Saturday night races (9:30pm EST)

Starting this weekend we're gonna do scheduled bingo races

Example of a bingo race:
http://speedrunslive.com/tools/oot-bingo-v4/?seed=330325

First to get 5 in a row wins. We will all use the same card, randomly decided at the beginning of the race.

We will use http://speedrunslive.com to race, get in the IRC channel #speedrunslive at irc.speeddemosarchive.com
If you don't know much about IRC you can join using this: http://speedrunslive.com/channel

This is at 9:30 EST, every Saturday! :) Join up

Cool idea, I should be able to make it most Saturdays.

since these are being scheduled maybe lots will join 20-30 people would be really cool

10pm est is like 3am gmt right? which probably means that most people from the uk can't join :(

excellent, bingo is by far the most fun oot category

also that card you used for an example has a ton of child only rows ive never seen that before

yes he is right german can´t join too why not a little bit earlier like 6pm or 8pm EST

It pretty much rules out all of Europe, we could have, say, a 10pm GMT race for Europeans?

What's GMT? I think it is Great Britain hour --', why isn't France or others country?

Greenwich mean time in france is GMT+1 or CET

This is going to happen every saturday night right?

Yes, it says so in the first post.

You know that everyone on the east coast is on EDT, and won't switch back to EST until November, right?

technically,

It's not like we Europeans couldn't get together and do exactly the same thing at e.g. 21:00 GMT or something, even if I personally would prefer sundays at around 18:00 GMT. It might also even out some of the version differences, seeing to that many of us probably play at 50Hz..

You shouldn't be playing at 50hz if you set your console region settings up right

Then will you help me? I changed the region on my Wii using DOP-Mii and Anyregion changer but it STILL goes at 50Hz...

And don't hate me for using pirated WADs. I've already bought the PAL version like 3 times.

Dumb question, but are you using the North American WAD? The PAL WAD will run at 50 Hz no matter what your system's settings are, at least to my knowledge.

I'm using aleckermits injected 1.0 wad and I'll try the official ntsc version without making it region free today/tomorrow. But I guess this isn't the forum for this, so feel free to pm if someone have suggestions.

Injected 1.0 is banned anyway, so get a different WAD.

next one is starting in one hour.

Indextic is the true winner. he goes hard for 7 hours and doesnt quit. I quit because i am weak

I've decided to make this my first race  :)

I'm still rather slow so I'll be right up there with indextic and everyone else who isn't pro  :P

I would really like to join in this stuff and have with you guys but there is only one problem, time when race is gonna be. Sometimes I spent much time in job so I can't wake up that early and then go sleep again or sleep few hours and then race. I wish time would be different when race is or something :)

we originally chose the time because Zaccio said he could join at that time but he has not been joining. Maybe we could change the time so more people can join :)
