NSSCRA Discussion Thread

I assume defunct brands are fair game? Just asking, not that I'd use those.

They are fine as long as it is not accompanied with something, "the company has been resurrected in Mynationstan after sponsoring XXX".

@Kanye, good stuff, I love the one-liner you gave for the Valentians! ^^

One question though, what does the (R) mean beside the driver? Was it something about them being new, or... oh, Rookie?

[Saint Kanye]

Rookie. I didn't give the part-timers that title though.

And thanks.

Sherpa, what's the current exchange rate for Sherpa currency/ies?

Also, how do rupees, lakhs, and crore compare to each other?

Also, Kanye, slight correction: Löwe and Bartpinguin are the cars. BDA Armory and Sie Nah Fleet Systems Automobil-Bereich are the manufacturers.

[The Sherpa Empire]

Sherpa, what's the current exchange rate for Sherpa currency/ies?

$1 = ₹113.94

Also, how do rupees, lakhs, and crore compare to each other?

Lakh = ₹100,000

Thank ye!

One Meat, if you're curious, is $46.94, as far as NSSCRA is concerned (one gram of gold at time of writing. Was going to go with one ounce, but that would have been... Ridiculous.).

Further subdivisions/denominations:
Rack: 100 Meats
Cutlet: 10 Meats
Slice: 0.5 Meats
Giblet: 0.1 Meats
Tenpiece: 0.01 Meats
Scrap: 0.001 Meats
Crumb: 0.0002 Meats

No coins are publicly available any more except in historic areas/sites. Visitors to Jebslund are given a purchase card with currency they've exchanged for on it, which can be reloaded at any time, while citizens have a chip implanted that allows them to spend their money and a card as a backup.

Can people just use foreign credit cards?

[Jebslund]

Can people just use foreign credit cards?

Yep!

[Saint Kanye]

Also, Kanye, slight correction: Löwe and Bartpinguin are the cars. BDA Armory and Sie Nah Fleet Systems Automobil-Bereich are the manufacturers.

Yup, fixed.

As for currency discussions, ℂ1 = NS$2. Despite the name "coinye", bills are available. Foreign credit cards allowed, as well as the HapiCorp check.

[Valentine Z]

Just as a side info and trivia, 1 Valentian Credit = USD / NSD 2.07.

Denominations are right here (shameless self-plug): https://www.nationstates.net/nation=valentine_z/detail=factbook/id=532879

My currency pics were eaten by Tinypic (RIP), so I'm gonna remake them one day. Sad!

Next time, warn me when you're about to kick me in the feels. I've got so many images in various threads and on various sites that got eaten by tinypic.

[The Sherpa Empire]

In the Sherpa Empire, it's a good idea to carry cash for street vendors and small businesses, but you can use credit cards at larger businesses.

Travelers' checks are basically only accepted at places that cater to rich tourists or international businesspeople.

[Abanhfleft]

Oh, and if everyone was wondering, the exchange rate in Abanhfleft is currently pegged at 1 NSD = 4 new penenks.

Hi! I've actually posted something. Just a little 'disclaimer' - please ignore the Ford & Goodyear logos on the cars I have included - they can't be removed in Forza (so far as I know). So literally pretend they don't exist.

If you want me to, I could try Photoshopping it out from the car tomorrow or so. ^^;

I will just need the full-res / original images you got so that I have more room to work with.

But I don't think it should be an issue... I think, anyway, since we are not referring to Ford in any capacity.

Ok! So I'm reading through the schedule, and as a newbie to NSSCRA, i have a couple of questions.

1. Why are there two dates posted for each race? Is the first date qualifying, and the second date the actual race? Or does it mean something else?
2. What is the cutoff time each night?

1) First date is for qualifications, with the second date for actual race. ^^

2) The cutoff, AFAIK, starts at 9 AM for me and the results before 10 AM... at least, from what I remembered. These are all GMT +8 for me. Which is... around 1 AM to 2 AM for Los Angeles (I just chose a random US city, hope that's useful. ><)

The cutoff times were in the evening like 9 or 10 PM for me in the eastern US, which would make them 6 or 7 PM in Los Angeles. I don't know if they'll be the same time this season, but unless Newmanistan tells us otherwise, I would expect them to be in the evening for the Americans, not in the middle of the night.

On race day, there's a bit of a delay between cut-off and the posting of results, because it takes time for Newmanistan to compile the results. Qualification results come up faster.

Western US (Arizona). I can confirm it's been around 6.

The results are doing rather great with Photoshop. I'll add more refined touches and send it to you tomorrow. ^^

- Removed Ford logo.
- Removed Goodyear logo.

Whoops, I thought I had included the cutoff time in the regular thread, it is there now.

Cutoff time is 9:00PM, Eastern USA time. And I pretty much cutoff right on the dot, especially on a race day! Usually I am clearing out the spreadsheet I use for sorting the info in the bit of time right before it, so I am ready to pull the trigger when the clock hits nine. If it's 8:59 and you're still typing, I highly suggest submitting at that time. I think it was Vilita who was pretty good about those 8:58pm posts. On average I notice it seems to take me 60-75 minutes to post the race data. So I do want to get the bed afterwards, too. I'm one of those people that have to get up too early. On a qualifying day it might not be as prompt right on the dot because it takes not take nearly as long.

Don't worry about logos like that. I don't want what I said previously to be misinterpreted as being a watchdog over that kind of thing. All imagery is very appreciated.
