Joe, how is it possible that you have so many AWOL counts in your profile?

I was joining games, but then I got busy at school and forgot about BATracer and when I was back like 3-4 days later I was sacked from my teams.

Good race for me

Congratulations Reynaldo! The top three really raced away from the rest of us.

Bring on round two!

Hoping for another win

This is what will happen in next races as well because of the different typical performances of the cars. You can see that difference on the "car comparison" page..

..I don't think it's fair. We can still stop that thing and start a new challenge. What you all think??

Crashes could happen?

Post by **getzlaf15** » Thu Mar 05, 2009 11:11 pm

Yeah, halfway through my race, my grandma crashed into me... Oh wait, that was Gibson!

I'm all for fairness, upto what everyone else thinks though.

Yeah,Im up for fairness as well. So shall we restart and have the same performance for every car?

I think we should.

We could also start another series. Maybe the Indy 500? Only 5 days of play and everyone can win!! But we would need 12 players for that thing.

We hasn't more than 8 who's interested to join our season, so it's gonna be hard to get more.

I think I will suspend this game, untli we have made a decision about this.

This is because our last race once again showed that one team is much slower than the others.

Yes, I completely agree. I didn't realise there was such a gulf between the different cars - I just assumed each had different strengths and weaknesses. I had been wondering why myself and my bro had been getting such an ass-kicking!

By the way, don't forget that there is a "Batracer" section in your TBL User Profile wher you can add your BatRacer team name. I'm having difficulty figuring out who is who.

The game is now marked for deletion, as I think it's the best thing to do, as the game was very unfair as it was. So I hope that I will soon be able to put up a new game, if nobody else get ahead of me and start a new one.

I was wondering what happened to the game...

Oh well, hopefully we will start a new series asap, seems like great fun!

Post by **joehelmer** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 11:32 am

I don't know how long it will take to get a new game up, but I hope it will to the evening or maybe tomorrow.

And as I suggested in the Driver Chat in the game, join a public game to get a hang of Batracer, it's a good thing to try the different carsets as well.

Now that we are all BTCC professionals why don't we try out the MR2 World Series. There is no performance gap in this series. Only the setup feedback is not so good thus everyone not having a perfect setup. Everything can happen!!

Post by **archibalduk** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 2:43 pm

We only played two races in BTCC so I'd still love to complete a BTCC season.

Joe - is it possible you could setup the game so that the deadlines were the same as last time (i.e. the end of practice, qualifying, etc was about 10pm or 11pm GMT)? It was good for me because I normally work during the day and then take a look at BatRacer in the evening. How did everyone else find the deadlines?

It was bit late for me, maybe if it was hour earlier or something...

Post by **joehelmer** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 2:57 pm

Yeah, I can, it all depends on when I click the "Start the game"-button.

I think it was good, because then we had the whole day to do our practice and warmup runs, but like Timura said, one hour earlier shouldn't be problem, or would it?

I'm also in for BTCC, because I think it's one of the best carsets. But we could do MR2 at a later season, but I hope we get enough people to do a F1 season again.

I'm all for eveness, although i got my first podium last race which i was happy with! Are we sticking with the same teams and everything? As for the deadlines, i'm happy to do it whenever is best for everyone else...

Post by **archibalduk** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 5:36 pm

I'm happy to have an hour or so earlier deadlines. So long as I have until about 9pm or 10pm UK time to make the changes.

Post by **joehelmer** » Sat Mar 07, 2009 5:38 pm

Okay, I will have that in mind when we're ready to start the game.
