when i'm around...

basically, I work from 6-2 or 8-4 CST in the AM so I am available anytime from 4 to roughly midnight. I've read times others are availiable and one thing i have noticed is that noone has specified whether the times are AM or PM unless I didn't look close enough. Sorry to be picky, but this IS the internet and everyone is on a different schedule and there may be a few red-eye gamers who race at 4 in the morning (and nothing wrong with that,been there) so please state whether availibility times are at night, morning, etc. please. Once again, look forward to see some of you on the track.

Also, I wrote my name in katakana so if anyone goes into Friends and gets me as an opponent , there's a good chance its me(its 4 letters when written in Japanese). Also, if anyone else wants their name in Japanese who doesn't read hiragana or katakana, let me know and I'll try to hook you up.

Later.
 
didn't think of something

there are also several internet sites for the japanese thing. books too. Anyway if anyone needs or wants any help, I'll be of service.
 
HAHAHAH! FINALLY! I have Mario Kart, what a bleedin awesome game it is too.

my friend code! 305002 515020 (my name is SatanSam)

ADD ME! my sister isn't home yet. its brilliant. Ive already got a win lose ratio of 1-4 :D ... yea I went on Rivals and they paired me up with a guy with 19 wins and 7 losses! like that was fair with my 0-0 ratio!

anyways. very surprised with the router business. it was so easy. Just had to manually connect, add the DNS and away I was. I even get a signal in my room! DS in ad-hoc only gets me through a wall before losing signal but im on a different floor and 4 walls away from the router!

oh i love this. just add me. oh and I spent ages on my avatar. added anti-aliasing and everything. god i love pixel art.

/me excited. if you didn't gather :D
 
New Weekly Racing Hours

Monday 10-11 PM EST.
Wednesday 10-11 PM EST.
Friday 3-5 PM EST.
Saturday 10-11 AM EST.
Sunday 10-11 AM EST.

After looking at Nerdboy's and others' suggestions, I updated the Weekly Racing Hours. If anyone else has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them.

Also, Nerdboy's suggestion of a separate website was a good idea. I'd really like to help out with this, but currently I am swamped with other projects. Maybe I'll just have to focus my time better while I leave my DS idling online waiting for friends to appear. :)

what would be really great, is if we could have our own web site! that way we could have a special email address to email to sign up, and we could move this thread off the forum once it gets up to a zillion pages. It would be easier to schedule races, too. I'll see what I can do. Even a .Mac homepage would work!!

Concering a possible website: I fully agree. It would be much more useful and easier to update than a forum thread. Not sure if you worked on it yet Nerdboy.

Seems to me that we got to settle on a name first. So unless there are objections, I'll pick my favorite from the list so far ^_^:

MRiocart Kart Racing League

Congrats Nerdboy. It was your idea.

Just in case we end up using a .mac group, I've created one to make sure nobody else picks the name:

groups.mac.com/mrkart

What do you guys think?

P.S.: Sorry I was not online more often in the past few days, I went into a crazy Dragon Quest VIII playing rage. ;)

So should I go to the site and join? I don't have a full .Mac account (just an iChat one), but will it still work?

I haven't been able to make a site yet. I, too, have been really busy.

Think so:

FAQ - Group Member

Q: Can PC users belong to .Mac groups?

A: Yes. PC users can create a .Mac ID (and get a free trial membership) just the way Mac users can. The .Mac ID is theirs to keep and use for .Mac groups, AIM and iChat chats, the iTunes Music Store, and the Apple Store, even if they don't join .Mac when their trial memberships expire. PC users will be able to view and create group web pages, send and receive messages, and view the group calendar. Some PC users with software that has support for webcal protocol or webcal://URL can also subscribe to the group calendar.

Q: If my .Mac membership or trial account expires, can I still be a member of the groups I've joined?

A: Yes, you can continue to use your .Mac name and password to access and use group web-based activities, including reading and sending messages in the group message center. The From: address for your messages will be the group address until you choose a new email address for group membership in your profile page. To reach your group, go to www.mac.com and select Groups on the .Mac tab.

Q: Can I join a group with an expired .Mac ID?

A: Yes. Even if your .Mac account has expired, your .Mac ID remains valid for membership in .Mac groups. Once you are invited, log in with your .Mac ID and accept the invitation and proceed to the group page. To receive mail from the group, click the Edit Profile link at the bottom of the group home page to add or choose an alternate email address. Your group correspondence will be sent to that alternate email address (once you have chosen it as your address for that group).

Q: How do I join a group?

A: You must be invited by the group's owner, or referred by someone who's already a member of the group.

Looks like you can join a .mac group on "invite" only.

Feel free to PM me with you .mac email address.

I'm pretty sure you'll have to get the free trial .mac account. (www.mac.com). Once you register, and join the group, I'm pretty sure you can switch to your regular email address.

raggedjimmi, I can't get your code to work, either. And you shouldn't have to be online for us to enter your code. I've entered a lot of other people's codes, and haven't had any problems, even though I've only played a few of them. Please double check it for us. :)
 
I'm in!!!

I finally got a wireless connection that works with the DS.

My friend code is 227693 318932. See you guys on the racetrack!! :D

BTW, I'm currently on EST time, but I'm normally on the GMT-6 timezone.
 
I've already messaged sRobert on the subject, but I'd love to sponsor you guys on my site, www.mariokartdsoutpost.com. All admins in your league would have full rights to my board. I also have a live chat program. And can specifically set one up just for your league. Anyone may contact me on the matter at:

AIM: Swissexe
EMAIL: aaren.hofferth@gmail.com


Thanks to all! I'd also like to join! :)
