im guessing that a few of you guys play this game so i had a few questions.

the first is wtf is up with the account authentication on the main website? where's this key they require of you and is there really any purpose to being authenticated?

second is how do i setup a buddy list? when looking for servers i see that there is a buddy filter but for the love of me i cant find out how to actually add buddies.

is there a way to search for players and find their rankings?

so who all does play this? i wanna get together and see how you all stack up. i ran across dzjepp for like 30 seconds a couple days back but he left before i could say hi

btw reef i always look for your server but i can never find it. never could actually. is there a way to search for specific servers?

been playing it quite steady lately, fucking loads of fun for a free game.

Their servers have been down for the last couple days, so I haven't been able to play online. Awesome game though.

how do the online racers stack up against the time requirements to get the gold, in singleplayer?

I got all the gold medals in single player in advanced, but the expert mode is tricky

i win 1st on some races, and 5th on others.. its depends on the track..

all in all, its not bad mang

btw, stu, dont reg on there site.. reg in the game and be done with it..

and i play that all the time

some of the custom maps are fucking insane! others are more aggrevating then its worth. :/

yeah. have you nominated anyone for stars? someone said they were going to nominate me and left before i could tell them that the space in my name was an underscore so i dont think it worked for them. now i have an underscore in my name hehe. i nominated this one guy name wh0racle who's fucking ace. him and i were pretty much duking it out for an entire night be he seemed to win the most hence the nomination i gave him.

the ranking system kinda pisses me off though. i'm currently ranked 50ish in the USA and 1500ish in the world so even if i get first on a server with 20 other racers i only get like 8 points

some of the custom maps are fucking insane i'll agree there. though i find that the map authors make their maps so hard that i beat their best times by several seconds haha.

the hardest track for me is one of the maps in the hardest category where you have to jump from platform to platfrom to the finish. each platform is slighty higher than the next and skewed to the side a little bit. fuck i only finished it once. it's extremely short, like a 30 second course.

we should get a game on later sometime i wanna own all ya beaches!

when i play tonight ( if i do anyway ) i will give you a PM...

[Grandpa Stu]

[dzjepp]

Hay! It was more like you that didn't say hi. :icon33:

I said, q3w stu? And no reply.

Yeah, we should play a bit sometime. I'm not that good at the game though, dunno why
