You thought about changing the time at all

I was thinking about replacing it with a crew creations playlist each week, with races/DMs/captures etc all included. Try to revive it and/or start fresh. Whatever it takes to get members to show up. I personally preferred having races only though because anytime the crew is together it seems like all we do is captures and tdm. It was nice to have something different and was the only reason I would get online during the week. I have several unique captures that are designed to be races but its seems like everyone just wants to shoot and blow things up in captures and tdm.

we were 5 people last week; and I have a feeling, that we can keep the created race playlist. Though I think, Welly could be right if we could change to an earlier time. On the other hand I'd also like to have sth like "free-creations"-playlist, too. There are just a lot of people making tons of good stuff.

I agree that an earlier time might help..though not to early, I work during the day m-f and any earlier than 7 PM EST will be tough for me to make. I also agree about other created playlists and have actually mentioned that before. Created race playlist, created capture playlist, created tdm playlist would all be sweet. And then maby members could vote on the best of each category each month/week and create and awesome playlist each month/week with some from each category.

I've got some other ideas on how to keep it a weekly racing event. Let's leave tomorrow as scheduled and we'll talk about some ideas and start fresh with a new structure and time, etc for next week.
I'll submit a race so there's something in there. And if there's not enough we can just add in a few favourites to the playlist to fill it out.

I will add my 2 new Panto races to help fill it up. If people want more new races I still have a few that have never been ran by anyone but me but I dont want to hog the playlist if others have races they want to add.
Also I think it would help the race night if we were allowed to add air and sea races as well. I believe the rules are 16 players and land races only right now.

We got six races for tonight - I believe they have quite a broad variation coming with them. I'll be around tonight, and most probably it's gonna be me starting the races. But since my playlist menues weren't exactly reliable over the last week, I think I might just start them as single races. [bookmarking luckily still works] These are the ones for tonight, 21:00 EST : vccm.freeforums.net/thread/1031/xbox-thursday-creator-races-playlists?page=1&scrollTo=15066SEE YA!!

I am not a huge fan of racing, so that is why I mainly run Captures and Deathmatches. A variety playlist would spice things up and if we had a bunch of people submit 1 or 2 jobs of their choice, I believe it would make for a much more enjoyable evening. If you guys want to stick to a "race night" than I understand.

I also enjoy the idea of a " variety " playlist. Change things up, maybe add a boat race or capture/dm never used before. I like everything in the game from parachuting to plane races to golf. Not everyone enjoys the same and that's understandable but I just like participating with the crew.

Can't we have both? The race list remains; a new "open job playlist" gets started. just for new creations or people's choice. If things get voted in to the lists repeatedly by various members, we could even develope a "main playlist" that keeps pushing the favourite jobs in order to maybe get them into R*s focus. And just to have sth that can be run [by hierarchy] apart from events, especially to gather the crew, makin some money, havin some fun. Always being corporate ;-) But surely I'll follow the crew's lead here :-D

I'm all about experimenting and finding out what works out best for the crew.

Apparently not. I like the race playlist and always have. But if nobody's attending, nobody's attending. Can't force the crew to participate, and if nobody's showing up it means that it's just not something the majority of the crew are interested in. Like I said, I have a lots ideas on how to get more people involved, some involve keeping it a race night and some involve combining it with other creations.

So if the crew isn't interested in racing then why is there a whole forum for it on the main page?.... (Motorsports Club) There's no forum for tdm or captures...

This forum was actually my idea with the intent of trying to get more Xbox members involved in racing so our racing events had better participation (I think PS3 race quite a bit as it is). We don't need a TDM/Capture "club" because that's all we do anyways. And I do think that it achieved that. Im not saying racing events dont or cant work. But this specific event has fallen off in the past month, we can let it fade, keep going with 3 or 4 people, or try to change it to appeal to more members. And all opinions and ideas are welcome.

Guys, the reason attendance has been low is because I thought this thing had ended, and I'm sure other people did too. Mike said he was no longer doing it and I didn't know someone else had picked it up. We have more people who like races than anything else now, I'm sure people would still join if they knew it was still on.
