    Default rage-quit

    YOu know those pansies who start doing crappy in a race/tourney and then just leave the game instead of sticking it through to the end?

    I did that today. My first time. but jesus F****** christ I couldn't help it. Mines, mines, bomb, slam into the wall with 3% shield and explode. Happened like three times, all on tracks I was good at, too. I felt like a tool, and a part of me died inside... but I couldn't help it; it was that or be continually slapped in the face by my TV and PS3. Apologies to Chaos80, soccermums, and whoever else was on at the time... not like anyone necessarily cares, but still, I don't like being one of Those People.

    anyone else dropped out of a race after being continually raped?

    No, you finished what you start regardless how the race is going.

    Chaos80 and his Assagai are well known for "Ramming the crap out of you".
    You are not by your self in this regard.

    Best policy I have found,is to let him run then KILL,far easier.

    I do that. I usually message the zone pilots about it though.

    Case in point: I was eliminated by a noob with PA on who just crashed on my side and grinded my shields from 30 down to 3, and then well I died obviously because he then pushed me against the wall. Anulpha Pass Forward man.

    PS3 was turned off the second after.

    It doesn't happen often, it takes a great deal to make me RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGEEEEEEEEEEE, but when it happens I just switch it off.

    Hi All.

    ...for this feelings I prefer a lot single race......the next one.....maybe better....

    but when i'm in a tourney and find some prob with other ramming pilots.......I don't shutdown ever......sometimes I've some disconnections.....but I ever advice my mates by msg.

    Rage only....lonely...in my room I say very loud......'bastard!!!!!'

    Do someone remember the first convention?

    .....but rage away and remember......Wipeout phylosophy.....

    Let's Be Friends!!!

    You did quit in mid tournament a few weeks ago in the room Greenix was hosting, remember? First track was VinetaK, and i killed you with the leech beam? You pulled out a few tracks later in Sebenco climb.

    I did pull out of a tourny with Andybob a few days back cause i was cleary getting pissed of the weapon non response. Last lap on Metropia, i said **** it. Then went on GTA4 straight after for some anger management. ****ing foul night to sleep, sticky, humid, and this new AC for some reason fells like its lost its gas. Gonna need to take it back. Christ, is everything built these days inferior and **** from previous years models?

    Yes .
    Everything new is inferior.
    The attitude of most new racers are sadly NOT in the "LET's BE FRIENDS" mode

    It's Kill Kill Kill,you MotherF-cker,Cheat,sh1t,Arseh0le...etc.

    That's getting messages from those that have some sort of actual diction happening.

    i must admit i did it a few times back when i started playing HD; i forgot that lag could be a factor and thought that everyone had some sort of vendetta against me.
    not done it since i realised that mr.lag is the person i should really hate.
    sometimes i get angry at people using PA and say "so you want to take advantage of my poor little icarus/ag sys? welcome to my world of pain, i nicknamed it triakis"

    I never quit! - (and I´ve had my arse beaten severely several times).
    Unless:
    1. The host changes speed-class milli-seconds before starting the race.
    2. Disconnections from the internet (has happened less than 5 times during the period I´ve been playing WO HD).
    3. I have to wait more than 52 minutes for the "Waiting for"-screen to dissapear.
    4. My house is striked by lighting and the electricity goes bang-bang (has never happened!).
    I simply don´t get why some would quit during a race because of journeys to hell or other racers - who also wants to win the race - are ramming them. Quit afterwards if it´s getting on your nerves. I´ll suggest doing Time Trial or Speed Laps instead.
    Me myself, I would certainly do anything possible to cross the finish-line as no. 1. By wanting to do everything to win myself, I accept everything being done to me to make me the looser.

    I have never rage-quitted, although I have been near a couple of times when you get mines, mines, bombs, missile, ka-booom!

    WHAT?? Is that really my reputation??
    A bit unfair, if I do say so myslef, since I am being rammed just as badly as the next guy. I don't go out of my way to ram somebody, but when a ship is close and you feel you're being pushed to the walls or off the track, then of course I do what I can to avoid that, like everyone else. And with many players in the same small area, I guess it is unavoidable...

    I think it's a bit much to expect everyone to go the distance when it just isn't going for them. You know how it is - every so often you go the whole first half of a tournament with the most rotten luck etc and it can't help but get to you. This is online gaming and I for one wholeheartedly reserve my right to bail out if I get sick of what's happening or who I'm racing against.
