N2k2 Sierra Servers

Okay, this is a mini-rant. What the hell do we do about the intentional wreckers on the Papyrus servers? Last night this dick (first as (LNB) Wolf, then as WOLF OMO) logged on and ruined 2 great races by intentionally wrecking, parking on the track, driving the wrong way, etc. To make matter worse, the dumbasses at Sierra now made is so Bosses cannot eject any players any more - it now takes an admin. This is such a GREAT game online when you have clean racers, but just 1 or 2 asses really ruins the entire server and takes away an opportunity for us to race. To top it all off, their stupid ass rating system doesn't care if you initiate a wreck or if you just get caught up in it, you STILL get negatively rated from it. The rating system is SUCH BS it's not funny. I just started racing N2k2 online and I'm just now to a SS rating of 5 because of all the asses that are out there and not through any fault of my own. The thing that really gets me is that when you have clean drivers it is really GREAT! We had a Daytona race with 20+ people and 4 of us were battling for first place until the end. It was a really great experience. I just hope that I get into the league I applied for so that I can race with good, clean drivers. /rant off -- --------------------- Rob Berryhill

Sierra has a forum that used to have the details on how to 'turn in' a wrecker. Check there and see if that is still active. They can ban his cd key and it won't matter if he comes back as wolf, wolfie, or wolfette. dave henrie "Rob" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wHfU8.408$[email hidden]... > Okay, this is a mini-rant.

Rob, My suggestion is to forget the Open races and get into a League. Most of the clean drivers get into a league to avoid these headaches. That is about all you can really do. Good luck though, bif1988 Techracing League Rob wrote:

I believe Papy has an established procedure for reporting this and getting drivers banned. And since the patch, getting banned means it's all over for them. You can no longer just change your Sierra name and log back on. It actually locks out your serial number. And I, for one, totally agree with the removal of ejection privilages from Boss's. It was being seriously abused, even to the point of Boss's booting people because they were ahead of them in a race. It ws out of control. -Larry "Rob" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:wHfU8.408$[email hidden]... > Okay, this is a mini-rant.

Why, what did they do? The 2 leagues I run often have races that have 2 or 3 cautions at 50% and maybe go green all the way a couple of times a season. -- __________ Steve Levett > > he heeeeh heee - HA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGHGHG HA HAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA > > You Read any Escor Forums recently? > > Doug > >

I just had a race ruined at Watkins Glen by this idiot and his butt buddy Lauren Pleasnme. They worked together and parked sideways on the track next to each other in the esses. I checked the papy forums and I guess they were overwhelmed by people complaining about wreckers so they dont do much about it anymore. I guess I should just stick to the few Rascar races that I can manage to race and be done with it. The pick up races are just too damn frustrating most of the time. And don't tell me to join a league. My works hours do not allow me to make any kind of scheduled races. Kyle

Well sad to say, it doesn't sound like anything will work for you... The open races are a crapshoot, and you can't make league races. So what's left?
