Dec 1

• Three and a half years... The time needed to put someone new on the list of ZakStunts race winners, proving this is still not an easy job to do. But now we have a new winner, who did a wonderful job steering his Acura around :) the track: SuperBrian! Huge congratulations!
  Another rare event: we have a draw on the top of the scoreboard, because Duplode had the exact same time - but different driving line - as Brian, both securing 12 points - but SuperBrian taking the +2LTB clearly identifies him as the real winner of this track.
  CTG came as third - also in the Acura, as everyone else.
  Despite the low number of participants, the race was intense throughout the month - thanks for everyone taking part!
  Now on to the last track of the year... The proposed rule change was rejected so some racers will have a good chance to win a lot of extra bonus points on the last track of the 2012 season, designed by Duplode.
  Enjoy the holiday, and don't forget to fasten your seatbelt!
• Friker
  19:58?
• Zak McKracken
  upload started, validating replays
• CTG
  WOW! CONGRATULATIONS TO BRIAN!
• Zak McKracken
  scoreboard final, validated, site updated, newspost in progress
• Duplode
  Congratulations Brian, you have made it! This is a special moment, and it was great to be up late in the night to see it live
• CTG
  Corvette powergear alert
• CTG
  Btw I can't wait to see Brian's replay (sorry DUP, but your co-victory is not that exciting from the aspect of the expected results ).
• CTG
  (I can't watch them because I'm at work)
• Duplode
  Small "bugs": 1. In the Z136 replay pack there should be two replays labelled "01" 2. Krys should be listed as a member of Damage, I suppose 3. Z137 is not in the scoreboard page combo box.
• CTG
  Suggestion for the next season: draw should be decided by the time the replay was sent (earlier "priority date").
• dreadnaut
  Let's put an upper limit.
• Zak McKracken
  thanks, all bugs fixed!
• Friker
  norh
• CTG
  Let me arrive home and I'll fuckin' kill you all!!!
• Anonymous
  this has some potential...
• Friker
  Show us your Corvette
• SuperBrian
  Thank you very much. Thats a nice comeback after a summer with no motivation. I knew I had a pretty good time, when I entered the quiet days as the leader, but with so many hidden times I wasn't sure if my 50.35 was enough. I will also like to congratulate Duplode, next step must be to win alone. ;-) Right now I only have an old laptop to play on at my parents place, but here's a testlap.
• CTG
  The easiest 3 points of my Stunts career.
• Krys TOFF
  Congrats Brian, well done !!! As for my time, it was a 10-minutes-made one. Stunts works better with DOSBox 0.74 than 0.7, but fine tuning of cycles and frameskip remains to be done properly for my current computer.

Dec 2

• Alan Rotoi
  Congratulations Brian!! )))
• CTG
• Friker
  CTG, don't be a coward. SuperBrain - congrats
• CTG
  I checked the dictionary about the word 'coward'. It said nothing about people having real life, plenty of work and serious medical problems.
• Friker
  I am sorry if it was insulting for you. I was thinking that you have 1:25.00 in your pocket (I still think that).
• CTG
  Not yet. I have an easily improvable 1:29.85 (---> 1:28.00)
• Friker
  So improve it easily.
• CTG
  Why? LTB is not running at the moment.
• Friker
  I want a peaceful christmas time.
• CTG
  Btw 1:25 seems to be a weak time. Skyline is good for 1:10-1:12 (Ayrton mode).
• Friker
  I think 1:22 will be a winner. Ok, maybe 1:18..
• CTG
  TOP5 will be able to cut the bridge corner part by a huge bug jump.
• CTG
  Friker: please come to Stunts chat for a minute, I would like to ask something.
• CTG
  (not about the track or tactics)
• Friker
  how?
• Friker
  I go ice skating, I will be back around 19:30 so I'll come there
• CTG
  http://forum.stunts.hu/chat/
• CTG
  I won't be here. But see PM at the forum.
• Friker
  congrats dreadnaut - you break my noRH time
• dreadnaut
  Thanks, although my replay is full of RH —we shouldn't compare the two

Dec 3

• Bonzai Joe
  I just noticed that SuperBrian on :-o (shared 1st place, but winner is the one who sent his replay first). Nice driving, Brian. Welcome to the history books :-)
• Bonzai Joe
  Here's the missing w: "w"
• SuperBrian
  Thank you very much. Now I must try to live up to the new expectations.. ;-)

