[Chris Doughty]

James, can you sack me?

[antnee]

signed up, confirmed email but now the site is down :(

[Northy]

I was just going to say, I think we crashed the site guys! :woot:

G

[jim76]

James, can you sack me?


oooo, sacking an ex euro champ from my team!! with pleasure, you weren't up to scratch anyway! :lol::p

Or i can account sit for you until you return, up to you.

[Chris Doughty]

its best let a space in a 'good' team go to an active player..

get sacking! :D

[jim76]

there is a little "quick start Guide" on the batracer site that is really good.

basically it is an addictive little management game. Each day of real time, the game advances a session, ie day 1 - qualifying first race, day 2 - race, day 3 qualifying race 2 etc
For each session you have to test and set up your car and then choose the relevant strategy.

[lochness42]

Well, server responds on ping just service is unavailable
Maybe DOS attack?

[jim76]

its best let a space in a 'good' team go to an active player..

get sacking! :D


i've never sacked a team mate before!! :woot::woot:

i'll sort it once the site comes back up

[timmy121]

so like football manager but f1

[lochness42]

BATracer page is no longer down.

[jim76]

Chris, i have nominated you for the sack!

Should have a Ferrari seat up for grabs in around 36 hours if anyone wants to join me!

[J_Farthing]

[jim76]

game starts once we have enough players to start the season. don;t necessarily need all 22 cars filled. 7-8 teams should be enough

[mac]

I've joined but i'm probibly going to be whuped!:)

[Northy]

Any more? We could do with a few more :thumbsup:

G

[xjr14]

I`m also interested, but can`t find that "quick how to play guide"....:confused:

[dave g]

im away to france tonight and wont be back till tuesday..hope i dont get kicked out if i miss a race!

[jim76]

its on the right of the home page towards the bottom. Its a group of flags called "multi lingual help" (sorry, they have moved it since i last looked at it!)
here is the link to the English version, i think this is more detailed than the other languages.

don't think you get kicked out of private games, but in a public game you get kicked out if you miss more than 48 hours i think, or your team mate can sack you if you fail to do any testing laps etc on a regular basis

[xjr14]

I`m in, seems to be very interesting!....one space available at Torro Rosso...

[cwilson]

ive joined

[ashleyb4]

I cant wait for the racing to get going now red bull for the win. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

A

[xjr14]

red bull seems to be VERY competitive so far :woot:

[jim76]

don't forget there should hopefully be a seat spare in the Ferrari later this evening or in the morning, once Chris has been removed.

[stegger]

Team TOYOTA for me:thumbsup: when will the first race start???

[jim76]

ask Lee, he's in control, but as we now have around 18 people i guess it would start tomorrow sometime - Lee?

[jim76]

Just to say for anyone new joining, please join an existing team, as opposed to starting your own. This game is pretty hard if you have a one man team when it starts!

[Northy]

So I guess we have a Toyota seat and a Renault seat up for grabs :thumbsup:

G

[Lee]

I think i can start it myself when we have enough, hopefully we can get all the seats full by tomorrow night and then we can get it on!!:thumbsup:

[mac]

So I guess we have a Toyota seat and a Renault seat up for grabs :thumbsup:

G

Renault is/was when posted full!! :eh?::thumbsup:

[jim76]

Chris, my sacking doesn't seem to have worked! Maybe you are unsackable!!

I suspsect it won't let me sack you until the season actually starts as i tried to initiate the sacking again and it said i wasn't allowed at that time. I'll try once the season starts then someone can hopefully join as a mid season.

[Northy]

Renault is/was when posted full!! :eh?::thumbsup:

Really, I looked again and I can only see one Renault car :( or am I blind? :confused:

G

[mac]

not blind:p
if you look at the standings you will see a full list of drivers rather than looking at the practice times!:thumbsup:
I'm number 2 he is number 7!

[telboy]

I've just set up the Honda team. :)



Yay.

The Ferrari's aren't doing to well in practice.

[Northy]

Looks like we need 1 Honda and 1 Toyota then we could start :thumbsup:

G

[telboy]

I need a new Honda. Put it in 7th in practice, then piled it!:woot:

[jim76]

The Ferrari's aren't doing to well in practice.

