So, for me I have always raced as myself. I think knowing that I am racing against other people with real names will be good. I remember when DTR was first hitting the scene, and many people used real names or very close versions of their names, and it did seem to make it more "real". Also, I have no proof, but I think people behave better when they are using their real name. |

Sometimes people are afraid to say what they really want to say when they use their real name. Not using your real name allows one to say what they want without fear of retribution. That's a big problem with people. There are always those that will use fear and intimidation to shut someone up because they are scumbags. Anyway, you guys saying iRacing will force people to use their real name? Isn't that an invasion of privacy issue? |

To me, there's a difference between using my real name and reply e-mail address in a very public newsgroup (with the chance of being spammed to death...) and using my real name in a racing "sim", which needs a login to enter. And it makes chatting much more easier than "Hey R2D2c00Lman, nice lap" vs "Hey Phil, nice lap". If by some remote chance a real race driver is on there, you could always say: I've raced against so and so online. I'll let you be the judge of that. I've been racing online since TEN, I still have the printout of the race results and people I raced against used real name (or close enough... YMenard for example . It made it alot easier to remember them after all those years and at least I felt like I was racing versus another fellow race instead of some 12 year old wrecker... Plus I really liked the fact that one of the posters didn't use his real name for fear for physical retribution. I don't know if this is a joke. I don't know from which country he's from. I'm Canadian, and I doubt one of my fellow citizens would ever wish to physically harm me; I also doubt anyone outside this country would travel to this remote place to do violence to me. And of course, you had to point out the name thing just to feel superior. I'm surprised you didn't also make fun of my grammar or sentence construction. You didn't even bring any other argument why you would prefer a racer under a real name in comparison to a really fake one that's not even close to any known language. |

Isn't that an invasion of privacy issue? So, Einstein, how are people going to get away with using fear and intimidation in rFactor if they have to use their real names to do it? |

I have to completely agree with you there AE
It's funny how "honest" "non-one-sided" questions are simply NOT answered. Quick to post praise..... but slow (or stopped) when it comes to answering some simple questions. Hmmmmmmm strange me thinks ==--== > [/FIX] > > :-P > > and, not sure, but some writers here seems PR of Iracing to me ;-) > |

Obviously, simracing never went anywhere in your absence(*), but I trust your judgement. Welcome back, BTW. Jan. =--- (*): Papyrus just caught up in the trappings of mainstream game developement. |
