Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on October 31, 2009, 03:29:50 AM: I'm just gauging interest at the moment for this forum game, I really need around 10 or so people for it to work.

This idea originated from one of my simming forums, where we play this game all the time in the offtopic section. If you're wondering what the term "Forum Racing" means, it's just that: racing using a forum... first person to post wins. :lol:

Here's how it works:
If enough people declare their interest for this, I will become the "ringmaster" or "grand marshall" of the game - basically the guy in control. I will devise a schedule for a 10-race season. Dates will be set for "races" to take place, and on that date, at any random time, I will post in this thread declaring that the race has started.
To race and win, all you need to do is be online. If you see this thread and my "start" post, all you need to do is post "finish" in the thread as soon as you can. If you're the first person to post "finish" you win the race; if you're the second person to post "finish" you finish second, and so on down the field until the last position for which points are available.
Speaking of points, the points system I will use is that which is used by Formula One: points are awarded down to 8th position in the following way:
1st: 10 points
2nd: 8 points
3rd: 6 points
4th: 5 points
5th: 4 points
6th: 3 points
7th: 2 points
8th: 1 point
So, if you are the 6th person to post "finish" you finish 6th and thus get 3 points added to your tally.

So, if you like the sound of this, declare your interest in this thread. If 10 people or more are interested, I will compile an entry list, that will be closed at a to-be-determined date. After the entry list is closed, entries will not be accepted until the start of the second season (this is the first). If you are not on this entry list, you cannot compete. If you do post "finish" in the thread when you are not entered, your finish will not count for points.

Well, after that... Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines... :angel

I've updated the first post with an "Interested" list to make things easier to get down.

Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on December 04, 2009, 04:21:02 AM: Noname and Ratlady, I've added you to the interested list, and since it doesn't look like there are any other people interested for the time being, I guess I'll go with who we have now.

I will be compiling a calendar over the weekend, to be released sometime around Saturday. Watch this space... ;)
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: Noname on December 04, 2009, 05:14:14 AM: Sure... just awaiting the "start" signal when it comes... although given my schedule, I'm likely to come in last... very busy. :lol

You can enter at any time. :smile Since there's less than 10 people, entries will now stay open for the entire season, but new entries will need to officially declare that they want to enter.

Added ya... :D

Post by: SouthPawRacer on December 04, 2009, 08:52:38 PM: Here we go guys... this is the calendar. Make sure that you are online on these dates if you want to win... :yes

---SEASON CALENDAR---

Round 1: December 7, 2009
Round 2: December 16, 2009
Round 3: December 22, 2009
Round 4: December 27, 2009
Round 5: January 10, 2010

I'm assuming most, if not all of you, live in America (except of course for excalibur)... so since I'm in Australia, races may just be started a day earlier than listed. That'll keep you on your toes...

:goodluck
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: raga on December 05, 2009, 02:51:07 PM: Well what part of Australia do you live in? So I can figure out the time difference between you and me.
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on December 05, 2009, 07:51:30 PM: I'm in Western Australia... that's exactly 12 hours difference from EST without Daylight Saving in effect.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on December 05, 2009, 09:43:38 PM: I'm glad this game actually got off the ground. It was a little iffy for a while there...

I'll be here this weekend too.
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: raga on December 07, 2009, 01:18:45 PM: Ummm, its 12:17pm here on the U.S. east coast, if Southpaw is 12 hours ahead of me that means its now December 8th were he is, but the race never started.

Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on December 07, 2009, 04:56:14 PM: Maybe he's using the time zone that most members of the forum are on, rather than his own.

dam....

And we have a 3 way tie for 1st! With 2nd place only a point behind. And if ratlady manages to grab 5th before LB&L it'll be a 4 way tie
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on December 17, 2009, 12:32:30 AM: Unfortunately, Rat_lady has messaged me saying that she's retiring from the season. So we're one competitor down... :(

Come on LB&T... :smile
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on December 17, 2009, 12:39:15 AM: I've just done some calculations... and if LB&T finishes, he will still be leading, with 14pts (4 points added on for finishing 5th). Thus, there will then be a three-way tie for 2nd.
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: aabicus (LettuceBacon&Tomato) on December 17, 2009, 09:55:31 PM: Finish? That still count?
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on December 17, 2009, 10:38:37 PM: Yes, it does! Competitors are allowed to post "finish" until the next event starts. If they did not post "finish" for a certain event, they are considered a DNF (Did Not Finish) for that particular race, and thus they do not score any points. But, you're still in, because you are considered to have finished... :smile

Noname's not far behind though - if he can put in a late season dash and keep up the consistency, he may have a chance of 2nd place at the season's end, or maybe even the title if Excalibur suffers some bad luck...

Here are the standings at the season's halfway point:

I just can't check this site often enough to place significantly, (that or excalibur and Noname are extremely lucky in their login times.)

Hey, I know you weren't slamming the game - I just don't want you to beat yourself up over a bad finish. This is a game of chance... if you finish badly, don't worry about it... there's always next race! :)

Post by: Noname on January 23, 2010, 12:16:11 AM: So, what is the score tally? :)
Title: Forum Racing
Post by: SouthPawRacer on January 23, 2010, 12:28:28 AM: The standings don't change, but Noname is catching up to excalibur! Only four points separate them. There is also a chance of LB&T catching up to Stitch if luck is on his side... :)

Post by: SouthPawRacer on February 20, 2010, 05:23:58 AM: *IMPORTANT NOTICE*

After much consideration, I have decided to make a change to the rules for next season.
In light of the fact that the field is diminishing due to schedule timing issues with some competitors, I am going to change the rules so that there is no schedule. There will still be a list of rounds posted at the beginning of next season, but races will be started at random times. This will hopefully level the playing field a bit and encourage others to join and remain in the game.

Post by: Noname on February 20, 2010, 06:00:41 AM: I'll be there, Southpaw. It will be most helpful if you can post a schedule for when the final round begins and place it here on the most recent page so we don't have to go fishing it out of the thread.