Don't read too much into practice times!! ;)


although our set up is admittedly pants due to crashes!

[mac]

only need 1 more for toyota!:o

[Northy]

Come on guys, we just need 1 more player :thumbsup:

G

[stegger]

No one wants to be my team bitch at toyota then:lol:

[jim76]

anyone?

[Lee]

Qualifying will start within the next 24 hours :thumbsup:

We have 19 people playing so it looks like doughty has been sacked

Even before the season starts:confused::confused:

I heard he had a row with ebden and there was fistycuffs in the motorhome :lol:

[jim76]

lol. bloody numpty naffed off on holiday and left me! donut!

[xjr14]

any tips for a newbie?...I get it, it`s a competition, just some general things worth keeping an eye on....

[jim76]

did you read the guide? some good basics in there. just share set ups with your team mate to maximise the car set up. don;t run the risk levels too high until you find the safe levels to push at as you will crash otherwise!

[xjr14]

Yeah, I did read the guide. Got a general idea of how things work, risk levels being my main concern. So approaching the slowly, but steady from the bottom...OK....just one more quick question: Do the driver characteristics come into play when altering the risk levels?

[jim76]

yes they do. if you go for something like consistant then you can push the speed level up in a race with out crashing so easy.
pole sitter king is the only one that really affects qualifying.
thinker affects testing in that you can test at 100% without fear of crashing in practice

[jim76]

one more person? you know you want to!

[Craig]

Havent played for ages, so be gentle :D

In with a Toyota :D

[jim76]

quick Lee

Go go go go go go !!!!!

[Northy]

:thumbsup:

[Lee]

QUALLY is up!!!

[lochness42]

After my noobie practise is 6th place very good. :woot:

[jim76]

Told you to watch the Ferrari's. Fastest in first two sessions, and Chris wasn't even around to set the car up!
It still won't let me sack him which is a bit worrying, so it looks like i may be on my own this season! :(

oh well, i like a challenge

[losixxx]

bottled it when it mattered though:p long live honda!!:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[lochness42]

It still won't let me sack him which is a bit worrying, so it looks like i may be on my own this season!
It's interesting because I joined one public game day ago and one driver was sacked during warmup.

[jim76]

Lee - as game creator can you see if you can sack Chris D? Just wonder if you have the power as the perosn who set up the league. I thought he was supposed to be removed after 3 days of not logging in anyway.

[lochness42]

Just little thought - don't you need driver that will replace Doughty to sack?:confused:

[lochness42]

First race is over :)

[lochness42]

Chris was sacked succesfully.

[jim76]

i found out how to do it. Just need someone else to join the game mid season and replace anyone who hasn't logged in for more than 3 days. One of my work mates has taken the seat.

[lochness42]

Well, now I don't know, if Col May is playing or not.

[Northy]

Why is the game going so fast? I thought it was 1 session a day. A 2 day regional really cocked up the start to my season :thumbdown:

G

[Lee]

G, it should just be 1 session a day :confused:

I havent checked it since friday though, ill have a look tonight when i get home :)

[jim76]

it has been going at one session a day!
quali started straight away when Lee pressed the big button. you normally have 12 hours or so before quali once the game is officially started.

[Northy]

How come we are about to start the second race then? I didn't get chance to practise, qualify or warmup :(

[jim76]

first quali happened when Lee started it Friday
first race saturday
next quali sunday
second race today

[mattym0310]

How come we are about to start the second race then? I didn't get chance to practise, qualify or warmup :(

I didn't get to practice or qualify either Northy [because of the regional]. Still scraped 6th though :)

[dave p hall]

there's no rallying game's:lol:just boring tarmac:lol:

[lochness42]

Fine - my team is back in full power :lol:

[Lee]

Right chaps, i know racing seems to get in the waf of peoples fight for the batracer crown so on national weekends would people like me to pause it from the thursday evening and then re-start it monday?

I dont mind either way but a simple yes/no would be good :thumbsup:

[Northy]

Yes :thumbsup:

[lochness42]

No problem. I'll have this weekend race too.

