Vote to restart when two racers

[nikka]

Ey!

When there are only two racers on the track, votes from BOTH players should be required for the race to restart..

(hate it when i'm alone on a server and got a really good split, and some moron connects and immediately leaves the pit and votes to restart)

Oh well.

[inCogNito]

i agree

[bobvanvliet]

Yup. A simple half+1 rule would do here.

[geeman1]

Yup. A simple half+1 rule would do here.
Agreed.

[mrodgers]

I agree. I usually ask the guy, "hey, wanna race?" if I connect. The guy might have joined an empty to practice or whatever. I mean, if the guy doesn't want to race, then it's kind of pointless to restart.

sorry nikka, i said i wont do it anymore :P

its not hard to get another good split with the uf1 on the oval!!!

edit: this was only a joke, please refrain from flaming me for being so childish:P

i think both parties should have to restart also!!

[Barn]

I totally agree, this has to be the most maddening thing in lfs,that a noob can join a server and shift r without your permission, absolutely infuriating :x :x :x :x

edit: and the reason i say noob is an experianced racer knows to ask first!. totaly crazy that the vote system isn't in place for 2 racers.........grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr rrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Tweaker]

+1 For this. This is common when you are alone doing testing.

[amp88]

I agree totally. Half+1 would be an easy way to implement this too.

:nod: :up: +1

[J_luo88]

I agree too. Very annoying when someone just comes in and hits their shift-r buttons.

[96 GTS]

+1 from me too

[Bob Smith]

Or even better, when you actually race them, only they suck, and everytime they spin they restart the race, when I can drive clean no problem. Oh the joy.

[Dajmin]

+1 here.

But if you create a server just to practice on, I recommend setting a password :)

[keltern]

+1

cause nothing has pissed me off more than this online with LFS.. :tilt:

[matt_green84]

+1 from me too!

Other times are when i've survived all the T1 heros and doing reasonably well by my standards (read - there are people behind me on the same lap), then there's a restart!

Really frustrating.

If you want to practice, do it offline or on a private server with a stupid name and a few slaps of the keyboard as a password. If you want to race, that's what online is for.

[NotAnIllusion]

+1, F12 doesn't work in SP. Yes, you could practice on a LAN / private server but.. practice doesn't have to be done offline. I'd prefer to practice on a server where more people are practising. That way I can concentrate on driving my own set of laps, but am not going to fall asleep while doing so, having to watch the minimap and be involved in the occasional pass.

[Takumi_Project.d]

unless I am mistaken this idea is now implemented isn't it? I recall after a certain patch, I was in a race - and both me and the other guy had to vote before it restarted :) peace out!

actually it's not about getting practice!!. as you probably noticed,a lot of servers use i stats,so it's about setting a good time to get on leader board,why should we have our laps ruined by people who are to lazy to even bother driving out of the pits??
It's like me walking into your house and changing the tv channel without asking,sooooooooo rude!

It's weird.. I was thinking about this the other day. I coulda sworn Scawen himself (or maybe it was Victor?) said that half+1 would be the right figure and that Scawen said he would be implementing it.. but it wasn't this thread, it was another (but I haven't searched again for it).. if it happened at all. I think I must have dreamed it. Twilight zone moment, here! Am I waffling? :x :shy:

I agree that it can really be anoying. Has happend to me a few times:pillepall

[R3DMAN]

i practise online coz alot of the STCC guys join and practise with me.

+1 for me

[Warper]

Maybe it's already done in one of after U20 patch...:scratchch Need to read changes on patch thread...


Don't think so, it would be an imcopatible patch i would say... Or is it enough when the host ist patched with "the new" half+1 feature?

+1 from me... :)

[shrubba]

I couldn't agree more... I am new to online racing, but just this evening I found this to be more than a little irritating. I know the person joining means well, but really... when I am on lap 9 of 10, and just want to finnish up... let me go!

+1 So annoying :x when peps enter the race and immediatly vote for restart.

[richy]

+1 here too!

[Micaoct]

+1 good suggestion, very annoying when you have a few meters left of your final lap and someone "decides" to restart.

I just came here to open a new thread addressing this. :) Good news, I am not the only one whishing this for the next patch!

There is a "changes on patch" thread?

+1 for this idea, its pretty annoying when sombody does it.

[wark]

At the moment all you can do is vote yes; if you could vote against (http://www.lfsforum.net/showthread.php?t=22247) a motion, problem solved.

Not so much good lap times, but after a few others left for their own reasons I found myself alone on a 40-50 lap game, so I figured I'd see if i could make it without changing tires.

I got reset three different times by three different people when i was over 20 laps.

The first two left after a lap or two when they saw they couldn't keep up, third didn't stay too much longer. The second one even kept restarting because he spun out at turn 1 every time. :gnasher:
