Aug 1

• Miro
  sorry for the unfinished one, here is the correct lap
• CTG
  Seems to be 4th but still... so far from the GTOs. Btw Friker is hiding for sure.
• CTG
  It was a nice track anyway, even with Ferrari GTO (except that dirty 360+x degree turn at ~46-50 s).
• dreadnaut
  Suddenly, I'm not newbie anymore
• CTG
  Strange, as you joined in October 2012.
• CTG
  Hmmmm... new stuff on the site!
• dreadnaut
  Experiments!

Aug 2

• dreadnaut
  Happy birthday Barnabás!
• Zak McKracken
  10 replays sent during quiet days - now on the scoreboard! Update: later, probably tomorrow.
• Renato Biker
  Great 2*D!
• CTG
  WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS, DIESEL JOE!!!
• Duplode
  YEAH! Fifty races on this still feels great. Thank you RBK, always keeping me on my toes
• Duplode
  And that's a good comeback, DieselJoe!

Aug 3

• AbuRaf70
  Feliz Cumpleaños, Dreadnaut...!!!!
• Duplode
  Happy birthday dreadnaut
• Renato Biker
  Feliz aniversário, dreadnaut!
• Renato Biker
  RBK?
• Duplode
  I thought that was the standard three-letter arcade abbreviation for "Renato Biker"? ("Standard", as in "I made it up and assumed everybody else thought the same" )
• CTG
  Actually I thought it's rather RBI. But RBK sounds good, too.
• CTG
  Happy birthday, dreadnaut (& Svenne)!
• DieselJoe
  Congratulations to Duplode for winning ZCT144, to Svenne and dreadnaut for their birthdays and to Zak for still hosting this great competition! :-) And @CTG: as I already said, thanks for the Jaguar hint. ;-)
• dreadnaut
  Thank you everyone! :°)
• CTG
  You are welcome, but it's still an unexpected good result!
• CTG
  (actually it reminds me on Pécs race, USC 2004/05)

Aug 4

• Thanks for all the regular, irregular and comeback racers who joined in July! An interesting race and a wide variety of tracks on the scoreboard. Good to see, but I understand the main driving force behind this was probably the love-hate relationship with the GTO.
  Anyway, the podium is full with the Ferrari - and its master, Duplode managed to beat Renato on the second place. CTG finished third, ahead of the rest of the bunch. Congrats, guys!
  As for August, I was honestly anticipating a guest track, but nobody felt like sending one. So please welcome our guest for 2004, 100 tracks from the past: ZCT44, alias Euro Zone!
  What? a retro-track again? - you may ask?
  Well, sort of, but as the Euro Zone was extended in the past decade, so was the track - you will have the chance to jump through the Channel and visit the UK and Ireland. I wouldn't say roads are so great there - don't forget to drive on the left side of the road! :)
  Enjoy, and hope to see good activity in August!
• DieselJoe
  I still knew that track's name but had to research for my result. I didn't remember I was only 0,5 seconds from victory once! :-D
• CTG
  That one was a legendary race.
• Zak McKracken
  the track is up! update finished
• Zak McKracken
  this was fun!

Aug 5

• Duplode
  Looks promising Especially if, as I suspect, Rotoi's Z144 lap will prevent an Indy race...
• CTG
  böff
• Duplode
  The delta was not intentional
• CTG
  Indy replay is still faster.
• CTG
  (even with Rotoi's sabotage)
• DieselJoe
  Wow, the Balaton is huge! :-)
• CTG
  It's not Lake Balaton, but maybe the flood in June.

