i agree with watermelonpunch if its paved and doesnt slow you down i drive on it. hahaha
LOL I'm glad someone else admits to sneakin' it in sometimes.
THough, again, if I was in an online game with other people, I assume that's a no-no, unless otherwise clear it isn't.
But if there wasn't a rule, and everyone was doing it... I'd be a fool not to, right?
Unless I felt really guilty about it! Then it wouldn't be worth it.
Just depends on the situation.
And that's the thing, in a time trial, if everyone can do it, then it's not cheating is it? Not technically.
OTOH, I understand why it ticks people off.
This is a similar but different problem that I see with the online in-game penalty system. Like how sometimes the person doing something "bad" (something considered wrong or inappropriate, by racing standards, or even by any standards), doesn't get the in-game penalty, and someone who did nothing wrong gets one. I got a "shortcut" penalty once because someone knocked me off the road by using my car as a way to brake & turn going around a corner, and that person didn't get a penalty. How is that fair?
But I guess that's how it is if a computer is the referee, it'll never really be quite right & fair. It's never going to be as "smart" as a human watching to see what's going on.
what does bug me is one awesome driver having multiple accounts. if hes better than me and plays on 2 or more accounts then that makes my position lower and right now i got a sneaky suspicion that someone in the top ten is doing that.
I would consider that out & out cheating. Sort of sounds akin to bidding on your own item in an auction to raise the price.
If your suspicion is true, I hope the person is exposed.
I personally can't imagine what would drive someone to do something as elaborate as that. But some people seem to take more satisfaction in having other people think they've achieved something even if they haven't, than actually achieving anything. And sometimes will actually take more trouble in creating the appearance, than the effort it would take to actually achieve it for real. It's a mystery of the varied nature of humankind I guess. LOL (now where's my smoking jacket?)
cheaters suck but ultimately your really racing yourself.

and im so glad i never crashed the wall to try and win. #9 in the world regardless if others above me cheated is still super ******in' awesome.
So true!
I guess there is when you are an alien, but still. I need every lap I can get to put in a good time.
I haven't been doing these time trials, just giving my opinion on what is one of the worst penalty systems I have seen in a racing game.
