That's right, I'm quitting Trackmania...
I just feel that it's become too much about winning and overly competitive, that's not why I started playing in the first place. I played the game at first because it was a fun racing game, with a nice community of players, and it was all about having fun back then. But now it seems everytime I race I'm trying to break this record or that record, and it just gets old and boring really quickly... So... I've decided to park the car in my garage, place my helmet on a shelf in the closet, and just stop playing the game. Anyways, good luck to you all in your racing and I'll try to keep in touch on the forums... Don't expect to see me on the track though.
(This also leaves a spot on MATRA open, I apologize to Mad and Midden for leaving like this in the middle of a season but... I just feel like I need to stop.)
So, sorry guys but... This is where my racing ends. |

So you were serious
Just keep playing mate, and stop caring about the recs and stuff. You just happen to be good but you don't have to feel that pressure
Ah well, sad to see you leave _________________

Well it was nice racing against you and shame to see you leave
then again a break from any game is always good, i took a break for a month and i know swat left a while back.
does make the game a bit better as when you come back there are new names, new tracks and new records, i was still seeing new tracks over 3 months after a 1 month break |

I used to play TMN every day and eventually got sick of it.
Nowadays I play maybe 2-3 times during the week + GP and it works for me. _________________ It's not the winning, its the taking apart |

Sorry to hear that Bboy, but well... i can understand it since i don't play TM either for a while now...
Maybe we will come back together when time is good for it... we never leave something for good, i've understood that with time. You'll be back, you and us just don't know when.
Take care, have fun everywhere you go and see you one day friend
Sincerely... You're the Ayrton Senna of Trackmania. No less, no more. |

I don't know what to say; there isn't much I suppose that hasn't already been said. Anyhoo, here goes...
You've always been a great racer Bboy and you know we all have a huge amount of respect for you, especially myself after spending a year as your teammate in Formula Mad. I'm sorry to see you leave but I respect your decision and hope you'll stay in touch with us all like you said you'd try to. _________________

Bboy is a constant presence in the Top5 recs on any track since I started TM, the best in the game by far. MATRA is missing you already.

yeah sorry to hear this you will probably be missed by a few ppl
but ill give it a month and youll be back
can i just say thou without being out of term that if the only way you can play tm is to go for records and sector times isnt really a good excuse in my eyes to give up a game
its only your own attitude towards a game if you cant see the playful side of it and it only becomes your own lifes mission to beat everyone every time
i see alot of top players on our servers crash early then give up because theres no way of winning that round
to myself its about having fun and being part of a community and i dont care if i dont really win that race
its all about the involvement not the competitiveness and you need to find that again or youll never enjoy gaming
like myself i enjoy the racing and if i win its just a bonus thats all
records count for nothing in my eyes just a bragging right thats all
anyway sad to see you go as some of the other guys say your probably one of the best and most consistant guys ive ever seen on the game so good luck to whatever you decide to do next |

Well I actually agree with Bboy to a certain degree. Sure it's fun and all, but I do need a goal to race for. And sometimes it can make you desperate Well good luck with whatever you're going to do now Bboy _________________
