Would love to guys but will be busy looking after my dad plus working that week, I used to do kart meets at the house but had to cease that a couple of years ago mainly due to dad. If Zarkov is around though im sure he will enjoy a meet up as he suggested. Looking forward to see you all at CDM though! Not long to go now..

Kyle, Eric and myself will be meeting today to discuss travel arrangements and what exactly we're going to do the week before CDM. Regardless if we can all make it to London or not, there's a good chance you'll see some of us (if not all of us) in London soon

I'd love to be able to say yes mate, but our house is tiny, we live quite a way outside of London now, and our cat would sleep on your face.

Sami would be your best bet as he has a massive house with several thousand rooms and snes consoles in it. But he does live in Croydon, which is like Detroit, or Fallujah. So you'd be taking your life into your own hands tbh. I do jest, it's not that bad
Just a couple of chavs roaming about.

I do have the week before cdm off though, so I'd be more than happy to come and hang out with you guys if you do come to London
I'm a bit of a London noob (read not a hipster), but I do love a beer and there are many pubs there. We could also go and throw stones at the swans, and happy families in Hyde Park also.

U do????

Hey guys I'm after any advice people may be able to give me about wifi and 30 day pre-paid phone deals in EU.

I am with Vodafone in AU, my phone may be locked to them, either way I was looking at the 25 pound deal with them that gets 10gB data. I will use hardly any calls or messages, maybe to contact ScouB to pick me up on Tuesday.

Im not worried if another company is a 1 pound cheaper or something like that but is this my best option or should I look into the personal wifi things (the little devices like a wireless modem in your pocket)

Thanks in advance

Super Parigo Kart 3 has to feature smkdan's battle mode balloon hack and my course 2. I would say you are free to use xot and my six tracks as well, but I don't know if you can extract the tracks and if the shortcuts would work on PAL as I spent hours on some of the tracks to get the shortcuts and AI max speed right.

I have a hypothetical question for Sami, Moll and Zarkov.

Kyle and Ben are considering going to London the week before CDM and staying with some family friends for a night or two and there's a possibility that Eric and I might join them. If this were to happen would there be a chance that any of you guys would be able to host us for a night or two? I know that this is extremely spur of the moment and that while we are vacationing you guys probably have day to day shit that y'all have to take care of before CDM but it would be great if we could crash with any of you for a night or two that week and maybe see some of the sights that your town or surrounding areas has to offer (pubs, historical monuments, the town drunk, etc.). No pressure and no hard feelings if this isn't an option and I apologize if I'm coming across as rude by inviting ourselves into your homes. Again, Kyle and Ben are pretty gung ho about flying into London and there's a possibility that Eric and I might be joining them depending on how our financial situations look 2 weeks from now. I know that Eric has some music equipment that he's trying to sell and I'm strongly considering prostituting myself out, haha. All jokes aside, it would be great to hangout with you guys some the week before CDM but its obviously not imperative and we totally understand if this is not doable for any of you Smiley

I went to London three times. I found a 40-man hostel for about $12/night--average is like $25/night. London has a lot of small parks near every Underground subway stop that you should be able to sleep in(not sure of the laws there for homelessness). If you visit Clark in Watford, there is a park near his place and a secret spot under a giant tree(like The Secret Garden), which should give you enough cover when it rains depending on how many bums are already staying there.

He's not even joking either, thats the Grin

part

Drew where will you sleep this year at CDM? The ATM place might still be ok though you stayed at an air b&b last year?

We should make some sandwiches again. Please leave out the shards of glass this time though, it made the sandwich too crunchy... The mustard (muotardé in French?) was good though, i think theyl sell that at the Carrefour express. We are supposed to be going there to play a $20 ebay game for 5 days, and there's me thinking of food Smiley

Tif delivered superb meals though, if he is reading this! Smiley

I would have done the camping/walking around at night bit like previous years, but it looks like there's a room open for 35/night in town. There's another one that is 1km away that will sleep three(two beds) for 70/night.

I just saw a car pull up on my street with four people inside. One girl got out dressed as a ninja. If she were coming from a costume party, she forgot which house she lived in. I circled around the block but the car saw my lights and drove off leaving a disheveled man carrying a grocery bag outside. I thought about talking to the man, but I'm avoiding confrontations only days before the trip.

I do these Military Fitness classes in that same park and quite often run past that tree. It was a great tree to climb, quite challenging but still doable. I regret not going up as high as Drew did though, but that did involve walking across a branch 40ft in the air with no hand holds. Only Drew had the bollocks to do it.

I plan on doing a few rigourous workouts at the campsite during the CDM. Most likely in the mornings. So dont be surprised (if youre camping) to wake up to a grunting, sweaty man bristling with muscle. (lol)

hahaha, too funny guys Cheesy

. Apparently I need to spend more time on the forums.

SO are there any French players that would be able to give Eric and I a ride from the airport in Paris? Our plane will arrive at some point on Monday but I'm not 100% sure exactly what time yet. I'll know the details later today. Obviously we can hop on a train but it would be funner and cheaper to ride with a slice of french toast

Some information on the rules for this year for those who missed it on FFSMK forum :

1) Time Trial : no change.

2) Group Stage for Multiplayer Modes no major changes except the number of "days" is reduced to 14 days (instead of 16 in previous years)
--> 6 shakedown matches (you face different type of level) + 8 SB matches (you face players from your level dynamically depending on your results on previous groups stage matches)

3) "Barrages". The classic 16vs17 barrage match is replaced by a more complex bracket Q1/Q2 as follow :

with Q1 first to 3 wins (1cup in GP)
and Q2 first to 4 wins (2cups in GP)
(then classic first to 5-7-9-9-11 (2-3-4-3-4 in GP) from Top16 matches onwards)
Top12 directly qualified to Top16 playoff
13-16th goes to Q2 directly
17-24th goes to Q1.

This "barrages" system offers top24 a possibility to reach Playoff Bracket.

4) Playoff : no change.

I really dislike the concept of losers bracket and have wasted hours explaining it on the French MB years ago – fortunately it wasn't accepted. But if there's a point where I'm 200% positive when talking about not attending a CDM, that's the one. I'm completely against it.
