Clean as far as im concern 👍 
Hey guys! (and gals?)
Did i catch your attention? Please READ!
Finally got caught up with the thread (10 pages deep!).
Hosting
NEP told me a number of pages back that he did not feel like hosting, but i thought that was in the first race, so i put him as back-up for race 2. The reason why i chose him is that he has one of the better connections in the sign-up list (and is a Veteran WSGTC Driver). CSL hosted last week and it didn't seem to be a problem even at a modest 5down/2up connection. I'm not completely sure as to what it all comes down to in terms of connections. 3D3 uses a private lounge (from a separate/independent account) and as far as i can tell, there hasnt been any major issues with lag - CSL can probably confirm this.
The idea is, i will create new PSN accounts for our Private lounges (as Official Race Rooms) that everyone should add (after the Qualifier when the field is determined). These accounts can serve as practice rooms also. Anyone and everyone under WSGTC can drop in and do practice alone, or do practice races (pre-race procedures, formations laps, specs etc.) with others. There will be 4 rooms in Total (or 4 new PSN Accounts).
- WSGTC PAL Room A
- WSGTC PAL Room B
- WSGTC NTSC Room A
- WSGTC NTSC Room B
Bickering/Arguing
Emotions can run high before, during, and after a race - but I absolutely disapprove of any personal comments/attacks posted in our public threads. We are under the jurisdiction of GTPlanet so this is not just coming from me. It is under the AUP. Sjaak and Gravitron are Moderators and are Stewards of the series. They can come in and hand out infractions if need be.
@ SuperSic - you are straight forward with your posts, but please use better choice of words. People have different personalities and things can flare up easily if they are offended. If need be, please keep things private.
@ NEPALII/Biffy and anyone else i've missed - Same with what i said above with Tony. And also, to NEP, are you still willing to host any more races from this point on?
@ Tony_Kart - I can't quite understand what your getting at. You're quitting if you don't find a manageable setup? Your too slow to compete? Can you send me a PM in your native language (Deutsche?).
@ People not knowing the Rules/Specs - You need to read. They are posted in the OP (and in the Race Briefings). I've mentioned this multiple times. It is the only thing we (as organizers) ask of you for participating in this series. It is not too much to ask to be frank.
@ Everyone - Anymore bickering in public will result into probations from this point on. Anything i see out of line will be reported immediately. Remember, GTPlanet itself is sponsoring this Series. I can contact Jordan himself to hand out infractions/suspensions/banishments. Still, if you feel like saying something in Public use your words carefully, if you feel like saying something that you think can be out of line, reply like this: 'Sent you a reply through PM, check your inbox. **Insert Appropriate Smiley Here!**'
I like this comment by Doc (GTP_Pinoy2) in regards to NEP's Dad keeping his cool during a heated battle for the lead:
Calmness and Self-control comes with Age.
Thankfully, this is just Preseason. I am sure the Qualifier will do its job with skinning out the field down to the dedicated. Not sure about 'disciplined' but we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. As far as i can tell, only PAL GT500 had problems. The other races went down pretty well.
Everyone, take a chill pill.
Lastly, on a personal note. Thank you for everyone that has helped a lot so far! To the Stewards, specially CSL and Aderrrm for Testing, and Litchi, for his round the clock hosting in the Qualifier thread, and his relentless activity inside both threads even with his limited vocabulary in EnglishI appreciate your enthusiasm! Thanks to anyone else i've missed
Apologies for my recent absence in the thread (and maybe the case at least for this week or so), but it was for a reason of the highest regard. My grand mother had emergency open-heart surgery early Friday. All is well and she is strong. The doctor is hopeful and the best case scenario is that she'll be able to go home before Christmas to celebrate 'Noche Buena' (Christmas Eve).
Anything else i missed? Any grammar mistakes? Typo? Let me know.
Oh, and check this also.
