Cripes! I think my heart just exploded with excitement and now there's blood everywhere. I've lurked these races for the last two "Tourneys" and now I can possibly jump in? *drool drool drool*

Just got paid and got back from Otakon. BOOM! Grabbed Trackmania Stadium and blazed through the track all day. Sent in at the last minute, I believe. I hope. Maybe.

I grabbed a ton of Skins from the Steam Workshop and about half of them worked. I'm not sure what the deciding factor is, which is a pity because the Sanic skin looked silly enough to love. Side note: I'm glad I got mine to work. Something satisfying about watching my Rainbow Dash car disintegrate every time I hit a wall.

The track feels frustrating. I stepped up knowing there would be challenge, so I'm not going to whine too loudly, but so many of my runs go perfect until the second time through the forest, then BAM, right into a tree! Whole time was screwed up. Okay, 2 more hours then I submit what I got. I don't care if I'm in last place again.

Questions about submission via auto-website-thing. (Please forgive my literal-mindedness.) When choosing a skin do you... a. Want a link to the webpage the skin is accessible from? b. Want a direct link to the skin download? c. Want just the name of the skin if it has already been uploaded? d. Want a mixture of a, b, or c? e. None of the above? I'm asking cuz I wanna stick with the Rainbow Dash skin. Tis awesome.

Shoot. I'm not at the bottom any more. How am I supposed to maintain my rep? Anyway, I like Your Mom better than the last track. Your Mom is pretty dirty, tho. I could get used to riding Your Mom.

ViggyNash posted:Does it need more signs, or would a replay do? A replay might help. My problem witht he track is it feels very disjointed. One obstacle doesn't lead neatly into the next, giving those new to the track a labyrinthine feel. I never actually finished the track because I couldn't find my way out. The nail in the coffin was the loop-d-loop leading...somewhere. I couldn't be sure. Often I'd take the spin and suddenly end up at the beginning of the track.

Having only purchased Stadium for this competition, I am unfamiliar with Both Canyon and Coast. Are the differences cosmetic? Why are they worse than Stadium?

We've come too far to give up on our tires so let's race a car 'Till the track catches fire! I'd be faster in a truck! We crash hard, I'm like "gently caress!" My skin looks like a duck! We're drivin' to get lucky! I'd be faster in a herse! We got that Entropist curse! My best time is my worse! We're drivin' to get lucky! *repeat 20 times*

I've submitted Your Mom for examination. Your Mom was a bitch, especially at the end, but I think I beat her well enough for now. Also, I'm tired of these puns.

Sometimes (and I don't understand how) I'll hit these moments of clarity and shave off an extra second or half second. It usually happens when I'm skyping with friends or listening to a radio show or something. Makes me wonder, if I had more time, how far I could push it. Edit: Oh. I have an extra day? *tsk* Nevermind. Double Edit: Replay submitted. I'm just out of free time for this track, but at least I made gold.

I have surprised myself with how fast I just just went. Now that I'm out of time to play and submitted my replay, I feel I've surpassed my expectations. Now all I have to do is sit back and see how everybody went faster than I did.

Entropist posted:It's always hard to estimate exactly how terrible you guys will be... Thinking about adding a new challenge and come in second to last on every track. 9_9 Not only will I have to control how fast I go, but I have to guess how slow the worse person is and beat them, but not beat the third to last. If I'm gonna suck, why not do it with style?

CVE posted:Since I created that monstrosity I'll give everyone the same tips I gave upon submitting it: First of all it's possible to do it from the checkpoint so speed shouldn't be an issue due to the boost panels. You approach the jump on the light gray path e.g. either outer side of the ramp and at the moment of the jump you should bend inwards to a certain degree (practice makes perfect here). You'll jump up besides the checkpoints and basically fall in. Don't try to do it directly as you will crash into the CP. For visual confirmation, if you do it from the right side and have the proper angle on the jump your car's tire or chassis (when using the default model obviously) will obstruct the Maniaplanet symbol between the two signs on the backdrop. CVE, I'm taking a collection for this voodoo doll for... no particular reason. Would you mind making a small donation? Some hair? Part of a security blanket, maybe?

Welp, congratulations, Goons. You've created a track that made me yell at my wife. Five years and I never yelled at her before. Marriage in jeopardy because you had to make a frustrating track. I hope you're happy with yourself. Replay submitted. Don't care if I come in last. I now have to trade track time with getting flowers and sleeping on couch time.

I'm pretty surprised how close the C-Class was to each other. Even in the previous seasons, I'm used to the cars being so spread that you can't see one end of the crowd from the other. Good show, everyone!
