[Gaskellorama]

Sweet!!! cheers boss

[Crazed_Dodgem]

slitskin had 1 post
the target had 7 posts

then gaskellorama who has lots of posts so that buggered up my theory, unless...

i have less than 20 more posts than gaskellorama, *crosses fingers*

[tenebra_uk]

[davie18]

Grats to all going, hope you have a great time :wink:

[craigie22]

ok, im reallly confused. What have i done so that i need to be punished?? and whats going on am i defintly going or what?
Sorry im just realyl confused!
you edited your entry

that was sposed to lead to disqualification

[the_gaming_guy]

ok, im reallly confused. What have i done so that i need to be punished?? and whats going on am i defintly going or what?
Sorry im just realyl confused!

you edited your post fool

[leighton]

OH NO!! Atari, i promise all i did was make it bold.! i totally forgot and surely somebody noticed that it didnt change! please!!

[Taxi144]

ok, im reallly confused. What have i done so that i need to be punished?? and whats going on am i defintly going or what?
Sorry im just realyl confused!
You edited your review!! Thats why they are being a bit iffy on you.

[the_gaming_guy]

Ok then *Calls Jury*

[davie18]

I'm sure they'll let him go, since there is still a free space.

[leighton]

please read my post above!! Surely atari can check!! I am so stupid!

[Taxi144]

A bit off topic , but wheres evsky? I havent seen him in ages!

Yeh let leighton goo!!

[davie18]

Yes you are very stupid :laugh:

[leighton]

I cant believe i forgot! I mean come on its not as if im going to choose to be disqualified! I think you can see in the post at the end it has brackets where i changed the size as well.

How about you have a raw turnip for me to eat on the day!

[Gaskellorama]

please read my post above!! Surely atari can check!! I am so stupid!

Hey Leighton i noticed that you didn't change it only because you did 2 edits one you forgot to finish the bolding and 2 you finished putting it in bold!

they have told youyou're going through but you will be punished!!

the last guy that did something similar at Atari was made to watch everyone else play the game for 3 hours before they let him have a go, and that was without food or water!!

[the_gaming_guy]

Tenebras already said youre going on the 1st page

[Diablo_]

Wahey I made it, congrats to those of you in the list also. Tenebra and Understudy, those cheques arrived quick ! ;)

[davie18]

That would be cool.

As I said, i'm sure they'll let you go, unless there was more enteries then maybe they wouldn't.

[the_gaming_guy]

Davie, did you want to go?

[diorbaby]

Wicked, congrats to everyone else, see you all there, better get some practice in. mdr1

Thanks mods for the cruel way in which it was delivered ;) but original... :salut2:

so a right old sess on the final build of TDU then, what a day thats gonna be.

nice one :atari: and Tenebra and Understudy

[NWATA]

Thankyou Tenebra and Understudy i've been looking forward to this for so long mdr1

[davie18]

Davie, did you want to go?
Yes I did, but it would be to complicated for me to go. I live in Sunderland (Southeast of Newcastle), and it would be something, like a 6+ hour drive, and my dad wouldn't take me :cry:

Maybe in a few years when I have my own car, or I could just get the train :)

[Vieon]

And here comes #7. Vieon

Yay! Thankyou, kind mods :)

I feel like opening presents at Christmas.

And we get a date tommorow ye? DO NOT MAKE IT THE 3 JULY... PLEEEASE! tonguegre

[leighton]

[leighton]

oh my god that is so funny!! lolblue: lolblue:

Ill have to tell my tutor tomorow that i will have a cold for the whole of next week!

By the way. this post sounds really sarcastic but i actually found that really funny!

[thetarget]

Thanks for the news.

I just hope the date will fit in with my work schedule ??

Looking forward to checking out the progress since the demo.

[Vieon]

I have a sad trait for satire and sarcastic humour.

[N1PPER]

OMG, i won summin

[leighton]

[davie18]

Nah, faceplates aren't being made until August, unless someones been telling porkies tonguegre

[Marinerman1979]

What> I didn't win??? So I didn't enter anything, and I am not British...but I still should had won!!!



I am totally going to wreck a pedestrian car in your name!!!!

