World Grand Prix Championships S15: OOC Discussion Thread

Quite like your concepts, Esmerel. I went ahead and tried out a different font, and just made the logo rather than adding it to an image:

Let me know what you all think (the bottom text might be a bit polarizing but that's nothing a quick fix can't... er... fix).

I love the pink logos. Which font is that? I may steal it for WGPC16.

It's (appropriately named) Unsteady Oversteer. Found it on dafont and loved it.

Loving the logos - top left is my pick.

Wondering about the text at the bottom though: it reads "World Grand Prix Championship 2", which sound like it's the second season of the WGPC. Seeing as this is a second-tier comp to the Championship, it should probably just read "World Grand Prix 2", or maybe "World Grand Prix Formula 2".

Just to note that I won't be here for most of Sunday or Monday.

Understood, should we try to wrap up the First City posts today then?

Also, there's a decent chance I'll edit my latest post to have some pre race stuff, but I only posted the first part for now to avoid missing the cutoff.

Given the content of that post, that not only makes sense based on the time available but also works narratively. I will have something ready soon.

Edit: Two things to say.

1. Juliano has just beaten Terho's lap record. This will mean war.
2. Why are the lap times in the second qualifying session so spread out?

What if we created a WGOC version for a Formula Libre?

1. Juliano has just beaten Terho's lap record. This will mean war.

By the way, Juliano is one of the nicest people in WGPC. He's totally a simpleton. Humble and technical. A Babyface, if we use Wrestling lingo. He's trying to be a good team partner for Mick Schramm, suggesting improvement, even if he considers Mick a scrub who can't hear properly any advice. I can even hear he talking about this with the reporters:

"Oh, no... There's no war, at least not for me. I'm happy because I'm here, and I only want to do my best every race. I'm still young and have lots of things to learn. I can assure I present no real harm to anyone."

It's not Juliano that I'm thinking about...

Is it Terho? He's not mean, he'll just get frustrated and really fight for the win.

Well, exactly.

Driver mistakes are built into the scorinator, so a few laps usually come out slower than one would expect. There's only 3/4 laps in the second half of qualifying, so there's a chance that a driver could have made a mistake for all of them, according to the scorinator and its random numbers.

The chances of this happening decrease as you add in more laps.

Cut off on the way

Maria and Red Lion blowing every chance to come within striking distance of the title is becoming a tired meme...

[Esmerel]

A meme that I don't want to be a part of any longer. If Jean fails to score in Krytenia, he will withdraw from the championship with immediate effect. There's still a chance he'll sign on for Season 16, but it's increasingly lower than it was earlier...

Is that a personal thing, or is it just IC? What I mean is, if Jean doesn't sign up for next year, will you sign a different driver?

Works for me. I mean, our best chance of catching up as a team is if both he and Maria get onto podium in the last weeks, but an opening would give me a chance for a Jeremy and Maria reunion since Fireline isn't doing anything.

It's sort of both. I'm going through a rough part of my life, and it's only getting worse when I find out Jean failed to finish for the third race in a row. In-character, Jean is increasingly distancing himself now, doing whatever it takes to win, and like I am, his morale is the lowest of the low.

I was very depressed at the moment I made that earlier post, and now I'd say he'll make it to the end of the season, but expect it to be a bumpy ride.

[Aboveland]

Tuning in to say I won't be able to post anything at all this weekend. I'm finally going to Rally Argentina

Well, congrats! I... have no idea what it is. But enjoy!

However, neither of the Abovians receiving an RP bonus could leave another opening for Jean...

If he can even finish, that is. It's getting really annoying by this point...

[The Redvale]

And with that, the first part of the end of season Maria melt down is here. I gotta have some reason why she doesn't return when I switch to my other nation next season after all. Just how sad/tragic things turn out depends on the results, though...

[Esmerel]

Holy crap. It's a Red Lion lockout. In both sessions. This could be HUGE. Let's just hope the cars don't have any more reliability problems- oh, what was that? Jean's had another engine failure? FFS.

Just kidding. But seriously, if there's anything on that bloody car that goes wrong...

Slightly disappointed with that second session after matching Jean in the first, but that's the risk of running a low reliability driver.

[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

Oh, dear. I think Ryker just broke.

[The Redvale]

Well, it looks like Red Lion is going to keep things interesting going into the end of the season! And for added drama, it looks like Maria dropped a spot to her teammate, likely because of a team order. Will she ever recover from blowing another win? Well, you'll have to wait till the next post to see that.

[Esmerel]

OH YES! Our patience has paid off!

And as for how Jean won and not Maria, I really wouldn't want it to be a team order. Why would the team support the number two driver anyways?

How will Esmerel and Jean react? What will happen on Jean and Stefeni's road trip around Esmerel? Who will take the title in the final two races? We'll all find out in the next few posts...
