and then starts wrecking, trying to get other folk blamed for their poor choice of parking space etc.

What does "<8*)" mean?

Note that the triangle is a solid one and the asterix is in the middle and is a circle when typed. I know crashers use it but is it linked to a particular group?

It's a clown face.

thats one ugly clown! lol

No <3 for the clown

Never seen it before, is it dissabled in S2 content?

Not disabled, but most people who want a serious racing simulation are older than 3 and therefore don't use it.

Now I don't find my own post funny any more

Exceptions apply. I know one or two people who use that (or similar) and are respected and perfectly capable of racing properly in a serious racing simulation.

AFAIK it is not associated with any particular group or crasher (see preceeding paragraph), just a smiley there as any other.

Are you implying that those of us who recognised it are childish and immature?

You're damn right if you did

Just checking.

Just about everytime I've seen it though, it means the typer is a village idiot by trade. I would launch into a rant about what two village idiots working in tandem did to me today but I'll say this. I'm getting mighty sick of people who press 1 for a ban vote because someone told them to eg: Press 1 for nitrous, press 1 to ban this n00b etc. It's even worse when people vote for you to get banned for driving cleanly but won't vote for the idiots who park up in the middle of the road and smash into people.

Does remember me of a couple of days ago...
I was on demo (don't know why)
I go in pit, drive out, I touch a car and:

guy1 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [1 of 8]
guy2 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [2 of 8] press 1
guy1: BAN BAN BAN
guy1: BAN BAN BAN
guy3: why?
guy1: BAN BAN BAN
guy3 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [3 of 8] press 1
guy1: BAN BAN BAN
guy1: press 1 for NOS
guy1: press 1 for porn
guy4 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [4 of 8] press 1
guy1: press 1 for porn
guy5 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [5 of 8] press 1
guy6 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [6 of 8] press 1
guy1: press 1 for NOS
guy7 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [7 of 8] press 1
guy1: press 1 for NOS
guy8 votes to ban BlakjeKaas [8 of 8]

BlakjeKaas kicked (or what will show up in English)

So I got back to S2... :P

Oh man,this got me laughing for 5 minutes,so damn funny...or maybe im toot tired^^But thats really howit is,which demo driver wouldnt press one if there was the chance to get NOS

PCCD I think the moral of this story is buy S2 Licence as soon as you can there is a much better crowd than on the demo servers and I see very few kicks or bans just lots and lots of fair racers and many great races

SD.

The amount of times I've seen that happen thoughillepall

I'm sure there are some actual n00bs who think that they don't qualify as newbies because they've played the game twice.

I will confess though, I have used the "press 1 for NOS" thing to get rid of a wrecker before. He claimed that him parking up on the chicane and driving into everyone was my fault

Seriously do some people get high or something before playing LFS?

I thought I remembered you from a previous, very involved discussion on the differences between demo and S2 servers that you started, so went to see.

Nothing, as far as I can figure out, is different from before. The demo user decent:tosser ratio is about the same as ever, where the S2 licenced decent:tosser ratio continues to favour the decent driver by about 50,000:1 (guestimate, 80% confidence).

I can only suggest the same thing as everyone suggested last time. Until/unless you spring for a licence, I'm pretty confident that the next 6 weeks will be comparable to the last 6 weeks. Only you can make the change

Sometimes one gets high...but one usually ends up being too paranoid to race, so one tends just to park up in the sand and put on some ambient techno while one reads graphic novels, eats Pringles and makes lists of games that one may want in the future.

Thats the msg of a known wrecker on demo servers. This guy is from iDi and crashes on purpose. [iDi]Mafia thats his real name i think , but he used to change to names of guys that actually are on server.

Guy's a looser, cant drive so he does what every d**ckhead can - crash. What a pity

Get urself a full ver of lfs

You should get a full version too

i have found that redline racing to is like jumping out of the pot (demo) and in to the frying pan (RR2)....its where the demo users run to when they first join simply cos its blackwood....

I have you know, iDi Mafia is/was actually fast, I told him he sucked back in my demo days because he crashed us and had a DECENT rcae with him, this was old patch but I guess you can't lose being fast at BL.

And I doubt it's the same one, I bet numerous people use the same name, some people are idiots I guess so they will think its cool to be Mafia.

I've seen a fair few folk with different names copying that kind of thing. Pretty sure I've run into mafia as well.
