btw you guys testing with speedtest.net isnt bad but another good one is pingtest.net it will grade your connection based on latency,jitter, ping times. its good for checking if a connection is good enough for voip, gaming, or hi res streaming. just because your download/upload is high doesnt mean you have a quality connection

Right you are. We should be running both. So, here are links to make things simple.

D3 ACTION!

The gang

Mayday! I'm coming in hot!

Nice save

Tragedy on the track

so close

The only way I can pass Husamone.

 

[Xradkins]

I would like to keep DARK RED car with WHITE wheels. And the number 11 when a car has a plate that can be changed.

 

[Xradkins]

Just looked at the drivers color chart and it needs an update or someone to officially say what car color I can have. The chart says I am RED. It looks like RED is not being used by another driver in D2 and I am ok with RED. I have been DARK RED for the last 3 weeks. However, I want to keepthe WHITE wheels, and use number 11 (or 69 as an alt). Thanks.

PM me so it is easy to find an official reply.

 

[Xradkins]

The D3 photos look a lot like the D2 action last night. Guys, we are here for fun and if I know that I have caused another driver some frustration I want to help get their position back to when the incident I caused occurred. I dive bomb a corner as much as needed when in GT Mode for winning points and trophies cars there. In SNAIL, I want to show my craft by staying on track and driving a clean race. If I can pass CLEAN I will give it my best effort, if not, a pass can wait, IMO. I want SNAIL to be fun and a place to see how others manage to pass with skills. From that I can study and learn. If it is not possible to stay off a bumper I can understand, but please be prompt to allow the victom a chance to have his/her position back. Thanks.

The point is pick a different color. Please re-read Joby's response to you, which I've pasted below. I've emphasized the important part.

No dabneyd, picking a different body color was a request, not the point.

The point he made about why having unique body colors is important over just unique body/wheel color combos is the point that I did not understand and found confusing because I could not see a reason for it beyond what I stated in regards to waiting up when you wreck someone. The argument he made about not being able to see the wheels of the car in front of you if you are directly behind the car, although true, did not seem to matter in regards to good racecraft. If it matters to you who exactly is in front of you, the only reason I can think of is if you treat different drivers differently based on your personal friend list. Everything else can easily be figured out in a replay, even if you are color blind, so maybe jobyone could elaborate on his point further before I change the body color on my car for no good reason when I already had a unique car/wheel color combo up to this week.

Which brings up an irony I did not expect from my post.

It is ironic that you of all people would respond to my post after me stating in that post that people don't stop and wait when they wreck you. Since you took an unwarranted and uninvited tone with me, I will share the love.

The only instance it would really matter is if you ran someone off the road and were waiting for them and just happened to have another similar colored car go by and think that was the person you ran off the road going by.

The majority of the time, people don't wait up when they wreck you anyway so that wouldn't likely happen.

The fact that you did exactly that at Daytona in the Mclaren F1 to me at the start of second race (week 1 of combo I think) after rear ending me and spinning me out, is very ironic.

I am sure you were confused about the rule, oh wait, you are a steward. Well maybe you didn't know you did it, oh wait, it was so darn obvious and blatant there could be no confusion. Who knows why you rammed me and just kept going? All I know is it was obvious to the most casual observer that you hit me in the rear end and spun me out. I guess I was too charitable when I queried the steward about it without making a formal complaint, to see where I stood. He failed to reply and the time limit for filing a formal complaint expired. I am sure you have already heard this story through the steward forum. I can see you have a great affinity for the other stewards. Why else would you jump in for jobyone out of the blue and without request?

You were listed as red since someone else beat you to the dark red. You can stay red or let me know any color on the chart that is not currently listed with a drivers name. I have you down as 11.

I would like this comunication to stay in the thread.

 

[the2armedmen]

There wasn't as much crashing due to aggressive driving in d3 as there was people just crashing by their lonesome and everyone else swerving to avoid contact, 'specially on the deep forest. I was really having problems staying on the track last night for some reason, didn't put together a single good race

 

[jobyone]

I will share the love.

Garagefather,

Please read this post. Specifically the point about not discussing incidents in the public thread.

 

[Xradkins]

OK Jobyone, thanks. RED car, WHITE wheels, number 11 it is. Thanks. See ya sunday.

 

[Apmaddock]

(A post that needs not be repeated)

Wow. What a tool.

If you've got a problem with another driver PM them. Don't bring up weeks-old incidents in a discussion about a completely unrelated manner on the public thread.

 

[Handlebar]

No complaints were lodged in the Steward's forums on that week from Garagefather.

Race craft and fairness extend beyond simply the white lines on the track. At least for most of us.

 

[TRL_Importlife]

Great night in D1 as always, had fun with you guys.

D1 replays are up on sugarsync.

Note to the stewards: Take a look at the start of the fourth race, there's a massive cluster:censored: happening in turn 1.

👍

 

[Garagefather]

Garagefather,

Please read this post. Specifically the point about not discussing incidents in the public thread.

I understood the risks and will accept any penalty admin sees fit. I take responsibility for what I do. There are others in this league like me. Respect.👍

One thing to consider.....

In the immortal words of John Rambo, "they drew first blood."

 

[Garagefather]

Wow. What a tool.

Ad Hominem attack. Can't speak to the truth so he just starts calling names.

I called no one names. I spoke no lies.

