You know that everything you write will show up in this box, right? From now on, I will not click on "Show me the post."

The grass skid sound is a must in my opinion. If this sound doesn't exist I will go back to pc speaker sounds. Maybe it's not the best sound but it is as useful as the paved skid. Also it's a sound for dirt road skid so it is very important for soundblaster.

wow, never knew that was a bug on some versions.

I already took care of that.

Concerning the sound, why don't you just listen to music?

Telling people to listen to music instead is missing the point entirely.
This thread isn't for promoting your game. Nobody asked.

This is really not cool, but from what I can tell, the rules page only talks about this under the Team section, where it says you can't use teammates' replays.

Good idea Cas! It might be hard to detect automatically with good accuracy but it's still better than nothing.

I'm still pretty new to this community, so I won't make a full tier list, but after watching a bunch of replays from top players, I wanted to share some notable ones. This is just my personal list, sorry if I missed anyone.

Alien-tier 👽 - You start wondering if these players are human or some kind of secret AI experiment gone rogue.
Renato Biker, Ayrton, Alan Rotoi

S-tier 💎 - Flawless lines, no mistakes. Almost pixel-perfect driving.
Gutix, Duplode, CTG, Akoss Poo, FinRok, Alain

My ranking is mostly based on Duplode's Historical Folyami ranking (https://scr.stunts.hu/folyami.html)

Still, you've placed me in mid-B rank after KyLiE? My win rate against KyLiE is 9-1, while against Duplode it's 5-5 so far this season. It's gotta be something other than performance, right? There's no way this makes sense.

EDIT: Sorry I missed that you didn't rank within each tier. Still, able to defeat S-rank players after a over 20-year break and only B rank feels strange.

This is so cool!
It would be great to have one of the veterans create a video using this tier maker while explaining the reasoning behind their placement.

But there's an error.

I got this right now while trying to upload an animated gif on my team forum.

First of all, I think it's a shame that we won't get to see you in every race next year. I've always thought of you as the "final boss" each month.

I have to admit I feel called out by both points Argammon mentioned. I'm a sore loser and tend to blame other things, in this case the PTB system, instead of my own performance. That said, I still stand by my opinion that the PTB should be reviewed for next season, and you made some good points about it already.

I know that acknowledging the other player is important, no matter the outcome. It's something that both I and others should work on.

Yeah, with how messed up the current PTB system is, I'm fine settling for silver.

Up until this point in the season, I have around 250 more leading hours compared to Argammon, excluding the carryover. With the carryover system Argammon is tied with me in PTB despite doing less.

I will exploit this system next season if it stays.

Duplode got what I meant. To better clarify, repeating my example where

* Driver A gets 263 leading hours on race 1 and 400 hours on race 2
* Driver B gets 265 leading hours on race 1 and 400 hours on race 2

The results would be

* Driver A gets 0.5 points on race 1, carries over 131 hours and gets 2 points on race 2 (total 2.5)
* Driver B gets 1 point on race 1, carries over no hours and gets 1 point on race 2 (total 2)

So, driver B would be punished for doing too well on race 1. To avoid this situation, top drivers who are having a bad month might be tempted to artificially stay under the 1-point threshold, giving up half a point but gaining useful carryover that can be used in the next race to hopefully reach the 2-point threshold. Is this a too artificial situation? Maybe, my analysis is just based on abstract game theory while you have decades of concrete experience in this tournament.

I support HerrNove's proposal to remove carryover.

Very nice! Are you planning to have option to add/remove cars from the chart? Also would it be possible to add a subtle horizontal+vertical line inside the chart that intersect mouse pointer?

I'm happy with the rules as it is! As for the cars my personal wish is that Mercedes stays, because I enjoy driving it the most

@Matei, are you planning to join the competition next year? I haven't seen you on the scoreboard yet so I'm curious why you are posting here. Hope I get a chance to race against you!

LOL Alain must be trolling at this point
