MW: But isn't it true, if you had stayed on your tried and true server, your LPI would be vastly greater than it is now? OP: OK OK, so It still wasn't my fault! MW: But isn't it true that open servers are akin to racing for the Devil's spawn, the same as covering up the addictive nature of nicotine?

OP: Wha??? MW: But isn't it true that IF you had listened to your inner child, you'd still have that nice safe LPI rating, that having that rating, you'd earn the respect of all those who clicked on your name and held down the shift-ctrl keys and stared in wide-eyed amazement at your deft car control as displayed by the said same LPI rating? ................ <disengage Mike Wallace Mode> there that about sums up my feelings tonight! :) sorry you were in the headlights Owen... dave henrie

I race on open servers all the time. My LPI is about 26. It doesn't fluctuate much even after a bad night. It sounds like you need to give yourself some time for the law of averages to catch up to you. Don't get wrapped up too much on who was at fault in an incident. If you look deep enough, you can almost always find a way to at least partially blame yourself. Ideally, you *should* do this, so that you just might possibly find a way of avoiding similar trouble in the future. Part of being successful is being able to dodge trouble. Try to look at every single incident as a learning opportunity. Ask yourself: "What could I have done differently that would have changed the outcome?" Usually, I can find something, and I suspect you can too. Don't get discouraged. Don't get mad, especially. Make your own luck. Always have fun. HTH, Gerald
