this is like one of those "i got banned" threads, except i didn't actually get banned, and i'm not upset, i just think it's funny.
joined a server hosted by a team (who shall remain unnamed to save them the embarrassment). several team members were on, and a few randoms like me.
car selection was not restricted, so i picked my favorite car, the fxr, and did a couple of laps before being tele-pitted by an admin. the team were driving the xfr and didn't want unfair competition. their server, their rules, i'm ok with that, so i switched cars. i'd never driven the xfr before, but i still clobbered them, then took a break for a few mins.
when i returned, they had switched to the xrr, so i switched back to the fxr, thinking that any gtr class car would be acceptable. a couple laps into the race i was well in the lead, and *poof* tele-pitted again. arguement ensued about whether or not the fxr was faster than the xrr and i nearly got myself banned, but eventually decided to try the xrr (which i'd also never driven before), and surprise, surprise, i still clobbered the field. i didn't really expect an apology, so i wasn't surprised when i didn't get one, but it would have been nice. after all, i gave them what they wanted in the end, an ass kicking with an unfamiliar car.
(and btw, i'm not fast. i was lapping about 6 seconds off WR pace.)
i just have to laugh that a bunch of guys would go to the trouble of making a team when they still have so much to learn about the game. don't get me wrong, i appreciate the effort of anyone who puts a server up, but come on.... kicking people out of the race just because they drive faster than you, how childish is that?