[FlameEmperor]

This forum is going to be empty when you all leave but anyway send pictures and hopefully videos and goodbye :salut2:

[tenebra_uk]

I'm off now to go fencing (as in sword fighting), see you all later!!!
Ooooh, we've got a fencer! I've always wanted to give it a go, I only did a little Chinese sword training. Hopefully I'll get some proper weapons training in a year or two, when I'm strong enough to handle big sticks. For the time being my weapons are my bare hands - I'm a martial artist tonguegre

[Crazed_Dodgem]

most of us will only be gone for the whole day (some even less) maybe we wont be here for a day, but for the weeks following we'll keep you on a drip-feed of information, whilst simultaneously being evil (we gain inspiration from the mods :) )

[Crazed_Dodgem]

For the time being my weapons are my bare hands - I'm a martial artist tonguegre

oh my god, either she forgot about the sledgie or...

SHE IS A GIANT SUPER INTELLIGENT SLEDGE HAMMER OMG!

[Jombob]

Ooooh, we've got a fencer! I've always wanted to give it a go, I only did a little Chinese sword training. Hopefully I'll get some proper weapons training in a year or two, when I'm strong enough to handle big sticks. For the time being my weapons are my bare hands - I'm a martial artist tonguegre

Yeah you should get into it, I can send you the link to the official fencing website which should help you find a club near you!!!

But I don't think they would allow you to use a sledgehammer though!!!

The three swords that are mainly used are called the foil, epee (pronounced ep-ae) and Sabre.

Im fairly good at fencing, at the moment Under 16 wise im ranked thrid in Gloucester and overall out of everyone in Gloucester im 16th. So im doing quite well!!!

[the_gaming_guy]

so you're not strong enough for big sticks, yet you claim to possess a sledgehammer. mmm.

[Gaskellorama]

if only i could see your wrist action when you said the "ooooh" :lol: i was never allowed to do martial arts (something to do with my attention span according to my dad!! that is going back 20 years though) now i'm more likely to loaf around playing Ultimate frisbee than i am to do anything else!! it's a real loafers sport!!

[Jombob]

Yeah, you have to have your attention fully on the fight otherwise you will lose badly!!! And you have to have faily fast reactions as well to avoid being stabbed!!!

[the_trifle]

Thank you all who organised this competition, and a special thank you to all who decided to let me in one minute late lol.

Hey Taxi144, the admins of t-t are actually going to meet tonguegre

Nice.

Will we get PM's or e-mails to let us know exact locations and dates? Also what about identification?

[tenebra_uk]

so you're not strong enough for big sticks, yet you claim to possess a sledgehammer. mmm.
One thing is swinging a sledgy, it's a different story when you have to purposely hold, swing and control a 10 kilos stick - that's how my Shifu (master) trains his students :nuts:
I'm 5 ft 3 and just over 8 stones lolblue:

Gaskellorama, if you have an attention spam prob then martial arts are for you. After being hit in the face a few times you'll learn to keep focussed ;) Hey, Undies is a big ultimate frisbee guy, although I managed to corrupt him into martial arts.

Jombob, please give us the link. I'm not sure I'll ever really manage to find time to do it (I'm aiming to go back to kung fu training 5 times a week) but I'll love to give it a go, fencing training would most probably help me improve my speed :)

I'm lucky enough to be training in the best place ever (http://www.shaolintempleuk.org/stuk/index.html) Shifu is also a philosopher, one day I'll tell you everything about corn and monkeys, and the bad luck of being hit in the throat and die lolblue:

I got a crush on ya, any women that could beat me up and kill me makes me steamy inside. you sound hot with a capital T.

[Crazed_Dodgem]

i used to do judo

i gave it up though, because when i tried using it in self defence against a chav in a fight it really didnt do much.

*chav runs at me*
*i throw over shoulder*
*chav gets back up and runs again*
*another neat little throw and he is back on floor*
*gets back up once again*
sod this *smack - elbows him in back when he was getting up*

why is the word -Cr@ck- filtered?

