It wasn't my call. I'm just telling you what likely happened. If you think this is me having an attitude, you haven't been around very long or you've been living under a rock. Next time, I'll just let you twist in the wind and wonder what's going on instead of trying to offer some insight.

Now that is POWER right there! That is a keeper post right there for sure! C'mon man! I hope you had a front end loader looking through all those empty folders to find 1 Zip file of uploaded replays cause that's a lot of digging!! To the steward that had to search the three other tabs I truly apologize, I'm human and it will not be the last time that happens I'm sure.. I was in a hurry and I wanted to get my job done! I had a family member being rushed to the hospital so I wanted to complete my duty and I might have put it in another folder and so I apologize! One last thing @JLBowler.. I have come to the realization that you truly believe that myself or anyone was going to lose one second of sleep or "twist in the wind wondering" until we heard it from you! No, I have not been here very long, I do not live under a rock, but I do know you have had an attitude from jump street and I know it works on people and that must make you feel all Nibley bibley! Congrats! So thanks for your help tonight! I'm glad we got everything resolved before people started twisting in the wind or something like that?

it sounds interesting i'm looking for a new league (first official league) may i try out?

@Die_Birdy_Die

Here's your official S.N.A.I.L. Welcome Post!​

Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the S.N.A.I.L. OLR (which is a modified version of the GTP OLR). We also expect all of our drivers to know and follow The Good Racecraft Guide.
Please become versed in both if you aren't already. Once that is complete, please follow the steps below to complete your entry into the league:

1. You take the S.N.A.I.L. OLR and Racecraft Test

2. You run the Time Trial and submit your information by 23:59 EST on Saturday night if you want to race this Sunday.

3. @JLBowler PM's you with your assigned Division that we feel will give you the closest competition. You will be added to the drivers list.

4. Send a PSN friend request to the Race Director or Primary Host from your assigned SNAIL Division. Sunday night you will need to sort the online lobbies by friends and join the lobby named 'snailracing.org Division_(x) based off your Division placement from JLBowler. That lobby will be where you race Sunday.

5. Place the following links (URLs) in the favorites (or bookmarks) in your web browser for quick reference. Please make every effort to read and understand the following links. Over the years a great deal of time and effort has gone into creating this league and we would like nothing more than to have you but we ask that you take the time and effort to do your homework. 99.9% of any question you may have about SNAIL can be found in the posts below. Now if you've actually read this, post a in this thread.

• Original Post
• Drivers List
• SNAIL FAQ

6. You drive fast and clean on Sunday 👍

Again, the original post has everything you need to know about what to expect on Sunday night and what you will need to have completed in order to be competitive. If you have any questions, please feel free to post your question on the thread.
If you have a preference for car/wheel colour and racing number, please follow the instruction contained here.

During the week we run a number of different events, we encourage all SNAILs to join as many as possible.
Welcome to S.N.A.I.L.

Ok now that the replays are and we're there are the results still the same? What can we do to keep this from happening again? I enjoy the racing. And would love to continue to.
And has anyone volunteered to help stewards.

I'm currently in a discussion with Dragon about helping out.
Might be quicker and easier if a SNAIL vet would step up though.

All this thread drama. Just isn't the same without @Apmaddock. Hope farming's been going good for him.

I've been busy with some other things today so haven't had a chance to look into it. At 8:30PM, last night, 13OCT2014, I went through every folder where a division replay should and might have been. Every replay last night showed it was uploaded prior to the deadline, except there were no replays, anywhere in D8's folders for races on 12OCT2014.

Here is a screenshot of D1's Replay folder, taken a few minutes ago.

It clearly shows the replays were last modified yesterday, October 13, and that was after I had moved them from the Year and Month folder he had uploaded them to.

Here is a picture of D8's replays, in the folder they were uploaded to, this morning, a little shy of 12.5 hours past the deadline.

D8's replays were not there at 30 minutes past the deadline, yesterday.

For all you folks getting in a high hover, thinking some injustice has been done and claiming others are sporting an attitude, when they were trying to help, don't make a dragon pull out his industrial size bottle of ketchup. You are all crunchy. It remains to be seen if all of you are good, when smothered in ketchup.

