ALMS Season V

[stupidstormy36]

I answered it.

Okay, mr know it all. 👍

 

[cnd01]

Haven't you heard? Seth likes to run a pole/fastest lap time, THEN start the race.


I won't accuse him of doing it, intentionally, but, it happened, last season, and it made me laugh.


I mean, I like his style, but, it wouldn't normally work like that.


I vote Kevin for host, in that case, if his connection's stable, though my vote might not mean anything.


Finally, cnd, that's my TV size/definition too.

Hey it might not be fancy, but my TV gets the job done 👍

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Okay, mr know it all. 👍

I know from experience, that's all. I wouldn't want you answering a question I answered.

I'm trying to make up for, admittedly, being a bit of a jerk, last season, after Madrid, by helping out.


As for me being a know-it-all, I just happen to have a good memory, and a Canadian/German education.

That's how I learn too. From experience, not books. But I only raced officially with one race with you last season, so I don't know the details.

Do we have a final say in the track for tomorrow's race? I'd rather avoid any tracks that aren't on the season list personally, but it's a majority thing. I particularly don't like the Special Stages track, especially the Clubman one (the shorter one). Host? I know Seth usually does it, but from what I've read, it seems there is some debate there, or I'm just misreading the situation, which happens from time to time.

But I'm excited for the race this Saturday! Hope FLM doesn't get shafted again.

 

[bermudakid]

Don't listen to them, they just suck there so that's why they don't want to race it . SSR5 is wide?

Ill remember that when I beat you.

I also don't care who hosts as long as everyone can stay connected, and that the host won't delay the race/qualifying for an hour+ more after the event has been scheduled to start. I'm fine with late starts, but if I can't finish the race if we start about an hour after scheduled time.

+1

Although tomorrow I have to work until 10 so I may miss this race.

When I host I also have to kick trolls. Kinda why I want to run it in my lounge!

If you set the max slots to the # of people that are suppose to race you dont have that problem.

 

[Kevin01SH]

I dont think ill be a good host because i get off school at 8:00pm and by the time i get home, let the dog out for a bit and get situated its about 8:30 or later. But i dont mind monitoring things while you guys run qualifying.

 

[Techy]

Haven't you did something like that a few seasons ago, where you would sit in the Live Timing screen to track Qualifying runs? I may be wrong though.

This is what I do, even. It always tends to work. The only thing, is that people tend to run their fastest lap times, AFTER you announce the grid, which is irritating, because they later say "I'm not there; I'm there! Look! See?!" and leave you to say "Quali's over."

Well if you announce the grid that's when you usually start. You don't go announce the grid, wait 10 minutes, and expect people to not run practice/fast laps in between. People obviously want to practice, so if you're going to announce the grid make sure you have the intention of starting right after.

I announce the grid before starting the 40 second countdown timer, because it takes longer than 40 seconds to announce a grid of 16 drivers. In the ITCC, it took like 3 minutes, because we had like 14 drivers. Oh, those were good times. Race 3 was a bit of a nightmare. 14 cars in Madrid, separated by a second. What could POSSIBLY go wrong?

Why're you here? You don't race in this series, you add nothing to the discussion, and you caused nothing but an uproar last season. I never start the race late purposely. Definitely not to get pole, especially seeing as how there was only 2 of us racing consistently in LMP last season. So what's the difference in getting pole when I'm racing one person that I can probably pass on the first straight? You're just a child who has to chime in because you got beat by me in Rolex. Ever since then you can't get over the fact I came in 1 race late, switched cars and still beat you at every race aside from the first one when I wasn't even running upgrades on my car. Grow up, kid. And no, your vote counts for nothing. You don't have a say because you don't partake.

As far as time goes, the race always started at 9pm Gshkilla, get it right. You're new here too, so maybe you should get accustomed to how things were run before you chime in.

 

[freshseth83]

Ill remember that when I beat you.

Maybe you'll run your car to the regs this time. Oh, you won't be there. Guess you'll have to prove yourself next time.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

I'm here because I'm still friends with some of the people here. I'm here, also, because I'm trying to make up for last season, and prove that I'm not actually a 🤬, but, I was a guy who was having a few troubles with the heavy car.


And, I do help out. I'm answering questions (specifically about HD TVs ) and keeping conversation with the cool guys, like, ghskilla and stormy. If you're too mean and unwelcoming to let me do that, then, that's fine, but, maybe I'm not the real problem.

 

[freshseth83]

Don't come in here blabbing b.s. you don't have a clue about. Same goes for you Ghskilla. Things were fine before you and your company showed up with this stupid attitude like I was holding off the start of races to qualify first. With public rooms you don't control who shows up, so you have to EXIT the track, which makes you lose your time, then kick the trolls. Kinda hard to get a lap in when so many people join that aren't supposed to. That's why I suggested a lounge where only friends can join. Everyone here has me as a friend on PSN, if not they're a friend of a friend, so they can all join.

Well I'm sorry for trying to get accustomed. Guess if I chime in once or twice and get stick for it either way from you I guess I won't bother raising my opinion, then? 👎

And I've read the OP, it said races start at 9pm EST, I know. I know you guys start a little late, but I honestly don't have the time for an hour after scheduled time. I've said it before.

EDIT - No, I never, ever said you were trying to set fastest lap then start the race. I never said that. If you think this series was better without me then consider me gone. I don't want to race thinking somebody hates me for God knows what I did. You obviously think I did something, tell me.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Wow, I was kidding. No one else even noticed, or bothered with it.



And, ghskilla's not involved in the matter. How dare you even consider something that I do his fault? That's low, even by anyone's standards, dude. Accusing someone else, of something that they didn't do, while you know who ACTUALLY did it... Not cool, man. Not cool.


