WGP2 Season One - Driver Signups (Open)/OOC Thread

[Esmerel]

It's gotten eerily quiet around here...

[Eastfield Lodge]

Right, sorry about that. Been caught up with exams and stuff.

Team and Circuit applications are closed! All 12 teams will be accepted, along with all 15 circuits - final decision on test circuits/race circuits will be made in a week (i.e. after I finish exams).

Driver signups are still open, and encouraged (we only have 24 drivers for the 12 teams). If we don't get enough signups to fill the spots available, I'll be partial to users signing up a third driver (max two from one nation).

IC Thread will be up soon is HERE! Bear in mind that I won't be doing any more updates until Saturday, at the earliest - neither the IC or the OOC threads.

First post for me up. FYI,
1: It's a longer one because there's a good chance that I won't be making too many posts during the negotiation phase.
2: In case anyone missed what went on, Zhen provoked Luna into a fight intentionally to get her off of the Team Isla payroll.

Armo Lehto will be staying home in the Syndicate, and I'll have that announcement up very soon, also.

Apologies for my poorly-timed absence - my internet went down a couple of days ago. I should have something up soon, though!

[Esmerel]

Gonna get something up soon as well but I'm in the middle of final exams. Ninth grade exams, but still.

[Vilita and Turori]

Guys, you don't have to apologize for not having something up. I mean, you can if you want to - but the thread has only just gone up. Even the host is going to be pretty quiet this whole week.

If you need a break from real life and want to spend your free time contributing to the thread, then do it. If you don't have time this week and can't justify forcing time for it, its ok. Just contribute when you get around to it.

What he said. Take your time guys, the negotiation period isn't going anywhere. Still have, like, three weeks to get things done. I'll schedule the pre-season test according to how active it's been.

Not a bad signup. However, it needs a change or else it won't work. The three stats are within the limit for each of them, however the stats added up also have a limit, and these stats currently exceed that limit. 3.5 + 4 + 5 is 12.5, and the limit for all stats combined is 12. Consider revising.

Oh, I wasn't aware of such limits. Thanks for reminding, should be within limits now.

I've decided to move the Obey test to next Friday due to low activity within the thread, giving people more time to sign up.

[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

This won't be the entirety of my post; my internet access has been patchy over the last few days, so I'm getting this much up while I know that I can.

[Aboveland]

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't posted anything yet in the IC thread, but I've got an awful flu right now and can barely move bear with me please; I'll get something up when I can

[Esmerel]

The Obey test has now been perpetually postponed until further notice. Things in the RP thread just haven't gotten going for everyone's various reasons and such. The test will be held once more or less everyone is doing something, and more people have signed up for the test.

Those who have reserved spots in the test, do not worry, you will still be reserved.

[Former Citizens of the Nimbus System]

Hey guys,

Sorry I haven't posted anything yet in the IC thread, but I've got an awful flu right now and can barely move :( bear with me please; I'll get something up when I can

Your health must always come first; I wish you a swift and full recovery!

[Esmerel]

Made a mock-up of Rebecca's Nexus car.

[Aboveland]

Okay, so I've already managed to design the new GP track for Aboveland at which Novikov Racing will be based. Post up tomorrow perhaps? Yay!

[The Iron Syndicate]

Hey guys. Just want to say I'm still completely interested. I'll have another longish post up pretty soon, and my inactivity in rugby doesn't denote that I'm dropping this in any way.

Something like that is indeed lined up, yes!

[Esmerel]

Obey testing results are in.

[Aboveland]

Oh, I think I should say that the Novikov Racing test will be scorinated with Xkoranate. Just that

[Eastfield Lodge]

Provisional schedule has been added to the RP thread OP - driver and team signings will be added within the next day.

Driver signups have been updated - Karelo-Finland's signup has been rejected as the driver stats only add up to 11. That brings us up to 25 drivers, and a friendly bump for anyone who still wants to add a driver, time is beginning to run out.

[Aboveland]

To avoid confusion, the "prototypes" in my previous post were unrelated to the WGP2 car. It's my super secret not so secret plan for next year's WGPC.
