Remote Racing Etiquitte

[Rusi]

Is it cool just to take your friends low level Bob and beat em down every time? I mean I can't wait around for my friends to collect their XP and get better.

Really the XP should update automatically.

Now I'm thinking just to be fair I wont collect the prize for some low level Bobs.

It can't update automatically. Your mate may have restored his game save, due to whatever, so it won't match or be an accumulation to what it was (hope that makes sense).That's why they have to logon and choose "recieve" and update their Bobs in this way.

Even newbie Bob's are gaining so much considering the owners zero amount of input. Whether they come last, or mid-field, they are still gaining a more than decent amount of cr/xp. Your mate could check in a week and his level 0 Bob will jump to 5 or more.

Myself, I don't care if my Bob's come last, as long as they're getting used to help me gain credits. I've been hosting a lot of races, yet getting very little in return. eg. I've pushed 5 blokes Bobs to all over 3 "price lights" (+200K) so I hope in the next week they do me half the favor. If your online friends don't do ANY hosting, I wouldn't worry about the xp or giving them free money.

I would say yes it is. Since remote racing started, I've created 4 new (level 0) Bobs. Thanks mostly to some friends beating those new Bobs down, they are all now at level 15 or higher. So, I'm pretty happy with the beatings.

I was thinking about this over the weekend... I felt kind of bad for ignoring my friends level 30 Bob and choosing his two levels zero's instead. I started using his level 30 and sure enough.... the m'fer kicked the snot out of my Bob.

But, I got sick of everyone choosing my low level Bobs, so I started using my friends high level one's too.

P.S. Good topic. It's kind of silly and all but worth discussion. It'll be really interesting to see what this game mode evolves into. Eventually everyones Bobs will be leveled up pretty good and they're will be no avoiding them in favor of Noob Bobs.

I'm not to worried about my bobs getting beat down. I do check the log run the name/names that show up the most at least run 2 of their drivers every race. I also go down the list from top to bottom and grab 1 drive from each person then make my way back up the list.

I just randomly grab drivers, not really looking at the level.

I have all 6 of my Bob's set for online status, My girlfriends 5, and my dummy acct to host the race. I use a couple friends high level Bobs for the Nascar events since the cars are very evenly matched. It really makes it a little more interesting to watch when my level 26 Bob is desperatly chasing down a level 30 Bob, and it looks like I'm watching the superbowl when he completes a pass. Popcorn goes flying everywhere. And may I just add, this new remote race feature is freaking awesome, I enjoy it so so so much more than just one of my Bob's fighting against AI whose strength and mental strength auto rejuvinate.

I`m using all the Bobs. I don`t care which level they are.
Very nice to watch a full field of 25+ Bobs going head on head at Daytona.

Right now in my Race lowest Bob is 18 and highest 40. Mines 28.

When I'm hosting, I just start at the top of my friends list and add every driver I can, then work my way down my friends list as I host more races. On days that I work, I usually host about 20 races as I'm unwinding. When I'm off, I host in the background while doing stuff around the house and hanging out with the family. Because I host so much, and because of the people who've added me from this site, I can sometimes come home to some decent pocket change from races that others have hosted.

Not bad for little effort. When I'm sleeping or at work, I don't need the system on so I'm still earning credits while others race my Bobs.

Helps support the racing and collecting habits too.

Beating up on your friends lower level bob isn't hurting him, it's helping him!
