sounds to me that instead of doing as asked by 05. You are continuing to try and start ****!

Yes bowler is an ass but to leave because of him would be counter productive to the enjoyment with in the league.

It's about the racing and trying to do the best you can with in the rules. There are people who have come to the league driven like clowns then blamed the rules for their bad driving. Then their are people who have come to the league and learned from the experience (ME!).

So you don't like someones style fine. Don't deal with them! but to blame the league for your unwillingness to par take in our enjoyment that's on you. Now go away!

Allright guys. That's enough.

I can be an a**. I'm aware of that. I'm the guy that you get to deal with when you run afoul of the rules so most of the time, people are not dealing with me during the best of situations. I get to enforce rules that the other party doesn't agree with or can't seem to follow. It's not the best situation in the world and it's not one that can be handled by giving in to individuals.

Drivers came and went before I had any kind of responsibility in SNAIL and they will come and go after I'm gone. We have had drivers join, get placed in a division, never race a single night and never be heard from again. Every driver that has ever left has their own reason for doing so.

Regarding Bowler.. Can he be an ass? Yes, absolutely he can be an ass and I've said as much to him on multiple occasions. We don't always see eye-to-eye, but he will be the first to admit that he hasn't always handled situations in the most diplomatic way and that he's made mistakes before. However, I believe that he's learned from those experiences and has become better from them.

One thing that hasn't changed about him is that he has never been engaged in maniacal man-hunts to treat anyone unfairly. In fact, some would say that his desire to follow the rules to a T without any flexibility is what makes him an ass most of the time. Regardless, he is never unfair about his approach. It's actually the opposite - sometimes to a fault, even.
 
All the years i been a member of Snail, Which will be 3 years come next March 13th, 2016, i have seen drivers come and go over the past couple of years. Well respected on the track and even myself have learned from my own mistakes i have made while driving. Even at times when i thought that i was one of the many cleanest drivers on the track, i have improved over time. Have learned the rules and still learn from my mistakes as i host and correct those mistakes over time. For some who think bowler is an A**, it has helped this league continue and grow over time. If you think of racing outside of video gaming, does anyone think that the drivers would be respected on the track if they kept bogarding or dive bombing to get into a position and causing wreck upon wreck on the track while the directors and stewards of Formula 1 or Nascar just ignored them or be hard on drivers for being too aggressive and then the drivers learn from that aggression and improve over time.

I still race online in the online lobbies and tend to find out most of the other drivers are still too aggressive and crash you right into a wall , into the sand. In order for any racing league to prosper and be respected, inspirational in a way is to have rules to follow and if some people need to be hard on drivers in order to keep it as clean as possible, then so be it. I rather this league have people that monitor and enforce the rules so that this league keeps going.

This is my 2 pennies and long live Snail. :cheers: :gtpflag: 👍

Raise hell on the track but be respectful in doing it at the same time.
 
Just adding my 3 cents (sorry the Canadian dollar isn't doing so well these days)

Bowler put it quite accurately in one of his previous post. We deal with him in mostly unpleasant situations where someone messed up and the rules need to be enforced. Rules that ensure this league keeps running like the well oiled machine it is.

Agreed, some situations weren't handled in the most diplomatic way. After all the definition of good diplomacy is "to send someone to hell in such a way that he / she actually looks forward to it"

I'm pretty sure you may find a different bowler with a beer or scotch and a cigar in hand
 
In all sports/competitions, in which all participants knowingly accept a Standard of Conduct and Rules Enforcement, there are Umpires/Field Judges/Officials/Referees who judge actions and make decisions.

In baseball Umpires are always accused of needing glasses. At other times they are accused of "thinking" they saw something occur behind them. Replays have helped adjudicate the issue ..... by unseen individuals who are not experiencing personal threats ....... but nonetheless some in the stands/viewing audience think "the game is rigged".

Most of the time said officials are immoveable/unchangeable and will exercise another option if the disagreement goes beyond a certain point ........ that of removing said manager/player, etc. from the game and playing field.

Question:
Are we, in our SNAIL association and competition, any less subject to the Rules of Our Competition? We knowingly enter this league with an understanding that there are rules and that they will be enforced.

Those that scream the loudest at the Blind Umpire, or the Rigged Game ...... should sign up to be a Steward in this league for no less than 12 months. Put on the armor of the Umpire and see what actually goes on "behind the scenes". Maybe then, and only then, will you understand and respect what the Officials endure - and how difficult the decisions are at times.

In my humble opinion - The folks that lead and operate this league are doing an excellent job.
And I make a motion that we TRIPLE their salary. Do I have an AMEN? ....... uh, a Second?

(Psssst, for those of you that suddenly think they are getting paid ......... Wake up and smell the roses, Dude!)

@Scorpion0001

Here's your official SNAIL Welcome Post!
​
Thanks for your interest!
Here's what you need to know (and do) in order to join SNAIL Racing League:

We run a clean league by enforcing a strict penalty system based on the SNAIL 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 start a conversation and add @CoachMK21, @JLBowler, @nmcp1 & @zer05ive as participants. The conversation title should be "Request To Join".

2. SNAIL Administrators will respond with specific instructions on what you need to accomplish to join the SNAIL [Spec] Racing club. Sunday races are organized exclusively through the GT6 Community features within the game.

3. 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.
4. 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 SNAIL :cheers:

Perfect, Tex, perfect. Everyone screams at the officials but very few have held the whistle/hammer and made split second decisions that affect the outcome of a competition.
After I had that experience as a basketball ref, I never again complained about a call that went against me.

And considering their meagre salary, I'd say the job being done is stellar. And one day you're the windshield, one day your the bug. But it all evens out if you keep to the code.

WE (THE DRIVERS IN THIS LEAGUE)ARE THE UMPIRES,LEST WE FORGET OUR PLACE!(Caps are for emphasis,not yelling!:sly:)That also is part of the problem,being lax in our duties.I for one find it difficult to file IR'S in the time allotted,(real life gets in the way)but that is no excuse for taking care of business,and doing our duty. @zer05ive Valiant effort by you Sir to rectify a problem that seems to me to be nothing more than a Vapor,a Wisp, a Specter,Keep up the good work,we enjoy this thing you have created,and heres hoping it won't become a Frankenstein Monster!LOL
 
So we went to Enterprise because they sell cars and they will have a good record. There wasn't a big selection. We got a 2014 Toyota Corolla in silver. Fairly new so lots of tech toys but otherwise just a boring car. We bought a car, we didn't shop for one. Not so exciting

Lol you bought a rental! The only cars out there that get driven hard on a constant basis. Even my mom drives rental cars like she qualifying for a F1 race.
 
I thought that when my parents said that but they are serviced better than a normal person might service their car. Better records.

Price was about 15K but my dad was planning on going that high. I didn't know that before
