Seeing this reminds me, I made some Twitch panel button things. Not 100% sure what they are tbh but Lee wanted them. I'm not sure they were ever put to use but this seems like a good time to start using them. I'm happy to post them, PM them or whatever is needed.

I thought of another one to add to the list, Amos from The Expanse. The balance of his character clearly having a moral compass on what is right and wrong yet having no qualms on how to achieve that. The "I am that guy" scene with Prax and Stricland I think perfectly sums up his character. The layers of knowing why Prax wants to kill Stricland, knowing what it will do to someone like Prax and caring enough for Prax to stop him. Yet knowing Stricland should die and without second guessing himself being totally ok with murdering him. I used to quite like Chloe in the earlier seasons but I think her character has suffered in the last couple of seasons. I really like Ella's character too and some of the more Ella centric episodes have been good and I do wish they'd develop her character more. I'd agree with The Rookie too, as Nathan Fillion is always a win though I also started watching it for Melissa O'Neil (Lucy Chen).

Good choices! Though if you start on West Wing, I think I'd list all of the main cast really as it's such a well written show. Interesting you pick Daniel from SG1 though, I always preferred the sarcasm of O'Neil (and Shepherd in Atlantis). I'd also add G'kar and Londo from Babylon 5, I loved their interactions through the series starting from enemies, to mutual respect and arguably ending in friendship.

It should be on the right hand side of the main page, underneath the twitter bit.

I just checked, I have 8.5 hours played total 🤣 so think I need to get on and have some practise before being the lamb to the slaughter of La and/or Carl.

I think you mentioned something around the time I picked Civ up. I just never really played it but maybe I’ll have to give it another go to figure out controls and whatnot and we can have an FG multiplay.

I missed this thread before and the games looks interesting. I bought Civ 5 while heavily into Stellaris so never gave Civ a proper go. Though some of my issue with Civ was I had to make decisions on things with no real idea of what it meant or impact it was going to have. I always meant to go back to Civ but maybe I should try this instead.

Looking good squire. There's a limited number of tracks so will always be hard to avoid repeats. Though I think all tracks can be run in reverse which could spice things up - Mount Panorama or Le Mans in reverse would be ........ interesting.

To take a leaf out my work book, I can neither confirm nor deny as to do either would in itself potentially reveal the information you're after and may be unfairly prejudicial to myself and Paul.

I said before that I think it should run similar to touring car/gt racing. The manufacturers race their cars but privateers can buy cars from whichever manufacturer they want and then race themselves. This does rule out people out of the team championship but realistically they are anyway if they’re only making a handful of races. So we in teams will pick different manufacturers in the order Jordie randomised. Everyone else still has to pick a manufacturer but has free reign to pick whichevrr one they want.

Brilliant, Thanks Jordie. I know which manufacturer I’d like but will have to check with Paul. Now Kiwi and Macca, if you can be kind enough to not pick it that would be great.

I thought it was going to be around the end of June we started the summer league? Though it would be good to sort what manufacturers we’re using soon as I imagine each team is going to want a chance to discuss which to choose. @jordie1892 are you still doing the random draw to decide the order or would you like me to do it?

I’m with Leigh, I’m happy to swap to Thursday whenever.

@RenFenggeI’m with you in that, I’m still bitter about Dark Matter getting canned. Sadly though this merger won’t change the fact that a sci-fi show with CGI will cost significantly more than some garbage reality show while also not getting more viewers. I only hope that they can see how many people joined Prime for things like The Expanse to realise it is worth producing them still. Still, on topic; it’s not a surprise as Amazon seem to want to buy all the things and sell all the things. I also appreciate your pun game even if was accidental.

That's a good point, Aston did do better this weekend, especially Vettel who looks like he might have found some pace in his new team. My opinion of Vettel varies constantly but he is a 4 times WDC so it would be a shame to see him stuck in mediocrity. Ricciardo disappointed again though, after Spain I'd hoped he was on an upward trajectory as I think McLaren have the strongest driver pairing on the grid, only really challenged by Ferrari's pairing. I suppose though, Monaco is a track where "you have to be one with the car" and if you're not then you are really going to struggle.

