Done by me, in msn No idea why i did this ...

And say good bye to your social dignity!

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Best decision you'll ever make

Damn, must be 16 years of age or over

Quote from Crashgate3 :

Quoting myself as a bit of an update here.




Since posting that, almost exactly a year ago, I joined a proper racing community, and have had vastly more fun playing rFactor and assorted Race 07 derivatives than I ever have playing LFS.

If you want to play rFactor online, it seems to be the only way to do it, there is pretty much no pick-up racing in rFactor at all (unless you really, really like Meganes..). I'd say the amount of games you can just jump into and find people to drive against is easily LFS's strongest point, even more so than the physics.

I should thank you for that since I had the same problem. Syncro-Racing seems to be pretty organized and since this means that I will finally put my rFactor license to good use, I'm going to register on their forum.

I'd like to check if the participants have practiced enough to not be a danger for the others and to see if there is any form of lag and if it's a quick fix or a persistent problem so the answer is unfortunately no.

Quote from efexas16 :

And? i`m happy that crack was made , coz if not the crack i probably wouldn`t be bought S2. yes i have website and so? i make events, where people can win s2 license, i learn them how to play Live For Speed, i try to take out all players from cruise to the normal game playing, not only driving around and making money. Not all people have money to buy S2, but they are still humans they want to play with others and have fun, so i give them opportunity to do that.

:doh:

Your logic is flawed. By that you've basically distributed illegal copies of a product which was made by real people that rely on it to give them a steady income.
Yet again, I must use the endless line of "Isn't the demo enough to make up your mind? You get three cars on two tracks for an infinite amount of time, something you don't get in other games. Shouldn't that be enough?" Of course they are gonna be excited about having the full content for nothing, have you seen someone that said no to a free thing?
There are other ways to convince them to buy a license then to hand them cracked copies. Show them some really impressive movies, host some demo races, etc. If that alone, isn't enough, then it's quite clear that they aren't that interested in LFS.


To get back on topic, I will agree with boothy, it was utterly horrid. But that doesn't mean that it can't be improved as it's been said above. Rome wasn't built in a day but even so, I think you could have put more effort into this one to make it acceptable.
Keep trying and eventually, you should get better

This decision is not based on the poll for a reason which I will further explain in this post.

The participants that voted no, did so because they couldn't participate if the rounds started earlier because of their jobs, choirs, homework, etc.

The participants that voted yes, did so mostly because it's too late. I understand that it might get close to/past midnight for some of you but I myself have to stay up pretty late since I'm in GMT+2. Not to mention the added hours I spend afterward calculating the points and updating the tables.

I only ask of you to have determination and go a couple of hours past your bedtime.

Although the poll ends tomorrow, I have made a decision now. The schedule will remain the same.

Well, look at the bright side, at least now you an excuse when you fail

Congratulations to both!

Quote from Rocket47 :

Just have to confirm couple things.

So, the setup is free, but wings should be 9/14? And intake restriction 12%

Yes, that is correct.

Quote :

Do you have some kind of skin rules, does the number have to be somewhere, or is the skin free?

As long as the skin doesn't contain any offensive material, you are free to have what skin you like. Although if FJr will be broadcasted, then having your number on the rear lateral wings will be mandatory.

Quote from Rocket47 :

Ok, so Zoom 2 won't be on the teams champs, but can he participate as a "private team", or what did you meant by that reserve list? Is the league full?

Yes, the league is full, therefore Tomblord88 has been put on the reserve list. That means that he may only join the official sessions if there is no other signed driver to replace him.

Quote from Rocket47 :

Soo, even if the series started already, we'd like to join. Hope the schedule is gonna be hour earlier. If not, that's ok.
Is it ok, that if we have 3 drivers, the first team has 2 drivers, and the second team has 1 driver? Zoom 1 has 2 drivers, and Zoom 2 has 1 driver, can the Zoom 2 still participate in the teams champs?

Real Name: Matias Köykkä
LFS Username: Rocket47
Team: Zoom Competition 1
Number: 52

Real Name: Niclas Nylund
LFS Username: Zoom Nikkeij
Team: Zoom Competition 1
Number: 53

Real Name: Tommi Ojala
LFS Username: Tomblord88
Team: Zoom Competition 2
Number: 54

Unfortunately Zoom Competition 2 can't participate in the team's championship and Tomblord88 will be on the Reserve List.

Quote from JPeace :

i wanna race as 67 and as a privateer please, thanks.

Done, but this means that My3id Gaming 2 pulls out of the team's championship.

Quote from JPeace :

Real Name: James Peace
LFS Username: JPeace
Team Name: n/a
Number: 67

James, you are already signed up for this league. But I will change your number from 556 to 67 if you so wish.

Quote from JackDaMaster :

(I'm not protesting, I'm just saying that you should stick to the rules that you made)

In case you haven't noticed, by those rules, you would have gotten a drive through penalty... I decided that it was too much so I changed the rule. The rulebook hasn't been updated since I was quite busy pre-arranging the result tables and afterward calculating the points. I'm sorry for my unprofessionalism , will do it now.

With the exception of the overdone face, it looks pretty awesome from what I can see in the second link. I would definitely go for one.

It's just a blind dog smelling some cupcakes

It has been brought to my attention that some participants are a bit unhappy with the current schedule. I have informed them that the most I can do is make the rounds start 1 hour earlier.
This poll is here to decide if the action shall be taken or not.

Note that only participants and admins can vote.
