Last night's racing

Kitchen extension? Wasn't it big enough before :eyebrow:or have you moved on to roasting entire oxen for dinner?

[DuVeL]

Probably for making room for a larger kitchentable and such.

This post is about.....Last night's racing. Here is a replay of a heck of a battle up until lap 4. 3 into 1 won't go!

TrackIR meanderings moved to their own thread.

Just to prove that all is not sweetness and light in LFS country. Tonight I had a 'mare! Punted off on in two consecutive races by complete tossers! Dummy was spat out so hard it bounced off the wall, came back and hit me in the eye! After a session of deep breathing and contemplation of my navel I went back on and the evening was rescued.

I did check the server status and Ventrilo about 2030-2100ish, no-one appeared to be about so I watched some of the Arsenal game.:roflmao:

I bet we had more 'incidents' :sideways:

We had a least 'three sendings off' :eyebrow:

After a few nights of really good clean racing last night was a rude shock.  :ranting2:
Some people just seem to rush headlong into bends with no regard for other racers or the fact that their tyres are cold just to get there first only to lose it or crash into the back of others and take them out.  I started to adopt the hang back and worm through the carnage method of racing. I can accept the odd coming together which occurs when enthusiastic racing is underway but the dodgem mentality is depressing. :sad:
 
I think there needs to be some sort of management interface that can be run while racing to allow quick kicks without someone having to leave the race. Maybe another option on the players list that allows you to send and receive set-ups that is available to admins only?
 
Is this something that we can put to Scawen as a request for enhancement? :g:

[BigFatCat]

I'd be happy to rotate out once in a while to act as "race director.":norty:

Make the welcome screen blatantly advertise it's monitored:learn:, post admin messages in-game to the same effect:49_49:, then

WARN:unsure:
WARN:g:
KICK:thumbsdownsmileyani
BAN:byesad:.

There's a few people who know that this server's not a fan of unwarranted contact.
Or go rolling start until the first corner's cleared.

Yes, it was blooming anoying last night with the idiots. Once my car was pretty much wrecked, I went on a baning spree :angry: . (Is there such a thing as 'baning therepy' ?)
 
It wasnt as if enough warnings had been given out, as we even (shock horror) re-started a race....TWICE... with messages for everyone to behave etc.
 
AND THEY STILL DIDN'T GET THE IDEA, sheesh. :doh:
 
Still, once thay where gone we did get some fairly decent races.
 
I doubt Scawen can do it, but I want a button that will give these fools a frontal lobotomy.
 
I can't see a practical way of being able to admin the server while driving, so it does mean a non driving admin watching the race's, or as generally happens an admin leaving the race to do the banning, in my opinion this does seem to work fairly well.

After watching the replay of my last incident I have to put my hands up and admit to driving into the back of someone. :blush: Never mind that he thought he was on a different track/space/time continuum/planet/out of his head on skunk and pulled across in front of me and hit the brakes! The onus was on me not to hit the back of another car /my bad

[evonglan]

thank goodness i only participated in one of those ugly races and - thank goodness again - got through past one of the idiots as we barged down on him three abreast. however, since this is a (very) public space, there`s always going to be some form of lewd and indecent behaviour, sealing the space off would make it cozy but also barren, so lets just stick to kicking the odd fool and having a great time in between.

Why you little!!!! Grrrr! Hussnfussnrickkrassarry!:ranting2::ranting2:

Daylight blinkin' robbery!

[Sn00ks]

Ahh, so I missed a good race then?  :devil:
 
Been a bit off colour recently (had a cold) which meant I couldn't concentrate for any length of time so opted for CounterStrike as an alternative. But I should be back on track.
 
Pat keeps whinging that my chair squeaks too much when I'm racing, I keep leaning into corners :doh: , so she's been happy that I've gone back to CS.

Good to see JAS back racing last night. :thumb:
