>Where to watchyoutube.com/user/EpicmathiCytube: r/jpskydrift>WALL OF HONORHere's a list of the tournament's champions so far:>1st editionSlowestRetard>2ndSlowestRetard>3rdcherry>4thDLL>5thDLL>6thKaiser>7thNabana>8thNabana>9thNabana>10thPony Rojo
>IN OTHER NEWS & AN ANNOUNCEMENTNabana and Pony will be allowed to compete in this tourney. 2 reasons: 1st, I would like for all former champs to take part in this edition. And 2nd, it'd be unfair to not give the current winner a shot to defend his title at least. What happens afterwards is up for discussion.The tourney WILL be streamed.A minor rule tweak for the playoffs:The rules will be set from Normal to DYNAMIC. This is to encourage the use of spell cards and avoid racists from ducking away from taking the lead in order to hit their opponent with a LW, especially during the last lap.>THAT BEING SAIDYou should hear this from me directly: this is the last tournament I will be hosting. I gotta go do some stuff far away starting in February, so I won't be able to join races either. For a while at least, but I'd let you know when I am able to come back, or you'll simply see me popping back up in a race one day. So you won't be hearing from my ass seething after each race at least!!!!!!!!It's been a really fun ride and I appreciate everyone who ever joined. I wouldn't like for this to be the final edition of the tourney, so think of it as me stepping down as commissioner or some shit. I think we've laid out some pretty solid foundations for it to grow, or to at least stay as organized as it has been for almost a year. We got rules and a whole ass system in place, so I see no reason for this not to continue especially given the little community we've built, which knowing your asses I think you'd suffer from racing withdrawals if you didn't compete once in a while.So, if anyone wants to step up as host, I could give you the deetz on what stuff I use to run this shit as swiftly as possible and also the password to the /jp/ skydrift Cytube in case you wanna stream it. Just let me know and we'll work it out.
jeez, guess I have to show up then
Filling Van Dough's shoes will be a difficult task. I wonder if anyone is willing to try it?
>>50510686Tourney hype!>>50512906Really sorry to hear about your departure VD. Skydrift sessions really wouldn't be the same without you. Really appreciate the effort and time invested in hosting these and getting the tournaments set up. The lot of us, we've had some really fun times together, haven't we?That being said, let's make this one an especially memorable night as a good sendoff. You fags better show up!!
>ATTENTION!!!MAJOR RULE CHANGE:There will be a change in the format for the playoffs.1v1 matchups were exciting, but proved to have one major flaw: it actively encourages ducking aka bagging. >The fuck is that, you ask?Shrimple: as some of you might have noticed, for some races the racer in 2nd place holds a HUGE advantage over 1st place due to him being the last-placed player, so their spell card gauge fills up faster. This means the 2nd placed player usually has their Last Word spellcard at some point by last lap, and if it's a close race then they can simply activate it and fuck over 1st place. Since it's kind of a design flaw (as the game is desgined to be raced in a lobby with more than 2 players), this issue makes players that know the meta of the mechanics to NOT want to lead and just "bag" their LW until the last minute. This makes for funny yet incredibly uncompetitive racing.Thus, I've decided to implement a much nicer format for the playoffs:Elimination racing>N-NANI??! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?!!!Quite shrimple: The player that finishes in LAST PLACE is automatically ELIMINATED. The rest of the players go on to the next race until ONLY 3 RACISTS ARE LEFT. They will then race in a single FINAL RACE, in which the one that finishes 1st becomes the Champ.>HERE'S HOW IT WILL WORK, OR TL;DR(2 FULL LOBBIES)12 regular rounds > Top 4 from each Lobby go through, however... > Best 2 from each Lobby automatically advance to the Playoffs (A1, A2, B1, B2) > A3, A4, B3 and B4 will race in a single WILD CARD RACE in which 1st, 2nd and 3rd place will go through to complete the final 7 player lobby > 5 playoff races in five different tracks until only 3 players remain > Final raceThis has a lot of positives:>no bagging bullshit>no hangtime in which other players just idly wait for their time to race>no dead times in between races (except for the 15 minute half time break after the 12 regular rounds)>less overall total tourney time but packed with a punch>more action>more drama>more chance for anyone to become the champ>racists are forced to bring their A game from start to finishWatchu think? I think it's awesome and a nice twist to the playoff format, so I hope you share the vision and enthusiasm. If you're still skeptical, just wait till tourney time and you WILL have a blast or I WILL kick your ass.>>50514512Thank you, not to be mushy but I appreciate every one of you a lot for showing up to have a good time. I'll still race till the last Friday of the month so no goodbyes and no dick sucking till then, but this is the last tourney I will host. >>50514464Again, if anyone wants to organize this thing just holla and I'll hand the keys over for a smooth transition!!
>>50515260>Again, if anyone wants to organize this thing just holla and I'll hand the keys over for a smooth transition!!I'm thinking about it, but the problem is that once I gain proper employment, I may not be able to play at the usual time anymore, as it's at 6pm for me
I lost in the last finals and really wanted to reclaim the championship title, but I'll be taking a break from tournaments for a while. I'll be watching streams and cheering everyone on instead.Thanks for always hosting the tournaments, VD. I'd love to play with you again sometime.
>>50515389ayo dis nigga gettin a job lmaooooo

