SimSheepEffect* is the time it takes to fill up a passworded server without a signup list:
- Server is idle for 60 minutes
- Player 1 joins all alone by himself to do some practice.
- People in the main lobby think mééééééh one person, not going to bother, lets get myself rammed in the first corner of a public Monza race instead and afterwards complain about the horrible driver standards.
- 90 minutes later Player 1 is still all by himself lapping alone.
- 95 minutes: Player 2 joins. Player 1 and 2 now have safe haven to race each other.
- The flok thinks meééééééh not going to join a server with two people. Lets get myself punted by a driver racing in the wrong direction on a fully filled public Imola server instead. #Repeat rant procedure after punting.#
- 100 minutes: Player 3, 4 and 5 had enough of the ramming and join the passworded server.
- 105 minutes: Flok notices activity and Player 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 join.
- 105 minutes and 30 seconds: Server all of a sudden completely fills up by player 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24,
- Race starts and people have a safe race.
Bottomline: as long as there is a player 1 joining soon it will work but he needs to stick there for the long run otherwise the flok won't join the lonely sheep
