Title: Bios!
Post by Tom1 on 08/29/12 at 05:05:12

Clark has said that all players who make the bracket will have a Biography.

If you already have one from the previous KC then you will automatically be able to use that again (they're on the speedrunwiki).

If you dont have one you will just get "he/she plays XYZ" and its upto you to write your biography.

Do you not have a biography? Do you need help? Do you want someone to write it for you? Post here for tips, advice and help!

Will you be updating yours? If so what with?

*** EDIT 2: This post was a response to the original first post, which has been modified since then ***

A lot of people have a bio from the previous contest(s) on speedrunwiki.com:
http://speedrunwiki.com/2010_Karter_Contest
I imagine it'll be a matter of updating and creating some new ones, but I indeed wonder if this will be done or if we are supposed/requested to do it ourselves?

EDIT: ninja'd

For everyone who is in the KC, but doesnt have a bio, il make a page up with something like 'This guy plays MKSC' or whatever. It will be up to them to elaborate on themselves.

Il also add a link to everyones bio at the bottom of each page. Also, if you dont have a bio you can make one yourself if you dont wanna wait for me to do it.

can someone change MKW to MK7, or tell me how to register an account to the wiki? otherwise mine’s already perfect

edit: actually “played MKDS and MKW, currently plays MK7” would be more correct

I just saw my new Bio, very blank as Clark said (but thanks for creating it <3 )

I'm utterly puzzled at how I am going to fill the space, some people have soo much detail (or witty comments). I have no idea how I will be able to match certain peoples bios :D

Ok so I went through who is in the KC, and only 5 of you needed a new bio page. Everyone else has one. Just go here: http://www.speedrunwiki.com/Main_Page and search your name to find your bio. I have created a new page for the people who needed one, so if youre in the contest you will find your bio.

I've still got my bio from the 2010 Contest, although some of the ranks are outdated (I'm now Emperor F in SMK and Expert D in MKDS, but other games haven't changed)

I cant edit my bio :( Stupid restrictions...

Then again... Its near perfect XD

Post by Meaks on 08/30/12 at 00:53:10

Is there anyway we can edit our Bio's or can we just send Zarkov a wall of text to do it for us?

Title: Re: Bios!
Post by Tom1 on 08/30/12 at 02:59:51

iirc if you register you can amend it. I think i can amend my old one.

^ That's not fair, I too remember having registered and updated my own bio for a previous contest. If it's not possible to register, then it's not possible anymore; some settings must have been changed then.

If anyone's bored and is willing to edit my bio to something better, here's the link: http://www.speedrunwiki.com/Christophe_Charignon

Reading good bios is always fun, but I'm way too lazy to put in the effort for writing one.

If I've read the dates right, he said that an hour before the results of his play-in match were announced. :P

As for me, I have no idea what I'm going to put in as a bio. I've always preferred to let my accomplishments speak for themselves, rather than listing them for everyone to see. But on the bright side, I won't have as much to write as these karting veterans. :D I have little doubt that I'll be knocked out early on account of only being associated with MKWii, but I'm just glad I got nominated in the first place.

Links to all your bios can be found here (http://www.speedrunwiki.com/2012_Karter_Contest), aswell as on your bio page. (Scott has mentioned to ngamer (the owner of speedrunwiki) that anyone who doesnt have an account on there cant edit their bios. Hopefully he can sort something out in regards to this. If its just not possible to fix this, then you can PM me what you want your bio to say and il edit it into your bio)

I think he disabled new accounts to avoid the spambots (there used to be 20+ spam edits per day).

If anyone wants to make changes to their bio, you can send me a PM telling me what to change and I'll change it for you.

Post by Michael F on 08/31/12 at 13:15:46

I just realized that I'm able to create new accounts on Speedrunwiki (since I'm an admin). If anyone who's in the karter contest wants an account, just send me a PM and tell me what you want your username and password to be, and I'll create an account for you.

Nice job, Fried. Il add it to the info thread. I only had to make 4 or 5 new bios, so you shouldnt have to make too many accounts.