>>50525652is theirs password protected?if no one else joins ours, we should crash theirs lol
>>50525652is it public? We could go over there for a while to fill up their lobby
>>50525658>>50525661Holy hivemind lmao
>>50525658>>50525661I think it might be free, looked that way before they went "In-Game". Shows 4/7 for attendees.
DAMMIT their lobby went down just now lol
OF COURSE they friggin end it NOW
FUCKKKKKK this is bullshit, as soon as I exited the lobby to check theirs out the lobby is no longer active
Ok let's give it 5 in case someone else joins

this is why we read the thread between races
>>50525806Jerk off less (just once a month), draw every day (gotta get back into it, and I owe our winners some art), work out more (I miss being in good shape), and eat healthier.
>>50525813>Jerk off less (just once a month)not physically possible
>>50525812>read the thread in between races>no one says shit>do consecutive races because no one is saying shit>suddenly multiple people post and want to join

Racism
>>50528097I love doing racism with my racist friends in gensou skydrift
Either later tonight or tomorrow we will need to discuss what we'll do for the tournaments after Van Dough is done hosting them. We can take a break for a month or two, still doing casual Friday races, but eventually one of us will need to step up to organize these things if they are going to continue.
>>50528780It is possible that we don't need a singular host for every tournament, though. For example, if someone knows that they will have the time on the first Friday of an upcoming month, they can announce that they will be holding a tournament then. No need to make it a commitment for perpetuity. Perhaps to give things some flair, different tournament hosts could have different rulesets or even different mods installed...?
>>50528801Nta but I like that tourneys are kept traditional and special events are used to experiment with mods and formats, so maybe we could experiment on friday racing and other events other than the tournament
>>50528801i like this idea, but the thing is though, are people willing to go through this?>>50528848while the current tournaments are fine, hosting one thats dedicated to mods sounds fun. this doesnt mean it has to replace the traditional one, could do it once in a while, and i dont know, maybe cast a vote with this?
>>50529017I think if someone wants to host the tourney they should make it clear as early as possible so we avoid uncertainties
What does hosting the tourney entail exactly?
>ATTENTION!!!!Racing starts in about 3 hours!!!!!!Remember that we aim for 14 RACISTS (2 full lobbies)Check out the rules and stock up on booze and snacks while you have time!!!!!!>>50528780>>50528801We have some solid bones already in place, so I don't see any reason for it to die. Plus the 1 year anniversary is in March.!!!>>50529722Quite shrimple. In a nutshell:>make a lobby>randomize the list of tracks to get a race course for the day>announce stuff with time>keep score and update leaderboard in the thread after each race>keep an eye to the thread for questions, suggestions, problems, etcThere's more to each point but that's basically it. It demands commitment from whoever hosts it because you make the thing go on for too long because updating the scoreboard takes too much time and people grow bored and thus the hype dies down, you fuck up by exiting a race too soon and you don't get to see the standings so it has to be re-raced, you accidentally fuck up and exit your own lobby and now someone else has to manage it or you have to move everyone to a new one, if there are qualis you have to add up the times to make the leaderboard of who goes thru to the tourney, and so on. Setting up the stream is another completely different thing.I have some tools and tricks I use to make this as quickly and smooth as possible, so again if anyone wants to host, let me know and I'll share what I know. Or I'll just make a pastebin that anyone can use in case they wanna host.
Also allow me to interest you gentlemen in some fine pre-tourney puzzling https://jiggie.fun/Vyza2X

a bit unrelated, but i found this while looking for the streamhttps://youtu.be/ubDCnLMKCp0?si=duwUdhgHfp5C3eAmit seems like a fun idea
THIS IS THE TRACK ORDER OF THE DAYIN BLUE is the 12 regular phase tracksIN ORANGE the playoff tracksGO VOTE HERE https://strawpoll.com/w4nWWOWdQnATo decide what track will host each of the 5 playoff races (the one with the most votes will host the final race)
>>50530266whoops sorry it is back up, how do I change it to dynamic?
guess is only you and me aki...
>>50530284if you are the lobby host, you can switch the ruleset by pressing Up and Down. however, dynamic rules aren't necessary until the playoffs
>>50530285Give it a bit, some players will join in shortly
Come on racists, we're 5 racists short to get us a full 2 lobbies!!!!!!
>>50530297hopefully, but something i noticed is that we are lacking advertisement, the kissu thread was barren and the other sites havent been notified... damn

>>50530322Aki, Kaiser, Enn
>>50530322and now yoyo, as I have swapped over. the lobbies are now 6-4
should we make this an 5-5 even or is this fine?
REMEMBER to share a screencap of the final standings in LOBBY 2 after each race so I can add the points up and update the leaderboardWE ARE 10 RACISTS AT THE MOMENTIf 9:05 pm est hits and we're still 10, please sopme one from lobby 1 move over to lobby 2 so we're an equal 5 player lobby each
