"Smidy" - Sorry Mate I didnt See you ^__^

"I'm Sorry I needed you to be my barrier so I could turn Faster"

"WTF!!! Where do you come from you sneaky one"

"Huh? Wah? Sorry I'm Blind"

"Me So Horny, Me Love you long time"

Just a few that I reckon would be a semi funny excuse for a crash :P

Hey, I don't take this game as you seriously as you do!

Argue for 5 minutes at least and then drop this. Works better if you didn't give the place back, too.

he said : sorry i sneezed lol

Excuse by myself.

"sorry, my mouse batteries has gone!!! "

What confuses me is how one could sneeze so hard it causes you to smash into someone at high speed.

Something that could come out of my mouth if i'd play more often:

"My stupid Avira Antivir (tm) minimized the game to show me it's daily stupid splash screen after downloading updates."

I used to race with two sets of pedals - one for a clutch, the other for brake/accelerator. Sometimes (OK, often!) when switching from accelerator to brake - needing to heel/toe - I would miss the brake pedal with my toes and so overshoot the pedals completely, or hit the very tip of the brake pedal and flip the whole unit over, or sometimes I'd just kick the pedals away from myself and have to retrieve them with my feet. I didn't have another foot to hold the thing down.

So if I've ever said to you that "my pedal broke" or something similar, it's true!

"oh sorry, haven't been online for so long"

"i cant get used to new wheel"

"shit car"

"shit setup"

Person crashes into me, my car rockets around like a pinball, he gets away without damage.. drives away.. and just when my car comes to a stop after spinning around for what seems to be 2 days.. I see him typing "good race" . Ya, good race.

"sorry i was looking up some stupid excuses"

why i bumped old thread idk

"The trees.... trees...s.... the tress... trees... I see trees.... they're coming at me... and they're fast.... I tried to avoid them but then I crashed into you"

I had a crash because of my dog loool

Whoa I'm featured in this thread. And it isn't because of my excuses!

"Flavio told me to"

Quote from Becky Rose :

It turns out he'd just got a G25 and unwittingly didn't have it centred... A bad call on my part.

ensuring your gear is in a race ready condition is a serious responsibility both in VR and RLR

not a bad call.

Winner.

But in LFS you don't drive to the grid, where you'd certainly notice if your wheel wasn't centred - you're just dropped there. I've started a couple of races tearing off into the wall (luckily, never into the person next to me - yet) because my wheel was rotated one complete turn to the right or left without me realising.

"The race director told me to crash"

or better: Flavio told me to

yadda yadda yadda:sleep1:
why or how it happened is irrelevant.

point is, you went to a race without checking your gear.

it still is your responsibility

Did you not realise the in-game steering wheel was pointed miles off centre?
