• Friker
  Happy new year!
• Zak McKracken
  scoreboard final, confirmed.

  Felicitaciones a Friker por esta gran victoria, luego de una gran batalla con CTG...
• CTG
  Although I have several strange thoughts in my mind, I won't be like Akoss Poo. Friker: you had a strong lap time, congratulations. However, once you will also face a seriously fighting opponent - if you can win that battle, you will earn your first valuable victory. This one was an X-mas present from Duplode, Gutix and Biker.
• Renato Biker
  Viva o Friker!
• Zak McKracken
  I will attempt to perform a site update now, but due to the rule and car changes I may not be able to finish today. You may experience some downtime. DO NOT post any replays until I officially announce the update has finished.
• Krys TOFF
  Congrats Friker, and happy new year to everyone !

Jan 3

• Zak McKracken
  Technically the update is complete and the track is available. Official announcement tomorrow - feel free to test and report any bugs meanwhile
• dreadnaut
  The new cars are fun!
• Friker
  Thanks for gratulations. I was suprised by dreadnaut's line. Keep going. Now, I am very unsure whether introduction of two PG cars and one super fast car will not ruin this season for me (6 PG + 3 fast :-/).
• Duplode
  Happy new year, Stunts world! Internet connection troubles have kept me away for the last several days. So, where do I begin?
• Duplode
  Congratulations Friker for an eagerly-awaited and well-earned victory! And now, on to 2013
• Duplode
  Oh, and @Friker (03:40): it is not so bad - none of the newly introduced cars has PG.
• Varalica
  Are the car bonus levels confirmed?
• Varalica
  The croatian word 'varalica' means 'cheater' anyway, while 'twyll' is the 'cheat' in Wales.
• CTG
  Stunts-free holiday, forum ignorance. Will be back when I have the mood. 11 completed races were too much for a year.
• Friker
  :O what was I driving? ok so "only" 5 PG + 4 fast. Still, nothing for me.
• dreadnaut
  Fun: the Melange can accelerate up a cork u/d without crashing horribly. The McLaren felt a bit too powerful, but it might have its place on the right track. That said, I only drove a handful of laps, I might change my mind. The bonus system should prevent them from ruining the season.
• Alan Rotoi
  Congratulations to Friker and Dup! And thanks to Zak for using Melange this year!
• dreadnaut
  LM002 is very relaxing

  Hello!

Jan 5

• Farewell, 2012!
  We had a great season at ZakStunts. Despite the relatively low number of constant participants, we had races with considerable activity and great battles. We have elected our first triple-champion, who also did what nobody before could: win the championship for two years in a row. Congratulations, Duplode!
  We also had two new race winners, the first ones since 2009. Congratulations SuperBrian and Friker! Extra grats to Friker for the overall second place - good job!
  We have also soon Cork's Crew rise again and win the championship. Congrats too!
  We had some bad rules, some bad decisions, some small flamewars but also a lot of fun, including long time not seen live races. Thank you all for your efforts and participation!
  And now we roll onto 2013 with some changes.
  The ruleset has changed from 2012, keeping some of the changes introduced last year in a refined and hopefully better approach.
  We also have some new cars! Three, to be precise. I expect this to bring some new life to the races and encourage car designers to create other nice cars soon.
  We also have the first track available and already several racers participating... a promising start!
  I don't expect ZakStunts ever to reach again the level it had 10 years ago. But I do hope that we will have a handful (maybe even a dozen) of active racers, who enjoy battling and having fun with the greatest game ever created. :) And I also do hope to see another Stunts competition to cater for the needs of the more active. Its not good to be alone.
  But whatever happens, you can count on me keeping the spirit alive. Long live Stunts - enjoy the 13th season of ZakStunts!
• AbuRaf70
  Hola Chulk...!!!
• Alan Rotoi
  Hi ADPunk! Welcome back!!!!!!!
• Chulk
  Audi Quattro test... not bad
• Chulk
  Zak, can you add some way to add penalty time in RPLinfo Online?
• Duplode
  Chulk: unfortunately that's impracticable, as an .RPL file contains just the keystrokes and other info needed to generate a lap; penalty time is calculated on-the-fly by Stunts.
• Chulk
  I know that. But maybe the same way we add it when submitted was usable
• Duplode
  Oh, I see - so that we get the corrected penalty as well. That would be nice, indeed.
• Chulk

• Dexter Morgan
  Chulk won't ever win ZakStunts.
• CTG
  Damn, I fucked it up with the nicks, please delete Dexter Morgan!
• CTG
  not bad from a drunk one
• Chulk
  I may not win Zakstunts, but I'll sure kick your ass this month! Remember I got my first 2 podiums with Audi and Lm002...
• CTG
  You have to eat more spinach to beat me.
• Chulk
  Dare to bet?
• CTG
  Why not?
• Usrin
  It's worth to try it when you're sober.
• CTG
  WTF!

