cannot be the judge of, but I would be willing to contribute text content. I imagine paragraphs would be slightly longer as a result of me writing. If this is not a dealbreaker, please let me know. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 10/22/11 at 12:48:45 ^I think there is still a site that news updaters can use to get stats for the previous week and whatnot (Gaff and I both lost the link, but I think Timur found it again iirc). But if you still want to do news, let me know and I can get you in. As for times updating, I'll have a look at things and see if we need another person or not. I've been in school and insanely busy, but I will actually be taking a couple months off starting the 4th, so if need be, I can start doing times with some regularity again. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by theDOC on 10/24/11 at 08:32:00 If u need someone, i can do both news and time update, or just update, tell me if you need a hand ;) |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by NintendoHero on 11/01/11 at 00:54:51 Imo some of the lower (Beginner and Intermediate mostly) standards should be changed. As an example a 45 second 5-lap on RKB1 is worse than a 10 second 1-lap standard wise... So doing a 10 second lap once is somehow better than doing 5 laps of around 9 seconds each. Most people here are good so it makes no difference, but for noobs like me who's times range from Beg D -> Adv A some of those standards annoy me, though I get annoyed easily. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by thewebinator on 12/03/11 at 07:02:08 you might want to cut down on the amount of stickies you have in here. I don't know if any of the threads have lost relevancy that are stickied, but it's a lot of threads and a little overwhelming. Maybe combine the "Strategy and Rules Discussion" with "Information Relative to Character Speed", as that's kind of a section of strategy. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 12/03/11 at 07:59:38 ^Yea, I'm in the process of going through those and trying to keep just those that are relevant. Edit: Info on Character Speed thread (http://www.mariokart64.com/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1201065015) will be linked in with Strategy/Rules Discussion and unstickied.

Title: Proof from Stephen de Winter Post by Shock on 04/11/12 at 11:58:57 Stephen de Winter wants a proof check mark. Here's his message: http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/Mario_Kart_Super_Circuit/message/9025 Here's his YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/user/100stephendw I took the time to watch his most recent time scroll video with his current profile and they match perfectly as far as I can tell. I am of the opinion that he should have a green check. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 04/11/12 at 20:55:41 Shock: As long as there is proof of 10 times and they look good, go on ahead and green tick him (any times updater is able to do it).

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 04/12/12 at 01:06:56 I'd say generally, a green tick should not be allowed on a "power by numbers" basis. (Not sure that you meant to convey merely that, but nothing further was clarified.) If someone has a particularly strong time, be it in relation to other players on the remaining personal timeset, it should be a requirement to demonstrate capability of this achievement through times of a similar calibre, etc.. I just wanted to have that said. Andreas |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Shock on 04/12/12 at 05:33:39 I went ahead and watched about 12 of his videos. They're all very clear, high quality videos that show the same thing: Mario racing around tracks with very conservative lines and few screw-ups. Considering we have his YouTube and e-mail to contact him in the future about anything, he's posted a significant number of videos that exactly match his time sheet, and, after his times were incorrectly updated he wrote again in less than a day to correct it, I gave him a green check. Of course if there are any objections or he does anything that might cause doubt we can always remove it just as easily. |

Of course :) For me, as long as everything looks legit and there is enough proof, then a green tick is fine.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by El Niño on 05/06/12 at 05:37:39 1) 10 videos of your current PRs. That's the base requirement for a green tick, but it isn't a guarantee. If you fulfill the requirement, it's probable you'll get the green tick, but if you only prove, say, your 10 worst times then obviously you don't get the tick. 2) I don't know for that one, you should ask Timur/TvK or maybe April for that, since they take care of awards. -Christophe. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Detective Spril on 05/25/12 at 06:24:34 ^Times and news updating aren't the same, but I'm to the point where if you want to do news updating, let me know and I'll give you logins and such, as one person is busy with school (understandable), one person won't do it, and the other two have yet to PM me back as to if/when news is happening. Someone will have to show you how to do the HTML formatting as I've forgotten and don't have my instructions anymore, but if it gets the news done, then God bless you. Honestly, right now I'm being as nice as I can be, but the whole "everyone PMing everyone else and no one keeping me in the loop" and "everyone else passing the buck" is starting to piss me off. At the end of the day, I'm the one running the show (no one else), and I expect MKSC site staff to be as accountable to me as I am to this community. News updaters: If you haven't PMed me about news: now would be a great time to PM me and fill me in. If not, I'll let wimmi do it and just assume no other updaters feel inclined to do it. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Nicola on 05/30/12 at 01:24:42 I'm still rather busy (fortunately school ends next week), but if someone tells me if I should cover April and May activity in one news or separate them I can work on it today or Friday. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 06/05/12 at 00:01:18 Thanks everybody :) @Shock: Well I got inspired by TvK saying it would be cool if somebody would write a whole news in different colors... but that would have been a little bit too much work for me ^_^ so I just googled the rainbow color codes :P |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chris on 06/09/12 at 04:19:29 Is it posible to delete written news? Because I'd like to test some things and if there are any diferences to the MK64 news updating system. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by TvK on 06/09/12 at 07:24:25 I think it would only actually be deleted after the files are rebuilt. This can only manually done by admins (I think, as I can't do it), or it happens automatically when a new update appears. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chris on 06/09/12 at 12:44:54 ^Allright, that's what I wanted to know :D thank you :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by A Runnelid on 07/08/12 at 14:34:04 I think the default view for Total Times should be combined as opposed to courses. Combined is the total; tallies for the subcategories should be secondary. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Shock on 08/13/12 at 08:26:20 I think the Myth A and God standards for RDP3 course are the same. (1'00"00) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by theDOC on 08/30/12 at 04:11:28 Man, i am disappointed. Came back after almost an year when i did absolutely nothing and thought updaters actually DID something. Where are the POMs? March, May, June and July missing. Seriously, wimmi, if you have spare time check the updates and give the awards. That would be awesome. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 08/30/12 at 04:45:36 I'm sorry. Once I became an updater, other updaters got more and more active again, so I stepped back, as I thought the site would be rolling anyways, and focused on the MK7 section. But I will reward all the missing awards over the weekend. |