How would you like it, if a kid in the class threw an orange at the teacher, and the teacher saw it, and gave your kid the punishment? Leave ghs out of it. He's cool. He's a lot more accepting than you are. You want to get your own way, in every deal, but never do.


Anyways, just drop it, I forgot I was dealing with someone who has no sense of humour.

 

[freshseth83]

There's your problem, you're making things up. No one made up a room last friday, even though they were welcome to. There's no rule here that says I'm the fixed host of the series. If you wanna start early, open the room yourself.💡 Don't complain because I didn't get it open on your expected time. The only reason it opened later was because I was in another race with Mel (who ironically is complaining). Just funny to see the hypocritical comments by people. It was preseason anyway, so if time is that big of a deal to you, don't race in it, it doesn't even count.

I'm not complaining. I made a joke, you lack a sense of humour, so you didn't understand, that I was kidding, and then you lashed out at ghs, over some joke that I told. I mean, you could punch the baby (figuratively speaking) OR you could punch the bad parent; which would have the best result?

It's pre-season. I wanted to get testing done in a racing environment. If I could have hosted, then I could have. I said last week that I wouldn't host a room, because I don't have the best connection. I never would, out of my own. But had you said I can host if time's not allowing it for you instead of calling me a "nobody" then maybe I could have hosted the lobby. Why do you seem to hate me for some reason?

 

[freshseth83]

I don't need to hear your babble. You may have been joking, Mel, but don't come out your mouth and say stupid things like I hold the race start off to get pole. How the hell would you know? And Gshkilla, you made a comment about the start time too. I responded to it. Why're you speaking for him anyway, Mel? He can type just fine. You're derailing the thread, again. You talk about joking, but when I joke it's taken seriously? More hypocrisy!

So from practice, I think 1:13's are a good time for the LMP's here at SSR5. Probably high 1:12's.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Why're you speaking for him anyway, Mel?

Because ghs is cooler than you, and definitely more mature. He's a guy who's worth standing up for. He's the sort of guy I enjoy racing with.

Thanks for the kind words Mel, very appreciated, but just end it. If we're going to have some massive argument, take it somewhere else, I don't want to see this thread polluted.

This^. You're welcome. Honestly, it's been a pleasure racing with you in Rolex, and these guys in the ALMS will find out, for themselves, that you're a good guy. I'm hoping that this is the final word in this whole matter. It doesn't have to continue. There's no reason for it.

Birds of a feather flock together... when you talk trash you show yourself to be it.

too late for that. Next time read the OP before you try to call someone out.

 

[ghskilla]

This is just for the record. I never called you out on anything. You started this.

As far as time goes, the race always started at 9pm Gshkilla, get it right. You're new here too, so maybe you should get accustomed to how things were run before you chime in.

 

[ITCC_Andrew]

Seth, stop it, you're calling us hypocrites, but you're carrying on, though we tried to end it.


But, again, ghs didn't call you out on anything. I did. Don't blame him for what I did. I'm the one who called you out, on that last minute flying lap that put you in the lead right before you started the race, (it happened at Monza last season.)

And, I didn't say that it was for sure; I said it was co-incidental.


Besides, I have more to deal with, like a single mom, and former best friend of my ex-girlfriend, seemingly dropping hints that she likes me. I bet, that, being a father, you too have more to worry about, than me making a joke of a weird co-incident.

Really? Maybe you forgot what you wrote:

That's what you said, the only host was me. it wasn't delayed an hour. The room opened only about 10 minutes later than usual. Like I said, you try reading the OP first then comment.

You're being hypocritical by saying I delay the start, and that I opened the room late but in reality I was racing with you. And the room opened about 10 minutes before 6pm. Not an hour late like G said. That's why I said check the OP before you make comments like this.

As for Monza, I used a Toyota. It has the highest top speed of the LMPs. Did you really expect anything different than pole from it? Like I said before, there's only two of us who showed up regularly in LMP, it didn't matter who started from pole nearly as much as in GT. So don't accuse people of things you don't have a clue about.

Don't question me. When I go into a new series I read the OP.

Qualifying and the actual race will begin at 8:30 PM EST. Qualifying for all three classes will begin at 8:30 - or 8:45 depending on conditions, then the actual race at 9 sharp.

Yet, I knew from Laguna that you guys started a bit late. I was fine with that. But the actual race started about 9:40-50.

And I wrote that post without the intention of badmouthing you. I never said "and as long as Seth doesn't start the race an hour after scheduled time..." I just meant as long as any other host in general doesn't start it an hour after scheduled time. If you took it as in I was badmouthing you then I'm sorry, but I never meant it to mean you.

 

[FlyinHawaiian77]

I can still race tonight. But it would have to be on a DS3. I moved the 32" and the PS3 into my room last night. No way in hell would she let me bring my wheel setup into the room.

Its still pre season right? I guess it wouldnt hurt anything if I went back to DS3 tonight. Just send me a message if you see me playing something else and need an extra driver.

Sorry guys. There was a train de-railment in West Virginia and we are the preffered surveyor's for CSX. The job is 4 hours from our office and the accident was on a bridge. So I'm thinking we have to be there all weekend and a little bit into the beginning of next week.

 

[Kevin01SH]

Sounds like you boys had a busy night/morning. I say boys because thats what it looks like, 2 boys throwing rocks at eachother on a playground and calling eachother butt face. Id have to say ghs is an innocent by stander, he just stated he wants the race to start on time (which they hardly do). He made a valid point and shouldnt have been called out for anything. Last few seasons Pipi had stressed the same thing and no one got on to him.

That sucks Flyin, i wouldnt even try to attempt to race with a DS3. Id probably crash everyone if i did.
