I'm confused on the lap 10/half points thing, were really just using the standard "behind the highest finishing human" rule, and only giving half points, right?
Maybe in the future we would throw the white flag next time by, or maybe the checkers, I might start setting up my car to when I think the server will crash

I see it BP-1st, BW-2nd, then whatever is figured on EZ and BZ, 3rd & 4th

what if we had a sprint race on an off day between the four of us hehe

Here is the situation I've been mulling over.

 The 'unable to complete' rule was written to deal with an individual having an issue. The result of applying it is currently visible on the unofficial standings table.

The Abu Dhabi precedent was to cope with the server having a single issue that affected multiple drivers. That is the scenario where half points would be awarded based on running order at the time of the server side incident.

Although this seems to have either been a server incident or perhaps an individual incident that disrupted the server, as far as I can tell I was the only one to actually experience a disconnect ... I haven't seen any indication from EZ that he asked around prior to disconnecting, so it's a tough call from a few points of view, but I think my vote will remain to apply the 'unable to complete' rule and move on.

Hopefully EZ would be ok with that, it does afford him more total points than the AbDab method, which might actually help him in the long term.

Just saw bret's other remark about cars vanishing in every race ... That alarms me greatly, that has not at all been my experience.

Is this happening frequently for everyone?? If so for how long? Just this season? Forever? We are running the server/s off of a different physical host machine in gp8 ... If it seems like it could help I can revert to the original machine that was used in previous seasons...

I actually was asking around, but I had not known at the time but my mic button was not working. During practice my wheel reset itself for some reason so I had to restart the game as well. I totally forgot to redo the input for mic to my wheel so basically I was talking to myself for the whole latter half of the evening lol....wooops

I'm totally fine with the 'unable to compete' rule. As long as I get some sort of darwin award

[rip|buzinator]

lmao ... still more levels of suckage, where will it end? It's like, fractal or something.


Anyway - Let's get a ruling done so we can move on:

Chitty, I hereby invoke the 'unable to complete' rule, it is to be applied to myself and Ez when you do the race & championship analysis.

That done, I reiterate my congrats to BP ... especially since learning he did a two stopper. DAMN dude.

Respect to Bret, a titanic battle was interrupted by my BSOD. Looking forward to our next one.

Also impressed with Ez, beat me off the line ... and after the lap 1 issue he made it up to 2nd place before abandoning ... if anyone had anything for BP it was him.

Can't wait for the next race.