[Jombob]

Right this is the official fencing website for British Fencing http://www.britishfencing.com/


And if you can't be bothered to find the club section then the link is below!!! tonguegre

[tenebra_uk]

Excellent, thank you, there's one really near home, I might give it a go ;)

[Vieon]

Any news of a date yet Tenebra?

[leighton]

Lets not rush atari for a date. Because im in such a good mood about going i dont mind. Take as long as you want with everything! Even the game tonguegre

[Jombob]

Lets not rush atari for a date. Because im in such a good mood about going i dont mind. Take as long as you want with everything! Even the game tonguegre

As long as they don't go as far as August then i'll be fine, any day in August I will struggle to get to, it's a bit of an inconvenience to try and get to London from Australia!!!

[MclarenSLR]

ummm lets not!! plz no

[FlameEmperor]

I'm 5 ft 3 and just over 8 stones lolblue:
WOW Im taller than you

[the_gaming_guy]

I'm taller and heavier.....lol, i guess

[Bezzers1986]

as long as its not in th etwo weeks after the tenth of july I'll be very happy (I'm in lanzerote and it may be hard to get to london)

[Crazed_Dodgem]

i really need a date for the game

i have no holidays planned but my mum does need to book train tickets and time off work

and i need to 'arrange' an illness so i can get time off school

maybe a belated attack of the millenium bug :)

[the_gaming_guy]

It needs to fit with my dads shift pattern, but things can be arranged if i have a date. Alton Towers on the 14th and i'm going away on the 22nd till the 29th. Then its the Motor Show on the 30th.

[leighton]

:atari: I thought i read somewhere that it will be week commencing 3rd of July. Maybe a little too short notice. I can't go on the 29th! But otherwise im free!

[the_trifle]

Same here, unfortunately a date is of the essence :). My boss is whiging about me having a day off, but he will let me have it providing he can be told asap.

[N1PPER]

i need a date too
so that i can book train and stuff

[Bezzers1986]

do you have any idea when you will know the date, If it is next week (which hopefully it will be or I can't go) I will need to know soon to take time off work.

[tenebra_uk]

As I said previously, all I know is that it's been postponed to week commencing 10th July. I'm constantly pestering but I don't have a fixed date yet. I well understand your needs to know the exact date and I'll keep pestering.

[Vieon]

Thanks T, you do a lot of hard work for us and we're all grateful :)

[craigie22]

everyone on this forum is greatful for all your hard work :)

Even though certain people might not always show it :)

[the_trifle]

Cheers tenebra, at least I know it's now not next week so i can put my manager at ease for my shift pattern next week. :)

Much love peoples. Can't wait to beat all you compo winners in london mdr1

[Bezzers1986]

As I said previously, all I know is that it's been postponed to week commencing 10th July. I'm constantly pestering but I don't have a fixed date yet. I well understand your needs to know the exact date and I'll keep pestering.

:cry: I can't make it then if its that week (thats when I go to lanzerote for two weeks). oh well, never have had any luck with competitions. :cry:

I wonder, would you still be willing to send me a goody bag anyway as I did win the competition? :respect:

[tenebra_uk]

I'm sorry to hear that :(

I'll try to get a goody bag arranged for you ;)

[Bezzers1986]

I'll try to get a goody bag arranged for you ;)

Thanks, i would apriciate it so much if you could.

[FlameEmperor]

Ill take his place but youll have to pick me up from illinois in the US :) tonguegre

[Taxi144]

Im free whenever. Until somewhen in august, then im on holiday.

[Jombob]

Im free-ish in July, 17th would be a brilliant day!

You forgot me!

[diorbaby]

theory for you all..............

the date will be set sfter the max power event, when they have seen how the stands and lan side of things cope.

goody bags,
have you seen what they are giving away at max power in their comps. dont get your hopes up :nono: but non demo players could get a 360 (you never know) its one of the prizes available, demo players could get white psp`s all of us get faceplates or vouchers to get them when they are released. i also see their are final builds of the game up for grabs as well.

assuming all prizes aren`t won at the event.

as i say, only a theory, and i could be way off target with it, but dreams are good.

Source: Atari newsletter in e-mail.