Dec 4

• CTG
  crymachine
• Friker
  give me that 48 hours and i leave you alone
• Friker
  these*
• CTG
  In normal case I would give you that 48 hours. But since Gutix wants both of us having less than 2 days LT... (btw since I can't/mustn't/won't play at work and I have many exercises and I go to sleep quite early compared to my old habits... maybe I shouldn't fight for LTB)
• CTG
  But I guess you are watching the site fluently or at least in the last 2 minutes of each hours. I don't have time for this (this moment is an exception). What about a deal? You give me that 48 hours and I help you to win your first race ever.
• CTG
  (I have limited number of 0.05 steps on my pendrive)
• CTG
  Now let's work.
• Friker
  It doesn't have to be win - only make sure I'll finish before you deal?
• CTG
  ok
• CTG
  it won't be that hard anyway
• CTG
  ('cause you don't know my overcrowded list of programs for the next four weeks)
• Friker
  ok so i give you 48 hours now, then 48 hours for me, then you'll take the lead and let me finish before you at the end?
• CTG
  Sounds fine but you forget the Gutix / Biker / Duplode factor.
• Friker
  btw - did you know that a finish line's pillar is not solid at their red part?
• CTG
  (or even Super Brian, he's good!)
• CTG
  Is it new for you?
• CTG
  (hahaha, you made a huge jump at the end, understood)
• Friker
  that's why i let you in the lead NOW. i need only 1 point difference between our LTB (so if you take your 48 hours and i don't it's ok) or to finish before you (to be honest i don't believe in that but i give you a chance to show that you're not such liar as you seem to be ).
• CTG
  I think the liar period finished in 2009, when I gave up the serious racing and ghost creation.
• CTG
  Btw check the analysis at the Forum and you will see: you don't even need to finish ahead of me to catch the silver medal.
• Friker
  hmm and another interesting fact - this skyline car is very hard to take off with a magic carpet - and in my replay it's done twice..
• CTG
  /me: 0
• Friker
  hmm.. i expect we'll finish 2nd & 3rd or 3rd & 4th - in that case you are one point behind - hence the 1 LTB point diff. in that case i will have the same amount of points even if i'll be 3rd in overall season ranking. so whole deal is for nothing - simply - i have to finish before you..
• Bonzai Joe
  Jesus. I almost feel motivated to race now, just to prevent any of you two from getting any leading time.
• CTG
  You can't overtake us, Bonsai Tree.
• CTG
  Friker: check that table once again. There are many other possibilites. And I guess my final replay will be enough only for 6th-8th place.
• Friker
  Ok, I always find pleasure in your replays, so come on.
• CTG
  Have I ever declared that Friker is my ghost?
• CTG
  (if I say that, would you please disqualify him? )
• CTG
  Before I forget: Duplode and Gutix are my ghosts, too.
• Friker
  Well, now I am seriously thinking about some role-playing.
• CTG
  You can't act like me, 'cause I'm a real asshole.
• CTG
  Duplode? Biker? Gutix?
• Friker
  hey! slow down!
• CTG
  Hey, don't move!
• CTG
  The most annoying thing you can do now is to put 48.02 on the scoreboard, showing "look, I can still brake even less".
• Friker
  yes, i can brake even less. every time you post something faster I have to do something faster too.. (btw I don't know how I overtake you after 48 hours of leading. :-/
• Friker
  CTG - please, do not send anything better unless someone overtakes you. make it easy for both of us. others - I don't know how intentionally was this track designed for skyline but it is simple perfect - I would like to see BJ's and Biker's laps (maybe Duplode's - but I think he has his ~1:20 replay already)

Dec 5

• Duplode
  @Friker: The main vehicle for the pre-release test was Melange
• Friker
  So you have ~1:20 replay already, don't you?
• CTG
  The only man on Earth having already 1:1x replay is you, Mr. Tomkovic.

Dec 6

• Friker
  Not really.. I think I'll stop at 1:22. I cannot think about better line that I have now (I think that buggy jump before ending section is impossible) and my estimation is that winning time will not be better than 1:18 (I bet on 1:20). 1:20 with Skyline means 0:57 with Corvette.. Ayrton/Duplode? Anyone? btw I must learn working with trackblaster.
• CTG
  I'll quote your last post at the end of the race.
• Friker
  Ehm.. I should add: with Skyline.
• CTG
  Don't toy with me! (Almost published my current best... almost...)
• CTG
  Theoretical question: what would you do if I publish something like 1:21.50?
• CTG
  (I don't have 1:21, not even 1:22)
• Friker
  I would started to hate you. First time a person betray me it's very crucial. I don't trust this person anymore and in this case it will be the end of any partnership with you.
• CTG
  Understood.
• CTG
  (But after your 48 hours, is it fair to do it?)
• Friker
  After my 48 hours of leadership, yes, it is fair. Still, there is a part in which you should ensure that I will be better than you but whatever.. I'd rather see a nice replay than my win - so BJ, Biker etc. where are you?
• CTG
  Because 47.99 looks a lot cooler.
• CTG
  Don't worry, the priority replay is yours from the aspect of LTB.
• SuperBrian
  "The only man on Earth having already 1:1x replay is you, Mr. Tomkovic." What about the old dane ManOnMoon? Btw I cannot play Stunts on a computer before monday..
• Friker
  CTG - I know. SB - That's only good news 48 hours of LT ensured.
• CTG
  Where is the biker?

