I think I was given extra chances due to it not being a connection issue. Unfortunately the issue I had required me to restart my PS3 and that caused it to do one of those system restore things. Took an extra few minutes. If someone messaged me on here saying that you were gonna start anyway I would've been okay with that. I wouldn't feel rushed and you could enjoy the race.

If you get the restore message hit O it will skip it.
 
Sorry it took so long, it did slip my mind yesterday due to having gotten home a bit later than I wanted/expected.

A racer has I believe it's 3 shots to attempt to enter a race. DP believed he had the issue resolved as did I. At the first DC I stated if penguin comes back online we will restart then started the race. After the second DC I cued up my mic when he came in the room and said "it's your call major". Leaving the decision up to him.

As for the rules I could careless really. I have no problem if people are out doing laps at 9pm, I have no problem restarting a race when someone shows up upto 5 minutes late, I have no problem restarting a race during Qualifying, I am here to race for the entire night whether it finishes at 11:00 pm or 5:00am.

That right there is why you don't like me (you've come right our and said it so I'm not guessing that you don't like me). It just so happens to be my job to try and get everyone to follow the policies that SNAIL has set forth. For you, someone who is hosting a room, to come out and say that you don't care about the rules or if you follow them isn't the best example to set.

I suggest you take another read of the host and driver responsibilities and start following them. If you choose not to, as you have stated that you will do, then the consequences are listed in that same post.

No I don't like you, Why because of you. You are demanding, pushy, a bully, and will stomp your feet if you don't get your way. I've been with snail for just over a year. And I've seen this behavior from you on more then 1 occasion.

You claim it to be because people only get to see you on your worst days, but that isn't true at all. You are just that, demanding and a bully. On a race night you ask for speed tests then with in 3 hours make another post referring to that post.

If you weren't demanding or a bully you would have waited until the next day for the last or both of those posts. But that's not the way you work, you want it and you want it now! The hell with what anyone else has to do, or what their schedule is it's your way or the highway.

As for me allowing people to run laps I said I would, not that they are allowed. I have Major in the room I don't have to say anything.
 
It would appear that you're the only one taking those two posts the way you are taking them.

Did I set some kind of a deadline to have it done? No. Did I even say that it was mandatory? No. Am I pushing the issue because I want to see the problems fixed so that we can all have a smooth night of racing? Yes.

You seem to be getting very defensive and bent out of shape over what most others here seem to think are pretty reasonable requests to try and improve the quality of race night for the entire division. I guess that's your issue to deal with. I prefer to focus my energy on working toward a possible solution.

Your deadline was stated with the second post. Whether or not you wrote it is irrelevant the fact that you posted the second time shows your intent. I see right through you, whether or not others want to is for them to decide.

You didn't even try to run the night you came in once, made your speech and left.
 
You know @Die_Birdy_Die, your something else. You are such a hypocrite. You claim that someone is being a bully and stomping their feet while you are doing the exact same thing. Please!

Your also being very disrespectful to someone who puts in more time in this league than anyone else and has earned the right to stomp their feet, if they so choose, sometimes. But the posts you are referring to are not the case. You have blown it up to suit your meaning and your trying to push others into believing your drivel and it's not working.

I think it's time that you take your thumb out of your month, get up from the fetal position, and try to help solve the issue that this division is having. Use that energy that you have to help your fellow division mates instead of posting those ridiculous comments.

First of all. You inferred a deadline which doesn't exist. If you want to continue to try and infer what I mean, I suggest you either get better at it or keep your thoughts about it to yourself.

Second, I entered the first room as everyone was changing rooms. I left that room when I was told to do so and entered the second room. When I got to the second room, there were multiple drivers that I could not see so I left and re-entered and could see everyone in the room. I was already on track and seeing everyone else when flip entered that room. I couldn't see him so I said that I was out for the night and that we need to get the situation fixed. I wasn't happy about having to miss a night of racing but I wasn't about to sit through a frustrating night of issues.

Note: I have never had any issues seeing flip or anyone else on track except when the person I couldn't see also couldn't be seen by other people in the room. I will also say that I have seen more connection issues in the last three (two especially) Sunday nights than I have seen in a long time.
 
Here are my speed tests from just now. I have always seen my speeds about the same as these, right back to when I first started with SNAIL. My speeds look horrendous compared to most of you but in the close to two years I've been racing I rarely have had any issues. I believe in all that time, only once has one other driver not seen me. I even host the occasional practice room with no problems.
These were from my laptop hardwired.

I see people posting big numbers here so for those that are afraid to post because their numbers aren't so good....

Check out my Ookla Speedtest result. What's your speed? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1616087983

It's all hard wired but looks pretty crappy,eh?
Numbers aren't necessarily the issue. I host events all the time including last night's races for D3 without issues. So post your numbers no matter what , that way your division can solve this issue.

Haha, lol! I would have posted sooner but have been too busy. These are close to the same numbers I've showed JL in the past.

Glancing through the speed tests so far my preference so far for this Sunday is:

EDIT : @MarkR420 also as backup host

Can I get an "aye aye"?

I'm out tonight. Hope the fixed host option fixes the problems and also hope everyone gets on terms with the F40.
Good luck, all.
 
I'll be there tonight. I hope we get a good turnout and no lag issues.

Might be late. Company hasn't left yet