[Gaskellorama]

Dreams are good, but the prize for this comp was to test the game at Atari studios.

the goody bag that's just an added bonus what we get in that to me doesn't really matter!!

But i will wreck the joint if i don't get a slice of cake and a balloon!! :lol:

[diorbaby]

But i will wreck the joint if i don't get a slice of cake and a balloon!! :lol:

:lol:

and a nice cup of tea. before we join the devs down the pub afterwards.

i notice that no-one is talking about acheivments that will be unlocked. thats gone through my mind, we`ll have to ask for info on that.

[Bezzers1986]

i was wondering about achievemtents as well, please do ask (as I am no longer able to go :noooo: )

I am curious as to whats in the goody bag, I hope Tenebra can persuade them to send me one as I won but can't now go.

[Gaskellorama]

I have a feeling this will trun into some kind of mass spammnig thread now (unfortunately) but i'm really interested to see whether a couple of people can drive round the island and talk but once you go out of range whether you lose contact kind of like a walkie talky or whether it really is the closest 16 players around the island that can talk, so say only 16 of us go i would be able to have a chat with somone on the opposite side of the island no problems!!

Also i have to know whether that are any vintage maserati's check i won't post the car of my dreams it's probably in the forum 100 times in various threads, and take a spin round the race track where ever that is!!

And finally, it'd be really good if one of the dev's (not sure if any will be there) or someone who knows the game inside out could show us round the island pointing out things that you might miss but they are particularly proud of!!

[diorbaby]

yep and its all my fault................ i`ll own up now to starting a mass spam.

we`ll have to try that out, i reckon they will give us a couple of tips, lee at atari is the man according to tenebra.

so back on topic, yey i`m a winner.

[Jombob]

You forgot me!

Sorry, I copied and pasted the wrong list! :laugh:

Your on their now! tonguegre

[Diablo_]

Dunno why but I was just thinking with the talking thing, it would be kind of cool if your character wore a bluetooth headset and had their phone connected next to your seat, definite option for a phone company to get their product in the game. Dunno why i thought that, guess it's the hands-free chat.

Anyway carry on regardless.

[diorbaby]

that would be a good idea, private chat anytime, save doing it through the dashboard.

could organise illegal street racing via that, with clan leaders setting them up.

meet me at the lambo dealership, here he is, AMBUSH. :lol:

[leighton]

Sorry, I copied and pasted the wrong list! :laugh:

Your on their now! tonguegre

Thanks!, i was getting worried that i wasnt going!! :atari:

By the way atari, can i have a number please? I hate being the only one without a number. I would like 10 thousand please!

[Jombob]

Thanks!, i was getting worried that i wasnt going!! :atari:

By the way atari, can i have a number please? I hate being the only one without a number. I would like 10 thousand please!

Sorry, your number selected, has been taken! Please try a new one! tonguegre

That was a joke but try a smaller number below 1000

[craigie22]

achievements

vibro said something about achievements in a very old thread. A very Old thread!

All i remember is that there is an achievement for owning all the cars

:):)


i have the memory of a gold fish :)

[leighton]

Sorry, your number selected, has been taken! Please try a new one! tonguegre

That was a joke but try a smaller number below 1000



how about 505!

Was the order the names announced really in order of who annoyed the mods cos i was last :(:(:( i dont think i annoy them. Do i ?

:atari:

[tenebra_uk]

Leighton, you can have 10,000 tonguegre

We still have to decide on your punishment though :bravo:

[NWATA]

Leighton, you can have 10,000 tonguegre

We still have to decide on your punishment though :bravo:

Lol I can see it now, a new thread called.......Ideas for Leightons punishment...

[Gaskellorama]

Leighton, you can have 10,000 tonguegre

We still have to decide on your punishment though :bravo:

you mean my idea of making him watch everyone play wasn't bad enough? :lol:

[the_gaming_guy]

Imagine if they held a big race at the end of the event where the winner got something special......

[Jombob]

That would be cool!!!

[leighton]

Leighton, you can have 10,000 tonguegre

We still have to decide on your punishment though :bravo:


Thanks! Please dont punish me! Like i said i'll eat a raw turnip but please dont make me watch everyone else PLEASE!!


