You sure? Doesn't sound like a Scotsman to me!

Looking ahead to 2010, any suggestions for next season? Anything I could do differently?

Let me win?

 

[PeterJB]

Allow a third vote?

 

[Ian Poole]

Do a NASCAR style shootout towards the end of the season!

 

[Sureboss]

Make you run around in circles and stop for fuel every now then?

3rd vote? Why? To try and have less ties for positions?

 

[livemusic]

Free beer for everyone!

 

[Pescara for GT5]

Allow a third vote?

I agree here, it would allow for more people to score points, which I bet would be good for me.

 

[Sureboss]

Well, it wouldn't be more points. I try not to go outside of an F1 grid/points system.

 

[Pescara for GT5]

IMO adding a third vote wouldn't be going outside of the F1 grid system, I think it would make each week more competitive though.

 

[Pescara for GT5]

Oh, and sorry for the Double post, but how about every week after voting, we could know how many votes each points scoring player earned.

 

[Sureboss]

I initially made it two votes, with 1 being with 2 voting points and vote 2 being worth 1 voting point, so as to make it easier in allocating points.

What do others think of having 3 votes? My initial thought is that it will just make the process a bit more time consuming for everyone. I don't want to drive people away.

Btw, you can edit your own posts to avoid double posts.

 

[SUPER NUMBBER]

Qualifying sessions?

 

[Pescara for GT5]

Qualifying sessions?

How would that work???

 

[SUPER NUMBBER]

I dunno...I'm just throwing stuff out there. I'm goin' nuts here!

It could be like a normal round, but the person with the most votes gets a two-vote head start in the 'race'.

To save time, give a window of a few hours to make captions, then a few hours to vote.

Sound alright?

 

[Ian Poole]

Qualifying sessions?

How about I expand on that and say there is a caption on Friday with the bottom X eliminated and then one on Saturday with the next bottom X eliminated and the final hoever many there is go through to the Sunday final?

 

[Sureboss]

I'm thinking of ways of making the game simpler, not harder.

It might not make it simpler but it would be easier

 

[PeterJB]

Give all people just one attempt at captioning. People have changed captions too much this season.

 

[Ian Poole]

Oh yeah, like F1 Qualifying 2005 i think?

 

[Sureboss]

Yeah, not too much a fan of that. Say maybe, you can change your caption within 24 hours, but it should be in the same post. That does infuriate me when going through the captions.

 

[livemusic]

We should get sponsorship.

 

[SUPER NUMBBER]

We should get sponsorship.

How about the Coca-Cola F1 Picture Caption Championship?

 

[Ardius]

Seeing as this is the resident picture thread, I will post these here, they are naturally shamelessly nicked from certain other F1 forums of course

Vettel's doppelganger facepalm:

How 2009 affected people's faces:

 

[SUPER NUMBBER]

OK, where were these photos during the year? These pics caption themselves!

VETTEL: Red Bull wanted me to find a second driver in place of Mark next year....but you know what they say..."If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself". Soooooooooo....

 

[Ardius]

Ross: There goes Jenson and Ruben's contracts!

 

[LewyOs]

One too many Champagne and Red Bull cocktails for Mark Webber.

 

[Nicksfix]

Webber slurring his words badly : I'm ready (hic-hiccup) , to take on (hiccup) , the world. (hiccup)

 

[Ardius]

Nick Fry: Oh bugger, you haven't gone and designed our secret 2010 chassis in cake form??!?!?

 

[TS]

Seriously, you guys are replacing me. WTF has 'Nando done other than send Renault down the toilet?

 

[SUPER NUMBBER]

BRAWN: Mercedes whispers "I wanna buy your t**m" and I



******!...IN!...MY PANTS!!!
