> It would be nice if Papy would acknowledge that they acknowledge :)

Gee guys can you just WAIT a little.

Everybody is slamming Papy for AI (which is still excellent and better then
99% of the racing games on the markeT), for Blackflag problems (which are
mostly related to their own on-track faults), Multi problem, etc...  It's
still the most complete and by far racing simulation on the market.

People want everything everytime all the time everywhere... geeze relax <G>

But of course, you had to pay an account for each ID screename.  You could
have however you wanted, if you could pay the extra 40$ per 3month for each
of them.

Anyway the N4 ranking is NOT important.  Rankings are NOT important.

No, you were only penalised if you finished behind people who had skills
like you/under you, and also from incidents.

    That's right!  I knew there was something I was missing.

It's okay ;)   Actually it wasn't not all whom had the same or below skills
as you, it was a maximum 3skills from you.  Thus if you were in a 0-15 Dega
race and you were a skill race, all the 0-11 skill guys who beat you had no
effect on your score.  I loved the system, I'm very sure that it's almost
the same in N4.  I've checked out my track results (Control-Shift on your
name in the profile pop-up) and it looks very similar.  I could check out my
NROS stuff as I was the first NROS Guide, but it's stuff on the past.  I
think I've deleted them anyways...

I'm sure when the time is come and Papyrus feels their statistic system is
good (notice LPI aren't counted most of the time), we will know all about
their system.

But they are implemented on the brickservers.  Which, of course, is where I
get my best connections too.
