A player can refuse to play any ranked race on tracks he dislikes
eltomito {l Wrote}:What happens to me is that every once in a while, I have to quit in the middle of a race, because a cat jumps on my laptops and shuts the lid which screws me up, or something comes up which I have to deal with immediately, or there's a problem with my wifi that makes playing impossible.
I know these are all preventable issues (shut the cats in a box while playing, find a different girlfriend, use ethernet instead of wifi) but still, it would be nice if I was allowed to drop out of a race without losing any points, lets say, three times a week. Preferably, the system would be automatic, so that if the server detected I didn't finish a race in a reasonable time, it would pretend I never entered the race in the first place and it turn a blind eye towards my disastrous performance but no more than 3 times a week/a month or whatever you consider appropriate.
Regarding the fragmentation issue, I love racing the Brazilians but they're so far away that it's a bit hard to find a server where neither of us lags. Also, their time is very different, so we seldom meet online. I think this is something you can't really help. I'd love to race on the HK servers but Honk Kong is so far that I can never get decent ping there. So, the ranking system should take into consideration that a fairly strong degree of geographic fragmentation is inevitable.
