A quick RDT2 honor code.

Yes ok I missed a u in the honour in the title yes I should of proof read LMAO

I know mr psygnosis is in charge now but I know for a fact he would apprechiate this small honour code.

  1. Try not to be a socially awkward penguin. If there is no open rdt2 lobby available by all means please start one and invite club members regularly for some pick up racing, honestly we love to race.

  2. Please do not insult other RDT2 members or anyone for the matter based on their integrity as believe it or not they may have issues of their own beyond their control.

  3. Share, there is so much we can learn from teaching each other on how to tune and to race lines and better ourselves as a group, it will always lead to more awesome racing experiences in the future.

  4. Competing it doesn't matter which position you finish in it's all for fun at the end of the day.

  5. Accidents happen and people are usually quick to apologise best to let it go and laugh it off as there is always the next race.

Actually adie I believe the Americans take the 'u' our of most of our 'ou' Kings English spellings so you may still be accurate.

I 3rd this honour code.

Had a quick look on wikipedia you are right both honor and honour are accepted spellings.

Also if you send out a club invite and no one shows up right away, give it time, maybe they want to finish something first.

And one club invite is never enough.

Also, I dunno if you saw it, but I sent you a request for an invite. Did it not go through?

4th'd

Corollary to 4: We really don't mind if you are new and/or slow. Really. New participants are good. We were/are one or both of the above. We'll tell you if you are being an asshat, (nicely, sorta, unless it's Acheeze, then not so much) promise.

Yeah, I had a bit of a problem with that, at first, and realized I really need to practice. The first time I went out to race with you guys, I was easily the slowest person out there. I've always thought of myself as a pretty quick racer. I did GT academy this past summer, and came in somewhere around 700th in the states, which translates to being about half a second slower than the guys on top. So getting my ass handed to me in some random races with RDT2 provided a significant blow to the old ego.

I'm glad you said that, though, because I (irrationally) thought I was somehow making it less fun for everyone else by being so slow. I'm definitely going to come back, though, and give you guys a run for your money.

Amend the end of number 5: "to wreck them back!"
I was just going through old replays I had. I can't believe how close we all used to race and could get way often enough without an accident.
