Announcing the NiTRa GTR Weekly!

The NiTRa GTR Weekly is, as the name suggests, a weekly race with GTRs. There is no prize (except knowing you were the best!), and it's not part of a league, it's just for fun! To make sure nobody shows any unsportsmanlike behaviour there will be a marshall watching over the race. It seems better that way as you can concentrate on racing rather than trying to click the kick button or complaining about it.

CRC rules are used.

And can we tighten up the chatting in race thing?

DK

Chatting in-race is ok if it's only one or maybe two lines about something race-related and necessary.

Some examples of accepted chat:

• "Sorry" or "Sorry, my bad" etc
  
• "np", "no problem" or "" etc. by the person who was affected by driver who said sorry. If multiple drivers were affected, do not say anything if you were one of them.
  
• If you lost connection, your reason for it, "wireless cut out", "power cut", "rats nibbling on my cables" etc. but keep it to one short line of text then be quiet and spectate or re-join the race.
  
• "good pass". If someone says this do not respond to it.
  
• Pretty much anything said by an admin/marshall. They will have a good reason for it.
  
• A reply to something an admin/marshall has said to you personally, try to keep to the point.
  

Examples of forbidden chat:

• "lol", "rofl", "lmao", "hahaha". This just takes up a line of chat for pretty much nothing.
  
• "you got owned", "i pwn you all", "i am teh l33t". Okay, stop chatting and prove it.
  
• "wah i flipped", "tyres are melting", "omg my clutch!", " i'm wrecked". We probably either already know or don't care, if you're incapacitated, pit and rejoin or spectate.
  
• "setup?", "SETUP", "im can has setup?", "WHO HAS A SETUP?". This is completely inapropriate mid-race, just use RACE_S for now.
  
• "I suck", "i'm gonna lose ", "/me will fail". Well, it's the taking part that counts.
  
• "Dave what are you doing tomorrow?", "lol my mum came in the room and said...", "the other day, like, i was like at this place right...". This is just rude. Don't engage in conversation or say anything unnecessary.
  

...and remember, if you do something like spin out, make a bad move, or just something which you think will make others think you're "newbish", don't feel that you have to justify yourself. It's ok, we all make mistakes, even if it was really stupid.

Save it for after the race.

Can I also say 'Don't constantly ask for sets'? It's annoying...

Also, if an admin/marshall wants to talk, they'd first click your name in the connection list to direct the message to you first, right?

I'm glad you used my /me will fail quote though :P
