Sweden is f*cking horrible. What a hateful location.

BTW can we rename the league to the 'Who will finish 2nd league?' I mean it's pretty obvious whose going to win every time.

I can leave it if you want to? It's really no problem for me.

It mirrors the WRC for realism ;)

I can see it from his and others point of view though, and I really don't mind leaving it seeing as I'm not a big fan of leagues anyway. If I make others happy in the process it's a nice bonus. Was fun though, Ryu has set stuff up well.

Right, left the league... but still on the leaderboard somehow. Maybe it takes a while for me to vanish! :D

Well, no need to take things so far. If Porkhammer doesn't want to be the "Sebastien Loeb/Ogier of DR" then if he and everyone else don't mind, I can simply put a point penalty on him after every event, depending on his position, so he's always at 0 (or some other handicap to keep him at low point amounts, etc.).

This way he can get in the leagues and enjoy them, while everyone else will be fighting for the win. I think it's a lot better solution then just making someone leave because he's too good. I've been in this situation in another game, where someone was saying "what's the point of entering a time attack contest when Ryu is gonna come in and just dominate it?" (mind you, I never joined those contests anyway, because I prefer actual competition over the "who can drive the closest to perfect run").

So, who's up for this solution? Maybe someone has a better idea?

It's none of my concern anymore as I have already left the league. It really doesn't matter. I'm not going to lose sleep over it. :D

Understandable, but I personally don't like idea of someone not being able to participate simply because he's too good and others can't win. Even if it's the "take a bullet for the team" mentality, which I still don't agree with.

@Rallycameraman Not sure if you're implying that Porkhammer went for the "Drama Queen", but if yes, keep in mind you were the first to... well, dramatise, let's be honest. And you put him in this situation effectively, so what do you expect him to do?

In any case, I really don't want this kind of fight/argument/whatever you want to call this happen. It's a problem and Porkhammer went with his simple solution of leaving, while I think we should come up with a solution so not only he can participate but everyone else can participate more competitively.
In other words, let's think up of a solution rather than bickering amongst ourselves like some small kids. Prove that you guys can deal with things like adults... well, not like adults, but in a positive manner.

For crying out loud, if I wouldn't screw up in Monte Carlo on the 4th, 6th, 7th and 8th I would be very close to beating Porky, maybe even actually beating him. With a gamepad. You have no idea how much satisfaction I got from just seeing that I actually had better times on two stages than him. So instead of just making him leave, while not simply reduce his points or give him a 1 minute handicap (he waits for 1 minute at the start of the first stage)? There are a lot of better solutions than just trying to be an asshole.

I don't believe @Rallycameraman was like that at all.  That video/meme is for an explanation of, wow, not only did it escalate, but it did so quickly.  Wait, how do you not know what and why that's used?! :)

I would like Bacon mallet to stay, and I'm the one who's always stopping the water leaking out the bucket.
I like the idea of some kind of handicap, Iwould imagine Pork would have idea idea on this too.

That's why I said "not sure" ;) I do know the meaning of the meme, but meme used in a proper moment can mean something more than it usually does. Which is why I wanted to make sure.

As to Porky's idea... well he already put his idea into motion (as in he left the league). It would be nice if we could solve this issue in a civilized manner, without the "internet behaviour" so to speak.

But it can't be more civilized than this. Like I said, I'm not a big fan of leagues... and understanding RCM's point of view I thought I'd just do him a favour? Hitting two birds with one stone. It's really no problem at all for me. I don't see what all the fuss is about. I'd understand both of yous concerns if I actually wanted to stay in the league, but since I don't care... there's just no reason discussing it further. None.

Here's a fat bird, discuss:

Nobody's blaming you. I offered to leave, and then decided to do it regardless because of reasons stated above. There's nothing more to it! Laughter and free. ;)

Now please, discuss the fat bird.

Mind you, if you don't properly indicate sarcasm in a TEXT post - it becomes passive aggressive, if not full blown aggressive. And you kinda skimped on it. 

Unnecessary mishap, if you truly meant sarcasm in your "Rename League" line - it is actually hard to take it as such for me, as i use a similar line quite aggressively elsewhere. Can we steal the "Kappa" emote from TwitchTV??
Besides, Nevada is only a minute behind him, ask Nevada to 'git gud' and we might actually get something going! \o/

That bird's so fat that it needs to go to Finland if it wants to fly.

Personally, I dont think Porky should leave the league, & Im the first to bitch about stuff.  I dont have a problem with not being first, but I think maybe an unpublicised, unspoken of, WRC2 category in the league would be nice though, for the lads that maybe arent able to do a sprint stage that 12 seconds faster?  Can we look at that and get Porky back in?