:atari: :atari:

[Crazed_Dodgem]

i suggest tenerbra puts him over her knee and gives him a firm spanking... WITH A SLEDGEHAMMER

[tenebra_uk]

Lol I can see it now, a new thread called.......Ideas for Leightons punishment...
I can see that NWATA is reading my mind, that's exactly what I was thinking ;)

Thread coming now tonguegre

[Taxi144]

Any dates yet tenebra? This is so annoying :cry:

[Gaskellorama]

Why don't you just wait and see, everyone is in the same boat!! constant complaining and moaning isn't going to get anything done fast, we'll know as soon as the mods know!! who do realise that we all have to make arrangements, but if everyone carry's on like I wouldn't be surprised if they just cancelled, because i wouldn't want most of you hanging round my work place with these attitudes!!! rant over!

[tenebra_uk]

I'm sorry, no date yet. I fully realise that this is a problem - it is for me too.

I'll keep pestering.

[Bezzers1986]

This seems really poor on Atari's front, they should have been sorting a date as soon as they announced the competition, they would of had 3 weeks to sort it then!

Thats business for ya, never organised. lolblue:

This is not aimed at you mods, your doing a great job pestering. mdr1

[tenebra_uk]

It's just that the guys are overly busy with all their new products lightbulb

[Bezzers1986]

fair enough, hope you get it sorted soon. I'm eager to find out if they will still send me a goddy bag, I wanna know whats in it, lol.

[Jombob]

fair enough, hope you get it sorted soon. I'm eager to find out if they will still send me a goddy bag, I wanna know whats in it, lol.

Yeah, its looking like they have to send me one too as my Mum won't take me as she thinks there's no piont in taking me if the value of the contents of the goody bag is isn't equel to the value of the trip!!! :cry:
Unfair I know!!! but oh well! If you find out whats in the goody bag then I may stand a chance of going!

[tenebra_uk]

You should explain to your mum that the prize is playing the game before it comes out, not the goody bag. Money can't buy that opportunity ;)

[the_gaming_guy]

Your mum seems a bit of a spoilsport (no disrespect intended)

Explain to her what this means to you.

[Taxi144]

After all this hype i know its going to be in august :(. I always have bad luck with compo's , something is bound to go wrong.

[the_gaming_guy]

I really hope Atari have NOT given up on this competition. :noooo:

Really, its a possibility.

[Bezzers1986]

oh oh oh, if it turns out to be in august I can go! tonguegre

[Jombob]

oh oh oh, if it turns out to be in august I can go! tonguegre

But if it is in August I definatly can't go, im in Austrailia!!!

[Taxi144]

Yeh it seems a bit weird to decide the date after the competition has closed. Oh well cant wait to go :atari:

[Bezzers1986]

thats a shame :noooo:

Last week of July anyone? I'll be back then...

[the_gaming_guy]

NO way

22nd to 29th i'm in Espana. 30th at the Motor Show.

[leighton]

you see what happens when you dont organise a competition correctly Atari!

Sort em out mods, i bet if you had created this competition you would have had every detail ironed out!

[tenebra_uk]

Who's ever mentioned August? eekblue:
Please don't go crazy, the event is still happening, it's just a matter of having a decision on the exact day :)

In the meantime, could you please guys send your name, surname and age by PM to either Understudy or myself? :)

[Crazed_Dodgem]

i dont see what is wrong with the week starting july 10th, i'm fine with that, i'm sure most people are, its just we want to know the precise date so we can book time off work and/or train tickets

[Crazed_Dodgem]

edit:

oopski, double post

[tenebra_uk]

i dont see what is wrong with the week starting july 10th, i'm fine with that, i'm sure most people are, its just we want to know the precise date so we can book time off work and/or train tickets
I couldn't agree with you more, I'm just having some difficulties. Bear with me, it WILL be sorted out ;)

[Taxi144]

I couldn't agree with you more, I'm just having some difficulties. Bear with me, it WILL be sorted out ;)
A woman on a mission there! Go Tenebra wooo!!

