I will be writing an RP tomrrow, but for anyone RPing before me I do have small story involving an Incident between the #16 of Orton and Andrew Holden (I have got Lisanders permission)

Also I plan on having the race end under yellow or overtime due to Walters wrecking. This is if I can get permission from a couple people first

Stuck working mornings this week so I won't rp till this afternoon. Hence you guys are getting a heads up

I don't want to change my RP about Patterson trying to chase down Qiang, and I wrote that with the idea it was happening under green.

If you want to have a wreck around the end of the race, maybe do it during Qiang's cooldown lap.

There were no DNF's in the fifth segment. Why would we have it finish under yellow? That's a bit of a godmod when there were no DNF's recorded in that segment.

[Newmanistan]

I have a question. The schedule says that the top 16 drivers advance to the Chase, but it also says that all race winners advance. Since there are 20 races in the regular season, what happens if there are more than 16 different winners? Do you rely on points to choose the top 16, or do you have more than 16 advance?

It will just be the top 16 drivers, so technically, it could be that a race winner doesn't make it. I removed the portion that you have referenced, it got through on a cut and paste job.

[Xanneria]

I wouldn't want to RP a yellow flag ending but I'm not sure if Newmanistan has ever thought about.

My plan was to explain Walters sort of out of place (in comparison to the rest of the team) was to have him wreck with a few laps to go but get the car just repaired enough to finish the race.

A short two three lap shootout at the end could fit within everyones RP in the most basic sinse.

[Saint Kanye]

Then let him have a green flag pit stop. That way you don't have to put a caution in the last segment.

[Cassadaigua]

The ending of the race has now been RP'd. It finished under green. Race winners should kinda have dibs on that.

[Saint Kanye]

In order to match with Cass' RP, Stiller's spin now happened with 29 to go instead of 12. Kerman was now the one Stiller failed to block, but she would get passed by Sharpe, setting up the ending.

[Newmanistan]

I have made some changes to the schedule, mainly on August dates.

However I did move back race #4. I just felt that I was having races 3 and 4 too close together by that having been a Thursday/Friday race. I am on a mini vacation from 6/29-7/2 so do not wish to scorinate this on those days. (If I need to scorinate the possible game 7 of the WBC on 6/30, that's fine because it doesn't take long. This does!)

Also: Drivers from the CTE Communist Nation of B will be eliminated and will not be restored. There was some chatter about Caleonia, who is at 14 days of inactivity. If they CTE, those spots in the field will not become guaranteed charters and become two more spaces that "Need to qualify" drivers qualify into.

First Time Nations who have not RP'd yet and Filindostan: Be warned, you will lose one guaranteed spot after race #7 if you do not RP before then. That will become a spot "need to qualify" drivers can qualify into. This would have been one full month since the start of the season. The second spot will be vacated after race #12.

The first priority before giving charters to other RPers is to open up a few more spots for need to qualify drivers to have.

[Hapilopper]

So, if I'm understanding correctly, that would mean seven drivers would have to qualify their way in instead of five if Caleonia does indeed CTE, is that correct?

[The Sherpa Empire]

Race 12 (July 30/31)- Nürburg Raceway, Caleonia (Superspeedway)
Race 13 (July 30/31)- Toys '4' All 500, Lonngeylin Ring, Lonngeylin, Vilita (Short Track)

I'm guessing one of these will get changed at some point?

[Newmanistan]

Yes, it would increase from five drivers qualifying in to seven qualifying in, so there is more opportunity for those drivers.

Race 12 (July 30/31)- Nürburg Raceway, Caleonia (Superspeedway)

Thanks, proofreader! Fixed!

[Hapilopper]

Nice! Chet Byrd will appreciate that.

[New Northwesteros]

Nystrom and Xu too.

Edit: What will happen to Caleonia's race date if he CTE's?

Edit 2:

[The Sherpa Empire]

Someone should tell Qiang he's got a guaranteed charter. He doesn't seem to realize.

[Vilita and Turori]

Nystrom and Xu too.

Edit: What will happen to Caleonia's race date if he CTE's?

Looks like Newmanistan had already prepared for that potential eventuality...

Race 12 (July 30/31)- Nürburg Raceway, Caleonia (Superspeedway)
Race 13 (July 30/31)- Toys '4' All 500, Lonngeylin Ring, Lonngeylin, Vilita (Short Track)

I'm guessing one of these will get changed at some point?

I did some open-ended interaction with Jebslund and The Sherpa Empire. ^^

So for me, I took the loss in position for Jolyn as her rear-ending Lexi, while Lexi herself is not affected and I didn't do any godmodding/typing out her actions.

Please do let me know if there are problems with the recent post.

[The Sherpa Empire]

Probably makes more sense to talk about "lodgings" or "hotels" rather than "residences" since people are coming from all over the world.

Ahh, gotcha. Thanks! ^^

The Starkville race will be 423 laps, so each segment is 70 laps, except for the final one which is 73. For example, something that happens in the Segment 5 portion of the scorination will happen between Laps 281 to 350.

[Newmanistan]

Nystrom and Xu too.

Edit: What will happen to Caleonia's race date if he CTE's?

I'll likely give the race date to someone who has been RP'ing often but only has the one race. He still has two weeks, though, could just be a summer break.

[Jebslund]

Not ignoring you, Val, just didn't have time to write the post I wanted to. I'll respond in my next post.

Are you trying to one three-up my 420 lap race?

[Saint Kanye]

No, it's just math. A 300-mile race on a 0.71 mile track will have 423 laps.

[Xanneria]

No, it's just math. A 300-mile race on a 0.71 mile track will have 423 laps.

I'm still not used to people using a Milage distance for a race at a sub 1-mile race track

Nah, it's fine, don't worry about it. ^^

I will get around writing my Qualifications post first, then, then I will respond back to both of you in a separate section.
