first track of the season, comments and stuff...
checking the top view of zct34, it looks awful... we have 6 difficult tracks in row now...
I wouldnt call this track difficult ;)
It's really an easy one, Akoss... You MUST do it under 1:07-1:08!!! :)
This kind of dual-way track doesn't have a lot to do with driving, but it's fun to have one like this every year. Apart from that I think you should do one-way tracks.
Yes, and these tracks are always with Acura...
?There is no problem with dual way tracks.
You just have to divide the road at a later point than 2nd tile!
We know, Argy! :wink:
btw, what was/were the main reason(s) to create dual-way track again?
Only Cork knows... :wink:
the explanation for using a dual way track is obvious:
Current track: Demonic Desert
Deadline: 2003-01-31-21-00
this track was the first track of 2003, when we didnt know yet how STUPID are dual way tracks. (except the ones i won)
What do I see ?
Argy did 0:58,95 with auto gears ???
Tell us Argy : you made a mistake when entering the infos about your replay and used manual gears in truth.
Or else... mmm... There must be a SC or a trick CTG and I didn't find yet ! But where...?!
Sorry, I'm blind on zct34 :oops: I spent all day by watching to track but still cann't imagine how to reach time under 1:20 :cry: That dual-way bug is a real mystery to me :?
And one more time I'm asking: Zak, what was the main reason to create dual-way track again :?:
tip: check out the liveraces, you can find some useful info there sometimes :)
dual way reason: dunno. felt like this. I know it's buggy, but its still fun and needs some skills.
Past days just wasn't my best days. designed a bad track, wrecked my car a bit, and fell with my bike. +supid exams. this sucks, but who cares? :))
Don't imply that nobody cares, I do at least. And the track isn't so bad really. It's very interesting actually, more than ZCT23.

What a comment from last week... :)

ZAK WAS IT NECESSARY????????
wrecking the car?
of course no, but I just couldnt help it.

about the tip:
when we discussed this thing with Argy to show the trick there or not, it wasnt meant showing it only for you and so give advantage. it was meant to make it public for everyone so anyone could compete with our times.
Thats the competition spirit, not the time hiding.
Of course dont expect from Cork's Crew to publish our tricks every month. This is only the first month, and we just felt like...

Skid feels! 8)
Well, Argy's liverace replay isn't public anymore : the link is dead... :roll:
But CTG had the time to take it before that. :D
But it's not the only SC that can be found : we had another SC to make our 1:04,xx previous times, with a theorical 1:02 possible I think.
To those who can't find it : study Z23. :wink:
edit : with this post I reach the glorious level of Helen's lover :!: :D
Quote from: "Krys TOFF"with this post I reach the glorious level of Helen's lover :!: :D
Congrats! ;)
Anyway, there were two solutions for Zak to make this situation fair: to hide their replays and to publish for EVERYBODY. Krys, Akoss, Diesel Joe and me saw Argammon's live replay. That's why there's only one way now: publish the shortcut on Zakstunts page, not only on the portal's live race section! Be fair with pipsqueaks - like Mingva - without team!
its still there but called live33_Argammon because of a mistake, link is working.
OK, situation become fair. Thank you Zak! :)
Quote from: "CTG"Krys, Akoss, Diesel Joe and me saw Argammon's live replay.
So, it means that the trick wasn't found by you? pfff, then I'm not such big looser :roll: I guess it's the same trick we had on zct23 but I cann't do it without penalty time. And I still think dual-way bug is harmful for funny racing. It's even not a stunts. OK, now going to search for replays :)
P.S. Zak, do you think this kind of track (as times on it) will attract more new faces?
no, I was after a new-years-eve party quite tired, and simply forgot about the two-tile rule :))
To Mingva: 1:04 was without Argy's trick, but 57.15 is containing it of course... :)
Quote from: "zaqrack"the two-tile rule :))
I guess I've seen it's effect, but what are the 2 tiles :)
the tale of the two tiles is titled z23
Dual track... bleeeeeeeeeeerrrrgghhhhh!
Quote from: "Leo Ramone"Dual track... bleeeeeeeeeeerrrrgghhhhh!
Hey Leo, don't you think your post contained too much informations? :P :twisted: :lol:
Anyway, no more dual-way tracks, please!
