German term

Abkürzzeit, abkürzen

German to English Other Games / Video Games / Gaming / Casino racing game
Hello all!
This is from a racing game. I know that "abkuerzen" would normally be "to cut corners", but how does that fit in with a number of seconds and an "Abkuerzzeit"? Any help would be much appreciated!

"Unter "Max Abkürzzeit" koennen Sie festlegen, wieviele Sekunden ein Spieler wärend eines ganzen Rennens abkürzen darf, bevor er disqualifiziert wird."

No hard feelings. You are welcome. ;0)

Hello Melanie,
It was a tough call, but pointblankcopy had the exact phrase that I used, whereas you only had "Max. short cuts", which I didn't feel was grammatically correct. Ideally, pointblankcopy should probably have appended her suggestion to yours, but unfortunately she didn't. If you feel that pointblankcopy used your idea, please take it up with her. Thanks for your response and effort!

Have you overlooked my answer, which came 7 hours prior to "pointblankcopy", I guess her name says it all. ;0)

. however, not being a natural cheat, I can't think of a gloss just yet DB
Daniel Bird Sep 15, 2005:
Hi Hilary - it seems to me that the software let's say calcs the number of metres you gain by driving straight over the kerbs, equates this distance to time, and then kicks you out if the number of secs gained exceeds the limit set under Max Abkuerzzeit..