[tenebra_uk]

I'm not known for failing. Ever. I might get a bit bruised in the process, but that's irrelevant ;)

[leighton]

i hope this doesnt go like the release date. Delay after delay after delay :noooo:

[Crazed_Dodgem]

stop comlaining, unless you want a worse punishment :nuts:

[Taxi144]

stop comlaining, unless you want a worse punishment :nuts:
LOL Yeh you'll be playing NO handed tonguegre

[leighton]

How is that complaining?? I said i hope. A complaint would of sounded like this ' I cant believe they are taking this long to come up with a date, im fed up of delay after delay after delay'

Get you facts right! :nono:

[craigie22]

everyones avatars are boring now cos most people have the same one!

[craigie22]

that has to be the most annoying game i have ever watch

BLOODY FOOTBALL :mad:

[the_gaming_guy]

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

[craigie22]

:cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
(for all those that don't live in the Uk and are wondering wtf is going on, England were just knocked out of the world cup because a bloody chav named rooney decided to go crazy and stab a man where it hurts with his boot and got a red card.:mad:)

[the_gaming_guy]

And then a cocky git called Christiano Ronaldo scored the winning penalty (After the ET) to knock England out.

[Diablo_]

Aww what a shame. :nuts:

[Crazed_Dodgem]

you think you got it bad, i live about 20 yards away from a football passionate portugese family, they have been yelling 'england are [4 letter word for poo and beggining with 'S']' every 5 minuites, i returned it to them by yelling 'we're less *same as above* than you, even with 10 players'

they have also been listening to some of the most rubbish europop i have ever heard, simply because it is in portugese, and at full volume, myself (and the rest of the neighborhood) are getting very annoyed

ill tell you something for free, Portugal's ability to take a penalty NO-WHERE NEAR makes up for their inability to write a song

[craigie22]

lmao!!

luckily there are only sweeds down my road but they are outnumbered by the chav family next door so if they say anything during the england sweden match they knew they were in for an arguement!

[the_trifle]

Hey craigie be quiet. Rooney was a good chance to win the world cup and he didnt even do it on purpose.. The referee was totally biased as well (Being Argentinian...) We had the odds against us from the start. :(

Who do I have to PM what to? Details of some variety... But beware my mouse is broken at the moment, so I cant get on very much.

[craigie22]

I know he didn't actually do it on purpose but there was a possibility of him only getting a yellow if he hadden't started a fight with the Portugese bloke. Thats why it is his fault

[tenebra_uk]

Keep mourning for a day or 2. Then you can think of me and support Italy next week ;)

[Diablo_]

Wow never took long for the excuses to start, Rooney did mean it, he put the foot in, not left a trailing foot. You could see it when the ref called it, he knew he was caught. The ref was brilliant, certainly not biase, hell he even gave a throw in England's way when it was clearly kicked out by an English player.

Excuses excuses, at least Motty will shut up now about England and maybe even commentate on the game that's playing now that England are:

"They're going home, they're going home, they're going, England's going home ...continue"

[tdu12]

Yes I agree, if there is anyone to blame for loosing the game its Rooney he let his red head temper get in the way. He should of just walked away and they might of had a chance.

[the_gaming_guy]

I have to admit, the ref was fair IMO. Rooney shouldn't have done what he did.

But that Ronaldo, he's actually Rooney's teammate in Man.U!

[Taxi144]

Well atleast were out now , not in the final , i'd say thats a bigger blow. I dont even like football so it doesnt bother me.

[craigie22]

no neither do i. Well at least it means that if england ever got to the final against Germany, people wouldn't have to hide their BMWs and VWs to avoid them being vandalised!

[davie18]

Even if we did go through we would have gone out in the semis for sure. I mean look at the players we would have missed: rooney, terry, owen and beckam (probably). With the way France played against Brasil they would've easily beaten us awell :)

[Crazed_Dodgem]

yeah, but we played better than the team that went through (portugal), with just 10 men for the best part of an hour, imagine if we had 11 players playing at that standard! (or if we were good at penalties dark: )

[leighton]

ok less of the football and more of the date?

[the_gaming_guy]

Less of everything and more of the punishment.

[N1PPER]

i agree with gaming guy
