NationStates Jolt Archive

I remember seeing this a while ago, in fact I participated in one for a few months until it got shut down, and I must admit it was incredibly fun.

All the details will be revealed soon, I am working on a spreadsheet as we speak.

Current nations involved:

Kazakhstania
Moleland
Liverpool England
Vilita
Sjwitz
Fimble loving peoples
Stevid
Krytenia
FMJPheonix
Oliverry
Tonissia
Spirit Nation

It would involve a lot of thinking about how to set it up and perhaps it's own website, but that can be arranged.

Anyone interested, fill in the Team Sheet form on Page Two!

Been here two millenia (years) and haven't seen Formula 1.

It's been tried seven times by my count. All either failed or never really finished. I'd be happy to help start a new one.

Vilita would have to enter should it be resurrected. Jurgen Ramzi was won of my drivers last time out :) See, its a good thing the last one failed!

I'd compete if this thing works!

Pablicosta ran the last one, iirc, which was a while ago.

Pablicosta ran the last one, iirc, which was a while ago.

Everything of Pablicosta's ceased, so that's not anything to go by...

I'd be interested in this idea.

Hey, look what I found under this huge Formula 1 car-shaped cover!

http://www.starblaydestudios.co.uk/Images/mc512fw23.gif

It's not even dusty, tyres barely used! I think this might mean I'm interested!

Sweet!

I remember one ages ago, when I was Freedom Country, but it seemed to stop after about 5 races. It might have been Pablicosta actually, remember that name.

I would need some kind of mathematical formula to work out Car Development, Speed, Driver Skil and of course, Sheer luck!

I guess it would be difficult to say "Uh, I'm sorry, but your engine exploded on lap two."

I'm gonna start a list of names and see if I can get a website working! And thanks for the interest guys, big help!

So far:

Starblaydia
South Osettia
Moleland
Liverpool England
Vilita

Sounds Cool. How will you calculate some of this stuff? You could go by Economy of the nation for car quality, but all drivers should start out rookies... with more RP getting your 'bonus points' or something...

Yeh, like in the World Cups!

Well, I would need stats like:

Team Area of Expertise
Team Experience (Motor Industry, Military Contracts or Whatever)

Each team would be given, um, $20 Million (?) to spend on Engine, Chassis etc, and I would calculate the end results. Say you spend a lot on Aerodynamics your car would be quick as hell, but the acceleration would be slow and the engine might pop at any moment.

Every team and driver would start a rookie, and there would be RP Bonuses (a certain amount of percent per race, which would bne added to your "Luck" percentage, which I would calculate with a dice :D ), and there would be no bonus for economy of the nation, that makes it unfair.

It would, of course, be done in excel.

Anyone ever played Hearts of Iron? It would be much like the system there. I'll go into more depth once I get 10 teams.

Team Area of Expertise
Team Experience (Motor Industry, Military Contracts or Whatever)

Good thing our biggest industry is Automobile Manufacture then. :)

If you get short teams, the Island Emirate of Turori has some hold F1 style cars sitting around as well. Auto Racing is still the #1 sport in Vilita & Turori.. World Cup Champions or not...

I run a fairly similar concept known as Formula Marmaduke Racing.

Its fairly popular in a region or three (I have twenty four nations participating in the second season and are always open for more) but its not quite structured the same as the World Cup.

More information is available at www.geocities.com/formulamarmaduke

I'd be very interested if this goes ahead. I need some more development in sport RP's.

Also very interested.

Are the teams Nationbased? Or is it mainly the drivers we're considering ?

And in every season I suppose about 20 nations host a race? Or is one whole "season" hosted by one nation?

Are the teams Nationbased? Or is it mainly the drivers we're considering ?

And in every season I suppose about 20 nations host a race? Or is one whole "season" hosted by one nation?

Last time out, iirc, the teams were nation-based, so to make them easily identifiable. Everyone had 'Nationname F1 Racing' and usually their drivers were from their own nation.

Each nation could submit a track to add to the season, and these had qualities linked to the Car's score, such as cornering, speed and such like, to determine which cars would perform best at that track by having the same qualities.

I am going to do it with a "percentage" based scoring system, with an average lap time (say 1:30) and things contributing to it.

Say it was a very twisty circuit, and the team had spent little on their Aeodynamics, then it would be plus X% of of 1:30 to the lap time. But, if their engine was good, acceleration would improve and so it would be PLUS X%. Get it?

Each nation would have a Team, three drivers and its own grand prix, in my case Ciramix F1, with two drivers and the Kazakhstanian Grand Prix.

