Every hour is too often. If the system would host races, people who won't to race wouldn't have to do it for their own money, the money will not move. Make it every 2 or 3 hours and with small prizes.

I can't believe this!!! One of the things that I have been suggesting most times, now has its own thread opened by someone else!! At last!! you can guess what I have voted. ;)

I like the idea, but i don't totally agree.
The amount of time should be way less,around 8 every 3 hours (8 races a day.)
It would give players more space & time to create their own races before this Script race has already started.

But man, almost nobody hosts races nowadays...

Actually Roach and Miczi have a point. I agree that it shouldn't be every hour, but then again it's not a big deal what time it ends up being between races. It'll end up changing to what it should be :)

Every 2 hours would be nice, or even every 3ish hours so it would be a week ingame.
But on the other hand, having it 3 hours could be long for the people who love to race, think about it. People who love the tank have to wait around 3 hours, nobody lingers around the server for 3 hours solely to do a race. Perhaps 1hour is to short, but 2-3 hours is too long.

I can't believe this!!! One of the things that I have been suggesting most times, now has its own thread opened by someone else!! At last!! you can guess what I have voted. ;)
I suggested a bunch of things that either occurred to me or somebody said somewhere in a suggestion topic. What normally happens is people don't keep suggestions topics simple, either they suggest more than one thing, or people post and suggest different things and the topic becomes confusing. Think that the devs already invest their time in scripting things for the server, we have to keep it simple by keeping our ideas simple.

I thought about it and understand what you mean AJP.
Maybe they should write this script so that it will be turned off at PEEK hours, when there are many players online.

i agree

dk if someone already said this but i thought it would be good if the server would start a race often, somethin like every 20-30 mins.. with no cash to win, just for fun..and meanwhile people could again host races like now with prizes

what u think?

That with so many Rustlers and race blockers, no one would run in those autohosted races "just for fun" if there were no money prizes. In fact, even in normal races with prizes, many times no one joins, so imagine with no prizes...

Having the script force races every hour. If races are hosted manually by players, than the script waits another hour after the race ends before hosting the new race.
The prizes would depend on the players online:
If 5 or less players online, no races hosted.
If 10 players online, 100k 1st place, 50k 2nd, 25k 3rd.
If 20 players online, 200k 1st place, 100k 2nd, 50k 3rd
[...]
If 100 players online, 1million 1st place, 500k 2nd, 250k 3rd.

Races would be the following:
- All around San Andreas 1 lap
- Julius Thruway 3 laps
- All around Area 69 3 laps
- All around LV airport 3 laps

this was scotts idea.

"Warning: this topic has not been posted in for at least 120 days."

cool!

barely ANY races are hosted nowadays. we NEED this!

really.. i havent seen 1 race in like 1 month which wasnt hosted by admins.

I want to say something more but I stop here because you can´t argue very well.
And read carefully. I said "was playing".

You don´t need to play 24/7. At afternoon at german time there are some races but you are right, hardly races are hosted by players.

Btw, stay on topic.
