I can't make it, packing madness today —I'm half moving from Scotland back to Italy, and in February I'll be half moving from Scotland to Norway   (so I can spy on dstien's replays)

I am half moving back to Budapest next summer!

[BonzaiJoe]

How come? And what's the half part?

[Duplode]

To anyone that was not in chat: race will start at 22GMT (40 minutes from now) 

[CTG]

And what's the half part?

30 kg from Zak will stay.

[Duplode]

Done

[Chulk]

DONE!!

[Friker]

grrr

[Duplode]

Against all odds, there was a race after all! Summarized results:

1. Duplode (7 laps, stopped at the large 180° near the beginning)
2. Chulk (7 laps, stopped just before the second tunnel in the main straight)
3. Friker (7 laps, stopped at the entrance of the pipe between the two tunnels in the main straight; with some penalty)

(Friker, "weak NoRH pipsqueak", "hates IMSA", etc.? Now we know the truth  )

Let's get the live races rolling again, and race again ASAP, at a sane time if possible 

[Friker]

Final results:

Standings |	pipsqueak |	Laps finished |	Tiles after last completed lap |
1.	Duplode	7	15
2.	Chulk	7	7
3.	Friker*	7	1

*Late post = some penalty

Lap times:

Congrats to the Chulk's fastest lap!

We have agreed that secs/tile is better metrics than "tiles after last lap" but I am so sleepy that I have no idea how to compute it, so Chulk/Duplode, pls clarify it.

[Chulk]

First thing first, thanks for the timings! Now, to clarify and discuss:

Counting track tiles is a bit confusing, so describing the place where a .rpl ends is easier and clearer, using photo shoots in case race is tight.

About penalty (considering we are measuring distances and not time), the best is probably a tile penalty. Somewhat about a tile per second, after a 20s threshold. (if we decide to count tiles)
If not, maybe a time penalty ending the replay earlier. For instance, 20s penalty per minute late, so an 8 min replay is rewinded to 7:40 and measured there

What do you guys think?

It sounds acceptable.

(Sorry for leaving so early, I was incredibly tired.)

How come? And what's the half part?

I am needed here in my job and we would like the kids to spend more time with the family.
So agreed with my boss: we spend July + August and December + January + February in Hungary. The rest in China.

Too bad I was not able to join the race - was tempted by my wife to go to the cinema. Next time I will try to resist!
Btw. Cloud atlas is a great movie.

So you're actually 5/12 moving back to Hungary...
