CLUB SHUFFLE-ESQUE: Closed...Full

[VBR]

Club Shuffle-Esque



If you're having trouble finding decent online lobbies in GT6 for stock car racing on sensible tyres, then this is the club for you.
​

About:


This club is about trying to recreate some of the best aspects of Shuffle racing in GT6, without all the convoluted means of choosing cars some others have adopted. After all, one of the best things about Shuffle was that it was pretty much a case of plug n play; turn up in a lobby when you wanted, get in a car, race, have some good clean fun. As a result there are no set times for racing in this club, we're just a bunch of ex Shufflers & hosts doing what we love best, racing stock road cars on sensible tyres to a set format as & when we feel like it (I myself run a room most Saturdays).​

Rules:


1) Drive clean & respectfully.

2) You cannot use the same car twice.

3) Power Limiter = 6pp maximum detune, no more.​

Members/Auxiliary Hosts:


To become an Official Member ask to be added to the list in post 3, & make sure that you have a good amount, & an odd mix, of untuned cars between 350-550pp in your garage. Official Members can also act as Auxiliary Hosts when need be, so if no Official Host has a room open, they can open one & post up the number. Just make sure to stick to the Format & Event Settings as outlined in post 2! To become an unofficial member, simply look out for the Club Shuffle-Esque room numbers posted up by Hosts or Auxiliary Hosts in this thread & the status updates on the GT Planet main forum page, & join the lobby in GT6.


​

Official Hosts:


To apply to become an Official Host you must have a good reliable connection in GT6, some room hosting experience (preferably in GT5's Shuffle/Spec lobbies), a USB keyboard for your PS3 (or be a fast typist as chat is disabled), a desire to stick to the club format enforcing the rules in the lobby, & room on your PSN blocked list. Also, please save all replays for future reference. Apply with an @VBR in this thread.

[VBR]

Format:



Performance Points range is anywhere between 350-550pp only.

Hosts; room name must always be written exactly as; CLEAN! Stock: 350-550pp, CH-SH.​

PP & tyres; 350-399pp = Comfort Hard, 400-449pp = Comfort Medium, 450-499pp = Comfort Soft, & 500-550pp = Sports Hard. *

Room numbers must always be posted up by hosts in this thread & in their Status Updates, that way everyone can find lobbies easily & quickly. #​

Race cars, rally cars, or cars with numbers/liveries etc are not allowed. However, concept cars & tuner cars like Spoon/Amuse etc are allowed. No KTM's allowed.

After everyone votes for a track, previous winner picks a suitable PP, then we choose our cars. Hosts can override choices if problematic, & choose PP if winner isn't quick enough.

Races are roughly 10 minutes long give or take a few minutes, breaks/practice between races are roughly 5 minutes long (which should equal about 4 races per hour).

Laggers must always be reported to the host & be asked to leave after being informed of their connection problems. If they refuse, they get kicked.

Three strikes & you're out! Bad drivers are warned twice by the host, & by the third incident will be kicked out.

Abusive & repeat offenders will go on the blocked list of every Official Host & Member.

And keep your language as clean as the racing!

🤬



* Don't let that scare, or fool you! Comfort Medium tyres in GT6 have the same grip level as Comfort Soft in GT5 etc. Think about it...

# Post Status Updates in this format; "GT6 Lobby Open Now: CLEAN! Stock: 350-550pp, CH-SH. Room ID is: 1472-" (copy & paste that).

[GranTurismo916]

I'm definitely interested. I'll join. 👍

 

[colj00]

sounds great. hope we can get some Strayans and Kiwis to host so i dont lag up the European and american rooms.

 

[USERID_77a23]

Sounds good , I'm interested to join/host occasionally. I see this is a new thread, just throwing it out there but visual damage is just a drain in bandwidth for some, causing lag and it's not all that necessary. I'm used to hosting heavy damage rooms, do you think that could be an option left up to the host??

In the interests of cutting down on lag I will change that. 👍

I won't change Heavy Damage to optional though (even though I'm a big fan of it), as I want to keep the room settings very consistent to appeal to the most players.

