thought id mix up the race lengths just to see what happens. alteration in style. maybe more consistency or go off the boil completely

[greenymac]

Nutcase I'mma be completely honest with you. I have NO interest in doing a 15 lap race or anything over 7 for that matter.

[XR_GTR]

Honestly, more than 7 laps is way too much for one-on-one races. I can see that being cool if you're running a 2v2v2v2, but...

[Challenger #001]

Adjudication? Sorry GM and XR, you're overruled. There's no stopping anyone doing long races for their choices - 20-lap races are a staple of Avalon, and I think Luxoflux specialised in them - he won the Avalon Cup after all.

Given that you set the challenge and nutcase accepted it, the only way you can back out is to accept a 0/7 loss. I say just go for it, and work on your endurance skills.

[Frailavi]

I found my 8 lap weps off race on Sol2 rev against DP the most fun of all. Endurance races are probably my favorite to be honest.

[greenymac]

Me and Nutcase can agree to come to lower laps or I just wont do it... Its not fun IMO and this is all about fun. So, if Nutcase wants to do races that long he can just HAVE the win because I care 0%. I dont do this for ranking, I do this for fun. And, if it's not fun then theres no reason behind it. And a 15 lap race and a 17 lap race is not fun for me. So whatever, theres no judge and jury here.

[zero3growlithe]

Sometimes it's fun to race for example 20 laps It's stressful, but fun. Once i had about 4-5, maybe 6 "20 lap" races in row... me and Tiduch, and i was really happy while playing those races

[Nutcase:259]

Me and Nutcase can agree to come to lower laps or I just wont do it... Its not fun IMO and this is all about fun. So, if Nutcase wants to do races that long he can just HAVE the win because I care 0%.

Well i was considering lowering but because of this attitude im not racing. "We can agree" what you mean is "My way or the highway" :-

its not entirely all about what you want. Thats the whole reason you pick 3 & I pick 3, what happens if i enjoy 'endurance' racing ? Its ment to be a challenge? :-

[greenymac]

Well, I dont find it fun, and if its not fun then its not worth my time. If you wanna win that way fine. Or you can just call those 3 tracks wins for you. and we'll only race mine and standard. Im not doing a freaking 15 lap 1v1 race. Boring. BTW sorry, if it offends you, but I dont find a 15 lap race fun or enjoyable, its not about a challenge its about fun. And this, to me, is not fun.

[Tiduch]

Nutcase, I don't see anything wrong in your chooses

I will write to you on PSN about term to play.

[Raagentreg]

I Challenge Colonel Gaddafi to an event!

I will fly the Triakis Fury

My Tracks Will be:

Rapier Single Race - Chenghou Project Fwd - Weps On
Zone Battle - Sebenco Climb Fwd - Target 30
Rapier Single Race - Vineta K Fwd - Weps On

It's about time we had the race, no?

[Colonel]

Sure thing Raagentreg, I'll repeat my choices for ease of reference:

Single Race @ Tech De Ra Reverse, Rapier, Weps and BRs ON.
Zone Battle @ Anulpha Pass, 50 limit
Eliminator @ Modesto Heights Reverse, Rapier, 200 limit.

My ship:Fury Harimau.

I won't be online tomorrow night but I have the house to myself from Thursday to Saturday, so any time after about 6pm GMT, Thursday or Friday evening, or any time on Saturday til about 7pm.

Let's roll

[Raagentreg]

Thursday is excellent with me, as apprentice is tonight and I'm not missing that!

Say Thursday at 7:00 English time? I think that's GMT+1 at the moment, but I can do that time and onwards for sure.

Quick warning, my internet's been on the blink lately, it's quite odd really, but it half cuts out for a second or two, ruining anything I'm doing :/ but it should be alright for a few races...

[Colonel]

OK that's cool, 7pm BST - British Summer Time (It's 9.03am here now). I'll host the races if you're having connection problems.

Oh and I've changed one of my track selections by the way, from MH rev to MH fwd. Don't know what I was thinking, MH rev is a nightmare for Eliminator

[Raagentreg]

Cool, race you tomorrow then!

[Colonel]

Raagentreg, I just noticed that the new standard race is the same as one of my choices, so I've swapped to TDR Reverse for my Rapier Single Race. I've edited my posts. See you in a couple of hours

[Raagentreg]

I will be online until then - internet providing, so I'll practice until then!
