The fact remains that every time you go through the start gate, whether in rounds or TA, you have the same exact chance to make the same exact time -- the only differences depend on the driver (unless in laps).Slig wrote:I can only suppose that you don't play Rounds often to consider that both kind of records are the same thing...
Between TMF and TMN, though, you don't have that same chance for that same time. Sometimes you're faster, sometimes slower -- all depends on the track.
A decent example between our TMF/TMN servers would be Ride by Irondragon. There's a noticeable drop of .05-.10 secs moving to TMF. On our local recs, thats a difference enough to take you from first to 25th, or from 400th to past 500th. Looking at DM's own recs page for that track, the difference becomes all the more obvious.
I'm not petitioning to end the separation of rounds and TA times, just saying if you are that concerned about separating times where driving conditions affect the time, it seems obvious you'd want to separate TMF from TMN...
Who and how much is a more private matter I guess. The interesting question is if It's helping, and have you got 10 donations or a 100? 
) and need to be phased out. Eventually, upcoming changes to the Dedimania API which should reduce/eliminate misplaced records, are likely to require all servers to upgrade to the latest versions of their respective controllers.