Jan 7

• CTG
  Correction: I'm not a Damage Inc. member, went back to Looping.
• CTG
  Let's see how fast Usrin is.
• Usrin
  Extremely. That's the least you can expect from a Slovak.
• Usrin
  Btw, I'm also a Looping Warrior this year. Further correction: as I saw in the forum, Friker and dreadnaut became Yellow Fleas.
• Chulk
  Rustying off lap by lap. Still a long way to go to RB's time. Enough to beat CTG for now :b
• CTG
  I always knew that Usrin is Friker. Chulk: beware!
• Akoss Poo
  BÖFF!!!
• Zak McKracken
  it's good to see the scoreboard full of team - and I have not yet sent out the usual yearly spam
• Akoss Poo
  Well, I opted for being a member of 'Opponent Near' team last year, but I just wanted to ask you now to put me in the good old Looping Warriors team (after seeing CTG's and Usrin's status). Thanks. :-)
• CTG
  A Stunc-buzi jó édes... WELCOME BACK!
• CTG
  Hey, Yellow Insects! Where is your team logo?
• Akoss Poo
  slight improvement in the last sector
• CTG
  Poo: what will you do if I publish 1:21.xx with Audi?
• CTG
  Mr. Hankey, the Christmas Poo
• Usrin
  Azt a 7 meg a 8-át! Erm... what a race! I'm grabbing a beer for that! Cheers, and of course BÖFF!
• CTG
  time travel to 2003
• Usrin
  Fuelled by the beer.
• CTG
  what kind of beer?
• Usrin
  Borg Pilsner. Unfortunately not a Slovak one, hence not enough for top performance...

Jan 8

• CTG
  Not bad.
• Usrin
  I agree: not poor, but Poo(R)!
• Usrin
  Yay! I've made my worst linguistic joke ever!
• CTG
  Meanwhile Poo made one of the best (will be quoted in the team forum).
• Akoss Poo
  orgasm :-)
• CTG
  guess who will destroy your time in the evening
• Usrin
  Perhaps Bonzai Joe?
• Usrin
  Or maybe Argammon.
• CTG
  Probably me.
• Usrin
  You bet wrong.
• Usrin
  Look at the graphical scoreboard: Looping Warriors push RB off the track.
• Renato Biker
  Oh no, that seems a bit obscene.
• CTG
  Hmmmm...
• CTG
  Usrin is too strong...

Jan 9

• Chulk
  Still a long way to go, but better than expected so far
• Chulk
  I'll take the outside line, far from you, sexually deviated loopings!
• CTG
  Insomnia.
• Chulk
  WTF!!!
• Friker
  priceless.. ok, so audi is the car. RB, you rock!
• Usrin
  Pfff, I'm afraid it's not my category from this point.
• Friker
  btw, RB, we are looking for a third member for our team. wanna join?
• CTG
  Argie, Argie...
• Renato Biker
  Friker, I think that it`s a good idea, it would be a good contest between teams. Did you accept me?
• Friker
  wow! this week is awesome! i passed a hard exam in Monday and now this apcceptance. i accept for sure!
• Renato Biker
  Hehehe. Thank you. Just wait a minute until the members of Average Joe give an answer for my e-mail.
• Renato Biker
  Hehehe. Thank you. Just wait a minute until the members of Average Joe give an answer for my e-mail.
• CTG
  And what did Mr. Hat say?
• CTG
  Frbiker in action
• CTG
  admit the existence of replay generator, mr. dickhole (=Frbikergammon il Riverssore), yes, i'm drunk
• Friker
  and you know we love you despite all of your insults
• CTG
  don't be that gay

Jan 10

• Alan Rotoi
  I hate the big drunk CTG's ass
• CTG
  hahaha

Jan 11

• CTG
  1:33.56 won't be enough, Doggy!
• Friker
  why do you call Alan Doggy?

  Feliz cumpleaños Anelio!!! Que la pases muy feliz con tus seres queridos, pero dale unos minutos al vicio del Stunts!!
• Duplode
  Happy birthday, Anelio!
• CTG
  Happy AbuRaf78-day!
• Friker
  Happy Birthday, AbuRaf!
• AbuRaf70
  MUCHAS GRACIAS a todos, por los saludos con motivo de mi 79 cumpleaños... CTG: Sería AbuRaf79 entonces, pero prefiero que siga siendo AbuRaf70, ya que es una referencia para saber cuando me uní a esta familia tan linda del Stunts...
• CTG
  Even better! Sorry for the mistake, the 'Racers' menu said 78.