 

[Holty]

Sign me up! Maybe we could form a suggested garage.. as the PP systems seems a bit flawed in GT6.

 

[VBR]

Sign me up!

As Official Host or Official Member?

 

[Holty]

Official member, just for now! Looking forward to this, I've had enough 500pp tuned lobbies on racing softs!

 

[VBR]

I've had enough 500pp tuned lobbies on racing softs!

I've never even been in such a lobby in GT6. To quote @BrandonW77 "[GT6] public rooms are a wasteland of racing tire nonsense." Let's change that.

 

[smskeeter23]

I'm down for member status

Hopefully I can get back on my Wed night schedule again.

 

[lTwiSparkle]

Thanks for PMing this, don't tend to lurk the Online forum much but I am interested in this sort of thing!
Colour me intrigued, this seems well thought out and fun! Do miss shuffle racing
Sign me up! Member, please, if that's okay?

 

[VBR]

It's the flaws in the system that made Shuffle racing so much fun, as it was more about driving on track with a huge variety of cars than simply winning. I hope that everyone takes to heart what I wrote about collecting an odd mix of cars, not just all the fast ones (hence rule 2). I wanna see a wide range of vehicles out on track, with some odd ball choices & odd ball drivers to match!

 

[Doodle]

I'll be an official member.

Doodle - PSN = doodlemonoply

Fixed

 

[LeoStrop]

Sign me in as member!

 

[Gerarghini]

Sign me up

Then it's off to buy some cars in said pp range .

 

[JWalker]

I'm in. I like that there are no official times the races are hosted 👍 Never know these days when I'll have some free time to race.

 

[CobraFoxF1]

I'll join as a member. feel free to send friend requests

 

[Snaeper]

Sounds interesting, I'd like to participate in races.

I'd say I'd like to host, but I tend to not have any fun hosting since I take it way too seriously.

I'd help the hosts, though.

 

[1gt6freak]

Thanks for the invite, is this club for occasional racers or do you have to play regularly. I love racing cars but I just starting playing euro truck simulator2 and I'm kind of hooked on it LOL, but I am interested in joining your club if it's ok to play once in a while. Thanks again!👍

 

[smskeeter23]

Pardon my lack of knowledge on this but if the room is puplic whats the point of a member list if anyone can join? Is it the hosts responsibility to ensure entrants are registered? Or is the point to let anyone in who wants to?

 

[LJ12]

Count me in, @VBR 👍

Pardon my lack of knowledge on this but if the room is puplic whats the point of a member list if anyone can join? Is it the hosts responsibility to ensure entrants are registered? Or is the point to let anyone in who wants to?

The point of this is so that anyone who wants to can join a room, GT Planet member or not. Anyone on the Official Member list can also host a room if there is no Official Host doing so. This way, there could be lots of rooms open 24/7 with the same name & settings, thus attracting ex Shufflers looking for something similar. It might take a while to build up a following, but it's what I'm aiming for.

For instance, I have no room open now, so if you wanted to open one with all the settings listed in post 2, go for it! Make sure to post the room name & room number in your Status Update & in this thread.

The point of having a member list is to try & keep some control over room settings when they act as Auxiliary Hosts. Also, if someone joins a lobby & is redirected here to GT Planet, they'll see the member list & lots of familiar faces.

Many people are complaining about not finding any good rooms online, so if this takes off they will be able to find good rooms with consistent settings & like-minded players.

I would definitely like to join the group. Sound great.

 

[greggypoos]

Great idea, thanks. Barely been online in gt6 due to lack of shuffle. Hope it takes off!

Good enough 👍

As others have said I have barely been online due to lack of shuffle. When I am it was always a room I created with 530PP, CS, ABS Only, No tuning... and i rarely got anybody staying in them because they all wanted tuning and RS

 

[GregOr1971]

Stock cars and comfort tires ... sounds wonderful

See you online.

 

[FatnSlo]

Count me in as well. About half my limited race time is spent looking for lobbies.

Took a quick look this afternoon and a search for SRF off No Tuning returned 3 results.

Pathetic.
