Hello once again!

We've travelled back in time to 1992 to watch one of the classic BTCC crashes, involving Toyota team mates Will Hoy and Andy Rouse at Brands Hatch. Let me know what you think of the series as a whole, and who you think is to blame. Enjoy!

Quote from shashdev :

Here's a suggestion you could think about. How about not just making the series about the BTCC? It would open you up to a lot more options for car crashes and let's be honest, the audience for the show doesn't care too much about the BTCC, but more about some nice close racing that just went too far.

For example (not a great one btw), you could use this video for the first crash in it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zv_j84t0Bw

Just something to throw out there. Maybe mention it at the end of the next video and see what other people think.

I am open to other race series, but for now I'll be focussing on the BTCC, and this channel will only ever have BTCC content on it. But on my other channel, I will consider doing other series.

Quote from PMD9409 :

Should have made a "neither" option for this one.

Perhaps, but that's boring. Play devil's advocate or protest by not voting.

Quote from Squelch :

What was the voting outcome for round 2?

Results of Round 2 are at the beginning the of round 3 video. If you can't access the video at work, Kelvin Burt was given the share of the blame with 60 votes. The rest had 32 or less.

Quote from [RCG]Boosted :

what do you mean by general?
on my server (the lfs mc server) i use bukkit, which comes with...well nothing, but the ability to use plugins.
which plugins u need/want is obivously up to you, and u may find the suitable one at http://forums.bukkit.org


//edit: the server now is running bukkit again.
report broken plugins here or at http://lfsmc.freeforums.org

General is the name of a plug-in that allows you to do basic things like setting a spawn point and teleporting to that spawn point. I'll take another look on the Bukkit forums for other plug-ins.

Hey, can anyone help me with server mods? I have my own server, and I want to install the General plugin. Does the LFS server have General? If so, would you be able to copy/paste the config.yml file from General and Permissions plugins? I'm so confused.

Quote from Squelch :

I would say Thompson should bear responsibility for that. He turns left to gain the racing line, but fails to check behind. I would imaging he glanced over to see Rydell, but failed to see Burt coming in between.

Burt is partially to blame despite what he says in the interview. I don't think braking was necessary - a lift might have sufficed - and if anyone could see the situation unfolding completely, it was him. He did get an excellent start however, and was trying to capitalise on it.

I'm not sure if my vote got through I clicked Thompson, but got no feedback. This was after working out that I needed to be viewing via Flash Player - I've been using the Google/YT HTML5 version for some time now and annotations aren't supported on that yet. Can you put a note in the description to help others please?

I've now added links to the description of the video

Quote from shashdev :

Btw, you might want to tell them in the next episode not to click on more than one annotation because some people may just be curious as to what's there.

Just let them know that all annotation videos are the same so they aren't tempted to click on more than one annotation and skew the votes.

It's possible that the votes for the last round were so close because people went back and viewed the other video as well.

I'm almost certain that after seeing one 'you voted' video nobody would click on another - the speech on the video is nonspecific and the only thing that could be seen as unique is the name written in the video.

I also think the voting was close because people had a genuinely divided opinion on who was to blame.

Quote from Shotglass :

you might want to add a freeze frame where you introduce the involved parties and give them numbers or something
in both videos i found it impossible to remember whos who when the voting popped up

I've now added a pause annotation and added labels to the cars

Hello once again,

After the great success of the first episode of The Blame Game (600+ views, 200+ votes), I'm back with episode 2.

We're still in 1995, and you will be voting on an incident between Kelvin Burt, Rickard Rydell and James Thompson at Oulton Park.

Watch the video, vote, comment and please let me know what you think

It's all a good idea, other than the lack of motorway driving - I do agree that recently-passed drivers shouldn't be allowed on motorways until they have had motorway-based lessons, however.

So, let novices take their test within 2 years of passing the learner test: two years of no motorway driving is far too long.

Really sorry I couldn't make it, guys. I only just moved back home and haven't unpacked yet, so my wheel was not available. Hope it was good, and happy birthday!

The voting is RIDICULOUSLY close at the moment, probably the closest episode of the Blame Game ever! That highlights the fact that there should have been a 'racing incident' option.

Quote from amp88 :

Also...Watts as a legend?

He's really tall, so yes.

Quote from PMD9409 :

What's the official decision that the stewards gave? (originally Boothy's Q).

There was no action taken.

Quote from evilpimp :

Obviously Cleland. I dont even see how it could be Watt's fault. :P

Watts currently has 19 votes. So some people disagree! Cleland is winning though.

Hello!

This week, I'm asking you to choose who deserved an endorsement/penalty more? Rydell or Cleland in a pair of incidents at Brands Hatch. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YE8i62-_2R8

Episode 1

Hello!

After a 30 months off, the Blame Game returns in the form of real-life racing! For the next few months I will be asking you to decide who's to blame in a number of BTCC incidents from the 90s. The first video is an incident between John Cleland and Patrick Watts in 1995. Watch and enjoy, and tell me what you think!

I'm not trying to cause controversy, I just wanted to highlight some of my favourite moments from the BTCC in an interactive way

Your last birthday event was awesome, so I can't miss this one. It'll probably be my first drive in LFS for a year!

I am insulted that Boothy is trying to use my gorgeous face as if it is his own, just to impress all the females of LFS land. So two people. Hmph.

I still play it a few times a week. Vietnam pack is pretty good as well, worth a tenner.

I climbed one mountain in the Alps last summer. That was pretty tough. All we had for supplies was a baguette and some ham, some disgusting water and a bottle of Desperados each. Climbing like that with no preparation or supplies is not recommended. But we did it.

A friend of mine attempted the Lands End to John O'Groats walk (Bottom left to top right of the UK) last year but didn't last long as he hadn't prepared properly. Preparation is key!

Your adventure still tops anything I've seen!

Quote from Zipppy :

I think I have the song laying somewhere on my hard drive, I'll look.



Ah, here it is.

Thank you very much! You have made my day

Hey guys, sorry to bump this nearly 3 year-old thread, but I was wondering if anybody has a copy of the song. Filefront has deleted it and I wanted to give it a listen and put it on YouTube.

And since I've done the bump, I should link you to the first take of this song, which still exists online: http://www.lfsforum.net/showth ... =41923&highlight=song

I've had MC for a while but never did much multiplayer since it didn't work very well. Could you add me to your whitelist, please? Username is passo

I sent the verification form, but they didn't believe me.

Well, that's that. You've lost that account. Just tell the people you know that the email address is no longer owned by you, and change the email address to everything you're signed up for.

Quote from Jakg :

Don't click the YouTube link... it goes to Meatspin. I clicked it with my Mum standing behind me... shit got awkward

(not even joking).

Christ, sorry. In hotmail it said it was a music video of some kind, so I didn't bother checking.

EDIT: Ah, I see what happened. I guess the perpetrator likes that kind of thing
