Hawaii Suggestions - yea or nay

by Alan J. Claff » Mon, 06 May 1996 04:00:00

Hey hey hey I know you're sick of hearing from claff93 but we've got
some suggestions

1.  I'm in a league there, and last night while there was a 8 racer
minimum for a race.  It was getting kinda late but we had 7 guys of
our league ready to rip for a short run at Martinsville.  Couldn't get
the 8th and had to forego the race.  How about League races not have
minimum racer numbers so those of us who are in a league don't have to
wait hours for an eighth to show up?  The guy who set up the league
race can decide when to either switch to NASCAR or get in the queue
for an open server

2.  How about a CTRL-K key combination that would bring up a dialog
window where one could type in the name of someone who just pulled a
major-league boner?  If that person gets so many votes (% of race
participants perhaps) he or she is DQ'd from the race.

3.  I don't know how servers are allocated and when they go
on-line/off-line, but I suspect there are more than the 3 or so that
were up late last night.  Is there some way to set the servers up so
that if there are races waiting to be run a server will come on-line
to lighten the load and reduce the wait?

4.  How about when races are nominated, there be a limit on what
tracks that are available?  It's kinda silly to see three races
simultaneously forming for the same track (Talley usually, ZZZ).
Maybe this will force Hawaii pilots to explore a couple more tracks
than the three or four that they seem to stick to.  I'm tired of
Talladega!

I guess this is enough ranting for one night, I'll sit back and see
how these fly.  Feedback is welcomed and appreciated.

Cool idea, but you don't always know who starts the wreck that you come up
on...
You'd have to check the replay after the race.

Reminds me of a Gallagher routine where he suggests giving everyone a
suction cup dart gun. When you see someone begin a jerk on the road, nail
'em with a dart. If a cop comes along and sees a car with a dozen darts or
so sticking to it, he just pulls 'em over and writes out a ticket. <g>

Well the CTRL-K key wouldn't be necessary for *every* wreck that
happens in a Hawaii race, but if you've got someone who's most
definitely out there just to cause wrecks and blocking traffic and
going the wrong way and plowing into leaders etc. etc...  I'm sure you
get the idea.

I like his line about asking over a loudspeaker "Was that stupid or WHAT?"  If
you get four people that say yes, you could pull the guy over and each of you
take one of hie tires...<g>

I didn't know anyone ELSE liked Gallagher...<g>

He does have some funny bits. I was in Vegas once and some friends wanted
to go see his show. They were about to slip the maitre 'd a bill to get
some front row seats. Luckily, I convinced them that we ought to sit back
about 10 rows or so. They did bring out ponchos for the people in the front
row.
