Well its official now, every Wednesday 8pm Central U.S. Time on the GiantBomb Official Classic Server. Our awesome logo is from Deusx.
TrackMania² Canyon
Game » consists of 3 releases. Released Sep 14, 2011
The long-awaited full sequel to TrackMania is here! Drive fast and drift long in this crazy, physics-based fun racing game. Features gameplay similar to that of previous games in the series. The player can race on various tracks, with the ability to do stunts in various modes.
Race Night
I'd definitely try to join whenever possible, but no promises given my somewhat out-of-whack schedule at this point. Seems like a reasonable time.
I've been playing on the GB server for the last few nights at unreasonably late times -- usually by myself, but not always -- and anything to help gather population back into Trackmania 2 in general would be rad.
I am into this! Also, everyone get on the Giant Bomb server all the time, every day.
I could go play on the weird French role playing server, but that's only fun for so long.
I just added four new tracks (and one new song) so HAVE AT IT. I'll try to join when I can, but I'm typically still at the office and/or driving home around that time.
I also turned on Dedimania support, so we're shipping out our records to BOTH of the major records keeping services. BOTH.
Let me know if any more tracks need to get cut. The drop in server population has made track karma an unreliable metric for quality.
Awesome. I love Trackmania but I don't love playing with Europeans who spend every waking moment getting better than me. See you guys on Wednesday!

I have a problem with Slider's Paradise and its jarring jumps that aren't well-marked, so I'd be happy to see that track get taken out back and worked over with a two by four.
Also, I'm not entirely sure if the other record-keeping service is still showing up anywhere or if it's actually taking in times, but that might just be because most of its records are completely unreachable, whereas Dedimania's pretty barren at the moment. I'll figure that out over a few more nights of playing.
It was nice to finally play with some GB guys again. Whenever I hopped on before there would only be around 4 people on the server. Got it up to 11 or something today! Man do I miss the old days when there were multiple TM2 servers with 50 people. The most people I can find in a server these days is like 30. And thats only on one server. Its a shame the population for the game has gotten so low. Probably won't make it next week as my classwork is really starting to pile up for me. Speaking of class I'm pretty sure I have two big papers due Monday that I need to start. *sigh* At least there will be lots of turkey and stuffing to be had tomorrow.

NOW JEFF WILL HAVE TO KEEP THE SERVER ALIVE, RIGHT? RIGHT!?
He's kept it alive this long and hasn't mentioned anything about shutting it down. I just want to play with a bunch of awesome duders with sweet Whiskey Media-themed cars again.

exactly thank you :)
@Uranium said:
We got the server about half full tonight, better than last week, if this keeps going by next week we'll have a full server.
I hope so, lets keep spreading the word and hopefully more people will come :)
I meant to post yesterday, but it was awesome racing with more than just a handful of people.
I had to bail an hour after race night "officially" started but saw like 20 people racing at one point. What time did we hit peak numbers?
Hey, guys, congratulations on making it onto the Bombcast! I'm rooming with commisar, so I've joined in for short periods of time, and it's been a blast. Let's keep it going and growing!

Somebody more talented than me should make a sweet image with cars and shit that says when Race Night is.

@Ravenlight: I asked Deusx to do one, and he kindly agreed to help us out :)
Awesome! Jeff talking about it on the Bombcast will hopefully influence more duders to join as well :)
I had some fun with you duders on Wednesday, let's keep Race Night rolling!
I kept getting randomly disconnected, though. Did anyone else have that problem?

I'm not terribly talented but I was bored:
As a Trackmania 1 die-hard who has not yet played Trackmania 2 but is totally out of school for winter break as of tomorrow: I AM SO DOWN WITH THIS. I'll buy a copy as soon as I'm home for the holidays, so hopefully I'll see you fuckers on Wednesday night! Wooooooo!

I'm sending the banner today! Sorry for taking so long guys, I had some family problems :( But it's all fine now.
Don't hesitate to jump in earlier. There are usually a handful of people playing at any given time and as more join the server, the higher the server is promoted on the "Browse Servers" list.
Ok guys sorry for taking so long with this. It took longer than I had anticipated. I hope you guys like it. It's the Race Night medal awarded by Jeff to every duder who decides to ride by his side through the treacherous rocky mountains of Trackmania 2. Tell me what you think, Honestly, I don't know how to feel about this one so if you guys don't want to use it please tell me, I can't take constructive criticism :D
Hey guys, hoping to see as many of you online as possible tonight! Let's get in some good races; maybe we'll convince Jeff to throw another TNT!

Sorry for taking so long to reply, but it looks awesome.
One request, though: Can you make it a decal that we can apply to cars ingame? Maybe two versions: one with and without the text. If you have the time, that would be badass :D
Arg! I can't believe I missed it. A bunch of friends and I got into Gratuitous Space Battles and all of a sudden it was 11PM.
Next week, for sure.