Prediction:
1. Argammon 52.70 (his own SC, Cork lets him win)
2. Bonzai Joe 53.40 (would be able to beat Arg, but Cork doesn't allow it to him :P )
3. Akoss Poo 54.50 (fast... but not enough)
4. Mingva 54.70 (still strong without teammates - after watching Argammon's replay)
5. Zak McKracken 55.50 (Cork's Crew teamwork, wants to beat me :) )
6. Krys Toff 56.50 (better then me at the moment...)
7. CTG 57.15 (exams, I won't try Z34 once more... :? )
8. Usrin 57.50 (good opening of his 2004 season)
9. satanziege 59.00 (Cork's Crew teamwork)
10. Alain 1:05.50 (or he will race SERIOUSLY, THEN 52.65... :P )
Anyway will be official prediction game this year?
Yeah! Zak, maybe you can create one more forum topic for "Prediction Game" :?: :idea:
Comments about Ctg's comments:
1.First of all everyone in cork is allowed to win and there is no rule saying Bonzai J is not allowed to beat me or vice versa.Sorry this is bullshit.
Second of all ;) I think I and BJ found the shortcut at about the same time so it's not my shortcut.It's just that I decided with Zak to make it public to prevent a completly boring month!
Third of all =P I don't have to much time to race this month because of RLI so I will be happy to take 2-3 place w/o to much effort.
2.As I said under 1,this comment is stupid! But then again I think he will win this track because the car suits BJ better than me and because I don't have to much time :) but then again I don't know how much time he has so we will see.He seems to be motivated and deadly again though ;)
3.Somehow I doubt he will be able to drive 54.50 (no offense). I guess it will be 55+
4.Doubt it : 55+
5.If he finds motivation he could do podium,if not 55.50 will be unreachable for him!
6.Maybe barely? Depends if he races seriously or not.
7.Yeah yeah yeah 7th place with 57,15? I doubt it! should be better. Old understatement trick?
8.No idea about him.
9.Maybe
10.He could race as seriously as he wants and would not drive below 53 seconds.Unrealistic viewpoint again :)
I showed the trick tonight to Lupuszka, and she did a rpl without replay handling in 2 minutes, just to motivate Alain to race!!!! :)
Loop-uszka... :lol: Alain won't take this season too serious... :(
Quote from: "Argammon"Unrealistic viewpoint again :)
Well, don't care my tips! If I say 41 or 17 secs for winning time, then it's my own buisness - don't make disdainful comments. Don't criticize, don't want to seem cleverer - make your own prediction and wait for the real results. Then we will see who was right... :)
HAHAHAH! :lol: :lol: Lupuszka is beating Alain :lol: this is HILARIOUS. Take that Zakstunts Champion... heeheeheehee
:D
What's better to you: dead champion (Roy W.) or weak champion?
Anyway, I have feeling Akoss raced for Lupuzka just to annoy Alain :(
Are you his lawyer? :lol:
Go away, deadman :P
Quote from: "Mingva"What's better to you: dead champion (Roy W.) or weak champion?
Anyway, I have feeling Akoss raced for Lupuzka just to annoy Alain :(
1, Don't compare Roy to Alain...
2, Anyway, I have feeling Alain raced for Mingva last year just to annoy the others... :P
Yep, Alain raced for me last season, and now tired. This year I'm racing for him but my results aren't so good :?
Edit I'm not comparing Alain with Roy. If you didn't understand what I meant: would be better to see Alain away from Stunts after he won champ, -or- to see him racing here just for pleasure?
Does any of this change the fact that the situation is hilarious?
:lol:
I think Alain would agree, by the way
hilarious = funny :?:
Alain and Lupuszka are in love, and Lupuszka wanted to see his boyfriend at the top of the scoreboard again. It was really her who did the replay! She wants to beat Mingva's time, too! It was a quick lap only by her.
hilarious = VERY funny
57.15 is really my final time, sorry Damage guys... :cry:
LOL just noticed the track name, very fitting: It dry to drive and hellish to motivate oneself to drive. :)
Have to go back on the track.
Hi Zak,
I cannot find where to download the dual track replay, where did you put it? I'd really like to know about this trick because I never really heard of it. Maybe then I can compete with my time.
