Question:
What about a bronze match?
Option 1: yes
votes: 3
Option 2: no
votes: 1
See the concept here: http://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=2992.0
Planned timetable:
1st-7th December: quarter-finals
8th-14th December: semi-finals
15th-21st December: final
Optional tracks: you can choose from 15 tracks in QF, 10 tracks in SF and 5 tracks in the final (will be built/picked if we have 8 pipsqueaks)
Optional cars: 28 different vehicles (11 original cars, Melange, Speedgate, McLaren, GT3, Ferrari F40, Lotus, Ford Ranger, Superkart, Nissan Skyline, Xylocaine, Ikarus 260, Toyota Corolla, Toyota Sprinter Trueno, Porsche 911 Turbo (Zapper's), Skoda Felicia Kompressor, Knight Rider, Lada Niva Comeback)
It needs 8 pipsqueaks - however, 4 of them would be out after the first week. Are you in? ;)
Participation list (will be updated time to time):
- Dreadnaut
- Bonzai Joe
- Duplode
- Chulk
- Afullo
- AbuRaf70
- dstien
- CTG
In now, out the first week! ;D
I'll play, I guess.
Three potential players so far, come on. ;)
Count me in as well! ;)
I'm pretty sure I'll be out in 1st round (final exams are during that week) but I'll need some distraction, so I'm in!
AbuRaf? Afullo? Rotoi? SuperBrian? Usrin? Zakracken? Anybody else? (Akoss Poo declared in PM that he won't participate.)
Some details and modifications:
- Power rankings will be based on the WRL standings (after Wuhan's deadline). If an old superstar appears from nowhere (Gutix/Ayrton/Biker?), the WRL leader can be in a huge trouble. :D
- Tracks: a little modification to make my life a bit easier, 15 or 20 tracks in overall, the unused tracks will remain in the pack for the next round. Some retro tracks will be applied, too.
- Website: under construction. ::)

I just realized that Chulk is not on the WRL at the moment. Might be a CHU-CTG quarter-final? ??? :o

CHU without rank (no races in the last 5 months)
Two slots are left. I hope ABU will join (why not, he's one of the most enthusiastic pipsqueak), I guess the other one might be... hmmm... SBR? USR? DST? (or ROT/ZAK?). The tree is quite uncertain with that, but it's almost sure we will have Duplode vs Afullo and Chulk vs CTG in the quarter-finals.

Alguien me puede explicar bien de que se trata esto...?
Desde luego, que si es una carrera, ME ANOTO...!!!! pero no se como es, me gustaría ver algo más explicitado, para no cometer errores durante las carreras...
Desde ya MUCHAS GRACIAS a quien se tome el trabajo de explicarme bien como es esto....
Ya saben que a mi me gusta mucho correr en STUNTS....
AbuRaf: it will be a cup with 8 pipsqueaks and special rules. Duels of the quarter-finals will be based on the WRL positions, the 1st plays with the 8th, 2nd vs 7 th, 3rd vs 6th and 4th vs 5th. The speciality of the event: the pipsqueaks can decide which track and car they use (I will provide several tracks and you can also choose from may cars, see in the first post). The lower ranked pipsqueak of the duel can decide about the track or the car, while the higher ranked will pick the other parameter (if the lower ranked pipsqueak choose the car, the opponent can pick a track).

"Aburaf: es una copa con 8 participantes y reglas especiales. Los duelos en 1/4 de final se basan en el WRL (el ranking "oficial" de Stunts) como cualquier eliminatoria: 1º vs. 8º, 2º vs. 7º, etc.
Lo especial del evento es que los corredores deciden que pista y auto utilizan en sus duelos. El corredor con ranking mas bajo elige primero, una pista o un auto, lo que prefiera. El otro elige la otra opcion (si el primero eligio auto, el ultimo elige pista y viceversa)."
Gracias CTG por la aclaración.... ahora voy entendiendo un poco más como será la competencia. Lo que ocurre es que como tengo que traducir d
el inglés al castellano, no me es fácil darme cuenta como son las cosas... espero que sobre la marcha, no tenga problemas...
Gracias Chulk por pasármelo al castellano, ya que así ahora lo entiendo bien.
CTG lo hizo en inglés, pero al traducirlo al castellano, se me complica para entenderlo...
MUCHAS GRACIAS DE NUEVO A LOS DOS POR LA ACLARACIONES...
Waiting for the 8th applicant... ::)
Track project in progress. There will be damned hard and easy tracks, with various length. It can be a tactical weapon to choose a decent circuit (e.g. pure right corner track or icy corners against certain opponents :D).
20 tracks are ready (some of them are retro circuits or never used oldies), will be published soon.
Still waiting for the 8th pipsqueak...

