Good day RR3 community,
As you have heard, I had an explosive end a couple days ago, and since then there's been little to no explanation as to why, aside from a brief overview on my user profile. I thought I should explain what happened before things start happening.
First of all, I was NOT banned, rather just had a DSQ. I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but I have my account on two devices just in case one decides to break. This was implemented after the Valhalla Disaster in June. But I've been neglecting to update it and I typically collect the reward there first to make sure hackers have been removed. You can see where this is going.
Last week was the first time since the Lotus in June that I upgraded a car for a Group A finish. So I did my normal procedure, but would you guess, I forgot to update my profile. So I open my reward and get the message explaining how your time is reset thanks to conflicting data (upgrades).
As you could tell, I was really unhappy with it. One because I keep forgetting to update my saves, two because that was a solid P12 taken away, three because I couldn't reverse it (tried to no avail), and four because that gold was absolutely crucial to me FU'ing the Valkyrie in a couple weeks time (I was low thanks to the 962C). This amplified the emotions, obviously, however I think I would've still taken some sort of action into retirement.
This is NOT FM's fault, it was MY mistake not updating the save. As a result, I will not ticket them to give me my gold, as it was my fault for digging this hole, as much as I could use it.
To answer those who are asking about my future, I will probably stay around more than I said on Tuesday (heat of the moment) however the moment is still quite damaging to my momentum and focus, especially since I had built up over 14 A's in 15 weeks during our summer.
Autumn's arrived and a new era. I will be still around a bit, but am intentionally no longer going to absolutely sweat WTT like I did in the summer. So probably not a full-blown retirement, but farther from the planned semi-retirement. Plus, I also intend to stay around on the wiki, so anyone worrying about what my 'departure' would have on the community, don't worry too much.
All the best,
