I am surprised that this discussion comes up now and not during or right after ZCT299. It is true that I did not beat @VictorNarl's time even though I could have with that replay. The reason was that @MiDiaN already had a substantial lead in the championship, and I gave -without thinking much about it- Victor some hours to catch up. I did not interfere in the leading-time race afterwards though.

You're looking at this with hindsight. When I took the lead on June 11, I had accumulated exactly 0 hours in the lead, while you had already accumulated around 246 hours. I obviously couldn't know then that I would later end up with 76 hours to spare. At that point, every hour towards securing my 1 PTB mattered to me. That's the context I'm talking about.
-
@MiDiaN, according to the rules, all hours over 1PTB simply burn out. Argammon couldn't have prevented you (or me) from gaining 1PTB on ZCT299 with the above result of 2:31:95. He simply gained his PTB only for himself. Besides, you still lost a huge number of hours (76+) over 1PTB.
-
That's not helping a teammate but another rival. That's curious, to say the least.
-
He did block me. Watch his 2:31.95 replay. He brakes at the finish line to stay behind you while still beating me. That directly affected how much time I had left to reach 1 PTB.
-
@MiDiaN, note: no one blocked anyone on ZCT299, you got the same amount of PTB as me (1 PTB each), and you also led the most (327+ hours) if that matters. There was no way you could have gotten 2PTB in that race. https://zak.stunts.hu/articles/ptb-updates-season-2026

That's exactly my point. He didn't interfere with your PTB. He submitted the exact same time as you, which left you ahead but pushed me down. I wasn't talking about how long he was in the lead.
-
@MiDiaN, regarding ZCT299, refresh your memory and carefully review your replay submission history. Argammon hardly participated there at all and didn’t interfere with gaining any PTB since he was in the lead for only 4 minutes. https://zak.stunts.hu/articles/ptb-updates-season-2026

Neither. I'm saying that I personally don't find it motivating to challenge you.

Everybody can be beaten. @MiDiaN: I find your messages difficult to understand. Are you suggesting introducing a new rule? If so, which of the following: A) The track creator is not allowed to race on their own track, or B) the track creator does not earn any position-time bonus? Please clarify.
