But you don't have to register again if you've already registered.

I got 474k on my third time through. Let's hope it stands. I love this race

Sir Skullcrasher · Jan 30, 2009, 11:43 PM // 23:43

I'm at work atm, what is the top score right now?

Yuri got 483,437. She's so good!

Between the varrying lag and people playing to win (and not time), it's becoming impossible to score high (managed 470k only once, no SRB in 20games+ !)

Hopefully Regina Buenaobra reads this again, but if you make leaderboard with an account name and change it after getting on the leaderboard, will it affect anything? Thanks.

And right now I have a 475k, but haven't been able to race due to my internet lag (1k+ pings constantly)

Have fun guys!

good to hear...i always loved me some beetle racing.

the lag was always horrible, and the scoresheet was dominated by people who synced in the unused euro districts and had a group or 8 friendlies that wouldnt hurt eachother and take turns getting max scores, whoever was lucky enough top get a few supers in a race...

each year i got around 70th place in the first few days, and was pushed off by the few top scorers.

im glad that others will finally get a chance to get a mini this year =) (even though the prize is strictly cosmetic and therefore better off for the ladies)

Gotta agree here, everyone is going for wins and not time and I can hardly catch a break. Guess I'll have to try later at night for a high score.

Yea, the whole run pretty much depends on your kd in the beginning, and your combo at the end. You need no kd in the beginning and at least 1 echo+SRB combo.

Anyways, good luck to everyone.

I'll just quote this from wiki

Quote:

Sync enters are sometimes organized between players who wish only to grab the fastest times and not impede others.

frenzy12 · Jan 31, 2009, 05:34 AM // 05:34

Syncing is a very rare thing, guys. Think of how rare an echo + SRB is. Now think of how rare syncing perfectly is. Now think of the combination of the two.

Pretty rare.

wait so u get mini greased lightning if u get top 100?

Scheda · Jan 31, 2009, 04:27 PM // 16:27

I just don't get why the race and the Rings of Fortune got to be open the same time. I got an average ping of 350ms at the beginning of the event and now that everyone's afking it climbed up to 19'000 which makes racing kinda impossible to do - can't actually even go straight.

StormX · Jan 31, 2009, 05:01 PM // 17:01

I second that. I don't know that Afking is causing the lag, but the constant rubberbanding makes it near impossible to race.

IattackU · Jan 31, 2009, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I managed to get a 469k and a 468k today, but seriously its almost impossible to get on the top now. I'm gonna have to agree with both of you that lag is causing a major problem. Half the time at the beginning I'll be ahead of them then get rubberbanded back behind the person in second.

Apollo Smile · Jan 31, 2009, 05:03 PM // 17:03

I've had a couple good runs, but most races amount to people playing "Twisted Metal".

That's 3 times I've disconnected and twice I've gotten dishonor for failing to load. =(
It's hopeless

shadows of hob · Feb 01, 2009, 10:41 AM // 10:41

Played for a few hours, but I rubberbanded pretty much all games, except for 2-3 games, which i got 471+.

Bug John · Feb 01, 2009, 01:21 PM // 13:21

wtf are you dishonored when you resign ?
