NASJAR 1 [Jet Racing Signups/Discussion]

[Jebslund]

41 would be fine!

Awesome, thank you. I'll change it in a moment.
Also, again, my apologies for the confusion.

No worries!

Pilot and track lists have been updated.

[Jebslund]

Just a reminder: The cutoff for new applicants to NASJAR is this Wednesday, the 15th!

[Jebslund]

Last call for new entries! At 1530 Pacific time tomorrow, signups for new teams will be closed. From that time, nations listed in the OP will have one week to add pilots and courses and lock in their entries. Once everyone is locked in or the deadline arrives, whichever comes first, race days will be determined.

[Northwest Kalactin]

Pilot: James McNeil
Number: 54

[Lisander]

Pilot 1 and 2 - Sadne Marès e Salo Marès
Age: 26 (both)
Gender: Female (Sadne), Male (Salo)
Aircraft Number: #02 for Sadne, #03 for Salo.
Appearance: Should be up soon.
Level: 8 (Sadne), 7 (Salo).

Sadne and Salo are respectively daughter and son of the former Lisanderian air force Air Rear Admiral¹, Serge Marès. They are fraternal twins aged 26 and served four years in the Lisanderian Aerial Armada before leaving for a sabbatical year and joining air racing. They are very close to each other since childhood. They had enough money to buy one jet plane and participate in NASJAR as a team, but with some money provided by two sponsors (Bitten Heroes GPE, same one sponsoring WGP2 and Nordland, an airline based in Lorenthia) they made ends meet and bought a couple of Vassiyan Strigoi².

Notes:
¹: in Lisander, Air Force was introduced in a time where aircraft were named based on Navy stuff, like "Airships", so the Lisanderian force is called the "Aerial Armada".
²: Strigoi is the Vassiyan (Romenian) word for Vampire. Vassiya is one of my puppets.

Pilot list has been updated!

[Jebslund]

New signups are officially closed!

Everyone who has posted to sign up has until 1530 PDT (3:30PM Pacific Daylight Time) on Wednesday, August 22nd, to add pilots and/or courses. The goal is to end up with a total of 20-22 pilots (reaching 40 at this point is an unrealistic ask). We are, as of the writing of this post, sitting at 14 pilots and 5 courses. Once you are all sure you won't want to add anything, please post saying you're locking in your applications.

Should we fail to reach the goal for pilots, I will fill the field with random pilots. These pilots will not gain any RP benefit, nor will they gain points from races. They will be there for no other reason than to _{satisfy my OCD} fill the field. All advancement spots will be filled by players.


Cannot believe I missed that "ass"...

Cannot believe I missed that "ass"...

I am thinking about maybe adding a fourth pilot and a third track, maybe something up north almost to the point of freezing, this time. Would you allow an air race from a point A to a point B, not in a circle, but a rally-race with 'challenges' for the pilots to take for more points then just being fast?

Yes, though I'm not entirely sure if Xkoranate has a function for that. I'll need to mess with it at some point.

Well, if it is easier for both you and the software to handle, then I can always go with a normal course. Your call.

Lemme play around with Xkoranate when I get home and get back to you RE the course.

After some experimentation...:

A course that's just one run is doable, though the times will be basically based on where each pilot is in the course, though the challenges will either have to be based on roleplay, and added as skill points, or done in future competitions, when I've had more practise and time to experiment with Xkoranate.

So... technically, yes, but practically no?

Basically. It'd be extra work, and everyone would need to be willing to do said work, and that would need to be arranged in advance so everyone's on board.

Okay. Then I'll just make it a normal course in the Frozen North.

[Lisander]

[...]please post saying you're locking in your applications.

Locking in. No more pilots from Lisander.

Alright... on we go. Btw, I decided to not post a third course, two in the Free Lands are sufficient - and an air race past the arctic circle would be... logistically interesting, to say the least.
Short question, though, would you mind me 'advertising' this on Piffle and maybe Sets?

Name: Erblin Piteog of the Tribe of Wicklow.
Year of Birth: 1989
Aircraft Number: 07
Appearance: Here.

Erblin Piteog of the Tribe of Wicklow was born as son of Lieutenant Commander Finley Piteog of the Tribe of Wicklow, an aviator in the services of the SDF-Navy, his mother dying due to complications. He was raised by his father, who, due to the intervention of Vice-Admiral Curadh, was henceforth only posted ashore, as well as his squadron.
He was also raised with a love for flying and aircraft as well, soon in his young life being introduced to the Sneachta Naval Reconnaissance Plane and Submarine Hunter, his father taking him on the odd patrol (which was not allowed, but which he did anyway). He had a nice and good childhood, but quickly learning when he came into puberty, that girls held little for him - boys, however...
He graduated High School and followed in his father's footsteps, not into the SDF, but into the Skies, which he accepted with a grin and a pat onto the shoulders. At Flight School, he was quickly embroiled into fierce competition with fellow student Raidri Leathchúpla of the Tribe of Navan, who dragged him into air races and trouble, soon making his licenses for jet aircraft and propeller aircraft, getting his hands on an old Ulóg Transport Plane, which he used to begin his own little passenger business, flying the line from Fortham to Traverse.
But air races... they had never left his mind and when in 2012, the Rally Fortham-Rua was announced to have a section for transporters, he was in, flying his Ulóg to the eigth place. From there, he had sniffed blood, getting his hands on an old, vintage Sciathán Iolar, a long-range fighter in service with the SDF in the 30s and 40s, before he began to participate in air races in earnest, getting his first victory in 2016. His business was turned into a request-only business, his line abandoned. When participants were searched for the NASJAR 1 Cup, he was onboard almost immediately.
Erblin is openly homosexual and has a boyfriend.

Wonderful to hear! I wasn't kidding, by the way, I will post regular updates/news stories of NASJAR on Piffle.

[Shayla]

Year of birth: 1991.
Aircraft Number: 16.
Appearance:

Madison comes from a family of Air Force Veterans. Her grandfather Sir Edward Jones is the current secretary of the Air Force. Madison has been flying since she was legally able to at 16. She switched over to jet racing at 18. Madison is currently enrolled in the Air Force, as well attaining the rank Captian and command of the Nation's most Famous Squadron.

[spoiler=Race- Yellow Plains Air Race]
Name: Yellow Plains Air Race
Course Record: 13:34:615
Laps:5
Course Description: Pilots begin the race on the Mare Airstrip in The Mare Region of Shayla. Pilots take off using the strip and immediately find themselves over the Rolling Hills before the Yellow Plains. The rolling hills is constains beutiful untamed green grass and marks the safest part of the course. There is no height requirement for this part of the course, however it is ill advised to fly above 800m due to the sturbulence. The first checkpoint of the course is the Bigfoot & Bearclaw Mountain Peaks. Pilots must pass through the opening between the Peaks and may not fly over them. After passing through, the turbulence grows and pilots have the choice of dropping lower to the ground or remaining high in the air. Pilots must make a half circle around the "Big Rock" Mountain . After passing by the Mountain Pilots must make a dash forwards until they reach the town of Alexandria, which they must pass on the outskirts of town. After passing by they must make another half circle turn and begin to return to the Alexandria Regional Airstrip.