I can only have 12 nations, hence the 24 drivers rule in, um, 1997/96/95? I dunno, but those the rules. So far:

Starblaydia
South Osettia
Moleland
Liverpool England
Vilita
Fimble loving peoples
Sjwitz

UPDATED! No more minimal strategy :D

You need to set a range... like "Total Expertise Points: 20" otherwise we can all just put infinity and it would be boring as hell with no strategy :)

Classic idea Kazakhstania. And i like the way you can work out the scoring system.

You'll be getting my application form.

Do we also need to design a Grand Prix?

Sweet!

The form has been updated so I know what I'm after.

I will TG you all with your budgets (I haven't decided how much, have to run some tests) and the racing calendar for the year. As far as I know, it should take 3 months or there abouts.

Unfortunately, I will have to handicap myself a lot of money as I know the secrets of the scoring system, so expect Ciramix F1 to = Minardi :D

And before I forget, some demonstrations:

High Speed = Monza
Slow Speed = Hungary
Hilland = Osstereich A-1 Ring
Urban = Monaco
Medium Speed = Luxembourg

Got it?

I don't think a website is needed, anything about this could, and should, go onto the Wiki. Can we start submitting tracks now, then?

I've designed a course BTW. It's not very good graphics... but you get the idea...

I'll start designing a track. I have loads of doodles which could be used as tracks. I will spend much time on it, and it will still look incredibly poor because my computer has no design programs.

OOC: Use paint, like me!

I've always felt sorry for Minardi, been racing since 1984 without a podium :D Paul Stoddart is a great guy though.

Sure, send in your track profiles! It will be a bit chaotic on here, but I just need to transfer all the data to my spreadsheet.

Oh, and Mole, I need your drivers!

For the description just type a paragraph about it.

My course will be the first of the season, mind.

Whoops, forgot to add drivers...

Driver 1: Robert Hover

Driver 2: F1 Mole

NOTE: It has no stadiums or pits... Maybe Kazakhstania would be willing to add that on...

I can't seem to upload it... Does anyone know somewhere I can host BMPs?

Got it?

Hi, sorry to butt in, but I was browsing and just though I'd check this out. Dunno if I'm gonna commit yet, but lemme point out one fault: HOCKENHEIM, FAST! Not any more mate. Did you see the new one at all? It's like one of the slowest circuits on the calender. Now, Monza, that is high speed, fastest on the calender

You would need to host JPG's. Convert them in...paint!

Nah, stadiums are non essential, just showing the stadiumness of the stadium section!

As for your drivers, I need their age, expertise etc.

Yeh, I just noticed that. It used to be, but now it aint. Sorry for the impurity!

Monza is the fastest now, yeh, Malaysia second fast? It would be pushing it to say Belgium.

As for my course...

I used to be able to host them as BMP in paint... but the site I use has stopped working as in it used to... I could try E-mailing it to you?

Hmmmmm.

www.walagata.com is quite good, but it would take up mega host space.

I will TG you my email adress. Hear from ya soon.

Kuala Lumpur is a mix now, its odd. Belgium is quite fast, yes, but they are slowing down every circuit now for safety.

Okay. I have to register... and that sucks, so... I'll e-mail you it... hopefully...

I designed my course (in paint) and tried to put it on photobucket but the file is way too big and so it is a tiny picture you can't really see any details on. Any other ways of making it available to see?.

Save it as JPG!

That makes it much easier.

Sjwitz info will be following tomorrow evening (CET) Will try to add track too. Any suggestions on how I made that track? (Or is text-info enough?)

I will TG you my email adress. Hear from ya soon.

*Still waits for telegram*

Ah, its rossmurison@hotmail.com. Forget security :D

Any chance of a circuit map Liv Eng? Would be nice to have, its quite important :)
And I'm guessing Bahrain is Medium Speed.

Sjwitz, a picture would be nice. If you want, I will do it, just send me a step by step account of the track and I will make it for ya!

The Belmore Family, nice team! However, sorry to be all humorless and serious and all, but more serious teams please! It just makes it look/feel better.

Thank you. I'll e-mail you it shortly.

Check your emails. You shoul dhave a messege from Molelandns@hotmail.com

Your E-mail didn't work...

Okay, things seemed to have crept up on me a bit. I've suddenly realised how much I've got going on at the moment, so unfortunately I'll have to take a backseat (ignore my crude joke here) in this. I'll watch with interest though, and I may get involved next time, when I'm not tied up with tennis, football, hockey, mafia RPs...

I'll email my track now.

Here's the crazy info part.........

