have I posted this before, I have no idea but heck it deserves to be read again so here it is

 

A rant to rival a rant that rant's

 

So you are good, you own everyone you race and in the end no one will race against you as they know that you are so damn good, then you create a new tag and the same happens again..........

 

back to reality you race and you get good, your rank drops to a point were you feel a warm fuzzy feeling inside a sense of achievement, yes you have reached a point in the game where people will respect you they will marvel at your rank and ask you for tips, heck man your famous, and then reality hits in you could loose one race and it would be over and you know your going to loose that amazing 2 maybe 3 digit number that sits so snugly next to your gamer tag, so the only next possible option is you think to create a new tag, and the whole process is repeated and repeated countless times until you realise that you have almost 20 gamer tags, does this mean that you are the best of the best, that you are the ultimate racer, simply No sorry, what this means is that you are not as good as you thought you were, skill at a game is not reaching a certain level, its playing on it and keeping it, getting it lower if possible, Rank means nothing on a game like Revenge, I know for a fact that many users on this site have multiple tags and the finger is not pointed at one of you, but all of you who have fallen into this retarded ever repeating process, And then we have the multiple tag's on the xbox forums, now that beggars belief I see no point to it at all. Right mini rant is over 3 more points for Booty, world domination drifts closer.

Sometimes dude, particularly when i am tired or have had  too much alcohol - i might not want to talk to people during races, i wanna play music very loud and turn down the xbox sound.  Or for that matter, in a complete state of drunkenness where i can see 3 revenge racers on the track on my tv and the rest of the racers are 3 miles ahead and laughing at me, but i still wanna race knowing i dont stand a chance and the only rooms open are ranked? Then thats when another tag comes in handy.... 

Another reason again because of the loud music/xbox sound turned low is that your friends know that you are playing and will invite you or jump in a room you are in and its ignorant to be sat there with your music blasting and no speech.  If im on a secret or new tag then i dont have invites or my friends room hopping - i can race ranked when i want - last night when all the regulars had gone and i wasnt ready to go i got a Grrrrr tag out and jumped in a German hosted room.  Usually its a no-no just because a lot of German AND French Burners are in the 4000-1000 bracket but have much lower skills/laptimes and are very very competitive, i only just manage to win usually and gain no rank from playings these guys. Dont know what was wrong with this little group last night but i won the whole races and for some reason 3 of them thought i was a girl (Grrrrr Baby = Chick??) And i thought that was funny, 3 friends request later and much begging for the chick to talk (ROFL).

 So there are two of my reasons for tags Boot - i admit my 4 have jammed up the ranks and thats one reason i dont  think people should have 20 tags. But there will be no Rank system in Paradise dude, so it wont matter so much on Burnout anymore for Burners to be multi schizo with identitys

I have (at least) 3 friends on my friends list who have more than one tag, and I have both or all 3 of their tags on my friends list. This could easily create problems on Paradise as the scores you are trying to beat are your friends scores. Xandu could have 3 higher scores than me on various tags, it could make things a bit more challenging!

Other than creating BurnoutAholics & BurnoutAholic tags I really don't see the point of me racing under a different name. If you don't want your friends to race you, you can always change your status to offline.
