As were on the 'Flame at people who abuse the track voting system' discussion, im adding my 2 cents. ...I find it so annoying when people type /track ID, and hold it until the last second before the track changes... then hit enter when someone has already voted for a track and is waiting patiently for the track to change. Then as they voted last, it plays their track first... doesnt make sense to me
And i like Swats idea... but i wouldnt like to be the moderator/admin who's on in the evenings when there's 25 people all shouting at you, demanding over 20 different tracks... |

Yeh we have repeated the same tracks alot when I go on, but the power of voting is there to change that. If you're doing the same old tracks then vote for something different
As for getting rid of the voting system, I don't see why thats such a bad idea. What annoys me is when either A. a noob votes for loads of random tracks without really knowing what he/she is doing and B. When someone keeps voting for the same 2 or 3 tracks whenever they're on and C. When someone 'hogs' the voting every track.
The last minute voting is annoying too, but I'd have to be honest and say I only do that when belial votes for flinger |

you should try being Admin when big headed biatches moan and whine and pwn the field.
Honestly, I would have thought that with such consummate skill would come a smidgeon of humility and tolerance for the spectrum of variety on the server, Steve. _________________

Doesnt matter if im an admin or not, but if some big headed biatch came on the server, and started moaning and whining and pwning everyone, i would just try a little harder, go a little faster and beat them... then they would shut up as they would have to focus on beating me, instead of the picking holes in the tracks. |

Being an admin on a server is a pain in the jacksy. If everyone knows you're an admin you hardly get to play the game for people moaning about changing this or restarting that or kicking the noob _________________

I'm in a mood to kick/ban anyone slagging our server and chosen pastime in public chat, take a warning.
If the game no longer presents a challenge just move on and parasitise some other community, don't try to knock down the house on your way out. _________________

that aint going to work. What will work is if i ban your snivelling whineyass the next time you talk the server down in public chat. You can do that here: the appropriate place.
Your position as the best player on the server gives you an authority that players who don't know you will buy (I don't). If the guy who is Dominating is also disdainful and dismissive of the server and the game then it can only hurt the rest of us who still love iit. See, Stupid?
anything ther you don't understand ste-unit? just Google 'finger', sit on it and spin. _________________

how about this - peeps who donate to mad laps at a rate of, say, £2.50 a month, gain the right to change tracks?
and...maybe an entrance message
"prepare to be drop-kicked up the arse race after race by (insert name here)"

BUMP
I still want this idea to be actioned. Classics has been dead now for a few weeks, theres 300+ tracks on there that are all quality and a extremely enjoyable to race on. I don't see why these should go to waste, please put a good 10-20 of them on the Forever server, as it will mix up the tracks a bit between new and old and a full server of 25 racing on a track like the original GP6 or Big Red would be brilliant.
Pleeease. |
