Me and FienDi have been running OLFSL for about 3 years now and no resetting -rule has been in the rules the whole time. The "new" rules are only an updated version of the old ones.
Resetting always means DSQ. You can object, just write a complaint and send it to Solar Hydro.
I wish I could go around it, but that wouldn't be fair to those who have been disqualified for the same reason before.
At least top 2 made it over the finish line before the server crashed and we have the replay, so I will talk to the staff about this. I'd say the situation on lap 34 or the beginning of lap 35 is what counts.
Only difference will be that you guys won't get a DNF for not finishing your race
It's only allowed in special circumstances like long MRT races for example. These special circumstances will be announced well before the race.
OLFSL Rules: Resetting of your vehicle is not allowed. If your vehicle should become inoperable due to flipping onto its roof, getting stuck in sand, being highsided on a guardrail, etc etc, you may not reset the car. You may choose to go into Spectate mode without penalty, which is also recommended if your car is flipped over in or near the driving line. Limping to the pits with a heavily damaged car while being in the way of racers will be considered unsportsmanlike behavior (see penalties). Also, OLFSL hosts are allowed to force racer to spectate if he/she refuses to do so himself/herself. As LFS is becoming more realistic, so must our rules.
Wasn't our grid then, because I published it yesterday afternoon. Sorry your plans got screwed, but not my fault.
I am only responsible for my own actions and stuff that I have published. If you saw a grid saying your pool starts at 16:00 GMT, I'm sorry. But the only valid grid around here is the one I arrange and publish.
I have NOT changed anything, it says 17:00 GMT on the site and in my original notes as well. Go blame someone else, because I have not changed it, it was 17:00 when I started scheduling the pools. :bitehard:
The number is still yours, it's just not visible on the site. Contact FienDi, he will restore it and give you a userID and a password to the site. He removed the members who don't have a userID/pw, because they have not been active members in about a year, but all that memberinfo does still exist. Not for long though, so your timing is perfect
The login system has been there about 1 year. We haven't removed anything, all those who have a userID and a password still have them. Although we are planning to erase ppl who haven't been around in more than 1 year, so we can release the numbers.
About the hotmail thing.. It doesn't matter, it's just leftovers from André -times. I've asked FienDi to remove it, but for some reason it is still there. You can use any email account you want.
This season (and all its combos) has been decided already, so suggestions/requests won't change anything anymore.
However, we are going to have many seasons after this one, which is why I opened this thread. Make your suggestions here, that is how you can help us decide and maybe get one of your favorite combos in the OLFSL Race Calendar.
The planning starts weeks before the ongoing season ends, so keep the suggestions coming!
We know, it just did that to me too. I'm trying to find out what's wrong, but I think it's somehow connected to webhotel updates or site backups.. It has done this before.
If it's not back up in 1-2 hours, then it's something else and we'll put the passwords and servers here.
Sorry for the inconvenience, atm there's nothing we can do about it
NO RESTARTS!!
I would like to be informed about this kind of decisions BEFORE it becomes public.. And we need more than one staff member to vote for it before it's official
It was a necessary layout, approved by the OLFSL Appeals Arbiter and published as soon as possible. It never caused anyone to change how they drive or where they drive, unless it was already against the rules. It was published as soon as we noticed we needed one. Will you let it go already??
And yes, it WAS a joke.
The staff decides if we need a layout. It is published when possible. Sometimes it happens at the last minute, but since it had no effect (unless you broke the rules and that is the reason you made such a big deal about it ) it was ok to publish it so late. Let me remind you, that the layout was created that afternoon and we put it online immediately, so it was there at least an hour before it was posted on the site.. Plenty of time to get used to it.. unless - as I said already - you were breaking the rules..
