#MUST READ# I am retiring...

Ahh yes... 👍

Those will be Ben and Jerry, and I suspect Ben won't work along with Jerry well...
Sounds like a good solution (all depending on Jerry's and Colby's agreement), especially since they're both trusted members (with opinions), and quick drivers ever since the days of the WRS when I was still learning how to read... And I don't know about Jerry, but Ron has excellent combos up his sleeve.

Ben and Jerry is an Ice cream lol I think you meant Tom and Jerry
At least Ron and Jerry rhymes the same.

WOW CONGRATS ON THE GIRL!!! treat her nice and make her a keeper , or is it the other way round
I've been only in WRS since WRS88 and WRS89, and now I am busy with college but Flat-Out/Cyril was only a temp, and from the looks of it you did a very good job before the regent so CONGRATS again

I nominate AngelCreator in this proposed "WRS Triumvirate", because he was quite eager and willing to continually update the leaderboard as Flat-Out/Cyril could only do it 3-4 times a week.

and both Der Alta's , Gingiba, and Bigracer's proposals sound good,

so I am behind this triumvirate idea,
with one in Euro, USA, AUS,
with a private forum for the trio
​

...👍

I was there at the beginning, and had a small part in the creation of the WRS. I've always carried a bit of pride in watching the continual races each week come together and carry out.

MisterWeary, in the short time you've served, you've handled it very well. I applaud and congratulate you for your service.

Now for the next step.

As each Steward has approached his retirement, he narrowed his choices down to a select few, and then appraoched each one to get their thoughts and opinions. He then offered the selection up to the staff, if only as a gesture of appropriateness. The new steward was phased in, and the previous one was phased out after a few weeks.

In this case, with not one, but three equal partners that look capable, it may be a better solution to have a group of stewards as the duties are growing to push a breaching point for one person.

A scenario I can present, is We'd create a seperate forum, for the group of stewards to set-up races, plan, and build the challenge. Compile and post the results. If one person is overwhelmed in the real world, the others can take the reins for a bit, easily. Thus posting the races become easily as they can be built weeks in advance and simply have the thread moved to the public section whence it is posted.

Thoughts?

this might be a strange suggestion but i'll make it anyway. call me a traitor but you could also see it as realistic. also consider that i am a huge fan of wrs 👍 👍 👍 in its current form (check out my consistency).

david/kart38's gt playground site version 2.0 is up and running in full glory since a while now. running a race series is done in a jitty with automated submissions and all

maybe some guys from gtp should talk to david if some form of cooperation between both forums (fora? ) would be thinkable.

please remember that this suggestion is only done in the interest of the continuity of the wonderful weekly wrs challenge that we all participate in and in which we all find so much pleasure and fun.

otherwise, if the wrs committee would be implemented i'd say appoint one steward in each important timezone so that one would be online most of the time in both usa, europe and australia. brad (aus) and james (usa) are already suggested, and maybe michael or metar would cover the euro zone.

just the $0.02 from a huge wrs addict.

I think Der Alta's plan is the most simple way of keeping the WRS running active, without the stewards "dying"... With Steven's plan of three stewards of different timezones, there will always be one steward awake.
With a steward-subforum, compiling the results will be as simple as submitting them - Each steward, when he receives a submission, writes in in that thread. At the end, they (trying not to hint at anyone ) let that results-spreadsheet program loose on 'em, and refresh the thread, adding the usual template of Rules and Regulations, and finished. Perhaps the deadline will be moved then, to a time when the steward who volunteers to do the finish on the results will post them... And again, if a steward can't work on it that week, all he has to do it forward the submissions he received to the others.
Also, with two or three stewards, they could take turns at posting "their style of combos", so each group of drivers will be satisfied ('GT Mode'ers, Sticky-cars, and low-grip cars)...

P.S. and I will patiently wait for the WRS89 unoffical/offical results thread

 

[daddy-o]

Holy Crap! i am very pleased that their is hope in the world....good luck with the "someone" that you've met and don't worry she'll be gentle....the first time I wish that I had the time and dedication that a great many of you blokes put into this little beasty we call GT4, but alas my wife, two children, full time job etcetera keep me from doing both the racing then the reporting on GTPlanet.


Are we looking forward with this board to incorporate on-line play, if it actually happens or is that hosted by a SONY entity?

Thanks again for your service to this community!