• New article on the site! Duplode wrapped up how stressed he was in the past five years the past five years of Stressed - the Stunts Resource Editor.
  Enjoy, and of course new articles are welcome anytime.
• CTG
  DRE: is the archive really BÖFF-reduced?
• CTG
  Btw I have to tell this year is full of great tracks.
• dreadnaut
  @CTG Indeed, extremely long böffs will collapse to a shorter böff. I'll probably copy the code to the home page too :-p
• dreadnaut
  Actually, I don't like böff-limiting, but some of them where 3-4 *screens* tall. I might tweak the code to a böff-log function.
• Duplode
  Experiments indicate that the böffs are still there; they are just not being displayed in the news archive. That pleases this history preservation freak very much
• dreadnaut
  Definitely, I wouldn't dare delete stuff from the database. You can now disable böff-reduction by adding &fullböff to the url
• CTG
  What do you do with "BÜÖFF" then?
• CTG
  and other versions
• dreadnaut
  The system is flexible, but I am sure you can find a way around it. It's just there to make multi-kilobyte böffs readable, e.g. 11/04/2012.
• dreadnaut
  2013 sorry, not 2012.
• dreadnaut
  Do you want a checkbox to disable böff-reduction? :-p
• Akoss Poo
  In Stunts Wiki, somebody wrote 'The Böff in Stunts culture'. So, when we restrict the böffs on a Stunts related page, we damage the Stunts culture. Is it worthy?
• Duplode
  A possible compromise might be adding line breaks every 40th Ö or so, just to avoid screwing up too much the flexible width layout.
• Duplode
  Or a checkbox to *enable* böff-reduction, visible only when there actually are massive böffs on screen.
• Duplode
  Dear me, that is a surreal discussion
• CTG
  What else should I say? B Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö Ö F F ! ! ! Böff dampening: < 1dB
• Duplode
  The böff logger is already working it seems; check this post in the archives

• Renato Biker
  My ghost has birthday today, congrats.
• CTG
  the ghost's ghost? lol
• CTG
  kidding
• CTG
  btw where's your 1:15, biker?
• CTG
  it's so unusual to see that you don't want to steal the racing mood of less addicted competitors
• Akoss Poo
  Test lap.
• CTG
  Quite a weak one, Mr. Poo!
• CTG
  Stealing your teammate's LT? Btw it's still too slow.
• Alan Rotoi
  You are not teammates, at least for the system.
• Akoss Poo
  Just what you do @ Hönefoss.
• CTG
  There's PTB, not LTB, dickhole!
• CTG
  Alan: thanks for the reminder! Zak: please fix the membership thing! Thank you in advance!
• Akoss Poo
  It's called PTB, but actually depends on leading time because of the multiplier.
• CTG
  Question B: are you fighting for overall positions?
• Akoss Poo
  I'm just feeling the joy of leading a ZSC race after 8 years. Cut my dick if I get a bonus point in the end and you don't.
• CTG
  So much for your joy.
• Akoss Poo
  Though I can still finish 9 races this year. But I don't think it is possible, because of shitty cars and ?tracks.
• Akoss Poo
  CTG: it's so usual to see that you want to steal the racing mood of less addicted competitors.
• Akoss Poo
  You should say sorry to Renato Biker.
• CTG
  Shortest books: Looping Warriors - Team unit
• Akoss Poo
  Why? This doesn't bother team scoring.
• CTG
  You don't keep the non-existing team order.
• Akoss Poo
  What? I think you forgot to share us your strong replays in the past month... Now don't wait for ours.
• CTG
  Check the proper topic... My GTO replay was there.
• CTG

• Akoss Poo
  I think you had a ZR1 replay before. Let alone your earlier 1.23 replay. Btw you will be the last of the serious racers and I will be the first of the hobby racers on the final monthly scoreboard. Renato, Friker, Duplode, come on!
• CTG
  I don't think so.
• CTG
  Who cared about GT3... I thought you will use GTO.
• Akoss Poo
  Non-Indy powergear with this car... with my keyboard which I always emphasize... no way... @ "I don't think so." -> check ZCT144 scoreboard... it may happen again.
• CTG
  (Btw I had Jaguar replay before...)
• CTG
  Check some former scoreboards from this season.

Aug 9

• Zak McKracken
  strange, CTG, in the database you are listed as a Looping Warrior... :-O
• Zak McKracken
  and points are also calculated accordingly (check the team standings). It just does not show on the scoreboard :-O
• Alan Rotoi
  I have a theory...
• CTG
  tell
• Alan Rotoi
  No, I'm superstitious.