It was not me it was Argammon who shared it with a liverace. here it is:
http://stunts.mine.nu/live/live033_Argammon.rpl
JTK - I sent you a nice demo replay to "jtk@kalpen.de". It's from your own CTRACK24 and is 8 seconds faster than Mark Nailwood's winning time. Also, you should look at the replays from ZCT23 (another dual way track). If you want to see one from this particular track, check Argammon's live replay.
Thanks guys! What would I do without you? :wink:
Well I really tried... one hour long in the night... only 56.60... THAT SHITTY! :roll:
dont exhaust yourself, ctg, because you will see that the winner will have what you lack: fifteen seconds. If you tried hard one hour to do 55, think about what I saw on such a track in one second and drove in ten minutes :) then imagine what kind of time i and several others are hiding and keep that energy for z35 top ten, you cant find the way on z34.
lol... i am not attacking ctg, but anyone would understand that: i only say that: when its about the competition, believe half the things you see and nothing from what you hear, that's it.
Bonzai Joe's new time is a killer!!!! How to beat it?! I will only drive during the quiet days I think, but I don't think I can beat him this month. Hmmmm I'm just too bored so I wrote this totally useless post...
I expected it : BJ improved...
But I'm happy, I raced and beat CTG and so he changed his mind and raced again to reach very good time. :D :shock:
Now, how many pipsqueaks will finish under 55 seconds ??? :roll:
To be honest, that's not important.
The most important thing is that CTG and I are able to find shortcuts, tricks and those small movements that make replays faster.
Last year, I often simply use the SC or tricks my teammates found, and didn't find so many by myself. :?
Now, each time one of us find something, the other try to find another thing to be better.
CTG and I were rivals since I joined this community, but until now it wasn't a really fair fight because one of us may find a SC the other didn't know.
Now, we are teammates and we exchange our replays. Fair fight, harder fight. Motivation is back ! :D
You two are much faster since you teamed up... it's great with more people in the top
krys found the major part of the shortcuts i used last year, and now i miss him. Can i join only the krys part of Damage Inc? :lol:
Argammo found them.
My improvements from 1:04 to 55.55: 70% from Argammon, 20% own, 10% the team... But I knew the possibility of Argammon's trick before I saw it - I thought it's invalid, because XDude drove once in another direction on one of the ACT tracks and his rpl wasn't valid... After seeing Argammon's live replay I did it. He's rpl helped me only one thing: to know that it's VALID. In spite of this fact I wouldn't send that kind of replay without Argammon...
That's not true CTG.
Hmmmm... well, you are right. But I didn't want to mention other sources of help... :wink:
LOL i have to forget TIMI... :) new year, new defeats for looping warriors :)
Are you trying to be funny? Are you trying to speak english??
54.85 - the end of my skills. To reach a better time i need a new trick or learn to use hexeditor... :)
Anyway, that 2 hours try will cause an ugly failure on my next exam (8 hours and 2 minutes left)... :cry:
You have to give priorities to the more important things :lol:
Yes, great time, but you should have studied instead
I feel with you CTG - i made my personally best results when i would have had to learn for my exams instead. It's only natural, but it's impressing how much can be fit into a skull within 8 hours :) Good luck!
CTG how are you doing so fast replays??? I can't catch you this time! skid such kind of struggle-from-start-to-end tracks!!!!!!!!!!
i spent 3 hours on that track since we last talked about it...
My 55.00 took like 30 minutes and my 54.60 took 10 minutes...
Maybe because I didn't redrive the whole track.
CTG:'54.85 - the end of my skills. To reach a better time i need a new trick or learn to use hexeditor... '
So? You got 54,55 already liar ;)
But since you had to to beat my poor 54.60 I had to redrive 80% of the track when I saw your time on the board :/
And you told not to race this month after your 57.15... :P
Anyway, it was really a good fight in the last days. I hope I can reach your current time (54.00 :shock: )- still some milliseconds left... :) The only problem is that my time for racing is not endless and 3 exams are still left... :?
I never said I won't race after I send 57.15.
How many examples of propaganda do we need? Someone says something about person X.Y hears it but does not really pay attention and gives wrong information to Z.And Z believes X told a lie!
Do you understand that? In this community I have seen THAT problem DOZENS of times AND it is getting annoying!