Updating the awards has tended to be a background task that people have viewed as a fun add-on to the site. When it comes to major things like staying on top of time submissions and writing news, overall I don't think the MKSC team has done too badly at all.

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 08/31/12 at 04:57:34 Oh so you have some POMs & POWs to update? That would be good, then I don't have to check through all the old submissions :) or how do you mean that? |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 09/02/12 at 13:05:56 awards are all updated, news will come tomorrow in the evening, couldn't do it today. |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Shock on 09/02/12 at 16:07:10 Thanks wimmi. I would have done the news today, but I ended up helping out a guy get through a panic attack and it took 4 hours. And now I'm exhausted from the ordeal. :-/ |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Chris on 09/03/12 at 03:24:40 Just curious, I probably haven't read Aprils message well enough, but is there a stat page for MKSC aswell? It's pretty annoying to always look in the yahoogroups who did new Wrs and stuff... if there's one, send me a PM with the page, then it would be no problem for me to do the updates... it really takes about 5 times longer without such a stat page D: |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 09/03/12 at 11:23:36 what stats program? first time I hear about something like that news is published, but not shown on the page, idk if it's me having to clear the cache. edit: there should also be a poll about the 2nd POQ, should I do that? |

There used to be one, but I don't think it's still working. Timur has the link iirc. @wimmi: I tried sending you a pm about MKSC and MK7 some time ago, but my pms stopped working for some reason. I'll put up a poll for the 2nd POQ in a few days. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 09/03/12 at 11:57:13 ok thanks (about the poll), maybe my PM box was full. I deleted some messages now. but you can also send me a mail (s.wimmi[at]gmail.com) or add me on skype (wimma_rudi) :) |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by BPA on 09/03/12 at 14:10:33 Cheers for the update wimmi! I just refreshed the home page and got the news. |

Obviously i was kidding, i am member from 2010 and i know the work that is required for updating a PP, and that is completely voluntary, so i always think updaters reserve congrats for their work. Never thought about say that they weren't doing good, just joking on the fact i did nothing too ;) Also, nice to see that the staff is moving, guess i should move my lazy ass and PR, but i have other programs on karting ATM, so i guess a comeback is for 2013, unless my schedule is pessimistic and i finish earlier. |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by Shock on 09/03/12 at 16:45:42 ^ K. Thanks for the clarification; I just didn't remember if you were the kind of person who expected others to actually do work around here, lol. Sometimes I feel that there is an influx of that sentiment among some of our newer board members... |

Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 09/10/12 at 11:04:29 needs more activity :) I actually tried to play again during the last week, but after the first lap of PC I turned my DS off again, because it felt so weird to play the game :( edit: oh, and shouldn't we do something about the past champions site? Andy still isn't listed. Should I ask Alex to remove Terrence and add Andy for the day he got champ? |
|
Title: Re: Site issues and suggestions Post by wimmi on 09/11/12 at 20:45:38 Shit, forgot to reset the table after the news update, now Andy's PRs from yesterday aren't calculated in the change :( |

I guess I'll just have to PR a couple more times between now and the next update then... ::) But seriously, no worries. Many an updater has forgotten to zero the tables and the world didn't end. ;) |

If I remember right, this got brought up before (re: Fenner and whether he should continue to be listed), but I can't remember if it was ever actually resolved. I think there is a lot that is missing/wrong on the site, but need the time to sort it all out. I might take a day in the next few weeks and fix/complete things... Edit: There is a new thread! Check the stickies for the new site issues thread. |