Aug 10

• Duplode
  Happy birthday, JTK!
• CTG
  Happy birthday, JTK!
• CTG
  Quick try with GT3. There's a great potential in this car.
• Alan Rotoi
  Yes I thought the same when I saw Dup's time. I'll give a try.
• CTG
  It's really worth to try. Some amateur solutions still remained in the middle sectors.

Aug 11

• AbuRaf70
  Feliz Cumpleaños, JTK...!!!

Aug 12

• Chulk
  First quick try with Duplode's "can't turn in 3º gear" car.
• Chulk
  Try 2 (ok, you could turn in 3º gear).

Aug 15

• CTG
  Hey Biker, you screwed it up! If you came with this replay 5 hours earlier, Duplode and you would have the chance to take all the LTB points.
• CTG
  Nope, sorry, checked the wrong line - a lot more than 5 hours... It's still morning...
• CTG
  Btw happy birthday, Ala... hmmm... Arg... khmkhm... AYRTON!
• Duplode
  Hail to the king! Happy birthday Ayrton.
• AbuRaf70
  Feliz Cumpleaños, Maestro Ayrton...!!!
• Akoss Poo
  CTG, that means you could (should) have let me lead for 4 more hours, even if you insist on your bonus point.

Aug 16

• CTG
  Yeah, I was aware of Biker's late response.

Aug 17

• Alan Rotoi
  I miss a full INDY race.
• Duplode
  Z135 was quite good, but you did it with Acura...

Aug 18

• Alan Rotoi
  It was almost a year ago :O
• CTG
  Alan: PG or simply a fast track?
• Alan Rotoi
  Both!
• CTG
  Then ask Zak/Duplode/Poo to do something for it.

Aug 19

• Dreadnaut
  Oh, a plane with wireless! Pity I can't get my new replay to send :-/

Aug 20

• Duplode
  Someone should try Jaguar next...

Aug 21

• Alan Rotoi
  There are people racing from only four different countries this month

Aug 22

• Duplode
  That is surprising, given that the circuit runs through all of Europe this month...
• CTG
  And only two countries from Europe: Hungary and the 90° turned Hungary.
• dreadnaut
  Hungary and fake Mexico!
• dreadnaut
  A not so interesting replay, just to test the newsbox in progress.
• dreadnaut
  And another test...

Aug 25

• CTG
  Recycle from the old HDD.
• CTG
  Improving the last 10 seconds.

Aug 26

• Friker
  I\'ve hit the road again. NoRH again.

Aug 27

• dreadnaut
  Yay!™ Friker\\\'s back!
• dreadnaut
  Argh, quotes, of course I forgot about quotes. Well, tomorrow.

Aug 29

• dstien
  Nice article, Duplode. Years sure flies when you're having fun.

  Happy birthday Chulk!
• Friker
  Happy Birthday, Chulk!
• CTG
  Happy birthday, Mr. Estimator!
• Duplode
  Feliz cumpleaños, Chulk!
• Duplode
  Now that Akoss' lap is not a Jaguar one any more I need to find another pretext to justify a full redrive :rolleyes:
• CTG
  The pie is getting warm...
• AbuRaf70
  Feliz Cumple, Chulk...!!! que tengas un muy buen día junto a tus seres queridos...!!!

  Where can I get the special cars for the race this time? It seems as if I miss a couple of cars..
• SuperBrian
  First try.
• Usrin
  Happy birthday, Chulk et al.!

  SuperBrian: choose Downloads on this page (on the left), and get the 2013 package.

  THX! I'll be back tomorrow..

Aug 31

• CTG
  whohooo, all the loopings in top10!
• SuperBrian
  Not anymore..
• CTG
  You bastard!
• Duplode
  Probably not in contention. Probably...

  Don't pretend that you are slow, 'cause you are not.

  I would be glad to beat RBI's current time. Giving 40% for that - not more because of the aloholic effect.

  Okay, that's the real lap. Enjoy your victory, random Brasil guy!
