I like the idea.  I'll play if I don't end up at a bachelor party.

Well....is 7:00 or 7:30 Eastern time too early for you guys?

I figure a 7 - 7:30 start time based on Wiz's guess on time should give ample time to run the series with periodic potty breaks and still leave time to rest before Charlies Midnight drive-in.

If there is room, i'd love to take part!

edit: that time works well for me, and since i usually have fridays off, any other time should work just fine as well.

It was a great idea and format Ronin!  We will have to try again at a later date.

I had a lot of fun in the two races I managed to complete (had a few "disconnected from lobby" messages during practices and once during the London race), had a great battle with Dawson in the first race and managed to hold Wizard and Baked off almost the entire 3rd race until I made a silly mistake and let them by but it was some great racing :).

I'm with Dawson / Wolfpack, it's a great idea and a great format too so hopefully we can go at it again at a later date without being smited (besmote, smitten?) by the Lagnostic "gods" of Lagtonite :).

I didn't think about it until later, but might have been better if it was held at HostTuna's lounge, with a strong host. Even though we switched hosts last night, we were still in Ronin's lounge, and that may have contributed to the lag.

Also, I saved the short replay from Tokyo, and took some pics of the lag carnage.  :o

Thanks for coming out guys. I am extremely pleased with the turn out, had a lot more people show than I anticipated. I'll sit down and do some reconfiguring and make some small amendments to the concept and re can revisit this one later. One  issue I did think of during the whole thing, When I got a hard disconnect last night that took me almost half an hour to get my system restarted, We should have secondary and tertiary hosts to decide to start the race and keep things moving and not stagnating should the host have a problem. With something with the duration this was scheduled for I don't want to rely on the auto start so we can do the give and take thing should some one need to pinch a loaf between races. I could not help but to think yall should have gone ahead and run Tokyo without me, but I never said anything to indicate it was acceptable either in the thread here or out in the room. I'll have that remedied the next time we try this. I was really looking forward to photographing these races I was so disappointed with the lag I barely got anything from the couple that we did get run.

I didn't think about it until later, but might have been better if it was held at HostTuna's lounge, with a strong host. Even though we switched hosts last night, we were still in Ronin's lounge, and that may have contributed to the lag.

Also, I saved the short replay from Tokyo, and took some pics of the lag carnage.  :o

Now that you mention it, I had originally planned on using HostTunas lounge, but with the frustration with the seasonal B-Spec race I completely forgot.
