heh, couple of my friends play WoW and they have been bothering me to get it and play with them. I didn't even know WoW was (this was few months ago ) They told me that it is a great game and that I will love it. But I know myself and what I like and don't like, but nevertheless on one rainy boring dark autumn Sunday evening I decided to grab the demo. I wanted to see what all the fuss is about.

So after few hours of downloading the bloody thing I managed to actually play it, created my character in some weird world my friends were in, I became the wizard of the forest or something like that, tall lanky dude with a beard.

Ok so now i was in, my initial thoughts were this is a bit ermm cartoony (for my liking) but looked good enough not to make me quit straight away. After about an hour trying to find my way around i got bored, yes bored! the WoW sucking effect didn't work on me, must be immune so after about an hour and a bit of playing time i quit it and it vanished from my hdd never to be installed their again!! I just don't see what is so great about it. Yes bunch of friends and people going on quests together but camon!

maybe if i played a bit more I would have liked it a bit but it just didn't grab my attention and i did give it a chance.

Happy Birthday Scawen!

Quote from Linsen :

What I find strange, though, is that you are so quick, despite your poor stability, Tom (don't know how fast you are, mad).
Linsen

Lol, maybe i must have some really good drivers to cope with that sh*t hehe

Ok I have now carefully looked at my chassis and it isn't so even as I thought it was. (see screenshot)

I' will need to bring things up to a more even level. I currently have 2 components in development which should be done withing the next 2 races. Hope that will improve the stability a bit.

mad

I personally think they could with a few minor modifications to the gravel traps and runoff. Only problem you would have is that there would be no overtaking on the track at all due to the 2 fast chicanes that made up the first two corners. At least the hairpin todays F1 being the way it is added some overtaking possibilities.

Quote from Linsen :

So you are Cam Racing!

Aha, I was wondering the same thing, I was with Cam Racing in one or two seasons. Fast team, was wondering who they were

to the comment above! I thought the very same thing, when my parts replaced the standard Ferrari parts i was still buying a Ferrari chassis. I did that for two seasons until i figured what was what! Then I stopped throwing my money away. It was a slow learning curve to figure out the application interface. I didn't really bother the first few seasons.

mad

edit: forgot to add, I am having problem with stability, my car stability is 55% even though my chassis is evenly developed?? Any tips on how to get the car more stable?

My first race in div 7 wasn't too bad. One of my drivers crashed out but the other finished 3rd. I think i would have got atleast 3,4 places if it wasn't for the crash.

My chassis is still very crap too...

Quote from ATC Quicksilver :

Nascar.

Haha ATC... my vote goes to beg Ron

Quite a kind draw i feel for the Czechs too, Poles are a good side though.

Quote from Bladerunner :

btw Madman...how the heck did you lose all that money?? by this time you should be making at least 10 mill per race profit!!!

Heh, well i didn't have a pro until my 14th season or something like that so I was totally relying on the sponsors. Now that I have my second company i am starting to make some good money per race. But still my profit with the sponsors and second company is only 4.2mil now. I have all facilities 5 star and all research up to level 5. Slowly but surely I am getting there but I could do with some more cash. I should have bought the pro account earlier :P

My chassis inst that great either so i think i will get whooped!

I lost all my money though by putting all of it in my second company, I had 1.6m left and then i was hiring department staff, i by accident selected the wrong guy so i went back and went to change manager and picked the one i wanted, only thing i forgot was that probably the other one will have to be paid off! bah! then i saw my account go down to 10,000 so I am really poor now lol!

Quote from Linsen :

As long as you're making profit, you can race even with £0 on the bank afaik.

Pheew!

Glad to hear that then! now that I have done 18 seasons.

Currently in division 7

Man.. help! I have just made a mistake and used up nearly all of my money. I only have 10 000 left in my account. Can i enter the next race with that??? Really panicking as before didn't you need 300 000 in the bank to enter a race??

worried!

anyone know what the deal is

Quote from sinbad :

Will he, or James Toseland for that matter, even be considered for the BBC's sports personality of the year? No.

You are so right! Maybe it is because his name sounds French but joking aside I think Andy deserves to at least be nominated. Three WTCC titles in a row is quite an achievement. But i guess Lewis Hamilton is desting to win it this year... the hype over Hamilton makes it difficult NOT to pick him.

Quote from thisnameistaken :

Wander around any suburban development on a weekend and what can you hear? The sound of a hundred and one lawnmowers buzzing away all ****ing afternoon.

Ohh hell, the sound of lawnmowers becomes so flipping irritating. I can't stand them. Every time I see one i just want to throw something at the guy from the flat window!! :chairs: And is it me, or do they cut the grass every week now? They seem to have an obsession will grass here in Portsmouth every time it reaches 3 cm. Grrr

Anyway, petition signed! It would be sad for England to loose another race track. There aren't enough as it is!

Quote from tristancliffe :

Total Profits per race = £43,162,333

:eye-poppi:jawdrop:

That's some profit! Makes me wish I got my pro account earlier!

I have invested 21 million and have the company up to level 5 in research and it is currently sitting 19th in the world.

It does help that you get some nice cash in return.

I was also baffled, in my last 12th devision i finished 1-2 every single race and totally pwned the division to my surprise as the previous 13th devision i finished 3rd in the team championship. Nothing really changed between the 13 and then 12th division so i don't know why it was so easy.

Now i am in the 10th division.

btw I have a question, does anyone bother with the second company? i have invested some serious cash but i still make merchandise that falls apart in the wash LOL

mad

Yeah me too, I was eating my breakfast at the time and nearly choked to death due to sheer laughter!

I don't actually know what he thought he would achieve. How the feck can you shoot a nut free with a gun let alone a shotgun.

The more i think about it and try to imagine how exactly that would work the more I find myself gasping in disbelief at some people's stupidity.

Did have a choking chuckle over it though.

mad

btw... did any one read this?

WTF????
even though it is totally unrelated to the thread...

Ok, so I was just browsing the bbc news website when I have come across this article. I couldn't believe what I was reading. I thought it was a joke at first but no..... it really happened.

There are some weird and crazy people out there (in possession of guns)

Crazy stuff!

mad

haha... classic!

People do weird and funny things.

Smarties for me. In Czech Reoublic they are called Lentilky but are virtually the same thing. Love them! mnmnmn

I like peanuts, but not with chocolate so i don't like the nutty version of M&Ms.

Hmm handy little tool, will try it out. One thing I have always wondered is whether pit lane length varies between tracks (as in real life)? It doesn't look like it does as the times seem to be nearly the same every race...

still, handy tool

thanks

mad

awww... the cry baby will have to look for a new pram!

Quote from Bob Smith :

Ah dammit, so I'll finally come back to Portsmouth to see you and you won't be there?

hehe.. you didn't tell me you were coming back, git! Well i can stay if you pay me

Quote from BlackEye :

It's good I don't go out much then

And usually I'm drunk hour later, so I don't see much anyway. Everything ok for me

Rakija is gooooooooooood
