Quote from Asphalt Scream :...A lot of toy throwing...

Dude chill out! The answers to your questions are in this very thread. To make it easier I have quoted them for you. Obsolum didn't suggest you read the whole forum, he suggested you read this thread again as you had obviously missed what I have quoted below.



Quote from Chaos :and I will not promote the mod, one> because the people from Skoda Auto have not yet said it could be made public, two> this is not the place for that...

Quote from Chaos :no, I will not give a link, read my previous post for the reasons... The only thing I can give you are these 2 photos> http://www.facebook.com/#!/alb ... 82921&id=111081706057

Quote from obsolum :Oh how horribly wrong and uninformed you are

Surely this is opinion anyway so, by definition, neither of you can be wrong.

Remember that we are only hearing one side of the story here. On top of that we are hearing a side of the story comming from someone who feels hard done by in the deal.

I'm willing to bet that a look at the correspondance from both sides would change the whole look of this thread.

Quote :...and after about a year of the thing being in the status "yes, it will be" it changed to "no, sorry" ...

Without seeing the email you sent them asking for a status update this means nothing. Also based on the way you have written in this thread I can't see it being the nicest of emails. We all know that the devs have got bogged down with tyre physics etc. and an email asking for an update on something that they likely put on the back burner could have steered them towards saying "lets just not bother with that then"

Finally you are saying you didn't even bother asking them about the Skoda so this thread is really just another "whinge at the devs" thread with a "lets wind the locals up" thrown in.


Edit:
Quote :No, my point is to poke the devs a bit, to get moving a get things done...

So my last paragraph was right then? I'd put a lot of money on there being more to this truck thing than you are letting on.

Quote from JayEyeBee :A massive assumption indeed. I'm sure if you think even for a second you can come up with a couple of good reasons. In my case, "the better thing to do" was drive my daughter to an event every Sunday evening.
I admire the intestinal fortitude it takes to stick out a fairly long season with little chance for success. I don't think you need to insult the guys who don't have that same quality (and make no mistake, it is insulting). I entered the league in good faith, and I while I don't feel good about missing the last few races, neither do I feel particularly bad.

Don't take what I say personally mate. I know that can't be the reason for everyone (massive assumption and all that). I know some would love to be able to turn up no matter what their chances but you have to admit it does appear that way for a number of the others that just don't bother any more.

Oh well only 1 round left.

Gonna have to practice that new chicane at fe green. (assuming it stays there)

I don't seem to be able to have a round without being taken out, having a noob moment (not enough fuel, speeding in pits) or some external influence!

At least I still turn up though, unlike many that appear to not be bothered now that they can't win. (a massive assumption, I know, but what else could it be?) Is this a common occurance in leagues? This is my first.

10 laps from the end of the feature race and my wife knocks the router, disconnecting me from the internet! Most annoying

The last post about the development work from scawen was in March, which was indeed just a few lines of text. The one you mention in November was FAR from just a few lines of text.

Again, lets not let facts get in the way of a good troll eh?

Quote from SmegFirk :I see some teams have submitted a set of skins where they have more than 5 which are the same paint job.

Personally I have always liked the idea that a team has colours and it doesn't matter whether they are 10 or 2, team colours are team colours.

I don't know how I can say this without sounding like an arse, but if you are going to continue with this rule of only 5 cars allowed to look the same please can you make sure the other teams realise this. I have had to split FM in half and it would be quite frustrating if when it comes to the race other teams did not have to go through this inconvenience.

Thats assuming FM isn't the only team who manages to get more than 5 members into the race

Ahh they are also have a +1 for summer time at the moment so they are GMT + 2 right now. So that'll be 2am for qually for you ElonB13

I just see no need for the hostility all the time. If he doesn't want to help then fine but to type what he did was longer than typing UTC=GMT.

Then I'm flaming someone for flaming. Where's my ironing board?

Prehaps he didn't realise that UTC = GMT. Why don't you just help instead of trying to be clever?

ElonB13, that's 1am for you. Same as me

Quote from dadge :sorry dude, i don't understand the point you're making. i'm not arguing. some people don't like spiders, mice and so on. i don't like elitist attitudes. even more so when the person with the attitude is nothing special to begin with in the first place. (only 50% of her races end in a podium)

The way I read rockclan's post was that he was agreeing with you and adding his part to it.

Quote from obsolum :My apologies to bring this back up 'cause it's off topic but I just thought I'd say I find that comment rather amusing as for the past couple of days I checked the number of players on the IHR server a few times - just out of curiosity - and it never had more than 3 or 4 players on (of which 1 or 2 are just idling there and not even racing) So yeah... obviously the racing will be fairly clean that way if you have just 1 or 2 people going round the track

No doubt you'll tell me that I checked at the wrong times and that there's always plenty of people on at the right times and whatnot, and I'm not going to argue about that as that may well be so. I'm just saying it never had any significant amount of people on at the times I checked, including right now which is generally considered to be more or less the busiest time on LFS servers.

Nope, not going to tell you that you checked at the wrong times because you are quite right, IHR is not a busy server any more. If anything it's a lot more like your favourite server these days (spends a lot of time empty and at it's busiest has 10-15 racers). Therefore it is a lot cleaner. I've seen it posted many times on here, if you want a clean server then join one with about 10 racers or less. The fact we don't even allow newbies to race helps this. How much it helps will always be open to debate.

It's actually the point that I've been trying to make for a while as loads of people still judge it on how it was a few months ago before we put the minimum standard in place. Cargame WAS growing well and when we stopped all the newbies from racing and recommended cargame to them, they went there. I'm NOT saying cargame only got busy/became the busiest because of what we did but I am saying it helped.

RenvoN, it's not dead. It may be dead TO YOU, if you call any server that hasn't got grids of 20+ cars dead. You are entitled to your opinion but your opinion is not fact.

Quote from Dmt :tbh, then I miss old database, there was everything you needed, atm there is no place where you could make lfs designed for you. So I support Lible.

So you are moaning that there isn't enough content?

Content needs to be uploaded.

There has already been at least one comment in this thread questioning whether bose had permision to upload some of the content so he's hardly likely to spend hours finding and uploading content if he's just going to be slammed for (possibly) not having permission.

Instead of whining (ok it was more of a "I support a site that is not there yet" than a whine) about it you could help by finding the content you want, asking permission then uploading it. Then you would have a "place where you could make lfs designed for you".

Quote from SCA-F1 :I'm in, even though I've got my hardest exam tomorrow, God, how I'll regret this...

Dude, your exam results will affect the rest of your life. This is a practice session which will affect nothing for you other than the fun of the race. Think more seriously about it. You've already said you'll regret it.

Not that it's any of my business but take it from someone who is nearly 40 and only now not struggling for money due to fart arsing around and not taking exams seriously.

Except the fact that the scirocco wasn't released because without an overhaul of the tyre physics Scawen wasn't happy with it.

Was that added last night when Scawen had to close yet another scirocco thread? I reckon he probably was thumping the keys in annoyance and just missed that one letter.

Quote from djfatrod :I believe the league racing experience is different but I am yet to sign up with any. They seem like quite closed communities so it is a little intimidating to just walk in.

Don't worry about it. Sign up and get stuck in. Yes there are those that act like they own place but just ignore them and enjoy the race. The admins are generaly nice people, they are doing all the organising for nothing afterall, and will be glad to see new racers.