Proof:
Argammon said: 'Third of all =P I don't have to much time to race this month because of RLI so I will be happy to take 2-3 place w/o to much effort. '
Interpretion: Argammon will race but does not think it's enough to win.He never said he stops racing ASAP. [That was at the time Arg had 57.15]
Now Mingva posts in the old prediction topic:"My top5 (i'll change to top10 if it will be necessary):
1. Bonzai Joe (he already have strong time)
2. Akoss Poo (I hope he still has power)
3. CTG (it would be great result for him)
4. Argammon (if he really won't race more)
5. zaqrack (are you ready, Zak? ) "
Wherever he got THAT from.
Now CTG reads MINGVAS comment and all he remembers is that ARG said he would not race anymore.
H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S
Oh, the "Deutschland, Deutschland ?ber alles..." feeling again...
BUT
I promised to myself that I won't make an arguement once more about your so called superiority - that's why I don't continue... :!:
#1 Calm answer:
Let's recall what happened:
I said you posted a lie (not racing anymore) ->
You said I said I would not race anymore also and thus lied also ->
I am getting angry about how rumours spread and am bringing 100% proof that what you said is wrong.And as if that was not enough I also make clear how the rumour spread.->
You don't apologize 'oh sorry I got it wrong,next time I will pay better attention' or 'I thought you said that but obviously it was Mingva'
no instead you come up with some stupid racism which has nothing to do with the issue.

I FINISHED IT... FOREVER!
Wow, a Rotoi! What a surprise! Welcome back! Another driver who'll beat me on this shitty track... :(
Where is alanrotoi? Is he the Stunts Oracle?
Noone knows exactly who the stunts oracle is, but one is tempted to connect AlanRotoi with it in some way or another. :)
Stunts Oracle:
- he has a very strong time
- he is Argentinian
- his team is Meganium Aces High
- his birthday 1980-11-05.
And because there's no Alan Rotoi in the drivers' list:
Stunts Oracle=Alan Rotoi. Welcome back! (change your name back please)
By the way now I'm ahead of the Stunts Oracle. :)
Story: Yes Stunts Oracle is racing for MeganiuM Team. I wanted to add the Power of the Gods in our team and I payed to him.
Reallity: It's me :) but I changed the name because I want to race only for fun and to help my teammates, you won't see strong times from me.
Akoss you will overtake me easy, I won't race too much.
Quote-he has a very strong time
Thanks, believe me when I say it was 30 mins of racing :D So I know you and some others will overtake me. It's ok, these are my "just for kicks" races.
Ghost... Hummmm....
Quote from: "satanziege"Noone knows exactly who the stunts oracle is, but one is tempted to connect AlanRotoi with it in some way or another. :)
The Stunts Oracle is not a real driver.
It's the power of stunts God filling a pipsqueak.
Alan Rotoi was the Oracle some times ago, then Alain 'il Professore' was, then Tsino.
Now, Akoss Poo is the Oracle, and Alan Rotoi is using its name without reason !!!! :x Shame on him.
Let's all hail the glory of the real Oracle !
Akoss Poo ! (for now, except if the Power of the God leaves him. This CTG and this Argmmon guys seem to be new potential hosts of the Oracle power in these early days of 2004... :roll: )
Quote from: "Akoss Poo"Stunts Oracle=Alan Rotoi. Welcome back! (change your name back please)
By the way now I'm ahead of the Stunts Oracle. :)
Nononono Master Akoss Poo !
Don't say that.
Sine November, you proved with your IRC performance that YOU are the new Oracle.
You can't be ahead of yourself. :lol:
You don't understand poor weak pathetic mortals. The Oracle is an individual person and not a gift from the Gods. It is chosed one, I am the only one... I am the Stunts Oracle. Nobody else can be the Oracle. Akoss Poo isn't, nor Alain nor Alan Rotoi, nor Tsino, nor Koenovic...
I wonder what will be Krys-Akoss match this month!!!!
Drawn...
Quote from: "CTG"Drawn...
That's why I'm not telling you my final time I did yesterday.
53.90? :)
Wow it seems to be (one of) the most popular topic(s)... :)
ZSC 2004 will be successful with such a good start!
Hadnt been published the replay to show the tricks, CTG and Akoss poo just couldnt find the shortcuts.
No doubt about that ;)
There should be a special aword to Gutix. He was 6th in his 1st race and overtook several hard pipsqueaks!!
The newbie of the month!
And he won in overall... The newbie of the last year! :)