• Renato Biker
  Paradisio has not answered my email. dstien yes and it's ok. Well, I want to start the teamwork. Zak, include me in the Yellow Fleas. Friker and dreadnaut, send me a e-mail: renatobrodzinski@yahoo.com.br
• Duplode
  What a coup for the Fleas :O
• CTG
  Friker: why don't you invite dstien as a fourth member? He's one of the greatest hackers in Stunts history.
• Friker
  Yes, I was thinking about it. But I would accept him - he is one of a few active racers..

Jan 18

• dreadnaut
  Welcome among the fleas, RenatoBiker!
• Renato Biker
  Thanks, dreadnaut. Paradisio replied my e-mail, so now it's official, I am a Yellow Fleas member
• CTG
  Mingva le van fingva.

Jan 20

• dreadnaut
  Does anyone have a hacked version of Stunts without the *Re-Start Driving* menu choice?
• Renato Biker
  I also wish it did not exist, because we almost never restarts the entire lap. This forces us to be frenetically saving replays, or lose the successful attempts.
• Alan Rotoi
  The story of my life...

Jan 21

• dstien
  Disabling "re-start driving" and adding keyboard shortcuts for next/prev frame and continue racing have been on my restunts todo list half a decade. Any day now... :-)
• Renato Biker
  I think that you will not have so many problems to do it.

Jan 22

• dreadnaut
  Uhm, rssreplays seems stuck on the last race of 2012...
• Friker
  another bug on the site making this page full of insects
• Zak McKracken
  one less. rssreplays now fixed.
• Zak McKracken
  whee I posted at 1337

Jan 23

• Renato Biker
  Zak, change my team.
• Zak McKracken
  done
• Renato Biker
  Thanks.

Jan 24

• CTG
  AbuRaf, dstien: USC is running!
• AbuRaf70
  Gracias por el aviso, CTG... ya me bajé la pista Alicante y la probé... es bastante difícil para mí, pero parece muy linda... lo que no entendí bien, por la traducción tal vez, es donde hay que enviar los replays... Explicame por favor como se hace. Gracias
• CTG
  AbuRaf: replays must be published in Stunts Forum (for Alicante: Alicante (USC 71). Therefore we have quite high podium time bonus (similar to LTB).

Jan 25

• AbuRaf70
  CTG. Entré al Foro, pero no entiendo que y como hay que enviar el replay
• Duplode
  AbuRaf: Debajo del cuadro donde escribes las respuestas en el foro hay un "Archivos adjuntos y otras opciones" link. Haga clic en él y un comando "Attach" aparecerá para adjuntar el archivo.
• CTG
  Thank you, Duplode!
• AbuRaf70
  Muchas Gracia, Duplode... en castellano entiendo mucho mejor... y Gracias a CTG también, ya que mis 79 años ya se empiezan a sentir y tengo que preguntar cosas que tal vez Uds. dan por sabidas.. De paso, CTG, mi fecha de nacimiento es: 14-01-1934
• CTG
  Zak: please remove Dexter Morgan, ADPunk should get a point.

Jan 26

• Bonzai Joe
  Hey Friker, it's been a long time, but congratulations on your victory!
• Friker
  BJ: thanks Zak: could you also remove about 3/4 of login names which are only products of CTG's frustration/phobia/paranoia?
• CTG
  Please start with Friker!
• CTG
  kidding
• Zak McKracken
  done and also created a stunts related programs subforum.
• Alan Rotoi
  Where is Dexter Morgan's replay?
• Alan Rotoi
  Oh, ghosts... fucker...

Jan 28

• Alan Rotoi
  Say hello to Goyo! He's a friend of mine and when he saw the web wanted to race and remember old times
• Chulk
  Hola Goyo!! Bienvenido! Cualquier duda, chifla!
• CTG
  4dsl!
• Alan Rotoi
  ?
• CTG
  
• Friker
  hello goyo
• CTG
  WB MLR!
• CTG
  =?

Jan 29

• Usrin
  Yeeepeeee, another 0.1 second improvement !! [(C)Krys TOFF, 2004-11-07]
• Chulk
  This must be some kind of a record... what's the most Leading hours anybody has had in Zakstunts history?
• Alan Rotoi
  I guess when Gutix won sending a replay in the 2nd day of the month.
• CTG
  I guess the biker is the record holder. Don't expect any "research", this is not the question I want to answer.
• CTG
  ZCT64: Biker 667 hours, that must be the record.
• CTG
  ZCT73: CTG 677 hours...
• CTG
  ZCT73 was the worst race ever for sure.
• Friker
  broken gearbox? you could ride only at 1st gear?
• CTG
  3rd gear
• SuperBrian
  Hello all. Late testlap here - I'll return tomorrow. Also late but huge congratulations to Friker on z136 and Duplode on the champion-title! Unfortunately I have been tied up by examns the most of december and january and in the middle of the process I had to exchange my keyboard with a new one because I spilt tea on the old. But now it is really hard to get used to this one when driving stunts..

