S7R Forza 4 E-Class Tourney - Season 3

Lol, well obviously any time anyone dies it's because of lag - not the other guy doing something better/right.

haha, this is so true.

I typically don't blame lag (unless it's Atrum in Forza).  If I'm not playing a multiplayer game well enough, I pretty much yell "ahhh I suck at this game!".  I did also blame lag when I played LoL on my laptop since whenever everyone would jump into a 5v5, my laptop was sh1tty enough to freeze for about a second and a half, which is pretty vital to get your skills off in that game.

Hope you guys have fun! I'll be missing this one, so get the points that you can. I plan on coming back with a bang in D class!

Good racing tonight guys.  I made some stupid mistakes tonight so sorry if anybody got the wrong end of them.  Luckily most of them were by myself but I think I messed up Interceptor on one of the races and got involved with Kenny on Nurb but that one's on me for not saying I was coming on the inside.

Should have run the Elan on all tracks but I had a good time mixing up my cars and actually getting up into the middle of the pack this time.  Sucked that I got busted up on Positino, but that happens to me every time I race that track, be it my fault or someone else.

Good racing tonight.  I enjoyed the back and forth with Puppet and Knight Owl

Thinking that was my last Forza tourney

I just don't have the time to be competitive... and if I can't play to win, its just not worth it to me.  Personally, I like just showing up and racing, with minimal work outside of tourney night.  Its very clear I can't complete like that and expect to have a good time...

I'm not the type of person that just plays anything for fun... "Fun" for me is competition (not winning necessarily) but take the chance to win out of the equation and it just not worth it to me

At this point I'm really considering just canceling my Forza 5 preorder as well.

Sounding like this season is starting to take a hit on racers.   We started strong with 12, how many will be racing in the coming weeks?

Jeez, and after we made sure that Wiggles would be able to attend, he's bailing on us .  This tournament seemed to go a lot better because it didn't look like there were as many accidents this time around and less raging.  Only time I ever got into an accident was on the last track from Wiggles (on both attempts of the track lol).  I loved the awesome launch of my Lotus Elan, and was pretty thankful because I'd start out near the back of the pack almost every time.  That launch pretty much put me from the back to the front almost instantly.  If anyone has any events happen to them that they'd like to see what all happened, I should have every race saved except for the last one.  Just post your requests.  For now, I only have Interceptor's wipe out on Positino (?) because that's the only one I saw.

Husker, always give warning when coming on the inside.   Or at least use protection.

I know.  Normally I can anticipate what's about to happen and pull out in time.  

I find it funny that Reggie has not raced on a single track with us... yet he is ahead of Coolhand who participated for almost the whole tournament a couple weeks ago.  All because Reggie got one point for attempting to participate with us until everyone kicked him out because he was being blamed for Kenny dropping (which apparently wasn't the case).

 What!?  It was competitive as hell last night.  Ok, maybe not for 1st or 2nd, but that race for the podium spot was intense, at least for me.  3rd-5th could have been completely different with just a few spots changed in the last race.

Must be the "if you aint first, you're last" mentality...

It was intensely good racing last night.  And the race for 1st-5th was amazingly close all night.  If that is not fun I don't know what is.  I had a great time and can't wait to do it again.

Geez, with what looks like at least 3 people going to the PS4 and one more cancelling their Forza 5 pre-order I may need to think about not getting Forza 5 at launch of the XB1.  I hadn't played Forza 4 in a year and a half until the last couple months, and that's only due to people here.

Wow, I could have totally angled my car, but since I don't have the Porsche DLC Apex's car took up almost that entire space, lol.

I wouldn't sweat it much Husker.  A ton of people will still be getting Forza 5 and it is usually a blast right at first.  Activity will actually be higher than normal and a lot of guys that have "retired" will be back in action.  Sticky for one, probably others like Glock, Klown etc... It should be good times.

I'm almost thinking the same. The only reason I'm getting Forza 5 is to race with the people here. If there aren't any people to race with, then what would be the point in buying the game?  I don't know.  I'll probably still be getting it, but it probably won't take precedence over other games I'll be getting.
