Hi everyone,
I had an idea a while ago about creating a Virtual Regatta Discord Server, and thought I'd share it here!
For anyone who hasn't used discord, then it's a website used for groups, a bit like WhatsApp, but without phone numbers! The advantage is that you can have multiple text channels and voice channels under one 'server', so you can have a text channel dedicated to 'announcements', or a 'general one', and same with video channels. I can see this being used for Team Racing, where you can have a dedicated text and voice channel for setup, and then separate voice channels for different teams.
I just think it would be a cool additional means for Virtual Regatta sailors to communicate, and for people to meet other like-minded sailors, and race against new people instead of just a random lobby.
If you like my idea, email (montydesforges18@gmail.com), DM me on discord (ID: Monty D#0798), or just reply to this thread

Deliberately crashing
in World Sailing / Racing Rules of eSailing

I agree, it would be nice to have some consideration for rule 69 here! Also, when someone tacks really close to windward, I'd just like to see some form of a keep clear rule. We could bring in the extortion (no idea how its spelled) system used in actual sailing, and then give a 5% score penalty for each infringement to the keep clear rule per race.
Its just annoying for sailors, but I can see the argument that, as coding is exact (just look at VR start lines!), and the RRS do have some guesswork in them, it would be hard to code!
