No, a sim racer, and the sim was Nascar Racing.

Well there was many, but Robert Huggins was the "famous" one.

Yup, that's the guy I was thinking of.

Well, he applied for membership in RASCAR, and I wanted to be sure he
was the same guy I was thinking about before refusing his
application.

Old sim racers have really long memories - I'm so old, I needed help
with mine.  I checked dejanews because I know it was discussed
frequently here.  Then, someone on sierra's boards mentioned his
current ID's, and one of the ones listed is the one the applicant
provided.  That was proof enough for me.

I figured he was the one when I found his name in a list alongside
Don Wilshe's.

Didn't you let Don run a few RASCAR races a while back?

That was last season, and yeah we did. Then we found out he was
involved in fraudulent registrations in another league, and we
refused him (and his alter ego) entry into RASCAR this season.

Again, the decision to refuse him entry was his past with another
league.  While I don't think he'll ever admit it, he tried the same
***with us.

4th Turn is a huge cheat from what I hear

Blast From The Past

Whoa, John!

If you are talking about Robert Huggins, then I think you better go do some
deep research of the issues.....because he was "accused" of cheating under
circumstances that subsequent evidence never supported.  At the time,
there's enough evidence that he was arbitrarily "kicked off TEN" by Papyrus
for not so noble reasons.....the excuse was that he was cheating.  Nothing
was ever proven.  I believe Robert's "response" was something along the
lines of  "yes, I was cheating online.....but I was hired by Papyrus to do
that in order to prove to them the flaws in their online coding for NASCAR 3
(I believe it was N3....not totally sure about that)."  He claims to have
had some "political problems" subsequently with several individuals at
Papyrus.......and that he was "framed" as a cheater for that reason.  I'm
not sure of all of the details.....but my memory isn't too far off.....that
I am sure of.

I also can tell you that at the same time, I was having some problems with
some Papyrus staff as well......but for entirely different and unrelated
things.  But, these few individuals I had problems with....if they were also
ones that were involved with Robert's deal.......these guys were not beyond
doing something like that.  I will tell you that I did not sit back and take
this ***from these people idly......I took it to Havaas.....and within a
month all three of these individuals were mysteriously no longer working at
Papyrus!  I'm not going to rehash old shit......but this occurred just after
the Huggins deal (by a few months).....so you can figure out the connection
yourself.

I would also like you to research how he has conducted himself since then,
and what he has contributed to this sim community's online racing software
since then.  He's a member of Black Hole Motorsports still, (I
believe).....and there's enough well respected people on that race team that
did enough "search and research" to satisfy themselves enough to have Robert
Huggins join the team (a couple years ago I believe).  That, I would
think....should carry some weight with you as well.  But, you should do your
own homework, too.

Finally, I will state emphatically that I am not friends with Robert
Huggins, that I have no ulterior motive for making these statements about
him.  I am only making them in the interest of fair play.  I think you are
making a mistake, John.  That's the only reason I have responded to this
post.

My regards,

Tom Pabst

Oh ***PEOPLE.......

Have we learned nothing from the witch-hunt days?  From the Joe McCarthy
days?

CAN WE PLEASE AVOID THE *******"I HEARD SO-IN-SO IS A CHEATER"
STATEMENTS*******?????????

Zodiac....I don't have a clue who you are.  But your "stock" in my book just
went to "zero!"  That was one of the most "brainless" statements I've ever
heard come out of the mouth of a human being!

I do not know who "4th Turn" is either....but you owe him (or her) an
apology....as well as every member of this board!

Wow, another twisted history session with Tom. Let's set it back the way it
reallly was because you are:
A. Someone who was not the  least involved in Nascar sim racing at the time
Huggins began his cheating. Anybody here ever see Pabst on RAS during
Huggins cheating fiasco? NO. Huggins was cheating waaay before TEN. And you,
Tom not only were you NOT on Hawaii but you didn't show up on TEN until some
time after it was running.
B. You were not responsible for the hiring or firing of any individuals
form Papy at that or any other time.
  I remember asking some Papy guys if they ever heard of you long after TEN
was going. That was about the time you told us you were going to "pave the
way" for us in sims in your "farewell to all the lousy drivers" speech. They
said they'd never heard of you.
  Banned arbitrarily? He agreed to the rules when signing up for TEN. And by
then he was long gone from any beta test position. So much for the "framed"
theory.
And just why would Papy have any sort of need to "frame" anyone? Beta
testers are easy to find.
  Couldn't care less if he is a great guy today.

   This your annual attempt at re-writing sim history? Your stories are
getting craftier but there's still some left who know better.

lol, i dont think savats cheated in the normal sense. He just tended to
drive over cars when overtaking rather than round them :) or just push them
off