I know how sleeping beauty felt after that race....well maybe not the beautiful part. Monaco continues to always be about the Saturday and is the most interesting and exciting part as the drivers push in qualifying. It was strange seeing Hamilton so far down given that Bottas wasn't really too far off his normal qualifying position. Though his DNF and Hamilton being unable to make any advancement up the order has really swung both championships. Though I think Monaco is a one off, Merc have rarely been strong there even when they've dominated the rest of the season. So I think next race normal order will be resumed with them fighting for the front with Red Bull. Ferrari were the surprise though, previous races it's been McLaren who've looked more like the third team. I wonder if Ferrari were the reverse of Mercedes, and they'll drop down the order again when we go back to more 'normal' circuits.

Talking to Lee last night about the OG VoG, I ran through it many times with the below loadout. Hopefully knowing what worked before can help make a good base of what to start with this time. Primary; AR, mostly used for general add clearing. Secondary; Depending on the encounter I used Found verdict (arc shotgun), Vision of confluence (solar scout rifle) or Icebreaker (Sniper). I don’t remember there being any arc shields though, Found Verdict was just a goof shotgun. If it’s the same as before, maybe a void shotgun? Heavy: Corrective measure (void lmg with 99 round magazine). I imagine a good void LMG will be a good shout though, as mentioned above, swords could be very useful. I can see Falling Guillotine getting a work out.

I just came across this, I’m not sure on the specific version and guess because it’s ftp there will be microtransactions. But fir free still worth checking out. Depending how people can party up / play together it could be good for a FG Friday too.

In the, I think 4, races you both finished you did beat Lee in 1 race. So in those 4 races, Lee has a better average than you but his average gets dragged down through all the other races as he had some shockers. That probably does mean Lee should rank above you as he beat you in 75% of races you both entered. But without doing some horrendously complex comparison of how often each of us beat everyone else that I've got no idea how to do - I can't think of a better way than the way I did it.

The full list https://www.gran-turismo.com/gb/products/gtsport/carlist/ In the 2 minutes I tried, I couldn't get it to paste in to Excel correctly. I did find a list I could but it only covers 280 of the 320 cars in the game. This gives the below Edit: Whoops didn't realise there was a page 3 and this had already been answered - derp!

I believe that’s the plan. I think Jordie’s idea is that each team has a different manufacturer. With the teams being drawn from a hat to decide the order we get to choose a manufacturer.

Dammit, both Team Grebones and Team Slamminboth are such good names too 😞

I’m 1260 something but will be on the grind to get as close to 1300 as I can but I’ll be up for a run at the new VoG.

So I've updated the rankings to include the last 2 league races. It's calculated on the last 20 races as this pretty much covers the whole Spring league but I'm open to change this number if people have a better idea. Where people haven't done 20 races, I've counted all the races they did enter. This gives the following ranking 1. Kiwi 2. Greboth 3. @Mikepjbell 4. Agent_gsv 5. James 6. @phil bottle 7. @Shucker 8. Jordie 9. Tom @LordBaguette 10. Rich @tronic44 11. Clive @Teenwolf25 12. Lee @GazzaGarratt 13. @Stretch616 14. Matt 15. @TonyAE86 16. @crispymorgan 17. Paul @slamminbones 18. Macca @Macca89 19. @Spacedeck 20. Gary @techno 21. Cal @TheMuggySpud I've tagged everyone so hopefully people will say if they will be making more races going forward but removing those who haven't done many races, running the teams as first & last, 2nd and 2nd last etc. It makes the preliminary teams; Team 1: Kiwi and Macca Team 2: Greboth and Paul Team 3: Mike and Crispy Team 4: James and Lee Team 5: Phil and Jordie This does depend on a few things like if Matt @Misneach_ is planning to make more races after his move? @jordie1892 are you still planning to make more races if we're doing teams? James @Lurch You've made quite a few races but not all of them so not sure if you want to commit to a team championship or not, and @JBR Kiwi You've mentioned a couple times about not being around for races going forward for obvious reason so unsure whether I should be including you.

I can do Thursdays too.
