I've not had any sleep...but there are some changes made as of late last night to FG. For a change, no long essay from me, no long explanation - go and have a look. Massive room for scope. Just want to hear your thoughts. GGFG

Thanks man, we do tend to get in the region of 10 players on a Tuesday, and possibly more, just want to know how many actually can be arsed to do the league🤪

It’s easy enough to find a list of cars in game so stick them in a spreadsheet and you could quickly work out which manufactures have a car in the desired classes. That’s going to be the interesting choice though. The balancing of the cars in each class and which overall is the ‘best’. The gr4 Peugeot is great but rarely the fastest in gr3. Between those 2 classes alone it would be tough choice between Peugeot, Audi, Toyota, Porsche, Jaguar and Lexus (maybe more as I can’t remember every car in the game). Add in other classes and it becomes a much finer balancing act, Have I been smug? I’ve been a dick but I like to think I’m a consistent dick; win or lose.

By power levels I mean classes, we are sticking to BOP. And yes, will be doing more than Gr.3 or Gr.4. I was thinking of making one of the Tuesday night races a league race as we can do 2 other races that aren't league...but open to other preferences. Each season will have a an FG Champion but first to third each season will also receive Grand Final points that contribute to the end of year Grand Final tally. But everyone gets to race in the Grand Final.

I think we have enough people to consider starting a league. Obviously not right away, as some newer players need some time with the game. But I'm thinking of doing a league by season, kind of like Gran Turismo do. My suggestion: 1 league race a week. 12 league races per season. Points for places. Final league table will take your top 9 points from 12 races. You have to pick one car manufacturer at the beginning of each season which will the one you use for all FG league races that season. I can share the planned tracks and power levels in advance of each season and share results on a weekly basis. Grand Final at the end of the year between the podium winners of each season, which will tally points from all seasons and the final to crown the FG Champion. Let me have your thoughts or alternative ideas. I'd need at least 7 or 8 of us onboard to make this worth doing, so let me know.

Indeed, and to answer you and @Mikepjbell at once on this, like Mr Smug😅 says, the RCZ isn't all that in Gr.3......and it's like across the board with all car makers. I have no problem with everyone choosing the same manufacturer, although that's kind of boring ha ha. And no, @Grebothyou're always a consistent dick but you've never swung it about 🥰

Hey, so is there many warzone/CoD players round these parts? All the people I used to play with seem to have binned off CoD, yet here I am still loving it but having to play alone a lot of the time.

I'm very much up for this, and we would need to make sure that we have enough available manufacturers for each class. I would also note that some manufacturers have better suited or stronger cars, for example Peugeot have the RCZ in both Gr.3 and Gr.4 and both are strong cars. How can we ensure that there is a fair distribution of cars, or do we give Greebs the shit ones? Just a thought. When Greebs eventually wins this, do we have sufficient levels of anti-smug available in reserve stock? What are the rules for smashing into people? Asking for a friend.

Cracking idea and I can't see an issue with numbers.

It's racing so you know I'm down for this. A couple of questions spring to mind though; Is this on top of the Tuesday races or will this league race replace a Tuesday race? Tuesday's is a race for fun night where anyone can join but it makes sense for a league to have fixed entries. It makes sense to factor in someone might miss a race or 2 but less so that someone may only enter a race or 2. I assume by choosing a manufacturer, we would be racing different classes throughout the league? If we're sticking to a similar style to the official GT Sport manufacturers cup, will this be just Gr3 and Gr4? As not every manufacturer has a car in each - Alfa Romeo springs to mind as they have the 4C in Gr4 but not Gr3 car. The vast majority do though so not really an issue but worth noting. You mention sharing power levels? Are you planning on specific restrictions other than the standard BoP? Can you explain the grand final thing a bit more? So the points through the 12 race season only count for entry in to the grand finale race? Or do the points give a season champion but the grand finale is similar to the race of champions, where you get all the individual season champions together to decide a champion of champions so to speak?

I think what he meant is he tried a bit of CW multiplayer the other night, and his experience was that dissatisfied that he concluded Warzone is carrying the franchise. I could be wrong, but that's how I read that.

