Parody thread about a nonexistent World Sports Cars warez

A joke post parodied the GP3 warez threads by reviewing a nonexistent warez version of World Sports Cars. Eldred and others played along with mock arguments about version numbers and sims, while some admitted they did not get the joke at first.

This is total bull$#!+, Eldred -- and anyone who even tries to say that WSC is merely an update to WSB, or that it's really only "WSB.5" is even more full of $$#!+. Even in its current warez form, WSC is THE most complete, most technically-accurate simulator we've ever seen -- it far surpasses GPL, and at this point, I would almost rank it right up there with "Trans Am Racing: 1967-1972" (yes, the WSC warez version I've played really is THAT good!). Call me a blasphemer, but I have to totally disagree with you on this one, Eldred. Your GPL rank sucks, too -- I'm MUCH closer to the bottom of the list than you are, further proving that I'm more of an expert on mediocrity than you could ever hope to be! ;-) -- JB In article <[email hidden]>, [email hidden] (EldredP) wrote:

Ok, I guess I *am* a piker, using that definition. I *do* play cautiously. But that still doesn't excuse you for CALLING me one!

Dude, it's a FACT. No amount of posturing on your part is going to change that. I still can't believe that you prefer TAR, SBR, and SB2. I have more mediocre games than that on my Palm Pilot!
