Quote from th84 :

I think you will have to come up with a better excuse than that. Im pretty sh**faced 90% of the time i play LFS, and have never wrecked anybody on purpose. And im sure im not the only one... huh Afro? :P

i aint got no afro :-P
shitfaced on what though? thats the question

Quote from SamH :

@Dan
I'm what's known as an LFS fanboy. I think it's great. I love the fact that, day or night, I can find excellent racing on a good many servers, aside other conscientious drivers who will never ever wreck me because they've "had a good day" (per your earliest comment). That's something I want to keep as-is.

If that's unreasonable, I think your grasp on reason is faulty at best.

i know what you mean. i might not be as into it as you, but im pretty into it. what i meant by that anyway, is that it was such a good day that i just wasnt paying much attention to the game. my thoughts were elsewhere. lets not forget that most of the time im playing this game, im under the influence... but what, you gonna arrest me? suspend my license officer?

Quote from banshee56 :

Actually, my post was aimed at this:



...and not you Dan. That is not to say that if you ever come on our server with that language that you won't get perma-banned anyway.

sorry for the mixup my friend.

Quote from SamH :

We all wreck occasionally, AFTER a race. That's normal.

Wrecking someone else's race for your own pleasure or satisfaction is not, and never has been, an acceptable form of behaviour on LFS.

If you bought LFS thinking that it WAS acceptable to enter a server and trash the race in progress, then you should have learned more about what you were buying into when you invested your money in LFS. You wasted £24. You can't fit in with the community. Sorry. Tough. Bye.

Dan, I personally neither care nor dismiss what you say. I hear. But at the end of the day, I just simply choose to protect our servers from your kind of mentality. That's all

thats all good, do what you must. if your going to be that...whats the word... unreasonable, then fine, not like i have much options really. unfortunate how the human race is becoming. cya.

Quote from S k i p p y :

Being a smart ass won't help you either. You didn't hit a nerve with me, I simply don't like people getting banned and then coming here to bitch. I never said I didn't like you. I am trying to give you advice on how not to get banned and stay banned. I don't need to bother you, you posted in a thread full of server admins, what the hell do you expect?

I still say that if you apologized you would find that your permanent bans weren't so permanent.

i havnt bitched yet... and am not going to. show an example maybe of me bitching? and dont be taking shit out of context, like some have been doin...

i think i did say sorry earlier by the way. i dont see what difference it makes. you already know im sorry for going after the end. and if ive knocked some other people in my quest for teh win, due to lack of attention to the side mirrors, then im sorry for that too, but survival of the fittest lol. i mean, i can crash and recover and continue the race, but i see people just go to the pits and proceed to whine.

Quote from Jakg :

i paid my £24 to have CLEAN, FUN races, i don;t see why you have the right to take that away from me

make sure to check that you are reading and understanding what im typing, please. including earlier postings. thank you

Quote from S k i p p y :

random outburst

think i sure did hit a nerve. dont like me, what can i do about that. and meh like i say, this just doesnt bother me. are you trying to bother me? i bet you are huh. lmao.
oh and also, you have replyas blah blah... so were they intentional? i wanna see where you came to that conclusion. give me a link or something. i watched the earlier ones and they made me laugh for some reason. im not trying to push it with the admins, oh mighty ones you really need that stick removed from your bunghole

Well, if he enjoys that but doesn't want to spoil other people's fun, he can go crashing into the AI in offline mode.

This is LFS, not destruction derby. I play LFS to race, not to create crashes, and I certainly don't think I need you to tell me to go because I don't like wrecking. You make it seem like LFS is a crashing game, and everybody that doesn't like that should just go if they don't like it illepall

good point...
thats actually a good idea... brb :P

but seriously, crashes do happen, even in real races, and often, (and im sure you know that). and i wasnt telling you to gtfo, i was just sayin. crashes happen, and you cant ban someone for messing up and not saying sorry in time. although people do anyway. because they're too pissed off inside or someshit, who knows.
i was basicly saying if you cant even laugh off a crash in a GAME, what will happen to your mental health when shit goes bad in the real world.

hehehehehe, i remember i only got into racing because i saw a big crash on tv, the grand prix or whatever.. yeah, that was the moment. ahh.

oh and also, people want it to be realistic and everyything, while they magically teleport off the track when they crash, into the pit. damn, this is ammusing

Quote from joen :

I'm not your mate, and I don't think I'll be seeing a lot of you.

One thing I'm really curious about though, and I mean this in all sincerity, is why you insist on wrecking and trying to spoil other people's fun? This is a serious question, I'm really interested what makes you want to do that? What's the reason behind it? Are you frustrated, did your mommy not love you enough, do you just have a very boring life so even stuff like that becomes fun to you? What is it?

i dont think hes out to spoil anyones fun. probably just finds the crashes fun. heck, i definitly find them fun when they happen. if you dont, unplug your PC now, and never return. sure, its annoying if your in 1st/2nd/3rd place, and someone deliberatly rams you. you need to laugh it off, or you wont live too long. im always gettin bashed around in races, i dont think ive ever once initiated a kick/ban. i might go "wtf" or "OMFG", and hope for a sorry, but thats rare. gamegamegamegamegamegame. look up the word game, godamn.

