i leave this thread alone due to IRL stuff and you decent into anarchy....wow....
I am truly disappointed. Here I thought the Forza challenge will be a fun little thing between friends to do. It's worked in the past so why not now right.....WRONG!!!! Every week someone seems to find something to complain about and make this into such a complicated mess. I'm sorry, but I'm disappointed and really annoyed as to what has happened here this week.
Let me tell you all my thinking. I do not like the boring challenges as they are right now. I can see whats going to happen; we are going to get to a point where it's just everyone in something like 2 or 3 cars that are actually the fastest cars for the class, trying to compete, and in all honesty, that will become quickly boring. I don't want this challenge to become a race-by-number thing. I don't want to have to use the same car over and over again, or only take the cars that are actually the fastest for the class, because that's boring. I want to drive something exciting, something difficult, something challenging, something fun.
So I though; hey, why not introduce a Bonus challenge where the challenger can add a COMPLETELY OPTIONAL set of rules that will be added to the current challenge. And to sweeten the deal for that, I'll award 5 points to each person that does the challenge. Simple right?.....
So that was my thinking. That is my honest opinion. That is what I was aiming for. I thought, hey, this is a group of really cool people and we can totally wing some additional rules with no problem. I mean its not like we are competing for a prize or anything. Well, it seems not.
The Forza subreddit had a very similar challenge that they ran for a few months. After a while it was stopped because people got bored with the normal "race in class" challenge, and the participation has dwindled. So to keep things fresh and going, why not do something interesting here?
I am not here to point fingers, I am not here to police anyone, I am not here to marshal every and any decision. I'm here to race against mates and have a good time. And that's all we should be focusing on. Nothing else!
With all that said and done here is what I propose:
*All Challenges will be set and restricted only by something Forza can filter on. These are Class, Year and Manufacturer. When it's your chance to add a challenge, this is the only stuff you pick. You pick the Class that the cars are limited to, and if you like, and Year or any Manufacturer you like. That is it. No other restrictions will be allowed within the challenge.
*It will happen that there is a time already logged on the track by someone. We've played the game long enough to have raced pretty much on every track with a multitude of cars, so I'm sure people will have trouble with additional times. Should that happen, and your time cannot be beaten in that week, we will require a screenshot of the lap
*If you want to challenge the community to a mini challenge which does not form part of the normal weekly challenge, we can make an arrangement with the communities permission. Just let me know and we'll talk it out.
