I usually say "When the host goes AFK, the trolls come out to play." I wonder how long it will be before somebody puts this in their signature...

:lol: Ill have to put that in my sig :sly:.
Edit: That's your second quote I have in my sig :dopey:
 
Ugh.

Apparently... attempting to drive clean to avoid being wrecked in a dirty "Chill" lobby will get you kicked.

Twice in a row. Same situation - I get a massive lead because everyone else wrecks, and get kicked for winning. (First was LMP only; won with the 905; 2nd was Super GT, won with the weider HSV.)
 
After tuning a Honda BEAT Version Z '93 to 400PP, I decided to head online to test it out against other players.
I entered a 400PP Nurburgring lobby, in which tires were limited to Comfort: Soft or less (which ironically was the compound I was tuning on). There were 6 racers in total including me. Here were the cars:

Subaru Impreza Sedan WRX STi '95
Chevrolet Corvette Convertible (C3) '69
Dodge Ram 1500 LARAMIE Hemi Quad Cab '04
Honda BEAT Version Z '93 (me)
Nissan Silvia K Dias Selection '90
Toyota Corolla Levin '83

It was obvious that the Impreza and Corvette were power-limited, but that doesn't mean they were going to be slugs. I knew I had to push it to win. I started 3rd with the Ram on the side of me. Everything went well for the 1st half, but approaching the Karusell, the Corvette cut me off after I attempted to overtake, knocking me into the grass and losing control. I slid sideways and attempted to correct it, and collected the Silvia and Ram. We pushed on in an attempt to catch the lead Corolla. On the final straight, the Ram got behind me and the Silvia and pushed us to around 145mph. We caught the Corvette who was in 2nd. I attempted to overtake, and he cut me straight off again. The Ram realized it wasn't my fault for causing the wreck earlier and punted the Corvette straight into the wall. The finishing results were as follows:
1st: Corolla Levin
2nd: Silvia K Dias Selection
3rd: BEAT Version Z (me)
4th: Ram 1500
5th: Impreza
6th: Corvette

But that was only the beginning. Suddenly the lobby tuned into an episode of Jerry Springer as the Corvette driver blew up at the Ram driver. Words were exchanged, and eventually the host had enough and left, causing the lobby to close down (fixed host status). I happily drove on home with my bronze trophy.
 
It seems like people online always like to take a good look at my cars, I guess that means I must be doing something right.
 
Good guy Ram driver. :D

But the Corolla Levin is apparently very, very at the 400PP range, so I'm sorry you didn't get to win. :(

Well, I'm in the most pleasant Nurburgring Free Run lobby ever apparently. Just one bad lamborghini driver to deal with and 2 people playing bad music through their mics (that I had to mute). Other than that, it's fine. A skyline TC driver complemented my Skyline 370GT Coupe and ran into a guy in a little VW Kubelwagon. I even decided to pull my beetle out.

It's cool, I congratulated the Levin driver on his efforts. I messaged the Ram driver afterwards saying "Hey man thanks for getting that *rhymes with whooshbag* in the 'Vette."

Did the Ram driver reply??? :excited:
 
today,i just raced in the worst shuffle race ever.when i came in,everybody was racing at rome and i have to wait until the race ended which is fine for me.then the host changed the track to laguna seca and the shuffle pp to 480.i had a viper(scary but good car) and everybody got a supercar or a 4 door and 2 door v8 cruisers.the race started and everything went fine with me and the isf driver (which was a really good driver) until we came to the corkscrew and got rear ended by a 25 anniversary countach.the penalties was on too.so,the countach driver and me was penalized.after the count down,i got rammed by a mercedes and after that another driver rear ended me into the sand.same story at the third corner.at the end of the race,i was in fifth.the room said clean shuffle race.i guess the person that made the room dont know what clean mean.
 
In a drift lobby (as usual).

Some moron is letting his 8 year old play... online. Never a good mix. Having a child that doesn't know what is going on and the potential of ruining someone else's fun.

But my god, this guy's grammar/spelling/punctuation/overall sentence structure was the WORST! I may not have the best of those either, but still! He's from England! Atleast know how to use your native language! I am a little sorry for the kid, having a moron of a father.

He also seems like he gets into online arguments a lot and puts on the Internet tough guy attitude.

That's simply sad :grumpy: I've experienced that quite often though - a visit of these is probably the worst thing that could happen to you, especially when a host is not present.

I've to admit that I managed to teach my 8-year-old brother how to cruise properly :D

Well, atleast you're doing something good by teaching him to properly drive.

I'm teaching my 12 year old brother proper racing ethics especially when it comes to lapping and side-by-side racing. He's getting it as we all had to learn it. In a few years, I think he will be GTPlanet worthy. :lol:

👍 Keep it up!
 
So was just in a Ferrari f1 lobby on spa every one was in there 2007 f1 I jump in my f10 and proceed to out qualify everyone by 1.6 seconds .
At this point the host says I must be cutting the chicane and says I must back out and run another lap with him watching so I do and post a time within a tenth of my previous time.
So now after watching my lap seeing I didn't cut the chicane he now shouts out I'm a hacker and says he will kick me unless I admit it
My reply look at the TT time sheets you see my name there in top 200 regularly i don't need to cheat mate if any ones cheating its the guy in a bright yellow Ferrari f1 GOODBYE
 
Ok I usually don't post in this forum because I usually don't have problems online, but today is different, here is my story. I was in a 24 minutes of le mans room which usually has some clean racing, after the race started the host was all over the track causing he was in first i was in second. When he would approach a corner he would break extremely early and violently causing me to hit the rear of his car. He told me to stop using his car to break and to learn o use my brakes. After that he continued to swerve all over the track, when i tried to make a pass he would hit me into the wall.When i got hit into the wall he said to stop ramming or he would kick me. After that I had enough and exited the room:grumpy:
 
I did a nurburgring 505pp race lobby last night and had 2 a lot of problems. Dealing with idiots trying to ram me off the road and there was one jerk in a camaro blocking me in one race at every pass or turn. I eventually got sick of him and decided to pit him. I don't like using dirty tactics, but I will if someone tries using them on me.