Jan 30

• satanziege
  Pitman?
• CTG
  Pitman used to be a type of language exams.
• CTG
  Btw welcome back, satanziege!
• CTG
  Bonzai Joe should participate.

Jan 31

• Usrin
  Happy birthday, Lise! (I was quicker than CTG. )
• AbuRaf70
  Happy Birthday, Lise...!!!
• CTG
  Usrin! The only thing I say: this is the age of Facebook (I guess Lise won't read this messageboard)...
• Usrin
  No. This is still the age of spamming.
• CTG
  as
• CTG
  you
• CTG
  wish
• CTG
  I
• CTG
  can
• CTG
  spam
• CTG
  a
• CTG
  lot
• CTG
  If this one is true, congratulations for Meganium, perfect car hiding!
• Alan Rotoi
  Mad! ^_^.
• Chulk
  I have a bad feeling about this anyway...
• Chulk
  The fleas have been too silent...
• CTG
  luckily i have no time and mood to race this evening + my pg skills... well... they don't exist at all
• SuperBrian
  Interesting with the corvette. :-o Hmm, maybe it's too late to get to know the track, especially with this stupid keyboard but I'll try to the deadline..
• Friker
  well, I was too convinced by Biker's replay that I've stopped thinking about Vette.. (anyway I would try vette if I have some PG skill )
• Friker
  convinced and fooled.. audi = 180 - 200mph vette = 245 and that's a big difference
• Chulk
  FRI: "I was too convinced by Biker's replay that I've stopped thinking about Vette" LOL! That's what actually got me thinking about Vette...
• Duplode
  This race began like Z70 (impossible time early in the month)... and it seems it will end like Z70 too (MeganiuM Vette victory)
• CTG
  Friker drove the Corvette, be sure
• Friker
  I thought that vette's bonus is not enough for the PG line..
• Friker
  CTG shut up! and change it to the "is driving"
• CTG
  Btw how far is the deadline? 25 or 85 mins?
• Friker
  "All times and dates on the site are in GMT+1, it's the official time zone of the competition" I hope it's 85 mins.
• Duplode
  I think there is some issue with the deadline counter. I vaguely remember seeing it wrap around to 24 hours and 59 minutes at the end of a day some time ago. We will see if that happens again in ten minutes...
• CTG
  I think Friker pretends to race now, but he knew about Corvette for ages. But it sounds so cool, that "hey, I made this one in 10 minutes and won the race".
• CTG
  I hate Corvette's powergear, I can't declare it enough times.
• CTG
  (gave up trying right before the cork l/r + right corner + hillside + small left + bridge part)
• Alan Rotoi
  Iron Maiden - Two minutes to midnight
• dreadnaut
  Yup... countdown went from "2012-01-31 23:59 0 day(s) 0 hour(s) and 0 minutes left." to "2012-01-31 23:59 30 day(s) 24 hour(s) and 59 minutes left. "
• Friker
  ok, CTG.. this is insulting. so shut up, please. I tend to ignore you, but now I have no mood for your paranoia. I've never lied about my state of progress!
• SuperBrian
  I don't understand. As far as I know I live in GMT+1 time zone, but the time is 23:12!? I'm still struggling with the corvette power gear, but is it too late?
• Alan Rotoi
  So it's Zaks time!
• SuperBrian
  Yeah, zak must be living in the GMT+2 time zone, damn. I didn't make it then..
• CTG
  
• Alan Rotoi
  BTW The rules says GMT+1
• CTG
  Friker is nervous. That's what I wanted to reach.
• Chulk
  Rules says GMT+1, so I would keep racing if I were you. Rules support your times for the next 40 mins.
• Duplode
  Do keep racing, Brian; evidence indicates this is just a bug in the counter (see my message and dreadnaut's just below).
• Alan Rotoi
  No! Keep reading my messages!
• SuperBrian
  Double damn! I still miss half a lap!
• CTG
  at least biker's audi time should be defeated...
• dreadnaut
  The countdown bug is a bit annoying though, since I assumed I had no time to try a Vette lap an hour ago. Which I probably didn't have anyway, but! :-p
• Chulk
  All this last minute Vette racing will change car bonuses balance compared to a Vette podium and Audi for the rest
• CTG
  yeah, it was a waste of time to design ZCT139 for Corvette...
• CTG
  i'm out
• CTG
  or a last try to improve the last corner
• CTG
  Stormy finish, isn't it? I don't remember any races with such a sharp end.
• CTG
  safety snding
• CTG
  bah
• CTG
  < 1:00?
• CTG
  ANYÁD!
• CTG
  < 1:00!
• CTG
  AbuRaf... GRRRRRRRRR!!!
• CTG
  Sorry AbuRaf!
