The friend I usually play with almost NEVER kicks people.  We were doing a timed challenge on the bikes and you had 9 minutes to get to Wildcats.  I told her this guy was just playing in the quary and after the 9 minutes were up, she just restarted it. And he continued to play in the quary.    

I, on the other hand, love kicking people.

I just wish they'd implement a feature where a kicked player can't rejoin the room.  I had some clown do that to me.  I needed 7-8 people.  I sent a message telling him to straighten out, I kicked him 7-8 times.  Finally I had to lock the room, kick him and kill time for about 15 minutes and then re-open it to get enough people for my challenge.

When I am doing challenges then that's what I want to do. People who don't care should go into another room where only Freeburning is done. If they don't realize they ae in a wrong place, they will be kicked.

Since, however, there are loads of newbies around these days (I guess mainly due to the availability through the PSN Store) I always check Show PLayers first. If the guy's stats are all 0 (I have seen several of those) they get credit for just not knowing better yet!

I have so far not yet sent messages to whoever was misbehaving... They mess up one challenge, shame on them. They get to mess up two, shame on me


Yes, the one on the I-88 can be tricky. I was in a room the other day where we tried a few times. I accidentally got on the ramp in the tunnel, another guy crashed elsewhere and got apparently thrown off the highway.

Oh boy, yes, those people who think taking others down can be annoying...

I once found a thread at the Criterion about the take down etiquette; just wish more people would follow it. I usually don't respond to that behavior and if they keep doing it a drive a bit away from them and if they still don't stop I leave the room, feeling sorry for the host.

I have seen a player with 4300 take downs and everything else 0 in his stats...

Is there a way to tell what challenges you need without being in the lobby with the correct amount of players?

Right now, I am fighting trying to sign into Disney's BD Live network. It says I can use my movie rewards account, but, this shiitake mushroom keeps freezing up.

Disney is so lame!

But, if I were in the game, I would either be offline or hosting.

I did a lot of challenges last night, had a blast! It was also cool, since I was hosting,  that I got to help some others get their 8 players at wildcat stadium trophy. They politely asked, so, once I cancelled a challenge and did the meet at Wildcat Stadium freeburn.

The second time, we were doing a lot of the challenges at the airfield, then did the Wildcat Stadium for another person. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was that nice?

I think I just missed you.  I logged in, saw you were playing, started Burnout, did a few things while that was starting up, then when I got in the game you were gone.

I was eating downstairs. I'm back on for a bit if you happen to be around.

I had two firsts last night.  We were trying to help my friend find her last 5 jumps.  There was a group of us just cruising around looking for jumps she might have missed.  About an hour or two in, we heard snoring.  We assumed someone was being funny and commenting on the fact that it was a little boring.  But it turns out the guy totally fell asleep while playing.  We all laughed and took him down for about 10 minutes, but finally got tired of it and just muted him. I think he ended up sleeping for about 2 hours before he woke up and left.    

The host didn't boot him because we were just looking for jumps anyway.  And we had some annoying kid keep dropping in wanting trophies, so we just told him if he could wake Cobra up, we'd help.  Then the annoying kid would leave for 20 minutes before coming back to bug us.  So he was actually quite useful even while sleeping.

Anyway, the other cool thing that happened is I got 9.2 million in an online stunt run!  I think my multiplier was up around 72-73.  And that was driving in the dark! Now that I can taste it, I won't be satisfied until break 10 million.
