WGP2 6: World Grand Prix 2 Season 6 [RPs/Results]
Posted: Thu Sep 14, 2023 9:38 am
Credit to Liventia and Vilita and Turori for much of the structure of this opening post.
Driver signups are open throughout the season, to sign up a driver simply go to this thread to do so. However, they will not have a race seat unless signed by a team.
SEASON 6
RP/Results thread
Welcome to the RP and Results thread for World Grand Prix 2 Season 6. The season is currently in the negotiation period and driver signup phase.
To see how the negotiation period usually works, read below and/or have a look at WGPC 20's RP thread. Once you have signed a driver up, begin writing about them in this thread. The more interesting the story you create, the more chance your driver has of catching the eye of one of the WGP2 teams. There are no rankings. Success is built on good roleplaying by team-owners, drivers and team-mates as well as a big slice of luck, with your driver’s parameters coming into play too.
You may RP however you like. Maybe you'd prefer to tell the world that a couple of teams are interested in your driver via some rumour-mongering in your local newspapers? Perhaps you'd like to set up an interview with a team? Maybe your driver has a big social media presence or can’t keep out of the news for all the wrong reasons? A popular tactic in recent years has been for teams to hold an open-invitation trial for a number of drivers to test their car around a local circuit, with the best driver/drivers being chosen for the team, so look out for those as well. There is no 'right' way to do it, and the only 'wrong' way to do it would be to attempt to confirm your driver is racing with a team before any real negotiations, OOC, IC or otherwise, have taken place.
You may also wish to consider the massive difference in pay between an experienced driver with a good reputation and a newcomer. In RL Formula 1, the best drivers are paid handsomely to drive while the newcomers often have to pay a team in order to secure a drive. Does your driver need to secure sponsorship in order to pay his way into a deal? Or is he a skilled driver with years of experience, upon whom a team can rely to draw money to the team through external sponsorship and win bonuses?
When you wish to confirm that a driver has joined a team, or formally offer a spot in your team to a driver, do so in bold, like this or this or this or simply like this. I would like to request that all confirmations take place at the top of the respective posts.
Finally, as this is the RP thread, there should be no out-of-character chatter here. Take your observations, commentary and complaints to the OOC discussion thread.
A SPECIAL NOTE ON RP LENGTHS IN THE REGULAR SEASON
During the pre-season, there will be no restrictions on RP length. Please take note of the following RP length restriction during the regular season.
There will be two RP cutoffs per week, one on Friday and one on Sunday. However, all bonus accrued for each cutoff will count for that race.
This means that if you write two roleplays a week — one on Thursday and one on Sunday — they will count towards a total for that week's Feature Race.
I will note here that it will be possible to reach the max RP grade with one roleplay per week.
RP bonus will use the standard depreciation formula in TRS.
EACH RP CUTOFF HAS A WORD LIMIT OF 1250 WORDS. Anything exceeding this limit per cutoff window will not be graded.
Cutoffs will occur at 1400 UTC on Fridays and Sundays of race weekends unless otherwise stated. There is very little chance for an extension. You have a deadline, write to it.
DRIVERS & TEAMS
Thirteen (13) teams will be taking part this season. A special fourteenth team, WGP2 Motorworks, will run up to four drivers that have not been signed by any team. These seats will be allocated by the host. Teams will be allowed to sign up to two (2) drivers, with the possibility of also signing up a third driver. That last bit is optional, however.
All teams must have made a concerted effort to offer both seats out before the second pre-season test. Failure to adhere to this may result in the expulsion of the team.
All teams must have an engine supplier and tyre supplier confirmed before the first pre-season practice session. If no indication is provided, teams will be allocated the stock engine and tyre supplier.
Teams are advised against signing two drivers from their own nation, if they have two signed up.
FREE AGENT DRIVERS
ENGINES
Teams are free to choose from any of the below engine suppliers. One engine supplier from the signed-up suppliers will be chosen as the stock engine — for teams who have not indicated their choice of engine. WGP2 Motorworks will use the stock engine.
TYRES
Teams are free to choose from any of the below tyre suppliers. One tyre supplier from the signed-up suppliers will be chosen as the stock tyre — for teams who have not indicated their choice of tyre. WGP2 Motorworks will use the stock tyre.

Please note that all dates in this schedule are in UTC.

RP NOTES
You are recommended to read this section in its entirety, especially if you are a first-time entrant to WGPC.
* Due to the nature of the sport, there are no RP permissions in WGPC. You should expect your drivers and/or teams to be mentioned by other players. You may even expect other users to mention things your driver has said.
* In contrast to, say, war RPing, where a user decides which/how many losses to take after an attack, in WGPC a user decides how much blame or responsibility to take after an accident. You may RP that your driver caused an accident through their own poor or overly aggressive driving, but you may not write that another user's driver was at fault for an accident unless you have their permission. In general, making another character look stupid is not usually acceptable. If a driver is in their first season, it's probably acceptable to call them a rookie, or inexperienced, or possibly even naive if you're sufficiently careful, but refrain from calling another driver reckless or stupid or unskilled unless it's clear from the other user's RPs that this is the case.
* If you're going to RP a conversation between your driver and another driver, try to keep to the other driver's established characteristics.
* If another user mentions an action of your driver, or mentions something that happened to your driver, before you have the chance to RP, you may either reinterpret their interpretation of events or, if you really feel you wanted the story to go in a different direction, you may change the events that happened. For example, you had your heart set on RPing your driver as having had a particularly violent and explosive accident, but another user decides that your driver retired in the pits due to engine failure, you may write your own version and ask that the previous RPer makes the appropriate change to their RP.
* Any disputes over RPing will be adjudicated by the season hosts, whose decision is final.
* Team instructions to intentionally cause accidents will result in a penalty for the team.
* Collaboration between users is highly encouraged!
Driver signups are open throughout the season, to sign up a driver simply go to this thread to do so. However, they will not have a race seat unless signed by a team.