I just stood up for myself when someone pushed me.

 

[Apmaddock]

How is this drawing blood?

The point is pick a different color. Please re-read Joby's response to you, which I've pasted below. I've emphasized the important part.

Call it ad hominem as you will, but the words didn't write themselves.

 

[zer05ive]

Here are the official results from our league night on March 17, 2013

If you believe that another driver exhibited poor racecraft or is guilty of an OLR Rules violation, please file a complaint by 10pm Eastern / 7pm Pacific on Monday night. You must follow the complaint process precisely or your complaint will not be addressed!! If you're undecided on whether or not you should file a complaint, please read this. Also keep in mind that a race complaint isn't supposed to be an argument. Here are some good tips on how to make sure things stay civil and respectful. 👍

The round that received the most elimination votes was:
ROUND 3 - Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 (C6) RM '09 @Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps
Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since GTP_Worst_Driver wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it. IMPORTANT NOTE: GTP_Worst_Driver has already won Prize A this month. Therefore, he cannot select Prize A again until next month. This means that everyone who raced in D1 last night gets to suggest a new car and track combo. After each of the suggestions have been submitted (by posting it on the thread), GTP_Worst_Driver will be allowed to select which suggestion he would like to use his Prize A on. Any driver who posts multiple suggestions will have all of his suggestions VOIDED. Please don't let that happen to you! Please only make one combo suggestion!

The round that received the second most votes was:
ROUND 1 - Toyota Supra 3.0GT Turbo A '88 @Cape Ring North
This means either the car or the track will be replaced for next week's line-up. Since RickyBobbyV8 gets Prize B, he gets to decide which part of the combo is replaced and what replaces it.

Price C goes to VAG_star so he gets any gift car ticket listed here.

Preliminary prize winners, please don't announce your car and/or track selection until all racing complaints are filed and the results are made official. It's important that you review our Car/Track History so that you can see a complete history of how many times we've raced each car and track (just scroll to the right of that tab). Please remember that originality is always appriated. Therefore, picking cars and tracks that we've never raced is a plus (but not required).

Car Selection Guidelines
Selected cars must be available in the 'Dealerships', in the 'Online Dealership' (OCD), or in the Racing Car Pack. As discussed here, there will no longer be a restriction on when OCD cars can be selected. They are are now available for selection every week. However, OCD cars $1M and above are not available for selection during the second week of the OCD batch's availability (click here to check).
The maximum price for a selected car is $5M. However, if you select a car from the OCD during it's second week of availability, it must cost less than $1M.
DLC cars that are FREE and currently available in the PlayStation Store are also available for selection.

Track Selection Guidelines
Any non-DLC track can be selected as long as a single lap with the car combo'd with it would not take more than five minutes to complete (don't select anything that includes the Nurburgring's Nordschleife)
Any track that's in the Course Pack or the Twin Ring Motegi Pack are also available for selection.

 

[Garagefather]

How is this drawing blood?

It was insulting. Of course I knew that jobyone was asking me to select another color, which I was questioning. That wasn't the point and that was obvious in my post so it was insulting to simplify it to that point as if I were somehow too stupid to see the obvious request jobyone made. Dabneyd's motivations were made obvious by the fact that he intervened where he was not asked with a snarky post.

 

[Apmaddock]

Sigh. This smacks of a similar "discussion" that occurred about a month or two ago.

It seems some people are always searching for something/someone to argue with.

It seems you should look in the mirror. You jump into every disagreement on this thread just like you did this time. I wold say that you:

are always searching for something/someone to argue with.

Therefore the entire combo has been dropped from next week's line-up. Since GTP_Worst_Driver wins Prize A, he gets to choose an entirely new car and track combo to replace it. IMPORTANT NOTE: GTP_Worst_Driver has already won Prize B this month. Therefore, he cannot select Prize B again until next month.

Is that supposed to read Prize A and if so are we supposed to suggest a full combo or just a track or just a car?

 

[Worst_Driver]

I'm a bit confused here...according to the points I've won prize A, but the notice is about prize B ?
Is that a typo Zero ?

 

[fiestauk]

think we need FWD cars back (its been over 2months!) i pick the Honda integra type r (DC5) '04

 

[Handlebar]

Garage father,

Thanks for your PM.

On a related note, if you want to look good, stop wallowing in the mud. All of y'all. Really.

Last I checked, the process on filing complaints correctly has never been a secret.

A) posted on post #1
B) Sent via PM from kcheeb under "You are racing in D-something." Weekly.

Let us move forward with... Less angst, more reading for comprehension rather than sanctimonious condescension, if you would.. Or...could... Either way, I am leaving this playground battle of wits and poor manners for your mothers to be embarrassed by actions that are ... Not worth repeating.

 

[JLBowler]

Is that supposed to read Prize A and if so are we supposed to suggest a full combo or just a track or just a car?

I think it is supposed to mean he won prize A once this month. The Supra at Cape Ring was his choice if I'm remembering correctly. It looks like a cut and paste gone awry and we should be suggesting complete combos, but I'll wait for clarification from Zero before suggesting anything.

Yea that's what I thought just wanted official confirmation first.

Definitely Prize A. Lol.

Good work Worst!! Looks like you get your Toyota

I'm gonna go watch some replays and post some pics of my pit maneovers on Exo in races 1 and 2....
