Nice quote
 
Is the lobby still up?
 
I also hate the bipolarness of the alert system on GTPlanet. WORK DAMMIT.

Every time I manage to join the lobby, you guys go:

"HURR DURR LAG, LETS MAKE ANOTHER LOBBY"

FFS guys.
 
I've been on vacation for the past 6 days...

Now I play the waiting (list) game again...
 
Hope you guys didn't forget this part:

GT6 is still incomplete and broken.
Thank you for not helping.

*Now the A.I. is driving my car.
 
I could probably join/host in a couple hours. I could also wait for a night lobby.
 
I have work tomorrow so I probably won't join a night lobby if there is one.

Why don't you use periods?
 
Today we learned: GT6 is broken, you guys and my router hate me, and that some gearboxes literally make cars drive themselves since GT5.
 
How many are interested in a experimental drift lobby?
 
Last time I tried to drift I was driven away by pitchforks and torches.
 
How about an experimental one make racing lobby tonight?
 
Last time I one make raced there were ghosts everywhere on the corkscrew and I think I won.
 
How about no.
 
Why don't you use periods?
Why don't you use commas?

Anyway, here's something new.

GT916's Makeshift Shuffle Racing
Original idea by @watermelonpunch. Thank you!

Again, thank you Melon for creating this wonderful idea.

Please read this to understand the procedure.

You will need ALL cars in the lists scheduled to be used
for the event session you plan on racing.

Cars are assigned by finishing order of the previous race, so you will have no way of knowing in advance which cars in the list you will be racing, just that you will need all those cars ready to drive.
See rules & race procedures below.

Car Regulations
  • Tuning Prohibited.
  • Oil change is allowed.
  • Custom wheel rims (standard, not +1 or 2 inches) are allowed.
  • Painting of body is allowed.
  • Brake balance adjustment is allowed.
  • Tires restricted to the best tires allowed (or less), for the car list to be used.

Race Regulation Settings
  • All aids off except ABS & Driving Line (driver's choice)
  • Grip: Real
  • Tire Wear: Very Fast
  • Mechanical Damage: Light
  • Penalty: Off (understanding that track boundaries & rules apply)
  • Slipstream: Real
  • Boost: Off
  • Visible Damage: Off
  • Reverse Grid Order Grid Start
  • Race End Timer: 120 seconds

Event Instructions:
(YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES)

Note: This may seem confusing at first, so don't worry about being perfect your first time. Come join & ask questions if you're not sure. Fellow racers will be happy to help you sort out the process & get the hang of things. 👍
  1. Have ready all cars in the list(s) scheduled to be raced in the session.
  2. Have the list being used nearby you while racing.
  3. Car assignments are determined by finishing position of the previous race. (Example: 1st place will drive list car #1 in the next race, 2nd place #2, and so forth.)
  4. If you did not participate in the previous race, you are assigned car #3 from the list being used.
  5. Any finishing position at a larger number than cars on the list, will use the last car on the list. (Example: if the list only goes to 10 cars, 10th place will use #10, and so will 11th or 12th, and so forth.)
  6. Use the list to get in the proper car for the next race, and enter the pit quickly (before chatting, etc) so others can check your car.
  7. Check the car assignment of the driver who finished ahead of you in the previous race, and inform that driver if they are not in the proper car. (In the case of 1st place, that driver checks last place.)
  8. If you're unsure of your car assignment, or the car list being used, please ask.
  9. Driver is disqualified if they race in the incorrect car.
  10. Cars not on the list being used are prohibited. No exceptions.
