Also, Esmerel, I've accepted your team signup, but I assume you meant to use Acceleration/Cornering/Reliability instead of Aggression/Technique/Reliability for the Obey Sport GP team.

OK, I'll add this, but from this point, can anyone adding signups please put them into a separate post, thanks?

As a host in general (not as this competitions host, for that you have to wait for a response from EFL) - I would advise caution regarding the use of off-thread items unless you specifically call them out in your additional related RP contribution in the tournaments proper RP thread (Even then, I don't think its a terribly great practice to adopt)...
When Nexus create his previous thread, it was new for the WGPC and therefore easy to identify the connection. If such a thread were to continue on, it would become less clear what content was specific to this competition and what was intended as a build up to other competitions or not related.
As a host in general, and, as a competitor in general I would tend towards preferring/ensuring that all content be posted in the official competition thread to avoid any A) Confusion as to what it pertains or B) it being overlooked and thereby not counted because it wasn't in the proper RP thread.
I would certainly not ever presume that standalone posts in separate threads outside the main RP thread would be globally considered part of the thread and graded unless you arrange some special agreement with the host before hand and ensure they are fully on the same page as you. Otherwise, I would keep it as a rare/occasional practice at best, one that always is accompanied by a corresponding contribution to the primary competition RP thread and clear reference/linking back to the additional content you wish to be considered part of your daily contribution.

Well, I would normally agree with you that it's easier to keep everything in one thread, but I just wanted to ask because I'm thinking of writing some stuff that would be competition related but also related to Formula Hodori, since this family of characters I'm writing about has drivers in both series. That's also why I mentioned the other series in my question. I could just wait for the main thread and post there, but I wasn't sure about that because the content of the post would potentially apply to two competitions and therefore might be eligible for RP bonus for both.

In which case, I may as well ask now: Eastfield Lodge, may posts in the Nexus Racing HQ topic that pertain to WGP2 count towards my RP bonus here? It seems to make sense for me to keep using it for the purpose of describing Nexus Racing activities there; I wouldn't want to clog up the main roleplay and, well, it is the same place. I intend to only participate in WGPC and WGP2 roleplaying in this forum so overlap with other things shouldn't be a problem either.
(By the way, in terms of the regular references: going back and forth from base to race garage via portal works perfectly for that. Hurrah for Imagitech!)

Again, I'd rather you post it in the competition thread. However, given that you've already started using your own thread, and what with your concerns, I'll allow you to continue using the Racing HQ topic, provided you link any RPs you do there into RPs you do here. My attention span isn't big enough to constantly remember active out-of-topic RP threads.

This all started when I created the 'Nexus Racing HQ' topic in order to keep shorter posts about Marika Pedanovic and Maria Cattaneo's trial to join Nexus Racing out of the WGPC thread - and then kept using it for roleplaying that went on within the physical headquarters of Nexus Racing. Audioslavia and I agreed that, since it was related to the WGPC, content posted there would be counted towards the RP bonus for the competition. The same reasoning, in my view, at least, applies here.

Well... not really.
The host has already responded with their preference that you post in the designated WGP2 RP thread (With a small concession that, since you are already doing it, you could link back to your external thread while posting other RPs in the primary thread at times you have a new specifically relevant contribution in the external thread to reference)
It's probably not in your best interest to A) Make life harder for the host or B) Make it harder for a host to find your contributions when it comes time to grading
What Nexus had in the WGPC was completely out of the norm of operation on NS Sports and one might even say unprecedented. So yes, by that definition, there is now precedent for it. That doesn't justify it becoming the norm, however. It could just be an outlier - or something specific to the WGPC itself.

Plenty of people write RPs that have two or more completely unrelated sections, I think you can manage it. I mean, unless you're planning another massive back and forth character arc like in the WGPC, you won't be taking up all the space.