[timmy121]

that's cool with me

[footey]

good idea lee
:thumbsup:

[Northy]

Bahrain qualifying is done :lol:

G

[Lee]

for everyone or just you G:confused:

[Northy]

Everyone :thumbsup:

[Lee]

oh balls, how did we do :confused:

[Northy]

Secret :woot:

[Lee]

You`re a homo!!

I wont be able to see till about 7 :thumbdown:

[jim76]

you were top in the first two runs, then bottled it big time Lee!!! 10th.

[Northy]

I was 7th, you were 9th - at least we're in the top 10 this time :woot:
I had an "untidy" lap, you "over cooked it" - so more speed to come :thumbsup:

I'm out tonight so I'll let you tweak setup further in warmup and I'll finish it off later :lol:

G

[Lee]

oooh thats no good, the first two were on hards too as well if i remember correctly :woot:

I think ill turn down the effort thing a bit :thumbsup:

[lochness42]

I was first (my first pole in batracer ever) :thumbsup: Yeah in first 2 rounds of qualify I was second (hard slicks). Lee you was only fastest in round one (you got excelent lap with softs and I was only 0.083 seconds slower on hards), Morgan was no.1 in second.

[mw02veg]

ahhh man i missed it :thumbdown: cant believe it!!!! would of showed u all lol. sorry jim only just picked up ur pm

[lochness42]

Try to join mid season, maybe there are some ppl that haven't logged in for more than 3 days.

[Craig]

The last two races have had good qualifying from the toyota, shame my teammate cant get it toghether in the race, now on to the race.

Dont think i got the race pace, but we shall see. Really enjoying this season, times are really close.

[telboy]

Blimey, Honda is doing better than I expected! 2nd in the championship.

Cooool.

[losixxx]

tel copy my setup using kooltools and adjust it a little we should be spot on for the race then:thumbsup:

[jim76]

ahhh man i missed it :thumbdown: cant believe it!!!! would of showed u all lol. sorry jim only just picked up ur pm

no problem Grant. I thought after i sent it you were away at the belgium GP and had the euros as well so wouldn;t be around for much of the season?
But as suggested, if you go to join mid season and type in the game number i gave you it will give you a list of people that you can replace. I'm sure the lone team mate will appreciate your help!

[telboy]

tel copy my setup using kooltools and adjust it a little we should be spot on for the race then:thumbsup:


haha, how do you think I'm doing so well!.:lol:

I'm crap when it come to the set-ups.:woot::p

[mattym0310]

Ash hasn't been on so i'm alone :(

[lochness42]

Ash hasn't been on so i'm alone :(
I was in this situation during first 2 races, I hope we will change our positions now (to top 3 of course) :)

[losixxx]

haha, how do you think I'm doing so well!.:lol:

I'm crap when it come to the set-ups.:woot::p


you could have told me that before i joined the team:woot:

[mattym0310]

with the help from Ash I got second overall I think but now im not doing very well at all :(

[jim76]

ASH! pull your finger out!!

[mattym0310]

you tell him! :D

[losixxx]

tel you've got to pull your finger out with this car set your killing us man:woot::lol: 88% pants:thumbdown::p

[Craig]

Damm. Northy taking me out in the toyota....Was on for a close finish if it wasnt for that!!!

Just wish my team mate would get up there and give me a hand :D

[Lee]

Where did i finish?:confused:

[lochness42]

Where did i finish?:confused:
Home?

[mw02veg]

cant join mid season????

[jim76]

cant join mid season????

you clicked on join mid season game?
typed in game number (28339 i think? in previous thread anyway)
should give a list of names?
click on one, and it should ask for game password which was Fister?

If you can;t join it may be because everyone has been active but i doubt that

[mattym0310]

how do I sack Ash when he is the "team leader"??

he is doing nothing for the team, not practicing or anything.. I don't even think he has finished a race?!?!

[stegger]

Got 1 point, what more do you want:p:p:p
Qualifying has gone well for the next race :thumbsup::thumbsup:

[jim76]

there is an option under "office" for sackings. you can nominate him there. But if he hasn;t logged in for three days he will automatically be up for replacing for anyone who wants to join midseason

just checked the mid season listing, only Anreas Daving from Williams is up for replacing. Best sack Ash anyway!

