Last Month the Japanese try to retrive this mod a little bit more. They played in the at 2pm CET. At the moment the gametracker,com Server Monitorring is off. Hope soon they turn it on. The ranking seems to work.
I agree with Skyline on this, I loved the racing, which is why this was started, if you remember I had 3 rounds at 15 minutes each, so that you could get some great start gate races. But the times have been slowly increasing as 'challenging' races take longer and longer to complete.
I have a couple of idea's, and will talk with the other admins about them.

Share the ideas with the map makers. Many maps are made for the ISR server. A map like "Ultimate" (I talk to much about that map) takes about 15-20 mins to complete

I totally agree with all this too. if anyone remembers how much i used to play on the server back when isr was starting out u'd notice that i was on every day back then for hours at a time, now its lucky if i go on the server for 1 every 2-3 days for an hour, maybe 2 if theres someone to race. i now go in the server and say rules are at is82.com break them on purpose and be kicked without warning. but none of the noobs go and read those rules so not long b4 am kicking lol. i think putting a password on the server and puting the password in the rules section would make all these noobs actually read the rules loll, and maybe add a rule saying no shortcutting til race is over, cause shortcutting always ruins a race for me. i think i strongly expressed that view to rich within a week of him putting his server and site up. unfortunatly my map that am about to release will take about 18mins for a pro to complete so shortening the rounds wont be good for me map
Cheats don't bother me at ALL JUST the people that use them do!

I used to try to crack down on idiots in the server. Then rich said I was being too hard and took my admin away for a few days. Since then I have thought fuck this, why should I waste my time trying to sort his server out when this is all the thanks I get. So people were scared of me. Only the smacktards got booted and if that means they dont come back so much the better.
When I first started intersate we had deathrace 1 and deathrace 2 and that was it. I agree that too much emphasis is on stunt maps and not enough on racing. Maps like skylines the limit and overdosed's forthcoming map are just what we need rather than messing around and doing stunts.
I'd like to see a return to racing. Proper clean fun racing on racing maps. Noobs can join, I was a noob once and i never did anything stupid. Newer people to the game are welcome just dont be wankers!
I've been playing a lot less recently becuase of the influx of idiots and shit maps. I say we sort this shit out and sort it out now.

p.s. am restarting work on my map coz it's a race map. A proper race map. [ Edited 04 Aug : 16:06 ]

i can see ariel really feels like she cares about this shit, for thats her first post (ever). i really want the good times back. dakar rally is great map, and skylines the limit is also very fun, bc i recently had multiple races with hwn (i won everytime of course :p) i loved it, so please map makers, bring the joy of it all back!

Yes all this sounds very familiar, death to smacktards!. Havent really taken this very seriously after i joined ISR, but times HAVE changed... i pretty much play as much as i did when i got the mod lol ... very addictive... lol ... but will try in the future to be more strict.

Well I was on today and things were going alright untill skylines the limit came on and a bunch of people started cutting and being idiots. Noobs were there asking question they would have known if they read the rules at all, and even some regualr players were being just as dumb..
my only real gripe is that there need to be fewer maps the basically require a player to go slow and calculate every move precisely in order to get through to first turn. maps should be about racing, not about outliving the guy in front of you. maps like lakeside and skyline's the limit should be the rule, rather than the exception. i've been playing IS since the day it came out and i still suck. imagine if someone came into the server and couldn't get around the first turn without having to do three loops and a jump. that person might have been a leader in the community somday, but instead, theyre going to join the horde in the PoE channel. maybe i'm jus rambling, but thats how i feel.
