Yeah, it was sad to see my website go up in flames this morning. It was good while it lasted, thanks to Phil (the salesman/tutorial guy) who set me up with everything I needed.
Well..I was never given any idea
Also, I would like to apologize for my awful bit of rough driving I had when I got back in lapped traffic...I must have late-braked into the back of people at least 2 or 3 times...I hate doing that..
I will take by this that my substitute did not show up to drive the #7 Guess Motorsports entry last weekend?
So are these four sessions eventually linked?
IE: If I run a 36.93 avg and shenri runs a 36.92 average in a totally different session
He would get the pole correct? Or would I get it because I was in another session, and his session was after mine?

I think you should allow rejoin.
If someone is having a really bad time, and has a wrecked car and is almost a lap down, they could just unplug their modem, come back w/ a fresh car and get all their laps back.
I agree they should be able to rejoin, but w/o laps counted.

Lizard is considering changing it to SO Classic, that is why.
A Scheduling Proposal
Okay.
As we all know, the first race was a total screwed up mess, everything was everywhere, and everything was nothing etc. etc. The second race improved quite a bit but there was still some screwed up things. I have been employed by an admin to post this poll to get your opinion on what should we do.
Should we
=======================================================
A. - Scrap both races, start fresh THIS WEEKEND at Kyoto (Redoing the season opener) and move on to SO Classic the week after that. (This would null both races before, and the BLGP race would not exist)
B. - Scrap both races, start fresh THIS WEEKEND at Blackwood REV (redoing last weeks race) and move on to SO Classic the week after that. (This would null both races before and the Kyoto Opener race would not exist)
C. - I hate you Admins, your ideas are stupid and you all should go play in traffic, let me enjoy my one week vacation and I will unload in two weeks at SO Classic with my bitches in tow.

I, shank, holder of 100's of skins disagree with this. 
Life made easy, thank you morpha!!
if that can't be done...its just a simple quickchat away
if you have time to curse out an opponet, i'm sure time to talk to the tower wouldn't be a problem
(Todd, just using you as an example :-P )

Proposal
Okay, first off: The admininstration did a great job with what they were given this week. Chat was a bare minimum but obviously there were some flaws. I will deal with that. Wrecking under cautions was also interesting, and I have a solution for that, and my final solution considers restarts.
==========
Restarts
==========
Okay, on restarts:
I have 2 suggestions, one of which I went over with Astra. Everyone seems to speed up as they come to the green, about ten miles per hour over the speed limit. It doesn't matter how many warnings people are given, it's still going to happen. What if we keep the safety car out on the track, and the green flag is signaled by the spectation of the safety car. He spectates (IE: just before the line), and the leader knows to accelerate because the safety car is gone. All people in line will notice "Safetycar has joined the spectators" and know to accelerate.
2. No matter what path is taken in the before situation, something needs to be done about the passing. Both weeks people have been penalized for passing. Ken was penalized for passing because he took advantage of a situation and backed off, letting the cars in front get ahead. He then made sure he was accelerated before the green dropped in an effort to pass the cars as soon as possible. This is a strategy outlawed in NASCAR, but is not defined in the rules. He was penalized for passing before the s/f line. This week Niki and I passed before the s/f line due to the fact that the vehicles in front of us were so slow that if we had attempted to stop it would have resulted in a huge pileup that would have made more work for the admins, more work for the safety cars, more laps added onto the race, and long story short: more work. I believe that the law should be in effect that restarts are free game to an extent. You can pass when the green is thrown, but if you are caught laying back to an extent (determined by admins) then you are going to be penalized. This allows people who have spent time on their gears to prevail, it also allows faster cars to get by lapped vehicles. Most importantly if the leader accidentally shifts to fifth gear, everybody doesn't lock up into 5 o' clock traffic and rear end him.
==============================================
Chatting
=================================================
Long live no chatting. It was hard for me to do at times, but even I, a super-chatter enjoyed a race with no chat. However here is something I would like to try, and personally I think it would be a great idea. We had three admins last race. A safety car (2?) and Race Control (Also 2?). Some people have questions regarding the incident and what started it etc. SOme people wish to know what lap the leader is on (IE: if they're a lap down). There is some general information, as well as different questions, perhaps a small debate that might need to be handled. If there is something that is totally relevant and not stupid, you should be able to ask/tell an admin. (IE: toddshooter is driving eradically under cautions). However, something like (IE: OMG TODDSHOOTER IS A NOOB WTF HE JUST WRECKED ME!!!!!) would be considered biased spam and you may be asked to clarify and/or get a penalty for spamming the admin. The idea is still to get a no-chat atmosphere. To talk to the admin you would do this
N. Đaković: #42 to tower, requesting permission to (ask a question/correct an error) regarding (situation)
Race Marshall: Permission Granted N. Đaković, you may speak.
N. Đaković: Thank you Race Marshall, what is the cause of the last caution?
Race Marshall: The driver of the #29 merged into a lane that was already occupied resulting in a racing incident involving the #28 as well.
N. Đaković: Thank you Race Marshall.

I have 2 ideas that will be posted in another thread. Feel free to read.
They're up.

Reason : They're up.

Truex fails epicly, on start, and because the other drivers had no where to go...a serious wreck occurred because of the momentum already gained by the cars behind. (Feel free to note the cars all passing before the s/f line)
Our situation allowed us an escape route, much like a few cars in that video.
If we had chosen to get bottlenecked up, that would have happened *Points to video*
I know for a fact I passed before the line, it's just that it was justifyable.

+82 to you, that's how it is in NASCAR (to an extent) and kart racing.
(Niko, MSN me (Crackabob@Hotmail) and I'll send you the replay.)
Not saying anything.

Reason : EDIT
Explanation: The caution was thrown...about 20-30 seconds later you come blazing by. I then procede to catch up to the field with the rest of the people behind me. I use the standard nascar-style procedure to express the fact that a position was taken from me. The admin then granted me my position and the race went on.
=--=-=-=--=-==-=
Explanation #2 (Ken): The green flag was thrown and Niki gunned it, and I followed. Niki opened a hole between about 2 or 3 different cars. I followed him through, realizing that you guys probably ran into each other up there and braked to avoid incident. At our speed if we had attempted to brake and avoid you as the hole was closing; it would have been a total 8-car pileup mayhem.
-=-=-===-==--==-
Lap 1, Turn 1: I caused that entire wreck, and take full responsibility for my agressive driving. I made the stupid mistake of thinking that cold tyres could handle a full-on balls out attempt at the inside under one of the CORE guys. I apologize to people involved.
EDIT: I'd like to make a proposal that 5 bonus points are given to BigTime, and Tea (and other well-performing disconnectees) who really deserved the toughluck award after the disconnects.
Indy = NASCAR? 
lol, you're the admin but I believe for caution's sake that SO be omitted.

I think in exchange he should donate a storm servers t-shirt to all participants of the league. 
+1 for removing SO....throw in aston instead, and swap race 3 and four so it's a 50/50 variety.
