Yea, for the quick and simple explanation, "Cocoabo Park" is the place where the skilled Cocoabo get trained up. The Cocoabo Preservation Society (A Turorian entity, on Toralmintii's car) and Tropicorp (Itself) went into a joint venture to form Cocoabo Park and since Tropicorp is the researchy side of the house, the Cocoabo tend to drive for Tropicorp teams and not V&T Teams who "take things more seriously" :)

Something about Cocoabo Park seems so dystopian. I feel bad that those poor animals are cooped up in cages and experimented on.

Note the key first word though

It's the Cocoabo Enrichment and Enhancement Project (CEEP)

Surely that means its for their own benefit, right?

I see that as more for the company's enrichment. I've avoided the RP arc, because the Vannish media creates enough drama. It's just the way it reads to me.

I'm planning to render a new species for Oceanic Vangaziland. It should be interesting.

We will debut our open charter driver at our own race later this month. You probably know who that will be. She can be assigned #30.

PS: The Ferret Lands, on their signup, referenced this track as having "a lot of crashing". So tomorrow for the race, I will be setting a minimum time to avoid DNF that is conducive to a lot of crashing.


let the games begin!

She doesn't get along with a fellow Sherpa (Qiang), let alone a Kanyean.

In some cases, she actually gets along with the foreign drivers better than she does with Qiang. She is a bit obsessed with him in a not-nice way.

Like who? Does she have a crush like Qiang does?

And also curious, what would her English name be? Qiang is "Victor Strong", right? And Chu?

No crushes. Just that she is jealous of Qiang's reputation back home in the Sherpa Empire, and she is racist against him because he is mixed-ethnicity. The foreign drivers don't have that baggage.

And also curious, what would her English name be? Qiang is "Victor Strong", right? And Chu?


Liangmei Li is "Belle Plum" -- original Chinese: 李亮美

Tsering is a Sherpa name and I don't know what it means. I didn't have a specific Chinese character in mind when I picked the name "Chu," but it may be 处 (to get along with).

My plan is for Stiller to not be part of the big one, just have it unfold in front of him and fail to avoid it.

Also: Houston and second place, name a more iconic duo.

It is going against the scorinator. Li and Qiang were eliminated late in the race, and you can tell by the timing that Sharpe and Stiller had nothing to do with it.
