Ok! well... aside from having a very good response to a vague statement; thank you Lads. Here's the rub. Main Menu/Seasonal Events/Any Seasonal which has had "Registration has Ended" but the event is still open for us to gather up our cups with out the braging rights of renoun.
(sorry, I'd give the accurate window dialogs, but for some reason - today - now - I can't log into PSN... )
Anyway, you decide I'm going to go and run the event (like the Lexus / 'ring) and it bumps up and says pph 'you aint gonna geet no braggin rights for this' and you click the enter button thinking "I know that stupid, but it really is my choice; isn't it?" And after you get to the race parameters menu and say Go/Start/Run it! the self same dialog window returns and says pph 'Seriously mate? are you really that stupid? I tol'you whatever you do, it don't matter one wit: Do you REALLY want to do this dumb thing?'
And of course by this point I'm thinking, "maybe the machine is right? I mean, who's going to know? who cares? It's not like moving from 29,xxx to 28,xyz is going to be anything anyone else is ever gonna see.."
But, then, I thinks to myself "I'd LIKE TO HAVE THE SATISFACTION, Even if it's the last day the Seasonal is still up to do - just for MY record, earn that gold cup and feel like I'm the master of my destiny.
Now, I know I'm but a nub here; only been driving since November... however, I've gone through this criticizing self rightous load of bull phuuyhy many many times, have to think others have too... (Or, do you all really never go back after Registration is over? )
Anyways, just my two coppers from under the Troll's bridge here...
Thanks again!
edit: Oh! and then, afterwards, after the run, it comes back and tells you it all over again; doesn't it?
