[APX] Team Apex

[thunderjolt]

For the people that already have Kinect; its worth a try or just for some laughs. But the racing and drifiting will all be done with the wheel in my house.

I do think kinect has some nice possibilities though..

When Microsoft release the SDK for Kinect the potential on the device would increase. Right now Kinect Games made by Microsoft haven't had the most intuative ideas.

I could imagen it would be nice to flap down the sunvisor when the sun is directly on the front of the car, using kinect.

I'm not sure if this was for the PS3 or the Xbox but i saw something about some kind of music game that you can play by grabbing and throwing away pieces of sound.. That looked really cool.. i'll post a link if i can find it

 

[Meerly a cat]

I'll steal captain spot.

I have got alot smoother on the DS3 and on Xbox. I'm slightly proud of myself. Xe Danny and Kami are sort of helping me on Xbox so all I need is a good DS3 mentor for the PS3. Any takers?

 

[ZSPaulus]

Cant help you there mate, we could practice and fail together, but why would i bother drifting with a DS3 when i have my noisemaker DFGT..

 

[Meerly a cat]

Oh ok. I'll find someone but everyone here uses a wheel I think.

 

[thunderjolt]

Oh ok. I'll find someone but everyone here uses a wheel I think.

I'm still more of a DS3. I'm not the greatest at it. We could learn together! ;D

 

[Meerly a cat]

All in due time.

Yes going to Rockness to see Kasabian and then another small festival in Scotland called Belladrum to see Mumford and sons.

 

[ZSPaulus]

[Meerly a cat]

This entire thread is going to share in it so don't worry about that.

This my be a painful truth but the Team APX thread is not a chat or social group for you guys to post as you wish in. Its to organise and discuss drift event and you all need to keep that in mind.

Using it as a general chat thread will see it locked and I'm quite sure you don't want that to happen.

We have social group functions here at GT Planet in which your team can discuss anything they want, they can be found here....

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/group.php

and you can set one up here...

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/group.php?do=create.

...they are still subject to the AUP, but can be used to start discussions, chat, etc.

However public threads need to keep on topic (the AUP is clear on this), or run the risk of being locked.

Keep in mind this is simply the same set of rules that are applied to any thread on the forum. However the staff have been seeing a lot of activity within this thread that shows a lack of respect to the AUP and as such also to the members of GT Planet that do follow the AUP.

I have no wish to lock this thread, but I also can not stand by and let the AUP be ignored on a daily basis in it. What happens next is in your hands.

I don't see how that is needed.

Guys seen as we can't post anything within reason let's take this discussion to the team thread as this is just silly now. 👍

Not questioning you but surely it's hard to discuss/plan anything to do with drifting when the network is down?

 

[Scaff]

I don't see how that is needed.

The AUP?

Guys seen as we can't post anything within reason let's take this discussion to the team thread as this is just silly now. 👍

You can post plenty within reason, all you are being asked to do is follow the AUP the same as every member, the AUP you agreed to follow when you joined GT Planet.

Not questioning you but surely it's hard to discuss/plan anything to do with drifting when the network is down?

I've seen plenty of posts in here that are on-topic, discussing technique, cars, set-up, posting pictures and videos. These are all fine.

However when it gets to general chat and jokes, that's not on-topic.

I have to be honest what this looks like from the staff's point of view is that you feel that the AUP should not apply to 'your' thread and your pushing back when reminded that it does.

We can't (and will not) apply the AUP selectively and I have offered a perfectly reasonable solution to the desire to chat and tell jokes, use the social group tools I provided a link to.

As I say what happens from this point on is up to those who post in this thread, but ignoring the AUP and the staff is not one that I would suggest you use.

I must say, we talked about missing Delphic a few pages back and here comes Scaff. We are (Super) Moderator Magnets...

 

[BiggRayy]

i'ts not my fault guys ...........

 

[Meerly a cat]

I was reffering to "we" as a team.

The thread being closed is not needed.

With reference to the mighty AUP we'll follow this as a team and I'll follow this as a poster.

 

[BiggRayy]

Wait whats AUP wheres the poster????lol

 

[thunderjolt]

Wait whats AUP wheres the poster????lol

AUP is the rules we agree to when signing up. The Poster is the person posting. That clear things up a bit?

 

[ZSPaulus]

Meerkitten; my joke was about the lyrics of "winter winds" by momford and sons..


@Scaff: thank you for pointing out the other locations where we can just chat.
I guess PSN being down is giving you guys a lot of work since you can't discuss teambusiness when you can't play online as a team..

I suggest we take the chitchat to our own site; and stay ontopic here.



So;
Do we have any good video editors in our Team? I miss the team vid's from FM.net. We could start a nice GT5 tradition.
And, with that, give a more positive impulse to the community, rather then what we're doing in here, mates getting banned and all..

 

[BiggRayy]

Lyrics to Winter Winds :
As the winter winds litter London with lonely hearts
Oh the warmth in your eyes swept me into your arms
Was it love or fear of the cold that led us through the night?
For every kiss your beauty trumped my doubt

And my head told my heart
"Let love grow"
But my heart told my head
"This time no
This time no"



etc etc

Off topic i give you a warning !!!

 

[thunderjolt]

Wow I have gotten 232 E-Mails in the space of the 2nd of May to the 11th of May...
I don't even read half of them because I read them on my phone. My DFGT is staring me in the face. I'm not allowed to open the box... I'm dieing...

 

[Meerly a cat]

Not being a mod here but just a friendly heads up as a fellow team mate. I hardly see how Jeff would like it if he signs on after school to see his team thread is locked because of us. So can we drop this and get on to drifting. Again sorry the rules are strict. Maybe we should make one in the threads he nominated?

 

[ZSPaulus]

Off topic i give you a warning !!!

Srry Sir!!

@thunder: Why can't you open the box? Christmas is still a long time bro! Drifting with a wheel is da bomb!

EDIT: for ontopicness

Yup... Let's go to the Team Forum and talk stuff there.

I love Delphic's Signature and Scaff "Forum Ninja"
Just had to add it in there before going to the Team Forum.

 

[Meerly a cat]

That a boy. 👍

Nope not that I'm aware of sorry Paul.

Can you all pm me your names if I don't know them. People other than. Braxton, Paul, Jeff and Ray.

 

[thunderjolt]

@Paul: Apparently I haven't been respectful to my parent and yeah.. I bought it but not allowed to open it.. I can't even touch my PS3 either.

 

[ZSPaulus]

Haha; that'll teach you!

How many weeks untill you can drift (no; practice) with the wheel?
