Oh dear, I missed today's cut off and alas, poor Jolyn. Didn't get the RP bonus for the G6MR folks.

I might be a bit busy today on the account of me celebrstin tmy brother's birthday a tad late. Only getting the cake today thanks to busy delivery services and because we were only free today.

EDIT: Rip spelling... "celebrating my brother's birthday".

I believe Technically there is no cutoff for qualifying so you didn't miss anything really

That was my understanding too.

I've been doing separate quali and race RPs for many races because it's a habit. It helps me keep up with shared plot threads and I just find the rhythm easier. But it should be possible to stay competitive if you do one really good RP instead of two separate ones.

I remembered those days where I tired myself with way too many RPs. One for Qualifications, one for Race, and detailing the race so hard. That was a mistake, haha! But a good lesson, nonetheless.

Now I usually just do two RPs - one for each of my puppets, and I lumped everything into one super post. Unless of course, there are exceptions like character interactions, such as with Jamie and the Yeti.

I mean, I got two racers from bottom 15 and DNQs to top 20 and 25s with one shabby RP. One good one is definitely enough to be competitive.

EDIT: Also, gonna try something when I get home. Not sure if it'll work or not, but Vanda Rosa might try getting in touch with a certain god. Curiosity may or may not kill the cat.

I would say the quality of your RPs has been variable -- possibly correlated to how much free time you had that day -- not consistently bad. (Some do have a "wrote it in a hurry just to get something up before the cut-off" look.)

Go for it. Since Yuqiang is a public domain character, not my creation, you've got a lot of leeway to write about him.

Wait, are the latest races done or what?

We're in the middle of a season. If you don't have a driver, but you'd like to get involved mid-season, instructions are here: viewtopic.php?p=38144437#p38144437

I posted there. Is there a general guideline on how the car should be?

If I'm being honest, most of those in the parenthetical category have more to do with me not having any good ideas and busting out the cat-o-nine-tails on myself rather than lack of time (I think a couple were actually lack of time, though).

If I can get something coherent together, I will.

It needs to be an actual signup post.
That linked post though applies from here to the end of the season for anyone wishing for a spot in the second tier.

As a Steelers fan I feel both excited about my race and just downright disgusted by the lack of effort Pittsburgh has had so far

[Saint Kanye]

Lol wonder what happened between Tian and Lee there.

[Sword Island]

I'm planning to write one big ass RP and summary after this race

[Strike]

Feel free to write liberally about the VTM drivers and Tiones as I won't be RPing for this race until Friday!

I think I might make the Brisbane Million a permanent fixture of my race. Next season I might have the top 5 in points plus race winners that season and the polesitter eligible.

Tian being Tian, mostly.

Ahh, you win some, you lose some!

I wonder if Anastasia legitimately DNFed... Or someone pushed her like NSSCRA 9.

Also writing my domestic results stuff later.

That's yours to decide.

Yeah, I know. Just a speculation, haha! Knowing me right now, I would probably chalk it up to her own accident, unless someone would like to interact with me. ^^

Wondering if Sage wrecked out or had an issue with the car?

Hendo spun him out. I TGed Hap and he didn't mind.

Hendo spun him out. I TGed Hap and he didn't mind.

This is probably the likely, at least in my opinion, series of events:

Hendo is stuck behind Sage for the first few laps and decides to punt him into the grass in the hairpin because he wouldn't let her go.

Also this could spark a bit of a Team Blue-GFR rivalry or at least a Caldwell- Henderson feud.

[Saint Kanye]

More likely the latter. Brooke is too nice and Thea too innocent to get in feuds. And they never saw anything wrong with Drake or Bronson.

It all started in Vilita, really:

Lonngeylin Ring, Lonngeylin, Vilita
The Toys ‘4’ All 500

Midway through the race, Taylor nailed someone in the rear going into the third turn, sending them into a spin. Drake had to take evasive action to avoid t-boning the driver, but still took some damage as he hit the spinning car ever-so-slightly in the right front.

“God damn, Hendo, maybe clean up your act a little bit,” Drake said to his teammate. “I get it’s a short track and you wanted to prove a point, but you didn’t have to clean that one guy out! I mean, hell, I almost got collected in that.”

“He was in the way,” Taylor responded flippantly.

Lonngeylin Ring, Lonngeylin, Vilita
Shortly after the Toys 4 All 500

"Yeah, and then some maniac decided to turn this race into Hit and Run: San Pablo or whatever and just spin someone out. I'm not against racing someone hard, but it's gotta be clean; if you're causing a wreck, you're doing it wrong. I think you guys know just who the hell I'm talking about." Caldwell wasn't the one who got spun out, but he did lose several positions while trying to dodge whoever was.

I found a game-making storefront and had the idea of publishing an NSSCRA game. Is there anything you might want( i.e. certain game modes, cover drivers, etc.)?