Dec 7

• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Alain...!!!
• SuperBrian
  Happy birthday Proffessore!
• Friker
  Happy Birthday, Alain.
• CTG
  Alain left several years ago...
• CTG

Dec 8

• CTG
  time is up
• Friker
  what is your current best? O.o nice top gear
• CTG
  I don't remember, but Stig has 1:23.70.
• CTG

Dec 9

• Friker
  very nice
• CTG
  Hey! ZCT137 is not an exclusive Friker vs CTG battle, please send your replays!
• Friker
  It should be said that this is not a battle at all. But yes - send us what you have (ok not half-made vette replays.. )
• CTG
  Friker: if you react on everything I say in less than 10 minutes, people will think you are: a, really my ghost; b, fuckin' addict.
• Friker
  a - am I not your ghost? b - well, I'm an addict, I'm not fuckin'
• CTG
  Happy Birthday, Chicken in the oven!

Dec 14

• CTG
  Duplode, Bonzai Joe, Biker, Gutix and Rotoi should kick our ass soon - else this race will be incredibly boring.
• CTG
  do it guys
• CTG
  !!!
• CTG
  Yes, I want to force you all to beat me.
• CTG
  (weaklings!)
• Friker
  I want to beat them. Not to win in a race with no participants (or one - two). btw CTG what is your best now?
• Bonzai Joe
  I just realized that the Union Jack is a mix of the Scottish, English and St. Patrick's flags.
• Bonzai Joe
  What about Wales?
• CTG
  Still the same, Friker.
• Friker
  which is? BJ: http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichier:Flags_of_the_Union_Jack-fr.png ?

Dec 15

• CTG
  (just to pretend a race)
• CTG
  the winner will be under 1:15 with skyline
• dstien
  The winner will get more than 10 points.
• Duplode
  The Welsh flag is too awesome to be remixed
• CTG

• Duplode
  (just to pretend I'm in a race)
• CTG
  Nice time hiding!
• CTG
  Friker: could you send in 46.8 or something like that? It would be cool to see you in this pretending game.
• CTG
  Btw Duplode: you are in a race! It's not a shame to be behind the two Central European superstars.
• CTG
  (kidding)
• CTG
  Friker: do you live in Pozsony?
• Friker
  :-/ No, I live in Bratislava.
• CTG
  So yes.
• CTG
  Have you ever been in Györ?
• CTG
  And where's your 46.8?
• Friker
  I don't have 46,8. I have not been racing since the last time post. I've never been in Gyor. I was in Budapest in september 2011 (2 days trip, it was funny ).
• CTG
  Forum is down. Or only from here? ("Bad Request Error")
• Friker
  Too much spam from us. Even forum cannot handle it.
• CTG
  
• CTG
  Of course you have 46.8 and even 43.8. Don't try to mislead the old CTG!

Dec 16

• Friker
  Here is 46.7. Could I have some leading time, pls?
• Duplode
  Excuse me, but how do you win leading time without leading?
• Friker
  we have an agreement - according to that i cannot overtake CTG in this part of the month . (btw my question looks really silly. )
• CTG
  Friker is Argammon.
• CTG
  Btw yes, but not now.
• Friker
  O:-)
• Friker
  Hey, dreadnaut! Make another 20 sec leap toward us.

Dec 17

• CTG
  Zak, you old bastard! HB!
• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Zak...!!!
• Friker
  Happy Birthday!
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, Capitain!

Dec 19

• CTG
  LT: 321, remaining time to deadline: 301 (quiet days: 253), advantage against Friker: 273. Take it if you want to - but I ask you to do it with your best lap (no braking).
• Friker
  Ok. I probably can do only 1 sec (+epsilon) better than this. So others - come on and race
• CTG
  Friker will finish under 1:15.
• Zak McKracken
  Thank you all

Dec 21

• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Dragonfly...!!!
• CTG
  He isn't here, but in his name: thanks!
• CTG
  Impressive time by AbuRaf.

Dec 22

• AbuRaf70
  Gracias por el comentario, CTG...
• Friker
  thanks for a skyline replay, Zak.

Dec 24

• dreadnaut
  I'm on it -In other news, Merry Christmas!

