I hosted a VROC 17 lap Glen race today at about 1:00pm EST. I don't
recall all the drivers that were in the race but there were at least 6
or 7 of us.
During practice everything seemed fine from my prospective. However,
When the green flag dropped..
I had pole and was on my second lap coming into the kink just before Big
Bend. BAM. There's a lotus sitting against the guard rail facing
counter race. At first I didn't think anything of it other then maybe
that driver spun and I found him at the wrong place. Shoot, cars spin
all the time. whoopee.
I figured I'd find out who it was and politely ask what happened.
So, I went to the replay to find the guys name. I cranked the replay
back a few feet and seen the other car driving a couple feet counter
race. I backed the replay up a few feet more just to see that he was
driving counter race ever since the entrance of the pits! "What the
heck was he thinking?". Still going back I seen that he did a "K" turn
in the track. It was overly obvious that he had every intention of
driving counter race just to take people out.
I talked to a couple that said that he was in other races and did
the same thing. So. It not a miss understanding of race rules but a
blatant attempt at smash up durby.
Drivers name was "M. RORIVE".
I don't get POed at people that crash others. I figure that it
could be either Warp, Driver error, or even the tail end of another
crash. This was definitely neither. He wanted to crash people.
I do have the replay (2 min.'s or 1.097K worth after t*** it
down) of the episode if you want it.

Too bad there isn't a way to save the 12 year old demo-derby wannabe's
IP, list it for all to see, and have a way to exclude it from any
future online racing, but of course that would only work with static
IPs. I guess passworded games are the only answer currently...

I came storming out of a turn when I suddenly noticed
a Lotus facing my way, I hit the brakes but I couldn't
avoid running him. I hit him head on and I thought:
"The poor guy. first he spins and then I fully run into
him with my poor driving skills".
Then I heard other drivers shouting that someone
was going the wrong way... Could it be? Yes, I
was his first victim....
I just cannot believe somebody beeing so childish
to do this....
Maybe the VROC script can be update so this
guys info can be deleted and his IP blocked...

It will (the latter, anyway).
!eject m.rorive
entered as a chat message by a "boss" will boot them right the heck
off.

Hmmm... My next question would be : Can someone who's just been
ejected re-connect to the server or does the server remember his IP or
something? Wouldn't want to have someone stay in the pits for all the
rest of practice time to eject someone that keeps reconnecting over
and over again...

Little by little we are learning of some wonderful things you have
packed in this 1.1 patch.... If this keeps up we should a full list
before the patch is released. <G>

YES!!! thanks Randy, this will be a great relief for those of us hosts
who have been forced to end an entire race (punishing all) due to one
of these idiot morons who want to ruin the fun for all.

Like Quake, there's only so much you can do to stop some ***
ruining everyone's fun.
A couple of friends and I used to run a QuakeWorld server, nice fat E3
connection, low pings, several servers running at once on a dedicated
NT box, basically we thought we were doing people a favour. What was
really incredible was how many ***s would try to ruin it by running
for the exit as soon as any DM level started (and doing it again and
again), trying to crash the server, trying to flood ping it (on an E3?
Yeah, nice one...!) etc etc. The ban list was absolutely massive
eventually! :-)
At least in GPL if they have to quit out, change IP, make a new
driver, reconnect etc it makes it a serious pain to be a pain!
Cheers!
