See? There you go again. That alone detracts from any legitimate argument you make.
You sure whine about it for someone who started the negative trend:
I don't care about the post before mine. Quit being lazy and show some self control.
Besides, the point I made was already solid... it might make WANT to admit it less but it in on way detracts from the validity of the points I have made
And if you are wondering, yes it is very transparent that you are trying to turn the conversation on my comment style rather than the point that you are wrong about
I won't comment on the specifics of your quarrel with Bob, thats between you two, I simply was trying to stop the bantering back and forth and it seemed to me that you were the aggressor in this case. If I was incorrect in my assessment I apologize.
As to the $250 challenge, while interesting I think it would be rather silly for anyone to actually consider undertaking it and actually and think they will get the reward. Props to you if you really would have followed through with payment but this is the internet and we all know in most cases it would never happen.
As to your point about how other Gran Turismo's got the reward system right, please elaborate on this. Because other than the useless A-Spec points (nothing more than bragging rights) in 4 I can't remember what you are referring to.
That's why I said to an escrow - ie a third party who holds the funds and distribute appropriately when the deal is closed. It proves both parties can and will step up and prevents either from renigging.
And as for who was the agressor - I would argue telling someone else to just stop being lazy makes you the agressor
As for previous GTs I seem to recall (and I may be wrong on this) that the way it worked was if you tuned past the limits, you still got the win but you got almost not Cr.
I am fine with that, I have no problem with you playing your game how you want and if that means bringing a bazooka to a knife fight, that's all good... but leave the restrictions there for people like me who love the challenge of a restriction/hard race but can't be go through the gruling and frustrating trial and error method to find the proper settings.
This all goes back to why I offered a $250 wager - $250 is a good chunk of change, and if the process was at all reasonable to accomplish anyone would take the $250 do it and run... the point I was making with that offer is that the suggestion "just limit yourself" as a response to lost restrictions is completely unresaonable if not entirely impossible.
The simplest reasoning is to imagine being tuned just a few HP short of possibly winning... how would you ever know? You might always be just a little more practice from winning... or you might be trying an impossible challlenge... if you tune up a few HP you might be overopwering your car - if you don't, you might end up trying forever to do the impossible. That's why the suggestion to limit yourself is not the same as being given restrictions - you KNOW the restrictions are doable - you might just be bashing your head against the wall limiting yourself and ultimately you can never KNOW your current setup is impossible. The focus event appeared totally impossible at first, but ultiately was doable. That in and of itself is proof how "just limit yourself" isn't a valid replacement at all.
