Quote from Der_Dude :Guys, thats realy bad organisation. You change the rules a few hours before the race. Everyone practiced for that race assuming there is no pitstop! And now you come up with a mandatory stop. I have no problem with pitstops - i have a problem with last minute rule changes! So everyone who is not part of ITEK is screwed over!

I will participate anyways, but i wanted to adress that critique. CU later.

This wasn't last minute. This change occured a few hours ago. If you guys practiced for no pitstops, then pits wont be a problem, as you wont need tyre changes .

Quote from Quint999 :STFU was certainly not said by me , or any swearing at any point . If that was said , maybe someone else also disagreed

My 1st comment was "Do you mind not doing that, thats extremely annoying"

which to be faiir could have been much politer, so i apologise for any offence

Agreed its just my personal opinion so i'll STFU as well

My apologies, I should have stopped commentating on that comment. I was referring to myself as a way of saying "STFU" (My Dad says that to me as a laugh)

No one insulted or swore on that server as I recall.

Glad to see we cleared this up.

Happy Racing once again

Quote from Quint999 :Actually you was asked politely, to which you took great offence.

I'll back down here and suggest this .. go try out your constant commenting skills unannouced and uninvited on various servers during the race and see what response you get. If its favourable , then fair enough, i apologise.

I'll admit its a bit unexpected, I was trying to liven up the events. Darkone did it on the Redline server unexpectingly and it was a huge sucess. Thought I'd give it a try myself, and you were the only that complained. I didn't see anyone else. Especially for those that spectated.

Anyway, I'll "STFU" (which I admit, chatting too much is a flaw for myself) and race, and compliment, until asked which brings into a conversaion.

Happy racing.

Quote from zeugnimod :I dont know, what you call "spamming", but for me it is, when somebody sends the same line over and over again or if he just writes nonsense. Thats of course not acceptable.

A normal conversation or somebody commentating on a good pass or sth is hardly spamming IMO.

I'm with you there. If someone asked me politely to stop commentating, then I would have done that. But if someone literally said it differently, in a harsh or rude manner, then clearly things are going to get worse before they get better.

Quote from Quint999 :even worse than constant chatting

someone constantly commentating on the race ( very badly i might add) whilst your trying to get on with it

There is a "-" that blocks messages.

Quote from mkinnov8 :It was seriously close then wasnt it! I think i messed myself at that point. Thing was, id pressed Shift+S when i went off throught the barriers.. It didnt kick in..

Only thing I guess in my defence is that:

1) It would have made an awful nice video
2) You would have still won..

Shame you had an horrible evening of racing that night. Don't forget you nearly took me out as well , had a heart attack myself.

I enjoyed catching up to them and keeping at the same pace, made me realise I may go for a win here.

Unfortunately a few little mistakes may have cost me a reasonable battle with quicksilver, but netherless. 2nd was satisfactory for me.

Hope to see you guys on the next combo.
Chatting too much?

I understand that LFS members want to race and dominate, and improve their skills of driving. But on other cases for drivers not racing, its an opportunity to make friends and conversations until they are ready for the next race. And these conversations can last an age.

How do you guys feel about it? Think we should quack our traps off? Or zip them up and discuss them on forums/pm/msn/e-mail etc.

EDIT:I'm not referring to the arguing of drivers having incidents, more on the friendly general banter. I'm not bothered about the chatting at all, just a bit curious.

Quote from Leprekaun :Hi! I wanted to ask, when do the devs plan to return to working on LFS? I know they've released test patches U21 and U22 but I want something serious, like what happened with the U patch. Any chance of getting S2 (FINAL) anytime soon devs?

I'll tell you.

When they feel like working on it again! .

I'm happy with the way it is, the devs can take a break, and take their time. I'm fully satisfied with this at this present moment.

Quote from mkinnov8 :Listen no worries, its just a shame cos I never expected to be in 4th place catching 3rd for any time at all, let alone quite a few laps. Just a little patience perhaps.. both of us.

*nods head in agreement*

If you get a couple of endurance races in, you'll get the experience of patience .

Quote from Becky Rose :It's the most realistic part of LFS to blame someone else

Had Lotesdelere blaming me for holding him up on the pitlane exit of FZR/XRR/FXR - Aston National. He claimed I was deliberatly holding him up *was driving FXR, he was FZR, and was right behind me* considering he had the faster car with more straight line speed than me, he could have easily overtook me, but, not after he spun he had a right go at me.

Good example of members blaming others for their own mistakes .

Quote from jamesrowe :What the :s i dont expect any of the ITEK guys to join MG and some would not be welcome now!

I was never kicking anyone when they was down, if you read before hand, i was trying to get them happier! but The End had to go and be one of those Twats as refered to earlier and start it all illepall

As I recall you posted this.

Quote : Thank you, i dont think my girl friend would love it to know i make love with my CD Rom, actualy its a DVD-Rom!

Do you remember me thinking and applying for Itek? i said i would start on an ITEK website, well i did infact and got pretty far on it! Everybody forgot about that, and so i didnt want to mention it here as im trying to get some morale boost going on!

MG might have been abit slower then you, but we are still running and will be for along time yet.

Im withdrawing any posts i make on this thread from now on, you get alot of gratitude, thats for sure!

I hope you all find somewhere new to race and say how good you are!
Some of you are great guys in ITEK, like Keith and very much so Kasper. Also psymonhilly (these are only out the ones i have got to know somewhat)

But some of you really do think you were the best, but to be the best you need to keep going!... If its a sprint, you won, but an endurance...

Good luck to all of you!

And you took my cheek pretty well, now you have become upset, because folk are having a go at you and you haven't learned when to stop posting.

And because of the hole you have put yourself in, it may consider others not to apply for MG if that attitude literally evolves around the MG forum itself.

Quote from Der_Dude :is there a reason, why my Teammate "Maishaupt" and me ("Der_Dude") are not listed as participants in the opening post of this thread? I just want to make sure we can race with you guys on sunday. CU
