Assorted RP Ideas
OK. I've thought of a few RP ideas. Comments are welcome.
World's Fair. Show off your architecture, technology, gadgets, etc.
Airshow. Show off your aircraft, hold air races, mock dogfights, etc.
The Great Racing Fair. Racing RP. Have multiple categories, i.e Stock, Formula One, Kart (for those who don't want to be serious), Rally, Exotic (for jet-cars, etc.), etc.
What do you think?
Oh, and if you like, you can post your own, similar ideas. ;)

World's Fair would be cool...but there is so much creative tech copy these days that it would just bring about NS lawsuits. Also, how would you deal with different tech levels? Who would care about the invention of a rocket engine when some other nation is showing 10X lightspeed or whatever.
Airshow would be badass...but once again...people who join would have to be accepting of others. No "I'm modern only and ignore all future tech guys" would be allowed.
Great racing would be cool too and could be part of the "airshow." However, you would have to read the above catagories.
Anyhow, I'm planning on a great race after my Civil War is over (In a few RL months, probably around March on my RL founding day) so you really can do whatever you want.
Some more possible categories. (Unless we have LOTS of participants, we should keep to just a few categories...)
Freestyle (sensible)
Enter whatever car you like. If it can be honestly referred to as a car, it's OK to enter it.
Freestyle (mayhem)
Eat oil slick, you losers! Muahahaha!
Rally (strict)
Stay on the course! No shortcuts! Conventional cars only!
Rally (exotic)
Just go through the checkpoints in the right order. We don't care about how you do it. If you want to do it in a tank, fine.
Rally (Hovercar)
Dodge through the city at amazing speed! Don't hit that walllll....

Well, if you either have separate sections for different techs, or enforce a rule that nobody acts like a jackass over tech ("Presenting our first supersonic fighter!" "lol! 1 g0t 10xFTL and pwnz ur @$$!"), then it could go well.
Good, good. I might not be able to start right away, but good...
Anyone got more opinions, or should I shut up and start planning the event?
Every Worlds Fair, heck every county fair, has rides. Why not let each nation enter a thrill ride? You'd end up with a global amusement park.

That is a good idea. Also allows nations with a low tech level (ie, medieval or fantasy themed nations, nations which might not even HAVE cars) to participate, if they're creative about it.
Anything else?
I'm thinking a combo World's Fair and airshow. I'm not really up to working out how to set up tracks, etc. for a race.
