Do you remove your "friends" if they don't remote race?

[Triple6wild]

Ive got a mix of friends from traders to bspec-ers, drifters and racers and of course a few random spectators who never said a word to me but most of my entire list comes from GT. I just work my way down the list including available drivers from anyone who has em. It's nice to see my drivers have been run but meh I'll still run everyone.

If my list ever gets full I will just remove anyone who hasn't logged in for a very long period of time or a name I don't recognize. I do check log's and always remember the good drivers even if there wasn't much chatting so it will work out in the long run lol

Testdasi seems popular though Hard to catch your drivers available.
Anyways I'm gonna snag a few names from the thread. I'll run em whenever I'm on my computer.

Nope, would never do that. I have full field races as it is so no need to delete people who don't participate.

 

[firestartar]

List was maxed at 100 so i just removed about 15 people who have not raced any of my drivers since day one...

Update- I'm now using the BSpec Grinder - so it chooses drivers at random. I hope people don't drop me because I'm not specifically racing them - but if they friend me - they'll definitely be getting their money's worth over time because I'm just going to run this whenever I'm not A-spec'n or trying to finish out my bspec grind to level 40. . .

That sums me up perfectly too. Still got some room on my friends list, I'll add you later.

OK i have been running bspec for 3 days straight almost. but tonight i went to an MMA fight.(amazing) and Latin dancing. don't ask but OMG. anyways my widget froze right after i left.

I heard that short races get you more XP money, but it also increases your race amount so you Inlude more friends but you also run the chance of the app freezing which it did. So sorry to all tonight.

I ment to race you guys but it froze

 

[Milldrum]

I remove anyone who doesn't interact.
Not racing my Bob is my job.

Not answering a message for 3 days is theirs.

Initially, I said no, it doesn't bother me. However, as time has passed, I've found that only 1 of my friends actually hosts races other than myself. I tend to host as much as possible, sometimes as much as 24 hrs a day, yet I earn only a small percentage of the credits my friends do because of course only one of my Bob's is ever being used (2 if I'm lucky and my 1 other 'hosting' friend is doing so).
So, yes, I'm afraid I am going to start deleting 'friends' (acquaintances really) who don't host (as opposed to just race).

Oh so that's why you deleted me! I was wondering why all my Bobs didn't earn stuff...

Oh well, I didn't benefit much anyway because my Bobs always come last because they are all low level. But the XP was good, it means that I don't have to do any grinding for B Spec until later.

I guess I'll just do the B Spec races myself then, or just find someone else to take my Bobs to race.

So when you host a race, you cannot enter your own Bobs?

 

[soniae74]

Don't take it personally, but I'm not earning anywhere near what you are from my races and thus it's of no benefit to me to keep hosting races if I get no recompense. I may as well be B-Spec grinding too. No to answer your question, you cannot enter any more than 1 of your own Bobs.

Should you decide to start hosting, feel free to readd me - although I'll unerstand of you don't

 

[Counter_Z23]

It's ok, I don't mind you deleting me.

Wouldn't it be better for you to just grind B Spec instead of hosting these remote races then? I mean, you might as well as you're not getting anything significant from this.

 

[poolhaas]

How do you keep track of who has raced your bobs?

when you cash in you can see who has been using your bobs


edit: excuse me, this was a while back

Yes, although not when I'm sleeping

 

[Blitz24]

I see there's the only reason why Soniae74 still has me on her list

Just finding my feet with the remote racing.

Feel free to add me PSN ID: Brookes04

I've downloaded the grinding widget and was planning to leave it overnight one night to see how it goes.

will add you today, I remote race alot because my work allows me to, but i really don't even take the time to see wo races my drivers, all I know is that rigth now I can't claim the awards because I'm at 18 something million cr and I have over 2.5million cr on Bspec drivers

 

[wylinU]

Ok to all my friends I am wylinU and I'm at the beach with my ps3

Guys trip and all they want to play is zombies so I'm sorry the best races won't be as plentafull this week end. I'll be back Monday

 

[wylinU]

Call of duty zombies

 

[soniae74]

I'm not ashamed to admit that my answer to this has now changed to a categorical YES.

With exception to those who were my friends before remote racing was released, if after a couple of days someone doesn't reciprocate, it's bye bye.

As a couple of freeloaders already know

 

[scarslasher]

Only the ones that I added for the sole premise of remote racing.


That said, I have an alt which I use for remote races, too. So I can race my Bobs and theirs.

 

[phil bell]

I do think we should think about the definition of "friends".As far as remote racing is concerned I reckon "associates" is a better term.Just imo.

I completely agree. I don't play GT5 to make 'friends', I have enough of those

 

[thunderjolt]

I only delete people if they haven't been on in 2+ months

 

[Bonker]

I voted 'don't care' because I don't. It's just a game, although it's as fun a game as I've ever played. I expect that if I'm generous and try to use all my "friends" Bobs, they will do similar; some more, some less. In the end, it will be gobs of free credits to buy all the LM cars I can get my hands on, which is the reason I started remote racing in the first place.