[losixxx]

bit like his 1/10th driving then:woot::thumbsup:

[dave g]

i seem to be alone too...my teamate is still on the bog i think.

[Lee]

I think if northy doesn`t get his arse back from the hospital soon i will be sacking him :lol:

[Lee]

[mw02veg]

ive just joined im in racing the williams team looks like im on my own though :thumbdown:

[dave g]

same here..its bad enough already in the force india,even worse on your own!

[mw02veg]

its a shame cos is so good to play ppl just cant stick at it!! i really enjoy just a shame i missed the start of it all but hey ho. nearly got a perfect set up on my own anyway lol

[Northy]

I shit out cos my first child was being born :woot::woot::woot:

G

[lochness42]

Congrats G.

[J_Farthing]

Not quite allone in the Williams i was waiting for a replacement team mate so i took a back seat now i have a team mate i shall be there

[Lee]

G, get online and update the setup, its nearly there, :thumbsup:

Fastest in warmup so far:thumbsup:

[jim76]

Ferrari's storm throught the field to make up for the poor qualifying! Poor Ash got well shunted off on the first lap!

[jim76]

Not quite allone in the Williams i was waiting for a replacement team mate so i took a back seat now i have a team mate i shall be there

you best log in quick and object to the sacking then or you will be out! :lol:

[dave g]

my car is shite lol..reliability problems again

[Craig]

Forgot to check the weather!! Damm ferraris must of had some inside info from the FIA as the setups where pretty good. :thumbsup:

[mattym0310]

Poor Ash got well shunted off on the first lap!

He doesn't care.. he doesn't log in to it anyway :(

[mattym0310]

for some reason my car decided to pit on the first lap :confused:

[stegger]

for some reason my car decided to pit on the first lap :confused:
You must have been on the wrong tires:p:p:woot:

[jim76]

for some reason my car decided to pit on the first lap :confused:

yeah it's all about your tyre sliders. If it's your first time then i would strongly recommend reading the tyre guides for changing weather etc as it gets a little tricky.

also you need to adjust your set up if the quali/race is going to be wet. the engineer gives you advice on how much to alter by from full dry to full wet. obviously if the weather is somewhere in the middle then only adjust a certain %

[mattym0310]

I'm pretty sure I started on hards or softs and it changed me onto softs.

[jim76]

again, could be you started on hards and didn;t have them ticked to use, but had softs ticked instead, hence it changed you straight away.

[Lee]

Anyone got the results from qualifying?

[jim76]

ferrari 1st and 2nd. you were 5th

[Lee]

Where is G unit when you need him.

Being the team manager i might sack him, i didnt put paternity leave in his contract :p:lol:

[dave g]

i hear hes been testing some new 'airbags' out...

[losixxx]

come on tel pull your finger out m8:lol: i will have to consider sacking you before long ;-)

[timmy121]

when we starting again

[Lee]

Today, I`ll get G to restart it, my internet at home has gone off its tits.

Typical :(

[losixxx]

come on someone pull there finger out and get it re-started;):D

[Chris Doughty]

am I still in it or did I get fully sacked off?

[lochness42]

am I still in it or did I get fully sacked off?
You're sacked... :yawn:

[jim76]

am I still in it or did I get fully sacked off?

sorry Chris, you may be able to win Nationals, but i need real quality in my team!! lol
Make sure you're not planning any trips when the next season starts!

took me a fair while to figure out how to shift you!

[losixxx]

is anyone going to re-start the game???:confused:

[losixxx]

someone either re-start or cancel the game and start a new one its getting a bit boring now...:thumbsup:

[Lee]

If G doesnt start it today , will when i get in, my net should be back up and working today :thumbsup:

Sorry about the delay chaps :(

[jim76]

another quality avatar change!

[Northy]

Lee-Mag, did you start it again? :confused:

G

[Lee]

Nope, t-internet is still down.

Bloody Sky :(

[Northy]

PM me and I'll get it started again! :thumbsup:

G

[Northy]

Everyone it is: GAME ON :thumbsup:
