Thread: Rare But annoying!

    Default Rare But annoying!

    A little rant! Don't you just hate it when your having a flying race and you lap some one then they decide to shoot you!! So annoying, on a par with the fantastic race your doing and your looking at a new PB time or better and you hit mine's or a bomb from the lap before!

    i completely agree. you've picked up 6 turbos, perfect lines, all the BRs, you're about to beast your record, you lap someone, 'missile'. are you joking?!?! or alternatively 'quake', thats nearly as bad. i was having a brilliant race and still got a really good time but i couldn't help thinking what might have been...

    Someone just tried to do that to me but didn't do him any good. Frustrating when it happens but c'est la vie I suppose....

    I had a plasma as well and lapped someone. I absorbed it of course, I wanted to give the guy a chance (Resulting in me having 100% of energy). Needless to say, I was quaked twice and missiled once.

    I'm never doing that again.

    Haha I know that feeling all too well...I think I need to take a 'have no mercy' stance. If your'e being lapped, you should move down a speed class until you've got the tracks down. That is my new reason for firing at last place

    I was playing a couple of french guys the other week, and after beating them the first two tournies I swear they hatched a plan where one raced and the other deliberately flew slowly and waited ahead of me with mines and bombs.

    I've never had the dubiuos pleasure of being lapped, BUT... If I ever am lapped you can be sure I'll use every weapon available to put me back on the same lap as the leader

    Lol mic, you'd have to be really bad to be lapped!

    It is SO frustrating when that happens!
    Especially if the 2nd racer is right behind you and wins the race because of a stupid weapon that doesn't belong to that lap...

    Yeah. When I lap people I always make sure I got a Boost or a Shield (Pref) to Make sure I get gain distance on something or Shield the quake or not.
