The screenshots folder should create itself when you hit F11 ingame, making your first screenshot.

Looking at MV's site, if he came back with bot designs identical to the ones under "RA2 Bots", he would fall into the "Semi-Above-Average Noob" category. Its amazing what bot building has become. And whats with the double wedges on Some Dumb Popup (Under Moar ???). And one of Z_A's popups looks exactly like Bombshell but with different wedges. :O

It can be real money like through Paypal, but I have preferred to be payed in iRacing Gift Cards (real money as well), which give you iRacing Credits which you buy iRacing things with. I can extend my membership or buy tracks/cars so I can complete a series schedule or have the car to paint. One more paint and I complete the schedule for the series I am running (Late Models), and then I will probably start asking for Paypal so I get some actual cash out of it. The gift cards can be anywhere from 10-1000 dollars, so it leaves the payer the choice of what they want to pay.

huh?

You don't really make them and then sell them, someone posts a request on the iRacing forums, and whether or not they are willing to pay. Its 25% skill/recognition and 75% getting there first.

1/2 Voicing opinion

1/2 Thanking you for finding the car list because I'm lazy so I posted to make the thread more active because frankly its rather dead.

1771
My only reccomendation is to pause on the stat screens lol but I will try to make them longer.

And I will check to see if Crocodile gets OOTA. It should IIRC...

Hello Somebody, Apologies for this informal message, but I suppose there is no other way that this can be done. Why am I sending YOU this message? Well, I suppose you seem to be a pretty good guy who is adept at spreading a word or two. What I am about to tell you may shock you, give you mixed emotions, etc. and whoever you tell afterward (Or not depending on who knows who I am). I only ask that you don't respond to this message. Just listen to what I want you to do. Whoever you tell is totally your business and I actually advise that you DO tell what I am going to tell you. Copy and paste this message if you want. I don't care anymore.

You see, I have found out recently that ACAMS (the one providing me webspace), announced on my tournament that I am hosting advertisements on my brackets page. That, and basically the fact that I am simply taking too long to continue the tournament, perhaps in reference to my shortcomings with college courses, my current illness, and so on. He says that If I don't post a video within Two-three days that he will take action (basically in my opinion meaning that he will close my tournament). This is something that is not very alarming to me. He then adds that after I am finished with this tournament then he will be locking up the website. along with not letting anyone else host (Actual thread message).

This partly is of my concern, because the sites of BBEANS and the other tournaments will be in jeopardy of  being closed down. And I don't want to be the reason behind it all. There are other minor issues that I have not addressed, but I guess I don't want to bore you more than necessary. This isn't a rant about how I've been treated and such, nor am I offended in any way.  But all in all, I am officially ending ELBITE.

Now this is where you come in, statistically speaking, you have the best bot with the best possible chance at winning. So as a  christmas present, I'm sending you the Holy Jagged Blade. I really wish I haven't done it like this, being that some may see it as unfair, but oh well. Take good care of it! Copy and paste the folder into your components. She's yours.

(link removed because its mine  :evilsmile: )

As for me... I'm officially leaving gametechmods. You can tell this to anyone you wish, they'll find out eventually. I suppose I just can't make the time to spend it here anymore, and things will just worsen from this point out. For all parties. A tournament bail? Yes. From Gigafrost? Yes. Even though he promised not to? Life is very unexpected. I have now have serious responsibilities in my life both physical and with my own career, and if I continue to ignore them, well... Let's just say that I can't. And I am willing to make the sacrifice in order to better my own being. Even if that means that I am practically destroying my reputation.

On that note, of course as you know, this also means that The Fear and Respect Ratings/Grudge Ally List is now kaput, or at least, I won't be in charge of it anymore. That is for you guys to decide who does what with the system.

I hope you have a good evening. And I hope you and the other community keep their passion for the building of bots alive. My last burden on you is to at least Send ACAMS and the team my deepest apologies and much love and appreciation for the thing's they've done for me throughout the years, and Click, JoeBlo, and Madiaba for being there when I really didn't deserve their help. I do not want to leave on a bad note and I appreciate their efforts in dealing with me and my crazy life. God Bless all of you guys and keep the peace.

~Gig

I got this from Gig on the 16th. I sent him PMs back and tried emailing him (his email address was expired), and I sent this to the mod staff before posting it here. I figured it should be posted just to clue people in on some things. I hate to be the bringer of bad news, but I can't exactly say that this is good news in this PM.

I almost thought that too in the third round. It seems to be a freak occurrence to last the whole match, although DHV2 usually lasts a little while before flipping back onto its wheels.

And yes, I won 2-1 with 2 TKOS and LLB getting 1 WBP.

1774
I don't think so...

1775
Its LLBs bot, and thanks.

1776
DP ITS UP!!!!

1777
Uploading...

1778
Its going to take you a while to copy it theres so many weapons lol.

Also, Me vs. Little lost bot is being edited right now. Just have to make the bot splashes and it will be uploadable.

123, I won't pull you from the tournament because you put in some very good bots and you still have a good chance to win some matches. And anyone who is surprised by the arena, its your own fault as it is sitting in the DSL in every competitor's computers, there to check out, test, etc. Obviously some people did (CB, me removing the back wheelguards on EFIE), and some didn't (123, Vertigo's guards). That's your problem, not mine. It was in the first post, with a picture, and yes, I modded nothing of the arena besides putting on the skin.
