I hardly think you can apply more pressure to TEN/Papyrus than they are applying to themselves. They are making "zero" dollars on the NROS and you don't think they feel pressure yet? I sense from what I've read, that they are doing all they can as fast as they can. I can't imagine it being any different considering their investment into this project. Lotsa bucks! Terry

I'm curious. How many people out there have ideas on how NRO is going to rank drivers? How about how long from rollout until the "First Season" will start? How will one advance to "THE BIG SHOW"? How will one get "sent down"? Will there be different leagues? Different series? Will there be a "premier" division? Anyone else getting tired of this? Why are we getting so little information from TEN? I am looking for people who are ready to race and ready to put more pressure on TEN and Papy. I do realize the complexities of establishing a multiuser IP client/server based NASCAR racing system, but I also realize that there is a substantial market here and if that market dictates, some one should provide the goods! I am interested in hearing al thoughts, flames, etc..... Walk Walker #19 Tobacco Master Racing

Hey if you REALLY (and I mean reeeeally) want to know all what's up with NROS (all of it), get a new USENET server host at localnews.ten.net and go to the TEN.games.simulation.nascar newsgroup. It's big, very big (takes up many r.a.s. customers, get back here please !!), more than 2000 posts since it's started. You will get there all the info you want (or all the info TEN/NROS let's you). But this is a serious newsgroup, and you should be advice before getting to it. Thanks a lot, With great respect, Good race at the Brickyard, (-o-) SPEED- Co-director SPEED- http://www.sim-speed.com/ AWPSS- Director of Simracing AWPSS- http://www.awpss.com/ SRHoF- Director SRHoF- http://when.it's.finished/ ! - *Excuse me for my poor English(I'm French speaking) * -

TEN/Sierra/Papyrus is taking so long, becaues, UNLIKE other games like Diablo, Quake, etc etc, they are building in "Cheat Catchers". Remember, NASCAR has sanctioned NROS as an official 13th league. This is no petty anti "hack-n-slash" online game like the others. It's needs to be as cheat proof as they can get it. While NASCAR isn't completly cheat free (IMHO), NROS wont be either, but they are setting it up as best they can for such cases. Personaly, I'd rather know I didn't get to go to the banquiet(sp) for the NROS champion ship because a better driver, not hacker, beat me. -------------------------------------------------------------- Brett "This isn't horseshoes or hand gernades.
