meet in #zelda @ irc.speeddemosarchive.com

you can also use the ZSRirc on the front page.

We will be starting around 11pm, tonight(Sunday) EST
Hope to see you there

I can't get on IRC, i guess you allready told people this 1000 times, but what is it i need to Download to acces?

download mIRC
or go to www.mibbit.com and use that
or use the zsrIRC

Believe it or not, this goal is possible without explosives, I just made a full route for it. It is much, much slower than the explosive route though, so I wouldn't recommend it at all. I'd post it but I'm afraid cosmo would castrate me.


Screw it: http://pastebin.org/439495 <-- Disclaimer, this route is awful if you want to win. It has some hard tricks, and is much, much slower than an explosive-using route. Nothing from this route should be copied in the real race.

There were some huge winners and losers and everyone had a change of +/- 20 or more...except I hardly went anywhere lol.

Ordinarilly I wouldn't leave something like this, but I had to wake up early the next day, so I had to put my priorities in order.

I do think races are a good idea and hope there can be some more in the future.  How often do you usually do this?

usually there is one or two a day (ive only competed in 1 but i have watched most of the recent ones) but they are not posted in the forums very often, and are usually held on a whim in #zelda. just hang out in there and keep an eye out.
