Troll accuses group of discussing nothing but GPL

A troll awarded the newsgroup a 'gold medal' for refusing to accept games other than GPL. Regulars mocked the post and listed the many other sims under discussion, and the thread drifted into jokes about pets and sim-racing outfits.

In my opinion, RAS is probably the most sensible Newsgroup I have ever read. Though we may disagree (which is a major part of any discussion) over many things most of us are quite mature about it and we let everyone have their say about many differant racing sims/games. I see many posts here about NFS, though some might not think of this series as a sim, we allow those who want to discuss it do so. I know the ages of contributers to RAS ranges from at least 15 to 60 years and seem to be in all corners of the world. RAS is far more sensible than rasf1, a group of people who give new meaning to the word Juvenile. I love Formula One but don't have the time of day to waste wading through the megabytes of idiotic posts in that group. I find that a trip to RAS though will usually be informative and educational Hopefully I will also be able to try and help someone with a problem or get help if I am stuck with something. Thats another thing, the help in here is first class, 99% of my HELP! posts have been promptly answered and 99% of those answers have solved my problem. Okay I'm rambling on a bit here.

I normally ignore this stuff, but hey, what the heck! I then must be the Super-troll, as I not even just drive GPK only, I drive Spa only.

Simon Brown 20 May 2000 02:52 UTC#268956
I think you'll find there's plenty of coverage of other games here. Just having a quick look myself, GP500, TOCA 2, F1 2000, N3, N4, WSC, GP2, GP3, SCGT, RC 2000, F1 99, RM and SBK 2000 all have threads, and that's just on the first two pages. You think we should stop playing and discussing GPL just because you don't like it?

That is just not true, the only thing that will get EVERYBODY yelling at you is talknig about "I pirated GPL converter" or "Where do I find F12K to download ?" Now that is the real way to have people scream at you....

In other computer games if you are having a problem somewhere you can try various solutions which invariably will not work until you hit on the most reliable way of getting past the point at which you are having difficulty. In GPL I have discovered it works much the same way. Having a problem at a certain part of the track then try different ways of getting through that part until the most reliable and quickest way presents itself. Meantime, whilst trying various ways, you are going to end up in the hay or wall quite often, but eventually you will start to hit on the best way. In the real world you cannot do this. You cannot take chances like this as obviously you're putting yourself and the car at risk and so, although GPL is very good a simulating the physics of motor sport for these cars, it can still be treated like a game as with any other computer game.

For me, GPL is more of an experience. I don't drive with racing shoes, but I do have a genuine c1960 racing helmet and overalls, and a fan above the monitor for that blast of cold air. I'd like to have the fan speed changing relative to on-track speed, but that would be going too far David <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:01bfc34b$e07fd220$fdd2fc3f@packardbell...

My cat, Buster, is often beside me while I'm racing. When things go wrong and I feel like tearing the wheel off my desk and smashing it to pieces, Buster is always there for me.... to pick up by the scruff of his neck and send him hurling to the other side of the room. His wild scream, eyes bugged out, four legs spread-eagle and tail flying behind him, then a thud as he hits the wall and with the sudden silence that follows I'm quickly lured back into tranquility. My wheel is saved. 8 times Buster has done this for me, and I'm racing again tonight. Anybody have any kittens to give away to a good home ;-) -- Slot www.slottweak.com Tweaks & Reviews

Brake slightly earlier and enter at what seems to be a speed that is a tad too slow and you will see you will manage the corner just nicely, at the limit. -Gregor