Also, in a 600pp nurburgring lobby, some knucklehead in a red Audi R8 kept following me whenever I drove around before the race and honked his horn at me. Just very annoying and I couldn't stay in that lobby because the game glitched up on me and I had to quit. What happened was that during the countdown to start the race, the counter frozed and whenever I paused; the menu didn't show up.

Interesting, I thought Le Mans endurance lobbies were safe... :(
 
I'm sure this happens to everyone once in a while.

I was lapping a guy and he decided to cut me off (clearly on purpose), so I swerved back to the other side to go around him. Then he cut back over to attempt a pit maneuver but I went by so fast the he completely misses and slams in the wall, spinning himself out. :rolleyes:
 
I hate racing on an alt. (Or, on my main. Heck, even racing online itself isn't productive...)

Joined a lobby last night after spamming my way to level 25 with the 2J - I'm attempting a speed-run for level 40 A-spec, so created a new PSN, set the birthdate and year to get me a 1970 Ticket, and spent some time resetting/deleting save/loading from USB to get the 2J.

It was LMP's at Indianapolis Motor Speedway (oval, not road course.) Only LMP I had at that point besides the '88 Jaguar XJR-9 was the BMW V12 LMR, and I pick the BMW.

I set the tune up so that I was able to go through the turns at top speed while still maintaining control and not understeering. I join, the host starts the 12-lap race.

Standing start... and I notice that 5 out of the 8 are in Minoltas. Great. (Others were in a standard XJR-9 and a red Audi R8 '01.) The Minoltas take off into the first turn, with me in eighth... and all 5 proceed to wreck in the first turn, taking out the XJR-9 but leaving me and the R8 unscathed.

We manage to build up a lead before the 6 of them come roaring back at around lap 8... and things got ugly. The first Minolta pit-manuevered the R8 into me, spinning the R8 and two Minoltas out. I dropped to 3rd, but passed both Minoltas on the outside on consecutive turns (and I think the reason for this was because they had full downforce - they were slightly out-cornering me, but I had better speed.)

The Jag comes steaming past all three of us, but gets taken out by the 2nd Minolta after he drafted off of me to catch and wreck the Jag - also collecting the R8 again, and another Minolta.

I'm home free, heading down the backstraight on lap 12 with a 15-second lead... and I notice the host has left the race. When I'm about to cross the line... he kicks me.

I drove clean and stayed out of trouble; my reward was a swift kick in the pants.
 
Last night, i was in a "clean shuffle" room. I knew the host and how most of these rooms are run. We were at Tokyo, 4 laps, i was in an s2000 and the leader was in an eclipse. I race him clean the whole race, waiting for an open pass, give him room, etc. The leader cuts me off through the big 180 degree right section after a wide entry on lap 2. I figure he just didn't see me, so i back off and let him jump in front again.

Lap 3, the fast downhill/uphill right left section before the highest point of the track, he over shoots the left. What appears to be an attempt to pull his car off the wall, he cuts across track and ends up 10 mph slower than everyone and jumps in front of me again. I lift so we don't wreck, the driver in 3rd also lifts to avoid trouble.

Last lap, last straight, i'm clearly way faster than him. I pull out to pass, he blocks once... fair enough. I jump out of line again, he blocks. This happens 3 more times before we get to the finish, one of the 3 almost causing me to wreck into the wall. He wins because i was too polite to not spin him.

I confront him after the race about blocking, he claims it was only 2 times on the last straight for the win. I mention the previous incidents. His reply, "so am i suppose to yield for you?"... i get a bit ticked by this comment. I tell him how because of him not "yielding" after clearly hitting the wall and slowing down, everyone behind had to yield for his *explicit*. He tells me to stop being so dramatic. I tell him i just didn't appreciate it. He apparently didn't take any of what i said to mind, he got put in the wall after doing the same to someone not as much of a push over as i and gets kicked after the race...

Long story short, that guy ate his words and got a taste of his own medicine.
 
Currently in a Nurburgring lobby. After running a 5:35 with my X2010 5G, I saw my time get smashed to 4:57. The car? A Charger 440 R/T with an X2010 chassis.
I thought "Time to call him out." and it begins.
Me: Who got the 4:57?
Him: me
Me: With which car?
Him: idk
Me: You don't know? Hmm strange.
Him: ?
Me: Quit trying to hide the fact that you're in a stupidly-hacked Charger with an X2010 chassis and what sounds like an R92CP engine.
Him: idk wat u mean.
Me: I don't mind hybrids, as I build them myself. However, building stupid hybrids like your Charger shows a lack of driving skill, and that you have to cheat to win.
Him: stfu
Me: There ya go. It sucks when you've been called out, huh?
Him: f u dumb USA man
Me: USA man? Are you five?
Him: bye *Leaves game*
 
I'm struggling as to why he denied it when he knew going faster than a 5G was going to attract attention.