The preliminary results stand as is. D8's replays were 12 and half hours late. Wherever they were put at that time. They're now in the folder we prefer them to be in. Thank you @DCschwinn for getting them up. Better late than not at all.

As a professional a-hole I'll say that you have to be careful how far in to TEXT you read. Emails and forum posts rarely contain any list of intended tone or emphasis, leaving the reader to apply their own sense of such things.

That being said, I too have run into perceived condescension and rudeness (and have provided my own), but sometimes you have to check your feelings at the sign-in door, and if someone slights you, let them bathe in their own bad blood... There's up to 100 ppl on here that get to see people go "big Richard" off and on; I guess I just hope that over time we ALL learn to take a breath and remember that we're here for the same reason and not sweat the small stuff...

Ok so I read every post and took my life into consideration I have decided. That I will be doing GT Racecamp I will not only attempt to teach during the camp but also on free time in lobbies where I'll also be practicing. I figure this time I'll make my camp both as scheduled as I can but also free spirited so I can just go and teach whenever I can. All who agree with this please respond and like. And give me your honest opinions on what you think of the idea and for those that have go.e through the camp in the past any idea on how to improve it? Any criticism is appreciated whether it brutally honest or complimenting. I thank you all very much for the encouragement.

As far as I know that was the second tome he uploaded them.

 

[Schmiggz]

1.Every time there's an argument and Bowler is involved someone quits snail! Its one of those undeniable facts.

2. Funny how I was the one who brought in the idea of Snail having a sort of a prize choice management which apparently was approved, people was chosen to fill the position and I didn't get one single word about it!!!
Not all the sheep have the same color here.

 

[SHOCKY_WELL]

I give up D8 is just pions who cares I stepping down from my responsibilities for snail. I feel we are not treated fare ly in D8 because we are slower that every one else and are still learning. @DCschwinn says he uploaded them at 12 am Monday morning I belive him. Thanks for the fun racing. But the drama really. not quitting snail just stepping down from responsiblities

 

[Schmiggz]

Correction... Not 1 but 2.

No don't go shocky I just decided to restart my Racecamp give me a chance to up your pace so that way no-one can say anything to you. Don't leave I just got back were friends

Hold on. If everyone steps off D8, who am I going to race with?

I attended your camp in Tokyo and you did an excellent job with the old Toyota.

Camps that I would like to see:
1. Different characteristics in handling between FR, FF, MR, RR, 4WD.

a. How to make a car that tend to understeer turn in
b. How to controll a crazy oversteering animal (Lotus Elise, Yellow Bird, etc)​

2. Look at certain sections of different tracks (chicanes, S-Curves, Long corners, blind corners, etc) and how to navigate different types of cars through them. (What do you do different to "find time...")
3. Maybe limit the room to 8 or 9 people because it might take a bit of time to handle 15 students in a an hour or two.

Come to race camp my main focus for the Racecamp is.anyone who is mainly Division 4 or lower I promise I can up your pace I just need some time to do it. Give me a chance

If you believe that, then I would not expect to see anymore words flying around.

Now let us all calm down and not argue in public anymore.

Shocky. It would be a big loss to the guys in D8, keep your duties and ride past this little hiccup. I'm not out here crying foul or anything (not that you are). This is their league, their rules and they have the right to manage it as they seem fit, you and I give them that when we join... and for the most part they do a good job. I'm choosing to walk away because it's the part that they could be doing great that would get them to the level of some of the Iracing leagues and such. But on the whole, not bad. You're a natural leader, stay put and have fun.

This is a huge loss to SNAIL. Vsfit went out of his way to take on duties because he believed in what we were doing, and thought it would be fun. He invested his own time and energy to learn to do things the SNAIL way; and now that investment is a total loss to both him and SNAIL. I know I'm new to this community, and people will come and go. But man, I wish things had gone down differently. Fit, I hope you reconsider. You're an asset to our racing experience.

MCA_UNITED08, I'll still be here to race with you.

I apologize for trying to help and disseminate information. I guess I just don't know how to do that.