Circuit Name: Backstaffen Park
Number of Corners: 10
Circuit Length: 4.34km
Circuit Type: Fast speed, urban in certain area.
Circuit Fan Capacity: 52,000
Circuit Condition: Good Quality
Circuit Architecture: Varies wildly.
Circuit Description: Originally used in national production car championship and widely regarded as the best course in FLP. It has recieved a major overhaul for the demands of a formula 1 competition. The track passes stadiums along the northern straight before passing through some major city roads.

SO, thats ok! I have a bit going on too, but this is my priority, so....All the same, enjoy watching, hope you compete next time :)

Moleland, try again! FLP's worked, so i dunno. Maybe you typed it in wrong?

FLP, nice track, is the Urban bit to the Right yeh?

I'll spruce up the drawing a bit, and it's sorted!

Heres the spruced Up track:

http://venus.walagata.com/w/woodhall/F1trackFLP.JPG

That's way better. Thanks.

Yeah. The urban part is on the right.

Good, sorry if I'm making stuff up but I have to get this thing rolling :) That circuit is gonna be the second of the year, by the way.

Theres only one more team place left now guys!

Second grand priz of the year. Woooooooooooooop.

There will be a seperate thread once it gets going right?.

Yeh, I'm gonna start a results thread and probably an RP and news thread, and anytime you ahve a query feel free to TG or email me.

Hey...this looks awesome...I run a news service in NS and would like to feature results, drivers, team, etc....so I'll follow this one closely :)

Circuit Name: Eugene B. Fraser Memorial Circuit
Number of Corners: 11
Circuit Length: 4.51km
Circuit Type: Urban Circuit.

Circuit Condition: A bit old and worn.
Circuit Architecture: The streets are freshly paved all around this track which winds through the major city of New Lynn, Spirit Nation, it is a tight, windy circuit with difficult corners and passing is at a premium
Circuit Description: The Newly Created Spirit Nation Auto Racing Series, created in response to much illegal street racing in New Lynn, has used this course to host its' major event, the Agramonte 500, to kick off its' inaugural season; it has also been used for some other small racing events like motorcycle races and the like.

A picture would be nice, but not essential.

So far, there are five tracks for the year:

Kazakhstania
FLP
Liverpool England
Spirit Nation
Moleland

Do you guys mind if I make up pictures, just makes it look nice and funky.

Thats all 12 teams though, which is 24 drivers, which means we can begin! I will TG you all to make sure you can still take part, however.

If you miss a race, I will just give you a generic pit strategy and race you anyway.

And if we dont have enough tracks, Kazakhstania has plenty, or I will put a plea from nations not competeing, but this wont be for several weeks.

Track sent. (Address is Baddieland)

Cheers, just got it!

Nice track :D

Coming up this evening, my track and team. I'll give the description so you can draw the graphics. Thx btw! :)

You can do the track for me if you want to, but a few things to take note...

There should be a/an:
Back straight
Parabolica for Turn 7
Intermediate 1 at Turn 4
Intermediate 2 at Turn 9
Speed Trap along back straight

Looks like I'm doing a lot of drawing!

Moleland, I'm doing up the track, I'll post a copy in a mo.

Nice job! Love it.
Have a cookie.

I am afraid there are now only 11 teams for the championship, it appears FMJPheonix is not a nation.

Yay! Cookie!

Also, I need team sheets from:

Starblaydia
Vilita
Stevid

Thanks

Well that kinda sucks...

BTW: Circuit Architecture is Mole (I'm alien BTW... shouldn't be a prob... my F1 cars are just as good as everyone elses). Is there going to be a time of year for these courses? If so what? Will we (The host) decide the weather conditions?

I was thinking that. Cheers for the architecture :D

Yeh, the hosts will decide the weather, as long as everyone doesnt choose rain. There are six choices:

Sun
Partly Cloudy
Cloudy
Light Rain
Heavy Rain
Monsoon

Of course, these can change as long as you state when in the race.

Mine will be cloudy, then rainy near the end. My country is dull.

Though that is a guess, I don't know what it will be. But my country is always like that.

You need to design a calender. like on August the 3rd the season starts or whatever. Give me a time of year!

Myoshuri is less known in other nations but trying to expand. The quality of their chips will not be equalled by any other Sjwitz company but their quality compared to foreign companies is unknown.

Circuit Name: Woodlands F1 Racing Circuit
Number of Corners: 17
Circuit Length: 7.256 km
Circuit Type: Allround (Hills, Technical, Slow parts, Fast parts, bit of everything really, except street-type race.)(best compared with Belgium IRL)
Circuit Fan Capacity: 43k. (Another three stands will be made ready by the time the race is scheduled, capacity will then be 62k)
Circuit Condition: Very Good Quality
Circuit Architecture: The size of the circuit is very big but normal in architecture. Exceptions are two very long straights, a few hard steep up-and downward turns and a technical chicane part.
Circuit Description: The circuit is very hard for the drivers because of the size. Sometimes it can rain on one part and be completely dry on the other. Because it contains so many difficult aspects most people say that the best racer has the most chance of winning, not the best car.

