Well blackbird designed an insim application that you can close which has a chat inrace. Its kinda like a window and you can chat but you cant race at the same time. ppl who get DNF'd could use it while people racing could simply close it. Wouldnt cause lag either. If your interusted I can ask him
i've just proved I did not talk extensively, I did NOT talk until I disconnected, I rejoined and said Argh Disconnected on 9th lap
I hate my internet etc etc
and then said Deko will I be recorded as DNF on 9th lap?
and he said yes.
Then when SESSION STOPPED Came up and people were pulling up into the pit lane, I started talking and so did EVERYONE ELSE.
I've got proof, Screenshots.
hey, I didn't post that to rat people out or to make enemies I too talked a good amount in round 2 and it was made clear that no talking was allowed. So when I watched the replay for round 3, it kind of made me upset actually that no one seemed to learn from the previous round!
I did watch the replay and yes you did not chat until you disconnected and rejoined. At that point, you sent 8 messages before the red flag when a simple "Disconnected, may I rejoin?" would have been fine. To me, that is excessive (considering people were penalized for only 2 messages in the last race) but my opinion matters not since I'm not involved with running this league
If my penalty for chatting is not cleared, I am quitting LFSBC because I think that I did not deserve that penalty and if it isn't cleared I won't allow the penalty to happen.
you don't need proof, watch the replay to see why I was talking - I disconnected and then talked in the parc ferm because I though the race is over.
If anyone needs screenshots then sure, contact me via msn and I'll get them sent over before you can say Send!
So when are you guys looking at the penalties? I heard over the weekend, needs to be tomorrow asap because I'm not practicing until I get the "Cleared penalty" sign and if it doesn't happen then I'm out of LFSBC as I previously stated.
I need lots of practice firstly, its a race I've never played - except in a cruise server - so I don't know any of the track and I need to start practicing for it.
Quote from PM sent to me by Dekojester: (if you want to remove this deko, go ahead)
The offending statement (I think - attached):
Punished under rule 1.4 of the rulebook.
IMO, a bit harsh but rules are rules.
Also, the response given to Nightmare, 'yes', is incorrect, as he has the choice to re-join the race and continue. Deko, after you read this, please give your thoughts.
