You should have just kicked them, don't wait for the reject vote because the whole room will gang up on you.
Worst you've dealt with online...

Not worst but what happened lately:
Ok, who is to blame?
I was driving on Route X (free run no race) in my GT-One chasing the room owners Veyron. Started to catch up on him at the end of the straight doing a bit over 500 km/h he pulls out in front of me and I backed of (turning at that speed with the GT-One is next to impossible).
On the next lap he does the same thing and I decide to bump into him "marking my territory". He almost lost control of his car but it was no biggie. Feeling bad about this I released the throttle and put my car high up on the banked turn to let him pass
And then he hit me from behind at full speed and after that he wrote something like GT1 S H I T. I know for sure that he did it intentionally becuse chasing after him for the first few turns I noticed that he was driving in the middel of the banked turn.
I replied you cut me of twice on the straight
And then he kicked me out...

I'd say you're both to blame for that one, he was a bad sport for deliberate blocking on the straight but that doesn't excuse ramming in order to "mark your territory". You both fought over the same bone but he was going to win the scrap in the end though, being the host and all.

You are probably right. But in my defense I barley touched him (but he almost spun out because of the high speed) and the payback was ramming me from behind at full speed.
But as you say he was the host it's his rules.

On the other hand, someone who treats host status as diplomatic immunity is a rather undesireably host, don't you think?

I agree too many hosts treat their host status as "I win everything forever".

Its been my experience that a good host shouldn't have to babysit. I host nightly without a complaint because i can be fair and ruthless. I don't have time for dickery, and neither do my guests.
I also know how to lose, which helps.

Just been booted out of clean shuffle race, all aids off after waiting for 12 minutes to race, only half a lap into Rome reverse. Started near the back and made my way cleanly to the front with no contact, no divebombing, just pure genuine squeeky clean racing by waiting for people to make their mistakes and driving around them, before the host backed out and booted me.
I asked what I did wrong and just got a "CU". After asking for an explanation and that it's hard enough to find clean rooms with aids banned in the low PP/shuffle range, received another "CU". I messaged back, asking him not to ruin what is left of the online portion of the game by kicking people who want to race clean and fairly by kicking them with absolutely zero reason for doing so, only to receive "Bye".
Pathetic and totally childish. Be careful to look out for other idiots like this, especially if it's a guy with a British flag, and "Mad", "Mucka" and a couple of numbers and letters as his PSN ID. Trying not to break the AUP by stating his ID specifically, but enough so people know who to watch for.
The online community could do without jerks like this guy, who boot people that want to race genuinely and then act like 6 year olds.

For a little laugh, but on a serious note, I've noticed this as an increasing occurrence wilst racing online. The timer would start giving players 30-40 seconds to jump off and return in their best cars.
Strangely enough, I won that race in my Speed 12.

Had the same experience last night... waited an eternity for the race to get started, entire race was clean. Host went from 1st to 6th in a few corners and so he proceeded to ram his way back to the front and then throw a hissy fit and accuse others of dirty driving. Just pathetic really, don't understand what they get out of it.

I was once gaming buddies with someone who put RS tyres on EVERYTHING. One day they kept going on and on about they had a stock vehicle and RH tyres. So this person claimed their driving was terrible because of the car. No.. You just can't drive. The rebuttal was "So you're calling me a sh***y driver because my car has no tune?"
"No I'm calling you a sh**y driver because you can't drive a car without racing tyres or without a tune."
They went on to claim that RH was worse than SS. I completely disagreed. "You'd be surprised." was the response. "Oh really now? Then explain why RH is above SS in tyre selection?"
Mind you the whole lobby was in agreeance with me. To burst a bubble in that theory a race was started. In racing cars are usually close. So when I was driving less than one car length behind, the inevitable happened; cracked under pressure. Spun off track and blamed it one me. Yet no physical contact was made.
I was then kicked for whatever reason. I know it sounds petty, but that really got my blood boiling. Our gaming friendship was already going downhill. That put the icing on the cake.
They are now going around giving me a bad name because they can't drive. Ha.
Off topic: I tend to see that a lot. Drivers wipe when under pressure. When someone gets good and close I slow my pace and let them pass. Just like your Bob's, when you get real hot you make mistakes. I pick up my pace and 90% of the time they wipe because they have no idea what to do.
All day. This is irritating.

Got a bit of a bad one on a Nurburgrjng clean shuffle lobby with only ABS on, boost low and damage high. I'm at the back of a pack of 5 or 6 cars on the long straight and get in the slipstream of the others. I make my way past everyone apart from 1st place. I move to the right to overtake him as we are going round the 1st little turn at the top of the straight. We are level at this point and he decides to push me wide and give me a nudge to spin me for good measure.
This was the only bad spot on the lobby with people apologising after the race cos no one was using a mic.

I was recently kicked because of the fact that i was driving a car that was slower at the Nurburgring than the whole field and still won by about a minute. I can drive at the ring. because i've practiced so much and i drive it so frequently i can use almost any car. people were using Astons and lamborghini's and almost anyother supercar under the sun while i was in my Blitz car that had about 630 hp. i start in the middle and i'm playing against a bunch of 7 year olds. in the first corner i over take 5 of them with no contact. the Borg in front of me stood no chance of staying in the lead as i overtake the guy with out touching him. they start to get a little upset and quite because the cars they were using weren't up to the task of handling the ring.
the host calls me an 🤬 tard and kicks me. i think that when 7 year olds don't get their way because the cars they're driving SUCK, they look for scapgoats.

