NationStates Jolt Archive

It seems I read threads of invasions and war almost every minute on the threads and I thought I'd want to help do something different. If one hasn't been started already, I'd be interested in helping to create or participate in an RP of a Formula 1 style open-wheel racing season with 18 races on different countries and 36 drivers (2 from each nation) from all NS peeps. It'll be set in current times with the 2004 F1 season rules in effect. We'd probably need at least 1 neutral guy to announce practice, pre-qualifying, qualifying and race results for each track. If anyone wishes to add any more details and/or suggestions, they're welcome to.

Driver and Constructors (Team) points will be tallied throughout the whole season.

What say you?

I agree about the invasion threads they do my head in! This F1 thing could be interesting and i would join in but how wud u get it to work?

Yeah, that's what's been going on in my head. We could do a full no-stats RP and let the judge come up with the results or we could do a partial or full stats-based RP and the results based on those stats as weights with a little random function thrown in. If the second option is the way to go, then we'd have to come up with a list of stats for drivers and/or engineers/designers, team bosses, car performance, etc. (let's say on a scale of 1 to 10) The NS peeps are obliged to come up with their own stats for each of these factors. Once we decide on those then we can plug in a math function (with a little randomisation) to determine results and other random factors like crashes and disqualifications.

We'd also need a form of god-modding rules so people don't come up with an uber-Schumacher driver with warp drive engines.

It sounds complicated I know, but hopefully someone can come up with a better suggestion.

This goes in NationStates, not Gameplay. And it's been tried before, unfortunately. 4 times and it failed each. Also, Pablicosta has one currently running, I believe.

Did a search and apparently it's not been running since 21st of June. Pablicosta seems a busy person and I do hope it gets back on track so to speak. I'll ask him if it's okay to join in the fun.

Thanks for the heads up Liverpudlian.