Tracks are published, check http://unskilled.stunts.hu/cc2014 !
Dstien is in!!! ;)
So, the duels:
DUP (#2) - AFU (#7)
DRE (#3) - DST (#6)
CTG (#1) - CHU (#8)
ABU (#4) - BZJ (#5)
From now, it's your turn to choose the tracks and cars.
Firstly: Afullo, Dstien, Chulk and Bonzai Joe can choose a track or car. Please sign your choice here - so your opponents can choose the other parameter.
Secondly: Duplode, Dreadnaut, AbuRaf and me will choose a car or track, depending on what did our opponent pick
One more thing: replay sending rules are the same as in USC. Just publish them here.

AbuRaf: quarter-finals from 1st December to 7th December 2014 (midnight). Replays should be published here, just like in USC.
Afullo, Chulk: please make your selection, as soon as possible!
Dreadnaut: it's your turn to choose a track!Duplode: prepare for a quick selection, right after Afullo's choice.
I was thinking about Iceland myself, but I'll go for Tata at this point! :D

Choice of other duels is not binding you. Theoretically all the duels can be with the same track (if you want) - the only limitation is that you cannot use that track in the next rounds.
Btw Tata is a great choice. Mr. Töff was the master of crazy tracks.

Okay.
If Afullo and Chulk do not make a selection in 24 hours, their opponents will (and the other parameter will be randomized).

It seems neither Afullo, nor Chulk made a selection (there's 5 hours left for them).
DUP: prepare with a quick choice in the evening. The other parameter will be randomized.
Chulk vs me: I've already signed to Chulk that
- if he takes a track, I'll pick Corvette (his favorite car)
- if he takes a car, I'll choose a short track where the number of right corners is higher than the left corners'
If he won't use his selection in time, I'm going to pick Corvette.
Why would you do that? It seems patronizing.

Why? I don't hate Corvette. What's more, I've won the last two Corvette tracks in ZakStunts.
At least we will both enjoy the race.
Don't worry, if you and I will both qualify to the semi-finals (25% according to the maths), I'll choose a pure left corner track or Melange. :D

Time is up for priority selection. Duplode, choose a car or track, please. As I told before, I take Corvette versus Chulk.
About the randomized parameters: I've sent the list of cars and the tracks to dreadnaut - with a certain order. I ask the sender of the next message - except DRE and me - to say two numbers between 1 and 20 (the first for DUP-AFU, if Duplode picks a track, the second for CHU-CTG), and one number between 1 and 28 (for DUP-AFU, if Duplode picks a car).

1 to 20 for DUP-AFU
1 to 20 for CHU-CTG
After that, we can finally start the tournament (actually two duels are already "running").

Yes. If I won't be a finalist, the last duel can be different from this aspect, to provide some space for the right timing. (Public replays can avoid any kind of misuse by the competition manager... ::))
First run. Millgame is a claustrotrack with very few aerials. F40 ended up being a reasonable car, as it is not too slow (which would make it boring) and has decent handling.
Okay, guess it's time for extreme time-hiding in the semis then 8)

Well, if I won't qualify the semis, we can turn to sending replays in e-mail - if you want.
Corvette and right corners will eliminate the good old CTG. ;)Btw this tournament is just an experimental one. If I'll be alive (same time, next year), the rules will be changed based on this year's experiences. E.g. picking a track/car could be more fluent with a selection tool, placed on the website.
Here my first replay for Iceland in DRE-vs-DST. Good fun with Acura!
Sorry for the absence, but the only choices I was able to do in the last days were about which thing had to be done first. Where can I download millgame.trk ? Both internal and Google searches failed to find it. :(
EDIT: found :)
EDIT2: my first replay. ;)
I remembered!
Otro replay Iceland
My in-acura-te replay. ;D
I guess Chulk forgot about the deadline - he's a notorious absentee... ::)
(see USL battles)
Sorry, I just couldn't find the time to race. The online course I was talking online for work have some navigator platform problems and everything had to be done in a rush during the past week. Final exam got changed to last Friday (it was supposed to be next Friday) and, to make things complete, I got a stallin lot of work to do before next Wednesday. I am really, really sorry as I've been wanting to come back to racing regularly since a few months (Alan knows, we've talked about it).

You know me so well ::)

???
I've chosen LM002, because:
- it's a pretty boring car, staying mainly on the ground - so corner speed is the key instead of stupid aerial Stunts and magic carpets
- we gave more or less the same score in 'Car ratings' (BZJ 6/10, CTG 5.5)
- I have to spare Melange/P962 for the final :P (kidding, you will win this duel)
However, I still give 60% for your victory.
First step (57.40)
I'm not complaining about the car choice and I'll do what I can :-) But I've said many times that it's my least favourite car (although that may have been before the Melange was created ;-)).
Sorry, I heard the deadline whooshing by, but I was doing stuff all yesterday and didn't find time to race :| Anyway, nice lap from Dstien! Have fun with the rest of the competition ;D

With assistance from random.org, my choice fell on the track Left. Fasten your seat belt, Duplode.
Good choice! And by "good", I actually mean "a track which I would not pick in a hundred years"! :D As for the car, I will follow the theme of the other semi-final with a tame, predictable choice:
Lotus.

