Mike and Y:
I think we have to cut MikeM some slack here. He is on a burning ship and
fighting a firestorm of concerns from NASCAR drivers. I like MikeM for the
old days. Find a job, MikeM and be Happy...

Well, not first ever but first in a very long time. I used to be a
regular 'lurker' in RAS for several years (how else would I know about you
being the "Official Mentally Retarded Guy Of RAS" and the "Self-appointed
President of RAS"?......hehe) Even then, I hardly ever posted (never felt
recently returned to regularly reading RAS, although I did stop in from time
to time. I stopped because my personal interest lay in NASCAR racing and
this group was about everything but NASCAR for quite a while. With N3
coming out very soon it only seemed natural to return to make sure that I
kept up with all the N3 information and concerns possible.
As for NROS versus VROC, I don't feel the need for an us versus them
menatilty. I love NASCAR racing and that's where my interest is. But I'm
certainly not going to fault, degrade, or insult someone else just because
they enjoy a different form of racing. That is ludicrous (that means
rediculous for you GPLers....j/k <G>)
Personally, I hope that everybody ends up happy with whatever racing
simulation they are into. I hope that all the different disciplines can
look at each other as comrades instead of opposition. We all love racing in
one form or another and are actually after the same ultimate goal. To have
simulated racing, be it online or offline, be the absolute best that it can
be. The online crowd wants to see it grow into something on a grand scale,
no matter which style of racing it is.
Oh well, I've written too much already and started to ramble. I'll just
slink back into the shadows again.

oxymoron
Hey Mike nice reply :)
First r.a.s post ever ? Your lurking here from time-to-time ? I've always
informed r.a.s.ers about the NROS, and always try to reply when Mike Barlow
puts down the NROS for VROC. I guess we will have to wait until an official
answer by SIERRA to stop speculating about all the possibilities, but I will
know a little sooner when I'll have the chance to try N3 multiplayer. I
really don't want bad news, but I suppose it's what will happen :(
Is it hard to work when you don't know about your immediate future for your
job ?

And for those of you who don't think online *** is the future, all I
can say is either you haven't ever played online, or you got your ass
kicked miserably. Will it make or break Nascar3? You see they
included it didn't they?

Uhh.. why would you say that? I was commenting on a jerk at TEN,
not the users of TEN, and certainly not 'everybody that has ever
raced on TEN'. Did you major in hyperbole, or are you just an ***?
I was giving my opinion on the jerk at TEN's belief that N3 will fail
unless it has great MP. He is incorrect, and I said so.
Oh, and thanks for snipping my entire post. That really helps the
reader understand what we're talking about, and has the added
effect of speaking volumes for your honesty.
One more thing...

You keep throwing around this 9,000 number, that's one of the main things that
drove me away from TEN. What you really have is 1,000 honest guys, and 2,000
jerks who have four accounts each. I really liked the rankings, and worked
hard to get to #800 with a 38 LPI despite the horrid start. Then I realized
that the vast majority ahead of me had started over and or used seperate
accounts for pick-up racing. Just before the NROS started, many people were
losing races purposly to get in certain divisions. Ruined it for me.
The only differences I see between TEN and VROC style are rankings and cost. I
have very little trouble with warping on either, and I find chat to be moronic.
Once I realized that the rankings were bogus, the cost seemed silly.
