First and foremostly: A little info about how I race.
Spoiler
Whoa, I have to keep myself concise, since there's a pesky character limit to posts... and I often exceed it (unsurprisingly enough). ._.
Soooo... am I a backspammer (backspamming irks many people, it seems)? Yes, especially in BC 3... since I want a mushroom as soon as possible. >:3 I think the word 'backspamming' is a rather silly one, though. I shoot back my items (especially when I have three shells circulating me, I don't like them, they always end up hitting me after lightnings have struck) when I want new ones.
I do not shoot back my items right before the finishline, I always try to shoot them forwards. ...If I'm not really annoyed, that is (...or if my mind is muzzy and I'm thinking about something else).
I mostly use the Mach, but sometimes I use the Bullet bike too. Mostly because I love Baby Mario. I don't really like the Bullet bike's steering, weight and random bouncing around, tbh.
I aim to frontrun. But when I end up in the back (6th or so), and other racers behind me are close, I slow down to get a more powerful item (but that's just standard stuff, isn't it?). I always try to obtain the star, which is my favourite item in MK.
Mii name > Almost always τττ Wοsιε (atm I'm using "τττ *Wooς*" because I wanted to have asterisks in my name), but sometimes I use χß☆Wοsιε or [ESR] W2. Clans > First €G (European Goldies), then Cχ (Climax), now τττ (Team Triple Thundercloud). <3 Friendcode > 4683-3569-3034. MKW racer since > December 13th 2008. Time Zone > CET (I seldom race after 12 am). Characters used in WWs > Baby Mario (♥), Birdo or Peach, mostly.
But I like to use most of the characters. You'll never see me using Daisy and Rosalina, though. *allergic* Controller > The GCN one. Imho, the best controller for MKW, though the steering cross keeps malfunctioning on my controllers (which means recurrent failure of POW dodges >_<). VR > 9500+ usually. ...Isn't VR blasé, though? BR > 7800-8400. But Coin Runners makes me want to avoid battle mode. >='/ Merde! Currents > I use another controller now (...luckily!), but this time the 'R' button sometime fails... not as often as my old controllers used to fail POWs, though, so 'tis okay.
Below this text, you'll find my lovely friend roster. As you can see, it's pretty crammed, so I will have to decline most FC requests. ´=/ But there are a few inactives in my list, so go ahead and ask if you'd like to add me. I usually only add people I know from before, though. 0=)
My friend roster (26/30) >
(• = We've been in 100+ races together.
♠ = 250 races+
♣ = 350 races+
♥ = 500 races+
♦ = 1000 races+
The numbers displayed between square brackets ("[ ]") are the number of races I've shared with that particular person since I last updated the scores. I'll update them once a week.)
European Super Racers
♥ [ESR] Leni ♡ (my little sis) (670)
♦ ESR Lukkie (W1) ♡ (1007 [+22])
- I'll never forget you -
• 1up
• €G☆Mort
• H♪korey/Hydro
• The racers shown in lilac are my rivals. >=) ...Rivals in a good way, of course.
The racers shown in dark red are the fabulous girls of my rossie... They all rawk.
• The racers in magenta are retired racers I miss a lot. <3
• "♡" = My best MKW friends. These people are basically the people I love (both personality-wise and racing with 'em) and talk to rather often. If you have this heart, you need no blue one.
"♡" = Top priority people to join. ...these racers might be slightly inactive, and I really enjoy racing with them, so I take every chance I get to join them. They might also be racers who use interesting combos, and I always try to use the same vehicle as them when I end up joining them.
"♡" = Every week I'll give one purple heart each to the three buds I had the most fun with during that particular week. Yay!
Please don't be sad if you're 'heartless' (XD), my goal is for all the people in my rossie to get a pink heart in the end.
The next post will be reserved for my time trial times. ^-^

^ There you go.
The courses marked in red are courses that make me go "noooo... " whenever they're chosen by the course roulette in WWs. >=)
The courses marked with a "★" are my favourite courses.
The date displayed after most of the courses was the date I last updated that record.
I don't do time trials that often, but I love challenges. So if you've got times that are better than mine (don't give me times that are too far away from my current record, though, I don't want to waste too much time), and would like to see me improve, just gimme the challenge and I'll work on my time. ^-^
Important notice: Time trials make me really nervous (and when I say "nervous", I really mean it)... If I'm having a good run, and I enter the 3rd lap... my hands starts to shiver like mad and I can get extremely jittery. This is the main reason to why I'm not too fond of TT:ing anymore.
But since I've become a better racer, I still want to improve my TT times. And since it's still rather easy for me to improve them, I'll continue to do so. As soon as it gets hard to improve my times again, I'll take a long break.
blutoady > Hello there! Well, the 2nd post in this thread is reserved for my TTs, but I don't have time to write them all down tonight... It's 3 am in Sweden right now, you see, and I really should get going to bed soon. Ô,ö;; *night owl*
My TTs will soon show themselves, I promise. *^-^*

Today's MKW reflections > Earlier today I raced with a boy called [BC] Zoid. He was using Bowser and I was using Dry Bowser. It seemed every time I got blue shelled he hit me with a red shell and won that way. It happened at least four times! He was sneaky, usually staying in 2nd place to steal my place after a bluey! =P But it was nice seeing another Bowser user on the tracks. 0=)
Today we'll have some ESR GPs... I still don't know which themes there'll be. At least I know I'll get to race with W1, yay!