Quote from Theafro :

you still race the AI, i didn't think anybody was a slow as them

well i tried the other day. not as fun as real online play, but will suffice if i ever get banned from all servers, if thats possible.... lol yeah they are quite slow, i was shcoked actually at the slowness. but im sure theres gotta be a way you can turn up there speed or someshit

Quote from banshee56 :

I don't believe I will have to try to "catch you in the act", because after tonight, you will never again be on our server.

no offence, but i really couldnt care less. even if i can race with AI drivers on my own server, im content. not that i have to, like i say, there are pelnty of other servers where i can get ma race on.

ok ok. i understand your... offended by that word (cant see why since i dont think your black and being enslaved?). but people choose to be offended. you understand what i mean by that? i hope. you control how you feel, no excuses what so ever. why should i suffer and be restricted to certain words because other people get their knickers in a bunch over a word. i know i might be stirring it up abit, which isnt my intention, im just being me, saying what i normally say. im not a chav btw. they needs a killin. no there are other, better groups out there. chavs are like, the lowest form anyway i love you all. you are my brothas, so just chiiiw. im not here to offend, im here to race. if you realised that then there isnt a problem. the problem is imaginary.

i dont see anything wrong with it personally. its the intention behind the word that matters. anyway, the only reason its racist, is because people think it is. people are so silly. check it:
"pass that blunt, man."
"pass that blunt, ****."
same thing. you are actaully racists because you notice race. **** can mean anyone. **** can be white trash. ****** was the derogatory word for black people a century ago, not ****. and anyway, even that dont matter. people are, VERY... err whats the word. brainwashed? i dunno. i dont wanna push it and say stupid\ignorant. just brainwashed by todays society. break free, ma ****s!

well, ill admit, i did wreck a couple of times. but only was really after The End, after we were having disagreements (you know i love you really). anyway, id just like to say that ive learned my lesson. normally i try and race as fair as possible, but that day, well i wont start the excuses, but it was a good day and i just didnt give a ****! ive been banned from a few servers, but learned my lesson and am grateful that i can still play it innit. wewt. just wanna say that im no full time wrecker, my soul purpose of getting the game was to race, but i had my off day, and it was unfortunate some bigga **** was there to see it. what are the odds! anyway, race on. sex for all!

Quote from tristancliffe :

What version are you using (says on the loading/main screen). We are running LFS 0.5U, so if your using 0.5P or Q then you won't see many servers. The patch is available on www.liveforspeed.net

thank you very much good sir, that is most probably the problem. havnt played for about a month so i didnt even know there was a patch. thanks again

hey doods. is anyone else not getting any servers? or is it just me? if so what do you think the problem is and how could i go around fixing it?


thanks in advance

are you sure its not possible? i mean look at the demo version, on the map "car park", you can go any way you want to!!! so i dont see how its not possible...

yo guys i was just wondering! i been going on the ovals alot and been getting a bit better, but i can only go like 185mph max before i have to turn a lil bit and go down to +-175mph, and everyone else can go like 190mph - 198mph mostly. i was just wondering what i need to do to my setup to give me that extra boost, and also at the start of the race i always get wheel spins and start slow

so any advice would be apreciated thanks in advance!!

Quote from tristancliffe :

Just noticed you are on the oval and the V8. May I suggest that although it's easy and nice and fast, that you avoid the oval. It will only teach you bad habits, isn't at all a challenge, and generally no fun imo.

The fun in LFS is to master as many cars and tracks as possible, and be flexible in each too. I can almost certainly say you'll get a lot more out of LFS on proper tracks.

Just my opinion of course, so ignore it if you want. Welcome to LFS, and whatever Al Heeley says about it apparently being 'just a game', ignore him too. He's not often wrong, but in this case he's very much so.

Thanks
Hahahah! I'm being spied on!

Nah well I thought "what the heck" and tried it, and these nice german people taught me how to accept "configs" or whatever it is, and he gave me something, and told me to select it and then try racing with the V8 on the oval, and my god, I went like 20mph faster! I topped like 190mph!
The crashes are awsome too! Yeh but I think I will stay away from ovals and try and get better at another vehicle. Heheheheh, forgive me, I'm just a boy with a new toy

Oh yeh, can I ask, you know those "credits" that you get? Like when you first start the game, at the front menu theres your name and underneath it it has something about credits... What exactly are credits and what do they do? Thanks guys.

Heheheh! Thanks alot man
I'll take those tips into concideration.
Cya for now, I'm off to race abit more!

Yo guys!

I heard about the demo from this random guy on the internet, and he told me about this cool game and where to get it. So I downloaded the demo and a day later I upgraded (i.e about an hour ago). Great fun. But it is kinda hard to get used to the formula1 cars, argh I was all over the place! Takes abit of getting used to I guess. I'm only using a mouse as well so I need to invest in one of them thingies, not sure what their called, like one of those sets, with a steering wheel and pedals and stuff, I figure it would be easier with that.

I was also guranteed that there would be more courtesy, well there has been a conciderable amount more, but you still get the odd **** sometimes

Well just wanted to make you guys aware of my presence, hope that isn't illegal on these forums

Got any useful tips for this newbie?

Thanks!
Dan