1/18/2021 Workout Weight lifting Bench press: 3x5 @ 45lbs 3x5 @ 65lbs 5x5 @ 75lbs Back Squats (finding 1 rep max. Haven't seriously squatted in a few years. Prior PR of 260lbs) 3x5 @ 135lbs 3x5 @ 155lbs 3x5 @ 165lbs 1x1 @ 185lbs Thoughts: I'm officially stuck at home for at least 2 weeks now. With the exception of leaving the house to drop off my weekly COVID test. Husband has caught COVID, and my tests are still coming back negative. Curious lol. I have the weaker immune system, typically, yet he gets it. Anyway. My HIIT coach told me to do the workouts at home that are posted on the site. And, I had full intention of doing that yesterday. Except... I hate cardio. And Mondays. And, aside from what seems to be me doing weights and/or Centr workouts on Mondays, I instead opted for weights lol. I wanted to see how much strength I lost since I haven't really back squatted in a long time. I wanted to be at least at 200lbs. I guess that's not in the cards. 185lbs is not terrible. It's just not what I wanted. (also, no one ever includes moving the weights on and off the bar and putting weights away as part of the workout. THEY SHOULD! hahaha) Regarding my lift sets/reps, I'll be doing a 5x5 program in addition to the squat workshop programming that starts on Saturday. 5 is my favorite number, and the program itself is like drilled into my head. As for my weight and food - I couldn't help but weigh myself this morning. My next weigh in isn't really until this Thursday, but I sort of had a few handfuls of tiny cookies that are size of a coin... and I wanted to see how badly that affected me. (This is a dangerous rabbit hole for myself. I am thoroughly aware. But, the fact that keto keeps me in line and not go anorexic is a blessing.) Luckily for me, I didn't gain actually.. I'm actually below my 1 month target weight. Just means it will get harder and stricter. Also on food, I really do not do well on Intermittent Fasting. It's not that I can't do it. I absolutely can. But, lots of people forget that IF really f*cks with women's hormones. Works wonders for men. Just not for women. Looks like we will be doing "IF" sort of... with the exception of morning coffee/tea/whatever being a fat bomb instead of no calorie. @Middle Class Caveman wanted a photo. Here's a photo of my weights at 185lbs lol.

Welcome to the forum dude!

Welcome and you will be happy you joined here. It really is an awesome place. I'm sure plenty will want to get you in on the online experience. Is definitely more fun gaming with others.

As, I guess, a coffee snob, this makes me sad. As someone who knows the research that went into Nespresso machines (I worked at a fancy kitchen retail store for a bit), I'm glad you at least chose well! Don't be stuck with just nespresso pods. There are ones that you can fill and refill yourself. So, if you have a local roaster, you can use their beans and proper grind and still have all the convenience at a lower cost!

1/15/2021 Workout 4 Rounds: 25 kettlebell sumo deadlifts @ 20kg 25 kettlebell high hang pulls @ 16kg 25 kettlebell goblet squats @ 20kg Thoughts: Lolz. I went into the gym this morning thinking "this won't be bad. Just cardio." .... ... .... Then, James was all "12kg is too light. Let's adjust the weights for you." So, I got through it. Not pretty. But, I got through it. It was interesting that I wasn't completely gassed when I took breaks. I took breaks because my muscles were all "yeah. no. failure." My quads were on fire. Actually, I was poking at them and thought, "Oh. those are more defined again. Hello, quads. Haven't seen you in a while." Did my weekly weigh in for the challenge. The prize for the week is an air fryer. That would be cool. Down another pound. 14 days in, and I'm down a total of 4lbs. I'm gonna have to focus on my food sooner than anticipated. Guess we're gonna see how I do with each monthly goal if I keep to 2 "cheat" days. I keep thinking how interesting it would be if I actually end 2021 at my goal... and how I would still have a BMI of like 26 (still considered overweight) yet have a body fat percentage of 17%. Lolz. Honestly, I haven't been that lean since college days. Would be interesting to get back to it. It's these types of thoughts that get me through my low-motivational times.
