Season 13 - General Discussion

[Bob Miley]

Give her some roses in a vase on, say Tuesday. She'll want to inhale their to-girls-so-magical-flower-ness so much she wont leave home until at the latest, which is Thursday, because flowers cant be moved.

I don't do flowers, if I give her flowers she will think I am having an affair. After 35 years we generally just grunt and know what we mean.

FYI, i met Denis Reissland on presto server yesterday. He is a former pretogp regular. I hope he will race more often He had not driven for 3 years.

 

[Bob Miley]

I so wish I could not make this. I have not been able to complete 2 consecutive laps in wet conditions out of over 60 attempts. This could be a very short race for me.

I noticed that the like-function had changed, so I am guessing they have made updates to the forum software and the old/new thing is a new feature. It seems now it is corrected? (I have done nothing)

 

[David Turnbull]

the likes system is offline atm, there was an announcement yesterday.

the old/new thing, could it be that when your watching a forum, if a new post appears it goes to new, when youve read it it goes to old?

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

Can someone point me to the agreed points distribution for this season, as suggested by sean?

 

[David Turnbull]

Lol Bernie ideas sometimes .....

Best way I see changing things to keep championships alive etc would be to reduce front few points won and or using, I think it was Tims idea while ago in removing your worst result points. This gives everyone 1 missed race/dnf or whatever to help keep it closer.

With 50 points for a win 1 dnf or missed race can can be really costly I suppose.
Edit: Something like this ? Just thinking while I'm supposed to be working don't know if it would change anything really.

P1 - 26
P2 - 22
P3 - 20
P4 - 18
P5 - 16
P6 - 15
P7 - 14
P8 - 13
P9 - 12
P10 – 11
P11 – 10
P12 – 9
P13 – 8
P14 – 7
P15 – 6
P16 - 5
P17 - 4
P18 - 3
P19 - 2
P20 - 1

here it is

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

[Reik Major]

Thank you very much Nico.

Now everyone needs to turn it around to see me on top. Will do my very best to climb up as much as possible during the rest of the season...

 

[David Turnbull]

was it not possible to add the new points system nico?

must admit it is good to see the results back and working

 

[Reik Major]

I think they're up "old style" so Peter has something to play with.

 

[David Turnbull]

I actually meant Sean's point system of 26 points for a win, not the worst result.

 

[Reik Major]

ah...

 

[David Turnbull]

Only worked out the top 7 with the new points here but this is what it would look like with Seans points system right now......

David Turnbull - 78
Jim Hawley - 52
Vincenzo Cavaliere - 45
Tim McIver - 44
Sean Greenlaw - 44
Tito Parisi - 36
Valter Ostman - 36

if my maths are right Now compare that to the actual table........

David Turnbull - 150
Jim Hawley - 100
Tim McIver - 81
Vincenzo Cavaliere - 81
Sean Greenlaw - 81
Tito Parisi - 64
Valter Ostman - 60

To me Seans table has evened it up a bit and made a slight diffrence to the positions, I'm unsure if this will have a major diffrence on the outcomes at the end of the season, I'm purely looking at my situation here but If i dnf the next race and Jim wins then either way we are level on points.

what do you think?

 

[Nicolai Nicholson]

I wasn't aware it was old style, I thought I had changed what needed changing. but no worry, I'll figure it out and get the table done with Sean's points.

Think it look great! And I haven't had the time to play around with the points table. But I will

[Nicolai Nicholson]

If you want it for CAD as well then I would say @Jim Hawley is the man to ask. Besides that it looks like a very nice PC, with a large SSD disk I run on windows 7 without problems.

 

[Valerio Vinassa]
