Wish I was available to race with you guys at the times you do these races. Sounds like alot of fun. It's getting harder and harder to find good Nascar racers online.
 
Thanks Gtuuk for allowing me to race, but I have chosen not to race fnd or scana. Racing should be fun and there is no fun when there are rules and they are not adhered to. No need to go into it. Good Luck, Willie out

I understand your frustration Willie, I'm pulling out aswell out of both series. Obviously my connection issues dont help, but I'm not satisfied with some of the rules. Good luck on running the series Chad and Gtuuk.

Well done ROUSCH, I feel justice was done from last week. 👍

Thank's fuzzy' I hope you don't pull out or willie, this chatt thing might be the answer that chad and tuuk talked about last night
 
You guys are making this tough for me to even want to finish this series If you think you can do a better job having to deal with all the unknowns bye all means go ahead and start a league I will kill the series today and just race in other peoples league and not have to worry about anything cept racing. Ive spent the last few hours trying to figure out hosting a vent server but its not being friendly with me. Fuzz you will be missed but im not gonna beg you or willie to race thats up to you guys good luck in open lobbies.
 
Wow Fuzzy...I understand your frustration, but we do 1 restart for disconnect.last night in our shootout i was the benifactor... and I believe we waited for you to get straightend out in a past race also...so you have to understand that these guy's are doing a great job to put this on, and investing alot of time and effort into making this fun. we have to do what we can as members to make this fun for everybody also....I have had some great races with all of you, let's continue and see this through. I would recomend everybody try to go to a direct wired connection for your ps...it makes a huge diff. Also clean out your Cache on your PS hard drive and before you get on for the big race reset your modem.... I hope to see you all tonight for 500 miles:)
 
To be fair, as someone who wants to compete in this, and who can adhere to rules, people dropping out leaves more opportunity for myself to secure spots and points.

Always sorry to see people go but competition is competition and there will always be someone ready to take your place.

Further, Gtuuk, do I get a point for the qualifying and as effectively I was on the parade lap trying to get my starting position when I was disconnected?

Yeah true, that is the rule to do one restart on a disconnect, havent got a problem with that. However, where was the benefit of the doubt for ROUSCH last week, when he couldnt hear no one and got penalised ?


Fuzzy, I am sorry I forgot to ask what rules are not to your likeing?

No pace car.
Mechanical damage on heavy would make it more realistic.
Not giving out a caution for a single car spin.
Coming out of the pits.
 
I think Rousch's incident was more of a race issue...he slowed and realized what was going on, last night was a rule infraction...we all know we start double file....Nitrous confirmed he could hear me....this should not be an issue at this point in the season. I know some of there confusion might have been that we do a pace lap before the race, but we always have taken the competition yellow @ lap 10 and go green on 11 double file...Coming out of the pits and single car spin rules all mimic actual NASCAR rules. We tried Heavey damage and it was a disaster due to lag and people glitching all over the track.The pace car deal is unfortunate but more so that it is not incorperated into the game....that would take care of alot of our issues.....March 29- NASCAR 2011....Finish out GT5 and then we start fresh:) Cheers mate.

I think you've went to great effort to put this league together, and I have a lot of respect for that. I have a lot of fun racing in your rooms. But with less than half the field on my friends list, there doesn't seem to be enough respect to go around, which has led to my frustration. I did not join to see how many enemies I could make. We all make mistakes, And I admit to mine. But without respect to the rules and other drivers there will be people who will take you out for a couple of points or positions. Where's the fun in that?
 
The main race was great guys good driving other than my mic issues which i broke tonight i had fun. Guys I need a show of hand for people that are able to use a chat program that runs through your pc called Ventrilo It seems no matter how good our host connections are the chat goes to hell after more than 10 guys enter. I would like to implement this into the series. The biggest problem i see with it is the guys on bluetooth not being able to use it, as you need to have a wired mic either usb or the tiny mic plug. I have used this program for racing for years and it works great for large group chat. Another Plus I think this will have is it might give us better race quality cause i will be able to shut voice chat completely off in the game and that might be enough to stop the disconnects as we had 4 tonight.

You guys... Ive spent the last few hours trying to figure out hosting a vent server but its not being friendly with me. Fuzz you will be m....

Gtuuk, I can host the vent server. I know how and have a good connect :)
 
However, where was the benefit of the doubt for ROUSCH last week, when he couldnt hear no one and got penalized ?

It would have been tough to reverse my call last week. He went past other drivers on a caution when he was not suppose to. So he goes to the back. Its the best we can do to make it fair.

No pace car.
Mechanical damage on heavy would make it more realistic.
Not giving out a caution for a single car spin.
Coming out of the pits.

Mechanical Damage, man we attempted to have that. I would love to have it turned about too. But the facts are, the connection gets very bad when we have it on. Then the racing turns to crap because no one wants to get their feet wet, since they are afraid to get rear ended by warp..ect That is not the kind of racing we want for the next 7 weeks. It will be less enjoyable.

No giving a caution for a single car spin is NOT a FND rule man. It is a SCANA rule. Gtuuk gives cautions for single car spins.

Coming out of the pits - We should be saying below the yellow line until the straight away. If we see it that driver is suppose to be penalized. If you saw it, please PM myself or Gtuuk and we will review the race and watch for that driver.

Yes Willie we have spend a lot of effort creating this. It is really a insult to myself and Gtuuk that you pull out of the league before we can try to correct the issue we have been having. Pointing out the flaws is the first step. But abandoning us before we can try to fix them; just sucks for us.

And whats more sad for me is, my league has not even started.

At least try one more week with the changes we will make for next week. After that, we won't be upset if you leave. We will completely understand. Just know we are trying our best to make this enjoyable for all. It is VERY hard to put all this together and make it work right.

You are right, it makes it even harder when people do not follow the rules.



Fuzzy and Willie think about sicking around for 1 more week with the Ventrillo server..
 
I think people take it too seriously. That might not be the best way to put it, actually, maybe people are expecting too much.

This is a videogame racing series, with the restrictions and problems that come along with that. You can understand that and try to have fun with it, or you can hope for some super fair, efficient, realistic, event and rage at all the the ways SCANA and FND fall short.

I admit, there was stuff that went on in the first couple of races that pissed me off, but I realized that that's just a fact of life with a full room, all with different connections, racing so close at such high speeds.

But, I realized that there wasn't much to be done about it. I do my best, and if I see something fishy I report it, and I try to enjoy the series for what it is, not hate it for what it isn't.

Just my opinion.

*And I just want to thank Gtuuk and Chad for their time and effort in putting this together. It's a lot of work with not a lot of reward.*

Couldnt of said it better:)
 
last night was a rule infraction...we all know we start double file....Nitrous confirmed he could hear me....this should not be an issue at this point in the season.

The way you phrased this has me confused, because the leader has no impact on people lining up single or double file.

Would you please clarify when I said I could hear you and what it was that you said to me?
 
Cane signups arent closed. If you want to race i will add you to the list

Yeah GTuuk I would love to get involved when you guys start it up again. I know I have raced with you a few times before, as well as a few of the other guys in the league.
 
Please guys keep any points penalties in pms not in the forum i have spoken to some of you and proper action will be taken
