juss stoppin by and i saw this thread is alive somewhat lol... anyways about the whole different drift whatever... i let my team drift however they felt like they wanted to drift... what i really liked about it is that everyone had different styles of drifting and ways of doin it... the team was a group of drift enthusiasts, friends, and family... sorry for whatever trouble you guys had with my members or the team... and im with mc i will never take off the shikd tag(even though i dont play much).. peace out guys and see you around

lol its ok mr kiyo xD

Quote from MOSTWANTEDM3 :

As Gordon has said , some of these arrogant noobs think they are "pro" when i asked them " what makes you a pro ? , is the term pro nothing but a title , doesnt pro mean to drift every car with style instead of the same old XRT that everyone else uses ? " when i did this i was called out to a battle ( meaning for points ) i told this person no , i dont battle for points , i dont battle at all , some of these people need to grow up and learn that life is not in front of your eyes with something called the internet , and for the insim problem it should be taken off cause everytime i try to connect i lag out and have to reconnect everytime thanks for reading this ,

we're done talkin about that already O.o...

this was my response

Quote from subhumanspunk :

hmm... what i find funny is when the server didnt have a lapper we were bombarded with a whole bunch of requests of putting one in, and now that we do its the same things all over again... and what MC said, it was given to someone that we thought was a trustworthy person who actually was in the team and then somehow found it was his/her right to give the password away without the team's permission which eventually lead to a whole bunch of people getting the password... i totally agree with you guys about the whole road rage thing, whenever someone gets tapped slightly they blow off and start calling the person noob etc. thats why i usually just dont talk in the server, so if any of you guys tried saying hi to me once or twice in the server and you were ignored sorry for that a lot of people just piss me off in the server too much and all this stupid drama over a damn racing game for crying out loud is just unacceptible and it's just pathetic.. i used to go on lfs to drift, have fun, and blow some stress from a days work but it just gets ruined by people who just likes to starts things that really isnt neccessary... i already asked the person who's paying for the hosting in 500servers to change the password so hopefully he changes it soon so there's no more of this admin abuse which has been a problem for our server since it's demo days... and sorry for the inconvenience

P.S.
to those who were banned for the wrong reasons or think they were banned wrongly pls send an e-mail to [email protected] with your lfs username, the reason they were banned or what they think the reason for the banning is, and who banned them(if you know who it was)

anyways im not quitting... i just havent found the time to get on >.<

Due to my lack of attendance in LFS I am turning the team over to someone that does play and is active to keep this team running. I am not quitting the team or the game, however I haven't been really attentive to our team whatsoever due to my sporadic schedule. I'll still be here and play once in a while, or try to play as often as I can. Anyways, I will be turning the team over to someone I trust and someone that I believe can manage this team well. I've already spoken to him and there will be changes and I know for sure that after these changes the team will be back in its full glory. I have turned this team over to MC, he will be the one to make decisions for this team and I've asked him to also appoint a few members to help him with this task. Anyways good luck to all of you and I'll see you guys around in the track.

P.S.
It was an honor to lead a bunch of talented drivers that were in this team, I would have loved to stay and manage but my schedule makes it so that I lack the time to watch over it. As I said before, inactivity does not necessarily mean death. Being in a team in LFS is not a full time job so I expect people to understand that some or maybe more people will not be seen for a while, this just means they don't have time to play unlike others who do. And as I've promise and told everyone that asked me, Shikane Drifters will never die as long as I don't quit and completely stop playing. This is not a good bye note btw, but I'd like to say thanks to everyone that helped me with the team and in LFS. See you guys hopefully sooner than later.

this was with our old server... its down now since im jobless and i cant pay for the server xD the Shikane Drift Server password is only kept around with trusted people and the team

someone has been giving away our server password without our knowing and uses them irresponsibly and abuses it... i'm sorry for having an undesirable visit to our server but we're trying to sort this problem out... so this means resetting the password again for the 1000th time T_T

here's the new tandem duo website http://www.tandemduo.shikanedrifters.com/

Quote from mc906 :

good job i sense drift comps sponsored by the real slide fx team is in the lfs future

yup =D so lucky lol

Quote from IDA-Itsuki :

nice layout but
umm
wheres the challenge?

i took it out since it was gonna be used in our server... i made it wide enough so people can go through it with some kind of ease... the original layout i had could barely fit the full length of the car when drifting

Quote from greg_slideways :

You can if you drift only the tight corners and not drift drfit jus powerslide!

O.o... i didnt understand that... anyways thanks for the comments guys

We have 2 servers now =D there was some confusion about the other Shikane Drifters server but we finally figured out what had happened. Long story short, one of our team members won us a free 1 year hosting on 500servers by accident =]

yep drift gauge =] and thanks cash, glad you like it =]

lol its not a style of drifting... its a track within a track xD most of you guys dont see the point here which is why most are complaining... it's not anyone's line... its a whole new track inside the chicane route with different levels of corner difficulty... you're supposed to make a new line to clear it... you adjust to it not have it adjust to you... its like going on a different track... also in my opinion its a great place to practice throttle control and braking... just my opinion tho... and i havent seen a drop of users going into my server since i put it on there, its been pretty constant and its always full at the peak points... but i everyone is entitled to their opinions =]

forgot to add that =X here you go

Alright first off, just to warn you all, this layout has become a big controversy in our server. Some like it and some don't. Some think it's too tough, some accept the new challenge, and 1 person(me) thinks it should be made tighter =X(that wont happen though). I made this layout for the chicane route due to boredom and the track not really having enough challenge anymore and so this layout was born. I originally made it using the XRT but I also drifted it with the FZ5, RAC, and RB4 and drifted through it without problem once i got used to the car. Anyways here it is. You can either download it and practice it for yourself or you can come to our server and go through it there.
