G'day, just checked in to have a look and wow, what a response.
Its good to know there are people who like me believe that you should not drive on the grass.

As for the others, thanks for speaking out and well, please don't come to my host, cause i'd rather drive alone please.
As for you kenn, I read your reply and wow, yet again, you go off half cocked and under prepared, more worried about being labeled a cheater, than actually changing your ways.
Included in your reply kenn, were 2 photo's of me running 2 wheels across the grass. What u conveniently failed to mention was the following:
At the time these pics were taken:
1.NARA HOST was still in development, Raimo is Programmer, OBP 55(me) is in charge of blocking all potential shortcuts, on all tracks. (Kenn you Knew i was making 55 layouts named "nocut" and testing them all for shortcuts) so don't play dumb, or act like u forget now, thats just a lie, by omission. shame on you.
look at the pics, You will also notice there are no objects placed yet. proof you got me during development looking for shortcuts. Good job Kenn !
2. What u also know kenn, (cause we told you) but again failed to mention because YOU are the angry one, is that since then, Raimo and I went to LFSW and Deleted all our PB's !! (but to tell everyone that, wouldn't prove your point would it...hmmm)
So Mate, you really are reaching. How about a replay, that shows me cutting the corner hitting objects, everylap like you were doing, it wont happen becuase I dont do it. and if i did, why would I put objects all over my own track ? Thats just craziness bro... you should have thought your post through first
3. NARAARR has No specific rules for cutting you say ken... I put bales and cones there. These objects mate, the ones off the track... are an "UN-Spoken" rule: DONT HIT THEM !!!
You say I don't have a "No Shortcut" rule. Kenn, you really want things spelt out so u can read ?
Do i need to have a rule that says don't run other drivers off the road ? so that you will know this ? or do you already know ?
If you already know this then you know what an "Unspoken-Rule" is.
kenn, I EXPECT good behaviour in my server, I don't ask for it.
You dont think hitting 8 cones everylap is breaking our un-spoken rule ?, what about when I put bales in 5 minutes later ? I'm the host, that was my rule, and you complained for an hour about a bale that wasn't even on the track. The cones and bales ARE our rules. (the un-spoken ones remember ?) you broke those rules every lap, lap after lap, refused to stop when warned and hence u were banned form our host.
Ur post kenn, contains quotes from other people, but you dont have too much to say for yourself, you even fail to discuss the subject ! "Is the red or green line cutting" you seem more concerned with trying to tarnish my name, than to improve the tattered image of your own.
After this post, I wont be Looking back. I will not attempt to convince those of you who are cheating, not to. How can I tell a "Multiplayer" World Record Holder to stop cutting the grass, when he knows thats what he has do to to get the next one ?
I should also remember, for myself that this simuluator, the one i get up each day to drive in, is considered a game by many people, (yeah all you who said grass is ok to drive on) and that as long as you are playing a game, and I a simulator, we'll never get on, because you drive to win at ALL costs, I drive to win while having FUN, and being CHALLENGED.
Why don't you go into llfs "Hotlapping" I know ill pull the same times approx. level with my PB's, will you ?
Just a few comments before I go to:
Timdpr - You dont know what kenn said to me about cutting my track, you werent there bro, dont act like you were !!! wow you'd say anything wouldn't ya!
pearcy 2k7 - You say getting dirt on ur tyres will slow you down for the next corner, In the Most part I agree, but this still does not cover the topic about is it right or not to be on the grass in the first place. and also, for cars like RB4, Grass isn't always a problem on the next turn.
KAW - Using a "little bit of the grass" is the same as using a whole heap of grass, in real life, this throws crap on the road and makes it difficult for the drivers behind, once or twice by accident, but every lap ? na
Dajmin - fairly well said bro, but youll be suprised what people want to try, even through the sand. From time to time, Ive actually seen people get through there and come out the other side fairly ok ! so yeah hence the bails in the sand area.
S14 Drift - I agree that the Lap record involves Shortcutting. but take a look at the pic above, ur telling me this is ok ? (This is what kenn was doing). I disagree.
March Hare & boothy - Good idea, but I prefer to drive more than I watch, and sifting through replays looking for problems is to time consuming. Besides the cutter, got to stay in the race the whole time and effect others like the butterfly effect.. not good
Zen321 - You seem like my type of driver, your welcome anytime.
frokki - Well put champ.
gezmoor - Yeah mate, you got the right idea.
[DUcK] - Yes the Kerbing can be considered part of the track, but no the grass is never considered part of the track, It is OFF the track. So if u have 2 wheels on the grass, then 1 side of your car is "Off" the track, sounds simple to me !
DevilDare says: and what where you trying to prove with this post? like everyone else said, 2 tyres on grass is fine. Stop whining about people beating you and go play some more...
***Mr Devildare, Learn to read champ. firstly, not everyone else said 2 tyres on the grass was ok, (Read back, [if you know how to read]) so yeahh errmm hmmm smart comment
southamptonfc - Good one bro
Forbin - says: Dirt on the tires slows you down A LOT for the next corner anyway.
If a particular line is HLVC legal, I don't see why anyone should have a problem with it.
***This is all i can do/show for this one....
bbman - Well said mate
So yeah, kenn. not only do i think you are a cheat, but now i think you are a liar. you were told by Raimo. and I on many occasions about this, and your being banned from our server was a
joint decision made to protect the scoreboards, for the honest people. You were no longer producing competitive times and were looking for an edge, well i'm sorry bro, cutting is not the way to do it. So i guess now, youll say Raimo has something personal against you.
saying I take it personally, is just a ruse to hide the real question....
Are you prepared to stop cutting across the grass ?