No of Laps: 42

What do you think?

Not a bad street circuit, do you think you could make the circuit larger, by about 1/0.5km?

Circuit Fan Capacity: 500,000+ (200,000 Seated)
Circuit Condition: Excellent Quality
Circuit Architecture: The circuit is defined by the long straightaway, that crosses over the Tivali-Morata Lake.
Circuit Description: The circuit will keep the drivers on their feet all race long. The race may be won and lost based soley on who can exit the first corner the best, as the momentum they get around the Tivali-Morata straightaway will be un-measurable. Many drivers will blow turn 3 and end up in the grass.

CURCUIT

Circuit Name: Sunderland Run
Number of Corners: 10
Circuit Length: 5021 Meters
Circuit Type: High Speed
Circuit Fan Capacity: 75,000 (All Seated)
Circuit Condition: Brand New (Built especially for the F1 season)
Circuit Architecture: Modern
Circuit Description: Designed for speed, The Sunderland Run is sure to give drivers an adrenaline rush on the long straights proving excellent over- taking opportunities. The track starts right in front of the brand new stadium full of seats. It starts off straight giving a few precious seconds to gain some places. From than point on there are a few corners (one hair pin) and a few straights. At the end is an up hill struggle to the top of the hill then a sudden surge of extreme acceleration to the bottom of the hill before a 200-metre dash to the finish.

Thats the 8th and 9th Tracks of the year done. I think the Vilitan one should be the final of the year, it is a suiting finale.

Indeed, Tonissia, that should be amounts in each portion. FLP gave a suiting demonstration, I believe.

Results, tommorow at 12:00 p.m. GMT.

Vilita would be honored to host the season finale in the outskirts of the Tivali Jungle, North East of the capital city of Alikki-Corra at the Tivali Ring Circuit.

Pick how much of the £10,000,000 to spend on each bit.

I can't remember exactly but I have like 1.5 mill on engine, 1 mill on engine reliability etc.
Two and a half Million on each

And nothing on everything else?

Ok, sorted!

You are in the test session, results 12:00 GMT tommorow.

So Tonissia:

Aerodynamics 2,5 mil
Engine Reliability 2,5 mil
Electronics Reliability 2,5 mil
Driver Development 2,5 mil

Zero for the rest.

Quite fun to see such a tactic. Nothing on the engine itself, must be quite a crappy engine, but you bet it's not going to get worse, it's really reliable ;D

Edit: oh you were even faster, sorry then, nevermind :)

Done!

The first race should be quite interesting. By the way, I have decided it shall be at Fimble Loving Peoples at Backstaffen Park, so FLP, I will need your confirmation that the circuit will be ready :)

A calendar will be released tommorow.

Heres another track from SN, or his puppet, for the record:

Country: Peoples Republic of MFL
Circuit Name: Mark McNeil Circuit
Number of Corners: 8
Circuit Length: 3.8km
Circuit Type: Urban
Circuit Fan Capacity: 65,000
Circuit Condition: Excellent
Circuit Architecture: Road pavement, excellent condition
Circuit Description: Mark McNeil Circuit goes through the two major streets of MFL City. It goes down the very long, straight road that makes up the front straightaway, it is the longest straightaway in formula 1. then it pulls onto a sharp left hairpin turn onto a hilly, winding road that curves until a sharp right followed by another left leads onto another main, straight, smooth, wide road which is about half the size of the front stretch, leading to another left hairpin turn, a sharp right, then over a bridge, then into a small technical section with a slow hairpin and a chicane followed by a small road that links back to the main street/frontstretch.

The track will be ready. It is run clockwise.

I personally wouldn't use it as the opener though. It's got one of the smallest capacities.

Ok, I will post the qualifying stuff at the same time as TGing you with the race tactics, so i can do all that on Sunday.

Ok. That's fine.

I would love to use it as the opener, some say Australia has the smallest capabilities and most are right, but it would make a brilliant opener. And I would rather not see my circuit being used twice in a row, bit boring.

Also, the initial calendar.

Circuit Condition: Very Good Quality
Circuit Architecture: The circuit is large, and very flat. The stands are very modern in their design, and the final straight has stands either sides, designed to be very claustraphobic and give a sense of speed.
Circuit Description: The circuit is for the most part straight, the corners are all fairly easy to get round, except for the one before the final straight which is renowed for causing spin outs when drivers hit it too fast. The climate in the area is unpredictable, swinging from either very wet or very dry.