Was having quite a good race at Spa earlier. I was in a 2J at 600pp and my rival was in a 640pp R8 LMS. I was winning and he didn't like it. Eventually he rammed me into the gravel and powered off. Was really annoyed as it was a good race up until that!

I was kicked from a cruise room last night for just driving around. I'm still trying to get a feel for my new wheel so i don't want to go to a race room and screw every one up. I guess i shouldn't try to learn by "just driving around".

Oh had a "think they know it all because they tested it" kinda night tonight. 18 laps @ GVE and everyone was in a Tuscan Speed 6 RM. Me and and about 4 others in a room of 13 went for racing mediums whilst everyone else went for Racing Softs with 1 other on the hards. After the 18 lap race, My mate on Racing mediums won with a Softs less than a second behind and me and another guy on Medi's bring in 3rd and 4th. All the racing softs guys pitted on lap 9 (except 1 who went a lap later), after the race it was asked why they pitted when a few were saying they could get 20+ laps out of the softs, this one guy replied with "Because its faster, I tested it" with which most the Room replied with "well obviously not, because you didnt win so something went wrong".
This went on for 20 minutes that he was right because he tested it and there was no 2 ways about it, he even told us to test it ourselves with which we just replied with a simple "proof is in the pudding, you didnt win so you cant be so certain you're right", he didnt even accept the fact that pit stop times vary, starting positions played a part, battles with other people chewed more tyre than he was expecting also resulting in slower laptimes, in his view, he was right and thats the end of it.
Thats the sort of thing that ticks me off. People that persist that they were right all along but cant accept the fact that there is a difference between testing by yourself, and fighting your way through a 13 car field and that on paper, yes, they may be right, but on the track, its completely different.. Actually, I have that just about every night when Im in the same room as this guy.. Always thinks he knows it all but the minute he's proved wrong, he kicks and screams that he he tested it so it must be right...

Today. Nurburgring Nordschlife. 505PP in a room of mostly muscle cars but there was a NSX and and Opera 350Z and me in my 07 WRX STI. I start in P1. I'm passed going thru Hatzenbach by a Camaro. The Opera 350Z and a 08 Challenger are on my butt for the rest of the race. I'm driving hard. So are they. They couldn't pass me though. I was making sure not to leave the door open for them to make any late braking passes and driving a good line around the track. The 350Z finally gets by me as we get on to Dottinger Hohe and that pass took while. I slide in right behind them and close the very small gap. I finished in 3rd place, a few tenths behind the 350Z. We were both 3 seconds behind the winner.
Pretty evenly matched race right?
Well... Not if you talk to the folks driving the winning car and the 2 cars that were behind me the whole race. The winner is the first one to chime in. Says I "need to moooove"... I thought the pass through Hatzenbach was what they were referring to. I said you have to be patient through there, as the racing line is very narrow. They reply with " no, not me, you're holding up other cars"...
Say what??? Those other cars couldn't pass me. Didn't have the power to do so. In the twistier sections of the track, I pulled away from them. The only car that was obviously faster then me was the Camaro that won the race.
As for the bozos in the 350Z and the Challenger, they were on their mics calling me every name in the urban dictionary because I was "slow" and I was driving a "POS". Then they were saying they were gonna wreck me in the next race. I don't race the next race and exit the room. They call me more names...
I'm always trying to be the cleanest racer on the track and I race very fair. If someone is obviously faster then me, I move over. If its obvious that someone has a very evenly matched car, as was the 350Z and the Challenger, I'm going to RACE them hard. I'm not gonna just move over, like what the winner was suggesting I should've done because I was "holding up other cars". Anyway... They were in front of all of it. How'd they even know what was going on in the battle for second place unless the idiots in the 350Z and the Challenger were yapping about how they couldn't pass me (even with their attempts to pass me through the grass.... Damn I HATE that)... I don't know what they were saying. I turn down chat once the race starts.
I saved the replay. I watched it several times from the 350Z and the Challengers point of view. There wasn't a single time between the start of the race and Dottinger Hohe straight that they weren't flat out, yet couldn't pass me. The 350Z was behind me for most of the lap and was pounding my bumper for most of the race. Maybe trying to push me offline but it didn't work. The Challenger got behind me at Kesselchen and blatantly tried to wreck me going through Klosteral but they went transparent because they cut through the grass in attempt to wreck me. Challenger finally had a bad off at Schwalbenschwanz (mini carrousel). The 350Z got past me on Dottinger Hohe because of the slipstream.
And... The more I watch the replay, I realize that the 350Z and the Challenger were using DS3's and automatic gearboxes. I honestly think its easier to "point and squirt" your car with a DS3, like these two were doing. It's also easier to recover from bad spins and offs with a DS3.
Now, I'm not saying anything bad about DS3 users, but being called slow by drivers who are "pointing and squirting" (while I'm sawing away on a wheel, shifting gears, braking and throttling) annoys me. Using a wheel isn't a chore for me, I love it, but I remember how it is to use a DS3 with an auto gearbox. It actually takes a lot of skill OUT of driving a car in this game and makes it so all you have to do is have a somewhat straight line coming into or out of a turn and then just blast the gas or the hit the brakes. it's easy to be sloppy but "fast".
It just makes me mad because a lot of people (certainly not all) that play online in the open lobby are just ignorant to racing and, more important, fairness and competitiveness. The winner suggesting I should've moved over? C'mon! The two idiots mad and calling me names because I raced them hard? C'mon!
I need to part ways with the online racing portion of GT5. I have more bad experiences then good ones.
