Lappers

So I think it would be a good idea for when the lapped gets a blue flag if he doesn't move he go invisible so the loppers just don't screw up the leaders

How would he even make that work to the point of the game knowing when a lapper has moved or not? An alternative option would be if you're a lapper and get the blue flag.... move?

True, maybe have a blue flag pop up at the middle left side or middle right side of the screen on top of the board with a arrow pointing left or right telling you what side of the track the leader is on so you can move appropriately. Should not be too hard. But I am not the creator of the game so I don't really know.

Like if u get the blue flag make it where it gives them an arrow like JJ said

I explained last time this was brought up why I thought it was a bad idea.

I think its funny how bad some of the fast guys are at taking different lines to avoid lapped riders.

I think its funny how bad some of the lappers are to cross jump the leaders more then once

As someone who gets lapped ALOT, I find it fairly easy to move out of the way, but it isnt always easy and if someone fast is coming up on you in a rhythm section or whoops, you dont always have time to move. But all I ever hear is everyone bitching about lapped riders. Maybe the lead guys should get better at trying to go around them too instead of just bitching, why not try to be part of a solution too? It's a two way conversation imo. I watch the rf races and so many fast guys dont even try to miss the lapped riders, even running into them on purpose or running them off the track, then complaining. I fully understand there are plenty of guys who dont even try to move out of the way and even try to get in the way and they give all lapped riders a bad name. But I still think fast guys should be some what understanding of lapped guys. They were slower once, they should know you can always just pull over if someone comes up real fast behind you.

Most of the fast guys (especially in qualifying) will try and thread the needle to get that fast lap or to not get passed cause sometimes you have a lapper and a guy for position on each side of you and you don't wanna let him go to not hit the lapper and loose the position so you just hope you don't end up hitting the lapper

You are not smart if you truly believe that the leaders are fucking up their own race just to have something to complain about. It is hard to continue to race competitively when lappers refuse to get out of the main line to allow you to go by in the main line. If a lapper has a blue bar at .7 going into a corner before a 7 pack in which the main line is to rail, and then go 3-4 on the far outside, and that lapper does that line, then you either have to funnel in with them hoping that they don't slow you down or cause you to run into them, effectively killing the both of you, or get out of the main line and be slowed down anyway

[slowngreen]

Truly believe? Well Ive seen it plenty of times so I guess I must truly believe. If you dont think that "some" guys who are lapping riders dont sometimes go out of their way to clobber a lapped rider then I guess you are the one who is not smart. Of course the guys in the lead dont do it much but there usually a good amount of positions lapping people.

Yea leaders do make aggressive passes and even clean lappers who are going full retard. But most of the time we try not to mess with them

[mxsrider96]

Yes, some people clobber lappers, but only because they aren't moving, and only in a way that doesn't ruin their own race. And you're making it sound like 15th is lapping people in a supercross race. Not very often, if ever, will anyone under 10th lap someone, and if you're willing to ruin a top 10 finish just to kill a lapper then you don't belong in rF at all, which is why my argument still stands, as there aren't many people that will do that

[slowngreen]

We all know there some idiots who are extremely fast who dont care about any of the other racers. Same as there are tons of slow riders who dont care. Both make it lame. Look at the fast guys who get them selves kicked for doing dumb stuff? Maybe I'll get that fast one day, doubt it haha but maybe and I'll probably change my opinion but I still think there are bad apples on both sides of this debate.
But as a lapped rider, not in RF since Im not that fast yet but in other races, going invisible so I wouldnt have to move would be a better thing for both parties involved. Wouldn't screw up the lappie? and wouldnt have to mess up my line.
