Frequent B-spec Grinders Club 2

[firestartar]

Welcome to all new blood!

 

[Kietunes]

Hi guys, I'd be up for this as & when I can, I just couldn't commit to specific times/periods...just a shame that online doesn't count towards 'Air of Experience' or else I'd be all over it!

PSN: kietunes

So if I add everyone in the list and run the widget I'm in? If so I'll start adding when I get back from work & leave the widget running overnight/most of tomorrow...

If you're ok with the rules in the first post it should be ok, just wait for Skyle to add you to the club and then you can go on.

keptang - can you tell me what formula you're using to calculate the "Club Members Used In Races (%) [2]" in the spreadsheet, please?

I'm getting frustrated that despite running the widget pretty much 24/7 I'm only experiencing 2 or 3 drivers in use at any time. I have all 6 drivers shared.

Are you taking into account the number of races created by a user in any period of time? Does the calculation include a club's drivers being used by a non-club driver? Does a user who runs the widget only on a weekend but only runs 10 club friends score higher than a user who runs the widget 24/7 and regularly has 12 out of 16 slots being club drivers? (approx 80% club)

Sorry for the questions, but I'm getting to the point where I've filtered out practically all of my non-club GT5 members from the widget. I feel that I need to start using them in an attempt to increase the rate of cash growth in my account.

As you can see, I currently only have 2 drivers in use - and one of them is by me!

Hey burratha,
westomat posted here https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?p=5549447#post5549447 how it's calculated.

So very simple, by checking a few races and see who is in there or not.

I have only updated the "Days Since Last Race", I don't know when westomat updated "Club Members Used In Races (%)" the last time right now.

edit: "I feel that I need to start using them in an attempt to increase the rate of cash growth in my account."
Yes, I have the same sort of situation.

I'm gonna hide the "Club Members Used In Races (%)" until westomat decides to update it again, as it makes no sense to have info there which isn't updated.

 

[burratha]

Ok, cheers.

Are you just looking at races that are hosted by club members, rather than races that club members might be included by non-club members?

 

[frason]

Ok, cheers.

Yep, the only check is on races hosted by club members.

 

[Skyle]

Welcome kietunes.

Ok, cheers.

My logs show only 6 club members having hosted races where my drivers are included.

RMA, Harakusara, Alfaproject, Damienfoto, keptang, extryker - thank you.

Non-club members who have used my drivers (extensively, may I add) - Hoosierjake and Jovotron - thank you also.

Everyone else - get grinding !!!

 

[burratha]

That's done.

Can you re-login to GT5 online, please (web browser). As you can see (from my screengrab above), my widget can't use you as it doesn't know how many of your drivers are free.

 

[firestartar]

Yeay! Club full.

Welcome kietunes. 👍

Same here.

Both for FRStenum and jackthelad1992.

 

[frason]

Has jackthelad1992 added anyone from the club?

Yes added me up this morning, drivers still showing ? though.

Update: just forced re-authentication and now all 6 drivers showing, ? still on FRStenum

I can see FRStenum now as well, ? though.
No FR received from jackthelad1992.

I guess the ? means not yet fired up gt5 since the friend add. Anyone remember when the last time the club was actually full? I've forgotten so it must be a long while.

 

[Kietunes]

Welcome kietunes.

Thanks mate, I'll start adding you all this evening just as soon as I've done the Suzuka 1000 mile endurance race...should be up and running with the widget this evening

It might be, or it's just a delay with PSN etc. I always suggest to logon to gran-turismo.com for new people and it usually shows up in a day or less.

Long time ago we were fully staffed, can't remember (too long), now let's grind everyone!

Chaps - as this thread is getting a little large, I was wondering if we'd benefit more from a discussion-group? It could also allow us to move off-topic and discuss other matters not necessarily related to the club membership / setup. I, for one, wouldn't mind chatting about other stuff with group members.

I've taken the liberty of creating a group - https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/group.php?groupid=389

If it doesn't work out, we can always close it down just as easily

If you join up, I'll get the ball rolling.

A good idea I think, can you change the name so it's the same as the club (without the double-c ) ?
"Frequent B-spec Grinders Club 2"

How to join?

Lol.. found it.

 

[burratha]

Sorry - had the settings all wrong.

Try now - I've changed it to moderated entry.

Actually a good thing. I will link it later to the 1st post.

My last log shows me racing your drivers 26 times.
I wouldn't tell people to get grinding if your data is flawed.

 

[burratha]

I'm saying what my online GT5 logs tell me. I'm not making things up, I assure you - I would suggest your logs go back further than mine, or you've raced me since I checked. In any case, this wasn't a direct dig and I thank you for your racing.

Correct.

As long as we aren't 31-32 members in the club racing 24/7 (which will never happen), it will never play out 100% fair and quite difficult to keep track of who is racing who.

I think with the new activity log being updated a few times/week, we get it as good as we possibly can.

With the new browser-widget coming, there will be a lot of enhancements, one which will be that when using Reciprocate, it will try to pay back the ones who have raced you in a much more efficient way.
