Yeah you've been really good Chebbi, but to be honest, you hit him. You can assume he should have been lower, but ultimately it is your responsibility to know that he wasn't.
Don't get discouraged.
You had that at IHR.
Sometimes the line was crossed yes, but babysit a server full of people not knowing how to act proper and that'll happen.
If you look at the history, most populated servers start out with comments like "great racing at team blah blah server last night" and "awesome admins keeping the server clean for good racing", but then the comments and posts in the forums progress (or digress actually), to "shitty admin banned me for nothing" or "wreckfest every lap".
What many fail to see is the teams and Admins on those "flavor of the month" servers want the same thing most of their visitors do. So they sacrifice their own enjoyment of racing to watch out for the numpties.
The user base is usually directly responsible for the end result of a popular server.
FM Fox has had it's fair share of good/bad threads, go check the IHR thread (all of them). Same thing a couple years ago on RSR server when 5 or so people wanted to race TBO's, which turned into weeks of a full server. Then the overpopulation killed it.
Cargame.nl is no different. I've heard great comments about it, which have given way to not-so-great ones (such as yours).
For those that know the inside story, Cargame.nl was born as a direct result of one person having conflict with one of those "Bad-ass Admins", who just wanted to keep a high standard on their servers.
Join a full server, you have to expect trouble. At the time of this post, 13 of the 21 people on track at cargame have less than 30k miles in LFS, so you should expect to come across some turmoil on track.
There's too many threads about "bad racing" and "bad adminning".
You have an Escape button, use it. Try somewhere else.
There's 900+ servers available, surely you can find something.
Besides, if you ask, most of those fast guys will share a setup, which
can only help you improve.
I find it a bit absurd to place blame on the Brazilians totally, I don't recall any of them getting bitched at in Ventrilo. And I don't recall any of them being sent to the back for chat(thanks btw, Eric and I moved halfway through the field without making a lap :P )
Yes they lagged, but everyone lags to someone sometime. Truth is, everyone knows they were lagging, and yet there will still 4 and 5 wide groups. What do you think is going to happen then?
Takes alot of effort (without pay mind you) for deko and crew to provide this for us. Show a bit of respect and gratitude, before the second annual Kyoto500 becomes the final Kyoto500.
Agreed, but in all honesty fixing what is wrong should take precedence over any additional content.
If what we do have is perfected so that it is more enjoyable, maybe it would cut down on these mindless "where's my new shite" threads.......
The, sa|grand touring server is set to the specs for this round if anyone needs another place to practice.
Airio is managing 15 minutes practice, 10 minute qual, followed by 20 minute races, all starting at the top of each hour.
Enjoy.