Dec 25

• Duplode
  Merry Christmas, ye good people!
• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Banzai Joe...!!!!
• AbuRaf70
  FELIZ NAVIDAD...!!! para todo el Mundo Stunts....!!!!

Dec 26

• Friker
  Small steps for us, big leaps for you. Keep improving! (Actually 4 sec improvement is quite big one.)

Dec 28

• CTG
  Hey Freaker, you spend too much time here!
• CTG
  I won't improve my time.
• Friker
  really?
• CTG
  Really. I won't give you the feeling that you won in a real battle.
• Friker
  the worst win ever! aaaaaa... I will cry!
• Alan Rotoi
  dreadnaut now if from Italy...
• CTG
  it's time to brake less again
• dreadnaut
  I'm travelling
• Friker
  thank you

Dec 29

• Planned year-end schedule:
  Final scores update: 1st of January evening GMT+1 New season start: until 4th of January evening GMT+1
• CTG
  For what? No new laps for ages, using the old one.
• CTG
  last lap
• CTG
  (before quiet days)
• CTG
  Friker 1:13.30
• Friker
  congrats
• CTG
  I don't buy it.
• CTG
  Friker 1:12.50
• CTG
  (Duplode 1:12.40)
• CTG
  Or changing to Corvette/Speedgate?
• Friker
  very nice, Duplode.
• CTG
  Will you comment all the replays in 2013?
• CTG
  (that's really annoying)
• Friker
  hmm.. that could be interesting challange. only your replays, ok?
• CTG
  hahaha renata again
• CTG
  Friker: please don't!
• Renato Biker
  I couldn't play this month. So, let's go Friker! hahaha
• CTG
  

Dec 30

• Friker
  RB: I said - my (reachable) goal is 1:20.00 and that's not enough to beat Charlemagne the Great.
• Renato Biker
  Friker, you said something like that on C133, but you could make so better than me, let's go man!
• CTG
  Friker: don't ruin it in the last days!
• CTG
  Biker: I know that he has 1:12.
• CTG
  Rotoi: you are a dog!
• CTG
  (black tea overdosage)
• Friker
  at this level the whole track is only one big quick lap without any space to "make art" so it is only about speed. and that is charles' great side. btw I've made similiar trick to that in zct133 but w/o any improvement. :-/ so i have my final replay waiting to send it.
• CTG
  suck my mriya
• dreadnaut
  So if my track is only *half* a quick lap after an initial dragging along, am I doing it wrong?
• Friker
  CTG what does your nickname stand for? dreadnaut - I don't understand but definitely you are doing it wrong. I wanted to express - the track sucks at high speed - it is much more funny at mid speed (somewhere around 1:25-1:30).
• CTG
  Crash Test Guy, Congrats To Gutix, CoTanGent, Czech Travel Guide, Connective Tissue Graft, Cytosine-Thymine-Guanine, Coupled ThermoGravimetry... whatever.
• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Reiger...!!!

Dec 31

• Friker
  hmm.. that is a really strong time :-/ congrats
• Friker
  blah
• Friker

  blah

• Friker
• CTG
  which one?
• CTG
  -59.20?
• CTG
  -59.20?
• CTG
  b ö f f ! ! !
• CTG
  sorry
• CTG
  Friker: when will you send your final time?
• Friker
  if you send your final time unhidden, i post my final time unhidden too. If not, I post it hidden in 3 hours.
• CTG
  final one, yours?
• Friker
  What the f*ck?! I've had 1:19.15 when you posted 1.19:95.
• CTG
  It's not your final time.
• Friker
  It is.
• Friker
  So, congrats, CTG.
• Friker
  btw: -0.03 - what is that?
• CTG
  A small time unit.
• Friker
  ha.. ha.. ha.. .. 0:45.34 - 0:44.74 == 0.03? did you send 1:18.55 hidden?
• CTG
  As you know, it's easy to find out the hidden times from the buggy -x.xx column (Zak should do something with it). That's why you don't send it yet.
• CTG
  It shows the difference between your published time and your hidden one - in a not so tricky way.
• CTG
  That's where I finish now, I have to go. Be proud, Slovak guy - Algammonato drove a nice lap for you. (kidding)
• CTG
  Happy New Year!
• CTG
  Friker: keep it hidden, please.
• AbuRaf70
  FELIZ AÑO NUEVO...!!! para toda esta Gran Familia del Stunts....!!!!
• Friker
  I am sorry, CTG, but you did not send your best for first time, so I've improved my time (2 minutes work O.o).
• CTG
  liar, i don't play in your muppet show
• Friker
  what do you mean with "liar"?
