Then your assumption was wrong. I'd suggest cancelling the current game and starting a new one tomorrow to give everyone an equal playing field. It doesn't matter if only three people so far have joined your game - those three people still had an unfair advantage, even if they were not personally aware of it.

That's not fair on them.

Now now guys, by the looks of it, it was just an honest mistake. Lets just all leave it at that and we all wait until tomorrow. Besides some users would have an advantage over others anyway due to timezones

What a great way to end the season! Mori took the title by one point! Great finish!

Post by **kevinbotz** » 14 Oct 2013, 00:49

I'd be completely fine with a restart.

It's not fair on the rest who didn't get the chance either.

I'm for starting a new one and giving everyone a fair chance to get what they want.

I totally agree. If everyone's up for it, I've created a new game here. Password is hwnsnbm.

Stuck with Benetton for the restart.

Previous game deleted, I'm in the Williams and at the top of practice at the moment

Post by **kevinbotz** » 14 Oct 2013, 15:22

Well, I crashed in practice already, leaving me with just three laps to set up my car.

Six seconds off the Williams. My incompetence seems to know no bounds.

Having run the qualifying tyres, might I add.

Yeah, I just felt like going for the glory of topping the time sheets

Made some blind adjustments to my set up, which might improve my lap times. Not optimistic though; it's going to be a rough Brazilian Grand Prix for us.

Lel, an Osella ahead of a Benetton.

Collieafc · Post by **Collieafc** » 14 Oct 2013, 18:45

As somebody has taken Williams, I have taken the McLaren to give the illusion of a possible title fight.

We can join the new F1 86 game now?

Yes, join the one posted by Salamander. If you want to remain in co-operation with me there's a seat available at Osella.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 14 Oct 2013, 20:26

Since we organised this on the chat earlier, could everyone leave Zakspeed open so Eurobrun and myself can team up to cause chaos and destruction the likes of which we've never seen before? :mrgreen:

Wallio · Post by **Wallio** » 14 Oct 2013, 23:22

Ah crap, I just saw this. If the admin can do it, I will withdraw from Zakspeed. If I totally bathplugged this up, I apologize.

WaffleCat · Post by **WaffleCat** » 15 Oct 2013, 06:37

Not entering this one,as it happens right in the middle of my examinations.

Yeah, there's nothing I can do about that unfortunately.

Damnit, I was so looking forward to causing all sorts of madness at Zakspeed with Mr Hamilton :cry:

Well, I guess I'll just reserve both Lola or Tyrell seats, unless people are fine with hitting the reset button again (Which would probably be in andrew's best interests, considering running qualifying tyres in practice is one of the daftest things I've seen in a long time :lol:

)

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 15 Oct 2013, 08:17

Yeah, we can reset if everyone's okay with it.

I'm fine with that.

I wouldn't mind a restart.

TomWazzleshaw · Post by **TomWazzleshaw** » 15 Oct 2013, 09:29

Just to clarify from my earlier post, if people don't want to restart it, I'm fine with Eurobrun and myself trolling around the back with Lola or Tyrrell.

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 15 Oct 2013, 10:47

Well, I'll give it 24 hours for someone to voice a disagreement - if there is none, I'll delete the current game and create a new one.

I'd rather stick with the one we have now. It saves us the trouble of setting up again, and if Melrose is OK with it, then I see no reason to restart anyway.

If there is a restart, I hope everyone is gentlemanly and sticks to their cars.

Bah, sorry guys, I just read until the got to the password then got excited to Zakspeed free (love them since they ran their own engines). I should have kept reading. May HWNSNBM smite me! :oops:

Nah, we'll let the BatRacer RNG gods take care of that for him.

Salamander · Post by **Salamander** » 18 Oct 2013, 20:49

I should probably mention that I've started the game now. Good luck everyone - though I doubt the guys in the McLarens and Williams' will need it.

Post by **kevinbotz** » 18 Oct 2013, 21:11

Best of luck to everyone. God help us all with the mayhem adjustments.
