3lap only being main chart?
09/24/11 at 11:30:37

I'm not sure if this has been suggested before, but what would the possibility be of having the 3lap only chart being the main chart for the mk7pp?

The reasoning behind this would be:
1. Only about 1/2 the players on the MKW site have flaps in their timesheets.
2. Almost all MKW players not on this site don't play flaps.
3. Online leaderboards will most likely not include flap rankings.
4. It would be easier for new players.
5. Assuming it would be possible to hack the top 1000 times like Maschell did, the players page could include times of people that didn't even join the site, and times be updated automatically.

Also, there would still be a flap chart, but it would be separate.

Please consider this option, and say what you think about this suggestion.

The owners of this site are from older games where flaps have always been considered, so there is no way this is going to happen, so I say just deal with it.

Reply #3 - 09/24/11 at 12:16:24 MKW doesn't follow the norms of the other kart charts, it shouldn't really be compared to . Also using Maschell's auto-update method you proposed would include players outside this community, and would spark a whole lot of confusion about player legitimacy.

This only differs when the speaker has a vested interest, i.e. dislikes flaps, but by reading his post, he doesn't seem to indicate this at any point.

According to the interview with that Japanese guy, Wuhu Island will only be 1 lap. But no, flaps have always been (and always will be, for that matter) a part of PP competition. Taking it away after playing them since the early 90's would just be stupid.

Yeah, but that shouldn't be a big issue... No 3lap time on this track and that's all. We've discussed about that already anyway.

Reply #22 - 09/28/11 at 11:19:05 I would agree with it too, but I hesitate because it means that one time is worth twice as much, in AF ranking etc. to race than other courses, and although I suppose this does make kind of sense because it's so long, I'm still wary about having it done like that.
