So yeah, still can't seem to create a thread in that section so feel free to move this, if it's worth it. Right, as befitting my status as one of the foremost underrated race creators in the world and undoubted excellence at evaluating others pitiful attempts, largely thanks to my uncanny brilliance at finding all the potential crash points on any given track but also because I'm so completely awesome and shiningly fantastic, I've been appointed to the panel of judges in probably the most Earth shatteringly important thread on a forum that has always been reknowned for it's high standards of thread creation and bafflingly intelligent clientelle. Letting you know in case you didn't see this on the global news networks. Obviously I'm gonna be testing various abysmal CC vomitings in the company of you fine fellows. Last night we ran 6 races and the chat room comments made were invaluable to me when it came to slagging off the owners of said tracks. I approved 4 of them, 2 of which I'd previously run and suggested a few polishes, and disapproved 2. Also made a number of points that might improve the 4 new to me. Thanks to the guys that helped me out last night, Swifty, Traksta, Refuso and friends. Creating this thread so that anyone involved in testing with me can post additional feedback, if they want, get links to any races they really liked (2 of them were really rather good imo) or anything else that comes to mind. Anyone that'd like to get a smidgen of extra attention for their creations, head on over and post em, 2 at a time. You can count on me making RRR races top priority and providing as much helpful support as I can. If I've raced and liked them before then you'll get an auto approve vote from me and will just need one of the other 2 guys to like it for it to be placed in the OP. Would also say that we could really do with one or two more judges, it's not really a lot of work, just run a few extra races a week and post some feedback. The Xbox thread, run by Luap, has been doing well and made it to sticky status, we hope to be able to do the same for the PS3 side but do need more activity to be considered. gtaforums.com/topic/681615-ps3-approved-custom-races/Thank you

I know you're the foremost underrated race creator in the world and i would love to help you Cuz, but they don't like my tracks. So naturally, as a mature man, i don't fucking like theirs either

LOL Swifty !! Cuz - I wouldn't mind closing my review topic and joining the reviewers in the approved section ? let me know if this is possible Not only possible but absolutely necessary. You'd be welcome with open arms, especially as the creator of 2 fine approved races. The more judges there are the more I can ignore shit I don't like Swifty.... Oh Swifty... Lol.

This looks great! I definitely can't see where this can go wrong! Cuz and his self admittance to crashing, swifty and the chip on his shoulder but at least they've got nittydon who has experience in trudging through the sludge known as created content. Just kidding guys! This really does look good and I look forward to seeing some awesome races listed on here/gtaf. If you need anyone else to find unique crash points let me know and I'll help if y'all need. However, I don't envy y'alls position at all. I'm sure there will be plenty of disgruntled creators/artist along the way posting all sort of mature responses to your criticisms and suggestions. GOOD LUCK!!

If they don't like my reviews then I'll send Swifty to review them !! I look fwd to a bit of that! I really do, lol. If someone takes issue with a review I'll be desperate to race and review it myself. Oh and thanks for the move, mystery mod (Luap )

Good news! I have another playlist of test races coming up.
Actual good news. 2 are Dons, 2 are DeejayBs, 2 are air races, 1 looks alright and only 3 are possibly hard work. There are others that I could test but.... I'm hoping we'll have a couple of other judges to sift through em.... If not I guess I'll try em myself... sigh.

I will run the list with you but will not approve my own races lol Lol. No worries, me n Deej will have your back Been thinking that I'll make the test list a regular thing. Say twice a week at a given time and day. Depends on the input of course but there seems quite a lot of submissions atm. Then there's re-reviews, I might pose my own cap on that, probably 2, maybe 3 if they're worthy. Some of my BMing failed yesterday but there was hardly anyone on at a decent hour anyway. I'll run it tomorrow if not tonight. Around 10 or 11 GMT either way.

