Did everyone get disconnected in the 3rd GP or was it just me. Pity cause I was bound to win.

Nope, everyone else raced on.

your 18 points might not quite have been enough for you to catch my 39 with only 1 race left.

In general I drove quite well for all three, but I made about 3-4 huge mistakes in the wrong places (each on a different track)
Like Maple Treeway I was a long way ahead, but I fell off just before the last hairpin, and although I was still ahead that was followed by a blue shell and someone with a starman.

Or on Ghost Valley I messed up the start, and caught back up with a gold mushroom, but in trying to avoid the banana Rol was holding I went over the edge.

And the first time on Grumble Volcano I was leading at the end, but I had noticed everyone went faster than me by going on the right split at the end so I took that route on the last lap and fell off

Does anyone remember the results of the first GP? I didn't get my camera fast enough.... It was Rol, me, Tuoyo, ?, ?. WHat order were Heke and Luthor?

Why are people using cameras for the results? Paper and pencil are much more reliable. Because the results don't stay up very long, a camera is usually better but I didn't turn off the "power save" feature so it had turned itself off when I needed it.

Anyway, the last GP was completely horrible for me. I pretty much always ended up driving either in second or third when getting item boxes and always got crap, while Heke and Luthor threw everything they got at me. I noticed you did horribly, 2nd place is usually an awful place to be, I keep getting thunderclouds when in 2nd which is a power-up I despise.... it only has an advantage if you get it early on when people are stillclumped together, but I nearly always get it when I am too far behind you to catch up, and too far ahead of someone else.

Btw, how do you guys drive on Grumble Volcano? In most races I fall at least once into the lava because I jump past the moving platforms but not far enough to stay on the track. I always end up falling in that small gap, happened thrice in the the third GP. The moving platforms are easy... if you do a mini turbo just before the edge (as well as a trick) you can miss them entirely.... but general driving you will land on the end.

Perhaps you are doing a mini turbo too early? or perhaps you are doing a wheelie right up to the edges?, the extra speed from a wheelie might just push your jump too far (and not far enough)


I need Luthor or Heke to reply, I have no idea which one of you was 4th and which was 5th.

Should we start including those who get disconnected?

so for instance write down the points as each race ends, then those who disconnect in the last race keep he points they made. (like tuoyo in the final GP, who had 18 points I think, and was in 2nd place just)

Although I suppose it would be unfair because they are getting a ranking based on only 3 races.

dismiss what I just said.

I am pretty certain (99.9999%) Luthor was 4th and Heke 5th but I will let one of them confirm.

I was going to win Mario Circuit and the 4th track to give me 48 points so I was bound to win.

I find that as long as I don't get a drift boost of the corner before there I never fall off.  If I get a boost then the stupid bike takes a huge jump that sends me straight into the lava.

It was really fun yesterday. Considering i haven't played a single game of Mario Kart for about a month, i think i did pretty well.
The first race started really good for me, it was just the last lap that i blew my race. I drove to a stack of leaves in the end and there was a mushroom behind the leaves, which i didn't notice, that boosted me to drive down the cliff.
Then i was completely out of touch in Ghost Valley 2, either i got dropped down from the shortcut or i drove off the track at the other side.
The last GP went really well, every race (before the last) someone passed me just before the finish for me to end up third and in the last race, i was third, but got the mega mushroom in the last turn, so i shortcutted the turn and finished first.

And i was 5th in the 1st GP.

It's my last day at work before my vacation, so i'm on a trip for at least 2 weeks and not able to join the league in that period. But when i'm back home again, i'm going to beat the shit out of you in MK.

I have updated the results now.

I have 200 points! allthough Rol will almost surely go over 300 for the next 3 GPs.

If you do come back regularly next week Ben, you might be able to hold off etuoyo for a while, he is catching up to you.
