^^^^ I was a little surprised you seemed to be in such a rush to boot me, and it's because I didn't realize I was in the pits or on track!! I thought I was out of the race and would be off track and able to watch, not on track. Sorry about that!
The races I did were fun though and it seemed like it was close and clean racing.
Hey, no hard feelings!!
I was kind of in a rush to boot you.
Well, not in a rush to boot you... I was in a rush to start the race.
In order to get as much racing in... we have to keep things moving between races.
That's why I keep saying "Get in your car first then chat!"... because then someone can be checking your car. But if you're not in your car, nobody can check or start the race when ready.
So sometimes people are buried in that text screen & everyone else is waiting.
But in your case it was that everyone was waiting for you to leave the track.
Believe it or not, I really hate kicking people at all! That's why I do the countdown!
People say "the countdown of doom" and that it's scary.
But I do that because I don't like using the kick function... it seems so final and extreme.
But if I don't do it...
Well some stranger can jump in the race after the countdown starts, and then everyone will blame the host!!
For some reason you CAN'T kick someone once the race start button is pressed and the countdown starts, but people can still enter the track!!
And that happened in the past.
Where some stranger got out of the car... but then waited for the countdown to start, and I tried & tried to kick him - even tried blocking him on PSN while the countdown was happening - .... and nothing, he was able to stay in the room & race.
The kick function doesn't work when the countdown of the race is in progress.
