It was another Trackmania night, and tonight I started off on a highly-populated custom server, but gave up on it after a while. The big problem with a lot of the user-made maps is that you need to practice on them a bit since people love to throw all sorts of twists and crazy stunt jumps and blind corners and such at you, so you need a while to learn the track. You only get around five minutes per track when you’re playing online though, which often isn’t enough.
So, I switched over to one of the official Nadeo servers, running the ‘blue’ B-series tracks. I did a lot better there, but I did start to bore of them as I wrapped up for the day, so tomorrow I’ll probably have to see if there’s a C-series server.
I think the highest I placed all evening was 4th, but my overall world rank is still a little below 10,000 (out of 150,000 or so globally). And at one point, I had a few more spectators following my car than expected…