Am I being unreasonably impatient over there? A week without the OP (he's on my FL, he's been online, his last post in GTAF was 2 days ago, I'm not gonna chase him down), only 4 reviews from the other one of the original trio in that time and only RRR guys showing an interest in the feedback in my last load of reviews. The only decent tracks we're getting are from RRR (although it did kind of bring us PK). I'm thinking why not just let GTAF disappear up its own arse and do our own in here.
I'm defiinitely feeling this idea. The RRR race review thread. No need for approval, no need for votes, no panel of judges. Just good, honest appraisal of the creations people wish to bring to us for review. Whoever wants to weigh in with a race or a review can do so. Got legs?
I really liked review night, having a playlist of random races to pick over in chat. Would be a different thing in here and I'd kind of miss it but I don't see the point in flogging a dead horse over there. It's not like I have endless hours to fill. I never even volunteered in the 1st place, lol.

And the OP returns. I swear he was just hiding and waiting for me to spit my dummy out. Well... GTAF thread continues but I still think a creator workshop type deal here would be good. At the moment we have no shopkeeper so everyone posts their tracks but no discussion is stimulated. It's a similar story everywhere creations are posted, I looked at APEXes and it's the same, far more races than comments.... I will work on it....

Thats a good idea Cuz, we could still run the review playlists as you usually do but review them here

Luap, I wish our OP was as regular as you are!
Yeah Swifty, I really do like the idea of a central creator thread here. Since our OP over there has actually revealed himself to be on the case tho, I remain committed to that. If we have a thread set up here then of course I'll contribute but in the short term I think it could be good to add a thread stickied in that section linking people to the respective approved threads on GTAF. Then any time someone wants to post their tracks here they'll see it. I'll have a new PL for our amusement this wknd after all....

Sounds a good idea Cuz, I only joined the judges to see others creations as its so damn hard to find a decent map joining randoms in game !
I still haven't done my first review, I have however played "Rum for the Chopper" 3 times so have the feedback just haven't had time to post it if it was based here I could play and review in my own time ..... damn work and family getting in the way of my GTA time !!

Sounds good Cuz. I think having one here for RRR members would be cool but I'd hate to see you work yourself too hard and burn out. Just make sure you don't work too hard and burn yourself out and not have time to play for fun!

Cheers guys. Well running the list counts as fun and forum time doesn't overlap GTA time for me so all is cool so far. As long as the thread is breathing. I can set up a thread in here, when I get round to it, but it would depend on you guys to keep it alive. This GTAF business has taken a bit of a monumental shift in the last 24hrs. From me thinking it had died and getting the hump, through the return of the OP with a fanfare of reviews and on to today with another verification from our list. Not only that, R* have tweaked it in the exact way I said it should be! Not saying that they read my review of course, the race turned out to be approved some time before that (but maybe not updated), I'm saying that I'm a f*cking genius at reviewing races Unless it turns out that my recommendations have wrecked it....

Smoothly Does It & Running Errands both look like interesting tracks to me (now I just got to go and try them out). I just need to see if they fit the bill for one of the Class PL.

I've got 16 races in my queue now, aim to run half of them at least tonight. Will run em on my own if I have to but everyone is welcome as usual, the additional feedback is priceless. Contrary to the last collection of proper tripe, this lot looks pretty promising. There's some RRR and APEX content, a bit more from Broughy, as well as all the regular bullshit you've come to expect and to love. GP madness has infected GTAF as well as RRR. Jumpfest freeway malarkey has been weeded out and will not darken my screen with its needless respawning.

Not enough hours in the day Luap, demanding job and 3 kids under 5 !! didn't feel I was justifying the role tbh ? I may do the odd review here and there if I find time but thought there may be another GTAF member who could do the role more justice.

I sure hope there is, surprising that at least a couple more people aren't interested in doing it. Totally understand tho Don, its a bit of a burden tbh. I do enjoy it but just wish I had more time, the weight of tracks to get thru is too much. I've got half a dozen RRR based lists I'd rather run. Although half of them are mine, I admit...
