Hey everyone, Acklay here.

I was just wondering this coming weekend (23rd) how many people would be up for a "race" of sorts, where all runners of this game hop on a Skype call and stream while running this game? We can discuss a time, and if this weekend isn't good for anyone, we can talk about times and such.

Would be nice to see it, then any other new runners wouldn't feel scared about getting into this game and just to have a hell of a time like a good old LAN party but over the web.

You can count me in, at least

Yeah I could probably do this too, pretty sure I'm free.

We could use our Mumble server instead of Skype if people wanted to as well.

Nice to see this gaining some speed, I have a TeamSpeak server available for us if we want to use that, or if we'd rather mumble because we're all about FOSS here, I'm all good with that. Since you guys are all in the same timelineish area judging by the location you've specified, we'll have to work out a time, at the time of me posting this it is 3PM, I am GMT+12, so yeah, what times would suit peeps

I'm in. Just get the details of the teamspeak or whatever and I'll be there <3

I'm good to join. I gotta run PS2 so I dunno how well I can do [refer to leaderboard :P] But I am up for it.

Not.The.Cookie.Monster is my Skype, add me, I'll set up a TeamSpeak tomorrow night and such, and then on Friday/Saturday I'll do one last check in, post the TeamSpeak info here, then as people join we'll wait for everyone that checked in, once that happens we'll start the race :D

I've never run the game before, but sure, count me in.

So we've got vaguely UK and AUS people so far (in terms of timezones - please don't kill me). If this is kickstarting weekly races again (which I hope it will), we ought to try to include USA if possible, though I have no idea of Bill and LP3's timezones.

Best time I can think of is 1pm GMT on Saturday (2pm in London, 11pm in Melbourne, 9am in Washington). Sound roughly ok?

This website is pretty cool for timezones - http://www.worldtimebuddy.com/?pl=1&lid=2643743,2158177,5368361,5&h=2643743

I'll have to make sure I wake up earlier in order to make it, but sure, sounds good for me. :D

11pm works for me, so count me in. :)

I wont be able to do it at that time. The earliest I would be able to do it is possibly noon EST but more likely 1 EST. Which is the same time as Washington DC.

I can't do that time this Saturday as I have work 1-6 so I might have to sit out this week </3

2PM London == 1AM My Time, but I'm fine with that, I finally got some well needed sleep last night.

Anyway, I guess we have 2 days till it, I got some friend request on Skype last night, I've setup the TeamSpeak server for everyone and will send out my IP to everyone on Skype tomorrow, (We're using TeamSpeak because it's more HQ than Skype for those who are going to be streaming)

Alright, it's Friday here, so I am guessing it'll be Sunday my time to be Saturday your time, Foreboding Mango, can you shoot me a Steam message to let me know when you're ready to go for UK time zones?

Just clarifying, the time I said is in just over 12 hours. I don't know if that helps with this forum setup, but oh well

Welp, I can't make it. Urgernt IRL things means I'm going to be away for a few hours, meaning I can't do the race. I intend to attend the next race though.

if awake and i feel like doing it, i might do it, and i've only practiced the first world

If I'm actually awake at that point I'll run alongside everyone up to Marge then call it quits because I'm not happy with anything after it, plus I'm still behind on learning the coin routes.

I'll just use this to see how well I remember everything instead.

I feel you Snerck_, but evne though I am labeling this as a race, don't think of it as if you come last you loose, I am wanting to do these to inspire new people that want to run the game, or so people can sit it out and watch for routes and such, just as a social way to run the game :).

Hope things go well by the way Jamania and I'll look forward to seeing you in the next race.

It's all good Derek, you'll probably still beat my Lisa :/ I suck.

Finally, Mr Mango thanks for confirming this, looks like it'll be about 12amish my time, I'll be on Skype, so in about 8ish hours either everyone join my TeamSpeak (125.239.191.68) or if you'd rather Skype my username is Not.The.Cookie.Monster, majority wins, so if more are on TeamSpeak, you'll have to join it as well, if more on Skype the same goes.

P.S: To people who are wondering why I'm not doing Mumble, the setup is a tad to difficult since TeamSpeak is fast clean and easy to know what's going on, not to mention permissions are already configured if I need to ban or kick anyone being a dick :). Sorry for the wall of text, look forward to seeing ya'll in 8 hours :D.
