I hadn't played Forza in a couple of weeks, and came back to 1.6 mil from the storefront :buddy: That should go a long way towards the price of the new DLC cars!

Also that's the worst Track Day driving I've ever seen, holy poo poo.

gently caress it. I'm around, and clearly plan on being around at least weekly for a long time - I realized the other day that I really missed having a weekly race series on my schedule. First it was NASCAR 2003 Series, and then later, a group of guys in rFactor.

So, what I'm saying is that there's an nth option now. After loving around for 20 minutes trying to find an alphabetical combination that worked and didn't suck... [AUGR] was (finally) available. "Auger" seems to fit our collective driving style, too, if you don't mind co-opting a term from aviation, I guess.

Does anyone here know if the unicorn cars are saved to your gamertag or somewhere outside of your xbox hard drive? or are recoverable at all?

I had 2 of them. The Ferrari F430 Scuderia, and the Lamborghini Superleggera I think.

Last weekend my Xbox was stolen from my apartment and I've had no luck in getting it back. (My copy of Forza 4 was still in the drive as well) :(

I'm kinda agreeing with Scatterfold; people wanna play Skyrim or some poo poo let them eat cake, they paid for both games so don't cry when they want to play the other one too.

When GTCC has low attendance for our weekly races we just start shooting out invites like it's going out of style. That or we just pile into a lobby and do Bentron's famous dice racing shlick and there's GTCC, LLJK, GISH guys in our lobbies all the time. I mean it's not our fault that AUGR™ can't use a loving friends list. v:kiddo:v

Guess you missed this part of the discussion, maybe?

ANAmal.net posted:

Not to be all serious business about internet racecars, but GTCC isn't supposed to be the generic goon group, and it's not the overflow for people who missed getting into LLJK. It's a club for bros to crash into Phancypants every Wednesday and make dick joke. Dudes have been racing together for years, and while new members are certainly encouraged, we'd rather have a smaller club whose members are more active, than a full one where 90% of them are playing Skyrim all the time. If folk want to join for our weekly homoerotic book club, that's cool, but don't just pile in because the other clubs are dead, that's not how GTCC works.
That said - members of both clubs have implied that both GTCC and LLJK have gently caress-all for active members, and my understanding is that they've both got gently caress-all for active leadership (meaning nobody gets in, and nobody is kicked out) - so there's clearly a need for *somebody* who's both around (and committed to being around) and active to step the gently caress up.

Volunteer hobby groups are run by people who volunteer to run them. If they suck at running them, people don't have any fun and quit for greener pastures. If they don't suck at it, everyone has a great time. Easy Peasy.

That said, the Wednesday Night Spec Races are entirely my deal, and not a "Goon Racing Club" deal.
I tried the Wednesday Races just once as a test, to see how it'd go. It went (and is still going) well, so I decided to keep doing them.

Don't like the format of the one-hour-per-week race? Don't participate in it. Go race with GTCC. Go race with pubbies. Go do clean laps of the 'ring. Whatever.

Go forth, have some loving fun, man. Jeez. Isn't that what it's all about?

None.

Strawman argument trying to combine:
* The Wednesday Race I run (which is based around "Forza-Simming" a real world series rulebook) with:
* Setting up a Goon Car Club (and garage) that's actively maintained, unlike LLJK (for sure) and GISH (reportedly) are currently.

So, yeah.

I've been working actively with goons to get people into GTCC very recently and we don't kick people because we manage our numbers by having people we want in our club. Also I think you missed the part where GTCC is both active and -

This is exactly what we've been doing for years.

Look, I think you're misinterpreting your own argument - people ain't getting mad over AUGR, people are getting mad over the fact that you're getting all hot and bothered and calling poo poo out on everyone else. Chillax about the whole deal and you'll get REPECKT for doing your own thing.

That's all well and good but what about the downtrodden european folks :(

I'd guess there's probably still enough EU people in SAEG to keep it going if people are willing to dedicate a day for forza (god knows enough games came out recently that this is harder than it sounds), but it's pretty confusing atm working out who plans on racing with whom.

I don't care who I end up with as long as it involves cool dudes and cool time(zone)s.

Forza's netcode always fails in the most spectacular ways, and it's been that way since Forza 2 at least.

Hovercar is the safer of the two possibilities. Teleportcar is the most destructive by far.

Yeah it's really confusing to me, I'm not sure which one is supposed to be for what. I had joined GISH because LLJK was full but usually I am the only person online or maybe theres one other sometimes (central evenings) I wouldn't care that much except the matchmaking system is terrible for me and also the car garage feature is cool.

I joined augr because at the moment, lljk is kinda dead due to the leadership being AWOL. All LLJK needed was new leadership, a massive purge, and an absorbtion of GISH. Of course, then everyone left for AUGR so I figured gently caress it. There are people there so it will be nice to get into a group that has a concentration of goons racing.

I went on vacation for a week, then thanksgiving week plus Skyrim. I came back after they finally patched the 900° issue to a dead club so I joined AUGR. I can't do the scheduled races because 10pm EST is too late for me. I can't use a mic because the jack on my fanatec wheel makes a bunch of static, but I love jumping in and just doing whatever races with people who aren't pubbies. I also need people to race in rivals mode.

GISH and LLJK are dead. AUGR is the replacement, for people who still are active and read this thread. GTCC is invite-only and apparently schizophrenic.

Edit: Dunno about SAEG (Euro) or the Australia club. I'd be surprised if we actually fill AUGR, so I'd say they're welcome to pile in if those clubs are looking dead, too.

I think we should stick with AUGR. Inactivity maintenance only matters if we actually hit the 100 person limit and have more people wanting to join.
