Race ruiners
« on: July 08, 2008, 10:48:24 PM »
I were doing my second lap on a race when (Nx)Drivon, PubertUK, Neonkiller decided to put a stop to racers by blocking the road with firetrucks, watertanks and busses, etc.

The idea seems really awsome and I'd admit that I'd try it out if it was allowed to block racers this way, of course I will be doing it to those people and nobody else.  :P

Yes we did do that. At the moment this kind of activity is in a grey area of not being allowed/allowed. An admin will let us know.
Although we did get the idea from watching Popz and LnX. The server owners :D

People spend their hard earned cash setting up a race, then a admin has to wait 13 mins to make sure no one fucks it up, it starts, blocks are gonna be there no matter what, either pre-setup ones or ones due to sync problems. Actually targetting people and slamming into them whilst driving the wrong way is wrong... 4 races in a row last night someone done this to me, in one race it was done by one player twice, aimed directly for me.... slamming into me and fucking it up completely. Which after a while gets fucking annoying and kills the fun completely. Sorry if you disagree but in the end whats the difference between ramming at the start and ramming during the race...... Now you get the odd clipping during a race, that cant be avoided, but full on full speed head on crash which takes you out of the race completely.... Whats the difference between that and someone smashing into you at the start?

Only the racestarts are protected!
After the racestart everythink can happen. For Example a tank blocking the road and killing all racers.
Yes it might be unfair, but u r pretty free in the races u can do routes that are not that popular.
You can shoot in races. U can organize some to destroy the other racers so you could win.
You can driveby the guy who kicked you out of race over and over.

Race ruiners get only punished if the ruin the race in the start.

(if you die u can still take part in the race, come back...)

Its a hard race, i know. Be lucky u r protected in the start. After the start be verry careful. Planes, tanks, roadblocks, ppl shooting...

It just annoys me that these same people who do this because it annoys people are the same people who would actually scream at the admin for not stopping it happening to them. Im so bored of kicking / banning constant race ruiners then having people who bitch about them ruining the race for others.

Well we do allow shooting during a race so is this that different?
The blocks aren't particularly target at specific racers and IMO just serve to mix up the race a little.
So you can't go the way you'd normally go, you have to improvise to get past, think of it like Mario Kart :p.
Especially when the blockers are hosting the race.

Driven, Pubert, and the other guy weren't hosting a race.
And they blocked the whole area, there was no way out believe me.

LOL now your just making shit up, i used a Bus and Driven had a fire truck, we blocked the road but there was still tons of room to avoid us, TONS of room. We only managed to block like 3-5cars out of 15+racers.
But then again your complaining is not a surprise, considering you cry and flame in PM's every time you die

But you know, i still think it should not be allowed unless the race host is doing it.

Now if people start jamming up the race checkpoints with buses and firetrucks, then we have a BIG problem.

I'm not making anything up, I'm sure the whole road was blocked, I have great memory and I remember it perfectly.

There is two ways on the road, each side, one is on the left and one is on the right. Theoretically you could block a road with a firetruck and a bus if you do the two of them on one side. I were on the right side, while you were on the left, driven and neonkiller was on the right side. Both of them blocked the whole right side.

I fell off the bike, drove a bit and then I decided to db driven's truck, I went towards driven and aimed for the truck and she started moving it and then decided to chase me on foot, after failing to chase me the truck/bus started to colliding when people forced themself into the way, eventually people came through but not until a few people fell off.

And this was a few minutes after the colliding of those vehicle's.

But then again your complaining is not a surprise, considering you cry and flame in PM's every time you die

I swear that I don't, but sometimes I get flamed for killing others.  ;D The word noob is very commonly used in the server, I'm a noob (newbie) aka new player so I don't feel bad by being called one but it's fun to say "PWNT NOOB" back when you kill the particular player back.

What about shooting or ramming the vehicles?
If there's an entire race wanting past they'll probably manage it.

Well was fun reading your whole experience. But if you were smart enough,  you would've just went on the sides of the road, (go on the grass...) like I saw people doing. By the way we only stopped 2-3 people but they got right back on their bikes and kept going. Only you decided to come back and try dbing me after you blew the truck up. Sadly you failed and left but you could've just kept going on the race instead of wasting more of your time.


Atleast we weren't running cars the other way, then you'd be screwed.

The idea is great! It's not a serious game but you need inspiration some times, I think I'm gonna try it sometime since LnX gave a Clear GO at this.

But if you were smart enough,  you would've just went on the sides of the road, (go on the grass...)

Lmao xD I've had bad sight since I was a kid, I've always seen bad on far distances (even in games) I didn't see either of the truck before I fell off my bike.

If it were due to intelligence then I would've just drove into it with purpose and then keep going, I though of helping the other racers instead of leaving the area with you guys intact with those cars at full health, so it was not about revenge but about helping the other players.