I have just voted yes.

So, there will be a bronze match. Beware DUP/DST, we will meet there! :) (Unless BZJ forgets to send a replay.)
I think dstien has great bronze chances because I don't care at all if I'm 3rd or 4th in this cup (and I voted no for this reason). Winning would be interesting though :-)

Let me remind you for a serious obstacle: you have to win the semi-final first. It won't be a cheap victory, I can promise.
I know!
You're probably the best pipsqueak at the moment and I'm in my worst car. How could it possible be easy? :-)

False. Maybe the most addicted. (Results are mainly depending on the time you spend on the track - and not on your skills.)

Maybe you are, but I don't like LM002 either - it's slow and boring. It was just a tactical choice to avoid crazy tricks and to focus on corner speed.

I agree and I have no chance to match you at that. But we'll see what happens when I start racing.

Don't forget: I have a published replay already. :D
54.95
So let's get going. The ride isn't really boring, as long as you can tolerate all those corners. Somewhat longer than I expected though - the compact layout of the track map fooled me.

Yeah, it was an intentionally misleading design. ;) :D (What's more, I didn't like it either, so I'm happy to see it's out.)
I'm beginning to realize I may not win this one. ;D

It's one hour from now, right?

Okay, guess it's time for extreme time-hiding in the semis then 8)
Here we go :)
Great lap, well-deserved victory, congratulations! :)
Final: Duplode - Bonzai Joe
Bronze match: Dstien-CTG
Choices? BZJ and DST can choose first.
Thank you!
Also great lap from you, and without anything to go by.

I had no time and energy to work on a final shot, but I'm pretty sure I couldn't do such a fast lap.
We shall never know.
For the final, I choose the track: Pursuit.
Thanks for taking the time to organize this contest, by the way, it's proving fun, for me at least.
(apologies for not choosing the Elephant track. It's too big :))

(apologies for not choosing the Elephant track. It's too big :))
After that, Pursuit was perhaps the nicest choice - I like the idea of finally completing ZCT76 :)
As for the car, I'd like something fast but not wacky. Since this is
not an IMSA-style track,
P962 will fit perfectly. Alea iacta est!
My name is Guybrush Threepwood, prepare to die!

After the previous round's track selection fiasco I'll pick a car instead this time. Since the Niva shape remains unreleased (http://forum.stunts.hu/index.php?topic=2235.msg52904#msg52904), I'll go for another evergreen:
Lancia Delta Integrale HF
NoRH: 37.80

Evergreen, huh? I'll say a track which is as old as Lancia in Stunts: Default... erm... I mean the mirrored version,
TLUAFED. ;)
And here comes the first shot: 1:20.65, auto gears.

Good choice! I thought it would be a lot of fun to race Default backwards. It just didn't suit my tactical purposes.

I have to admit that Tluafed was my secret preliminary choice against you for any cars. Relatively slow right corners at the beginning - left corner rampage in the second half. :D
However, Default in any version is always a good platform for tight races.
Technically, there's no significant difference between auto and manual gears on this track. You can reach 5th gear already in the first flat part - after that you mustn't shift down.
1:19.70, some magic carpets are necessary to win this one.
NoRH: 36.90
NoRH: 36.85! 36.80! 23.55!
Oh wait, which car? :D
Porsche 962. Funny, I dreamed that I somehow completed the track in 23 seconds.
Pathetic warm-up lap.

Hah. Shaved off 33 bytes. Will give it another try...
Hmm.... I haven't been able to improve since my first racing day.

No, I mean my RH time. I guess I could improve the NoRH.

Dunno why, but I thought you and Duplode had an agreement about a pure noRH final.
Well, it could certainly look like that, but our NoRH-battle at the beginning of the month was purely spontaneous. I did consider the idea though :-)

How idealistic :)
Throwing in the towel with an additional -49 bytes and +1 smashed sign. One day I'll have to step through the replay buffer to figure out how you all round those corners at such high speeds without drifting aimlessly off course.
Congratulations to BJ, Dupe and The Big C with podiums. And a special thanks to CTG for organizing this eventful event. I find this public replay submission format very motivating compared to the usual blind racing against god-like opponents.
18 minutes left...
Well, I might as well publish this. YesRH: 34.05

Not bad indeed - mine's a mere 35.35. Congratulations BJ!
Well what would you know...
Thanks a lot. It's been 6 years since my last competition victory.
Congratulations to Bonzai Joe, Duplode and dstien! Great laps! Also thanks for the other participants - I hope you will have more luck with car/track combos in 2015. :)
Also thanks to CTG for running the Cup. It was fun to take part of a special event again!
It was a fun way to race. I liked the weekly deadlines.
