You can place me as Backup host since Gurney was having issues getting in when i hosted and i can do replay uploading.

 

[CANOWORMS1]

Scores for me.

FYI I am away for the weekend and my flight doesn't land until 45 minutes before lobby opening so I may be late to the show. Backup score keeper?

Thank you. Once I figure all this stuff out I wouldn't mind helping with some of the duties. Shoot me some instructions on how to do whatever you need done the most. I'll try my best to make it every Sunday but work might prevent me from being there sometimes.

The easiest duty to get your feet wet first is Texter. This duty requires one to greet and inform 'randoms' who enter the lobby that it is an official league event and politely ask them to leave. There are many ways to state this and each texter has their own style, but a sample text is something along these lines: "Hello, this is a private race league event, if you would like to join, please visit gtplanet.net/snail for information on how to join. In the meantime, please exit lobby. Thank you."

This may seem like a lot to type out every time, and it is. However, you only have to type it out once, then select the 3-dots at the bottom of the on-screen keyboard. This brings up the Copy/Paste menu allowing you to copy the text. Then you only have to paste this text each time you need it.

Just made one up with Xrad's help. I'm in the lobbies practicing if anybody wants to join.

I had a blast racing with y'all last night! You can put me down for host too if need be. Racerchamp30 taught me how and I'll study up on the Snail OLR guide before next Sunday.

 

[CdnSweetTee]

I’m good for back up replays

 

[CANOWORMS1]

I am away again this weekend, RV testing. Thanks @JamCar0ne for covering for me last week.

On Sunday I noticed considerable lag. When I joined the second lobby I noticed @radliffracing room only had 2 bars. When I was viewing replays for my photo post I also notice a lot of jitter in the cars. Radliff, are you using a wifi connection, or are you hard wired? I also notice that Rad is in Florida and I'm in Vancouver, BC. Coincidence? I think not. 😁

 

[radliffracing]

I was using a hardwired connection this past Sunday and I had done Oshawa Joe's procedure for the modem and router. I ended up with lower download (8mbps) and upload (2mbps) speed afterwards unfortunately and the Bills game was coming on so my wife was attiment about me not unplugging the internet again. I did the procedure again the next day and my speeds came back to normal. (80 mbps down and 8 mbps up). We have spectrum 1000 mbps service but I've come to realize our router is the weakest link. It has a 10/100 ethernet port and I believe that is restricting me with speeds when hardwired as I don't see any improvent over wifi even with the cat8 cable I just tried out today. On top of that my ps4 literally just went out. It keeps telling me the game is corrupt and to delete and reinstall which I have done earlier today and got the message again a few minutes ago. Now the ps4 won't even start lol. I'm working on a fix for everything. Ps5 and new router possibly. $$$
It's not looking good for me tomorrow night but I'll try to get things sorted one way or another. Who wants to be the host and the texter if I'm not able to?
