I enjoyed this.  Earlier in the day I received a message from Mopar over at the 4-letter on my Racebook account.  They were running shuffles all day.  Started off the day with them, then noticed Chuck was doing the same thing so I graced him with my presence on and off all day.  Left to have a beer and came back with glassy eyes to find guys were still out racing. 

Fun event and I enjoyed the 'bend over, grab your ankles and grit your teeth' level of penalties...just wish PD was more consistent in their enforcement of them.  Some corners you could drive as far off the track as you wanted, others you couldn't even put a thread outside the lines.  I particularly enjoy getting bumped off track and incurring a 10-second penalty.  Probably should avoid this level during an IRR event.

Goos times.

I do apologize for the heavy penalties and heavy damage.

Being an OPEN Room, and not knowing who might show up, I wanted to hedge the bet against jerks and noobs...   It helped cycle riff-raff in and out real quick.  But I did almost get to bounce one guy; unfortunately he left right as I was right-clicking his dumbass.

But, other than the inconsistent implementation of the penalty system on PD's part, it was a rather enjoyable day of racing.  :hhjj

I enjoyed it.  I didn't find the walls terribly toxic at HSR as some other guys did, but I made up for it at Fuji where I simply didn't understand where penalties were given and where you could get away with murder.  Would like to see more of this.

Yeah that race at Circque De Sloth was a lot of fun, Ronin!  Generally it was a pretty awesome Sunday afternoon of racing, I had a blast :)

Thanks Charlie!

It's definitely goos times, but I think Charlie is stacking the deck somehow.  Last night during a stretch of quite a few races, Charlie would finish well, then proceed to get 'stuck' in a rocket during the next race.  One time I actually drove off the road because I was watching Chuck chase me down like I was standing still, thinking to myself, "are you shitting me, he's in another go-to car" and I entered the spoon at Suzuka a bit distracted. 

Also, the ghosting thing is confusing me.  First, I saw someone who spun in the middle of the track last night, I swerved to miss him not realizing he was a ghost, and then I drove myself off the damned track.  And second, from time to time we need to remove the ghost thing because every once in a while I need to perform some community service and put some joker into the wall.

I can teach y'all how to stack the deck before a shuffle.  I thought someone would've noticed the week before last when I kept getting beasts on Sport Softs while y'all were on Comforts...

"Ghosting" is a feature of Heavy Damage.  If I kill that option I will have to kick more folks I imagine.  It and heavy damage make folks bounce themselves out more often than not.


@Ronin "z" wasn't that bad if he'd keep his munchkin mouth shut.  Did pretty good for a young kid on a controller...  But his voice was very annoying.  He invited a friend who I kicked almost immediately...
