I see what you're saying, Wendy. My post was just another 'brain dump'. I have so much going through my head that I gotta let it out. Therapeutic for me
LOL.
The racing is a 2-edged sword for us. It's something that was a novelty because we won 'flame suits'...beside the fact that we all won! So we've been very 'protective' of our positions AND clothing (for obvious reasons
. I know about virtual and real and pixels. We do enjoy racing...but many people in game do tend to seriously spoil the fun for most other people...which frustrates me to no end. True...we can't control what others do or don't to. But we can sure make a huge stink about it!!! LOL. I'm just kidding
The frustration is there, though. I care alot about people. And I don't like seeing lots of adults AND kids getting cheated out of potential prizes..by other adults who have no life? There's something fundamentally wrong with that. Same with people racing for other people. That's called CHEATING. Sigh. I wasn't into VMK that much to see what happened there, but apparently I missed....much.
I'm sorry to hear that things happened there, too.
I really can't see any way VFK could stop this, either. People will be who they are. If they are honest and upstanding...then they will probably continue in that way. If they are dishonest...and would do ANYTHING to win...then that will be evident, for sure. Unfortunately, being so involved in the races from the beginning...and knowing so many people who race...and so many people who race for others...and knowing who would do literally anything to win...all of that negativity is right in my face. I guess I care too much about people. Kids especially. And I feel helpless, because there's nothing I can do to really stop it. We will race, and we will try to look past the negative. I may stop looking at the winners list (I say that now...but I know I'll look -.-)
We would like the racing alot better if it didn't come with all the sleaze. Goes without saying. lol. We like Mari Kart Wii way better, too. LOL. You gotta have your kids friend up with ours so they can race!
Yeah...I have no idea how people over there win SO many times. I mean...my goodness!!! I think it's like one of them said tonight: "I have like a bazillion tabs open". LOL. It's a numbers game, for sure. There are also 'favorites' who can make it in multiple times on the same person...make no mistake.
I'm terribly sorry to hear about your friends son
I can't even imagine. Being a parent, just thinking about it makes me tense up! Huge prayers for that family and their son. What an awful situation.
(hugs) to you, King and your family
