Just read this in the Batracer forums:
3) The race commentary will now attempt to decide who was to blame when their is a collision between cars, based on relative aggression settings and if the player was over-driving the car, amongst other factors. If no single driver is at fault, it will be recorded as a racing incident - otherwise watch out for varying degrees of blame being described! Previously the commentary made no indication of blame so it was always open to debate if a certain player had went crazy with their settings. Having said that - this function is only intended as a bit of fun and isn't always accurate - so just because a player is blamed for a single collision don't automatically assume they have their settings set to the max - it may simply be that the other driver was driving like such a pussy cat that the other drivers more average settings were considered comparatively aggressive. ;)
Good thing it wasn't introduced during our game, it would all be saying: "Caused by Helmersson" or something everytime I was involved in any incidents.... :P

BATracer is really annoying me at the moment. I have 3 games i am involved. And none of my team-mates post their results. I've messaged them all and still they choose to ignore me. :rant:

I hate that,... I have, fortunately, settings-posting mates, and I am 2nd in both championships. Gotta like it!

How about we set-up a "clan" for us TBLers? I've been looking into joining 1 for a while now...

Maybe a hockey related clan, or even a TBL clan. Someone with Kool Tools would of course need to create it? What do people think?

I'm in a clan already, but I'm definately in for a TBL clan. :thup:

But first I will tell the leader of my old clan I want to join in on their games as well, at the moment I'm in a public Le Mans Enduro Series game with that clan.

After a message from Selne I got my mind cleared and realised that the clan thing is not a good idea, as we are just too few that play regularly. :(

I hope you are not too disappointed, Joe. :cry:

It would be nice if the TBL members would be represented with groups in every game out there. But if we are honest, most people on this site joined only because of EHM and on other subjects have their own life..

The guys that play other games as well and show up regularly here to share their exprerience.. there are not many of them here. :cry:

I would love to, that's for sure, and I won't have enough till I kick Joey's ass big time. :-D

But Joey is right, we should attract more people to this game, 8 is not enough.

more participants = more asses to kick

I think I have just won a BTCC Championship. Although I ended up 2nd, this guy who was 1st, is an instructor, and said that it doesn't count for him, and I will be awarded as a winner. So...Yay!

Anyone who can make a logo for our clan?

I'm not good at either Photoshop or GIMP. :dunno:

Here's the requirements:
The logo you upload must be JPEG format of exactly 200x60 pixels and no larger than 32.00kb.

Use the colours that the text "The Blue Line" got on our banner here, and maybe a race car of some sort in it.

Not a good race for me and Selne in our Honda team in the real name game at BATracer, both of us were out before we even had run 10 laps. :( :cry: ](*,)

That's nothing to smile about. [-(

But congrats to your 6th, but I should have been ahead of you if I had finished the race. We all know that. :-p :-D

Congrats to get Selne(=Reger), he's a great teammate! :thup: :-D

And now Rougesang has joined Batracer, and the TBL Racing Clan, now we just need two more until we are a active clan...and one until we are ten players so we're able to start a F1 game. :thup:

So people, JOIN!
