Speaking of the Q1 Showcase, Detroit is the host. Geneva has Q2, and I'm reinstalling Goodwood as Q3, which leaves a Q4 spot open for suggestions, real or otherwise. I'll explain how this will work here, and in the OP Later:
Each company should have the opportunity to show at these events, cost is 100cr to show up and have one space, but spaces are first come-first serve, and there is a four car limit per company, set at 50cr per additional spot right now, and by four cars, I mean four units. Have a combo of cars, or show off all the options on a particular car, but choose carefully because those chosen can only make the circuit once. Upgrade the bits, or put new ones in, and it would be eligible again. The show can LOOK however you want, flavor is a good thing, and I'm enjoying what is already here, but in practice, there are 52 spots represented by a deck of playing cards. Why cards you ask, because I'm not one to keep things that mean nothing, so I made these worth something. So here's the setup: Cards will be dealt in four rows of thirteen cards, Identified as A, B, C, or D, and numbers 1-13, so to pick a spot, you state that you want in and you want D-12 for example. For those reserving multiple spots, you will have to pick adjacent spots. Take four spots, you can take a section of a row, make a column across all rows, or make a square block, no odd shapes if we could please. As for the value put into it, I'm calling them "Fanfare Boosts", and they are a point value added to a cars attributes at random. Ace is low in this game, so Ace to 7 gets nothing, hitting an 8, 9, or 10 gets one point, finding the Jack or Queen net two points, and Kings get three. Sounds straightforward, but I have an inner Eric Bishoff who likes to twist things like this. The twist here is that 52 cards are dealt, but the full 54 are in play. Yeees, the Joker shows it's face, and if found allows the cars builder to choose where those points go, if they get any. Happily, I can do this without much fuss.
The dice however.....Uhhgg. To be frank, I can't trust my own roles, 20 years of self-deprication perhaps plays a role here, so I'm handing it over to technology, just not sure if Excel or the internet sites would be better. Jahgee, this can affect you as your car is the only one I have numbers on, and if you want a free reroll, let me know.
OK, Details, procedure change, what am I.... Oh yes.
NOW, if italian06, WhiterunGuard, and titleguy1 have no problem waiting, technically they opted in AFTER the start time. That means they would have no changes until the end of Q2. However, if the forum is in agreement to let them into Q1 with everyone else, it shall be done.
Once you all have your official discussion convos, I will be asking a peculiar question given how I laid things out. I've run across an issue I hadn't thought of, but do have a solution to.
AND that's all I have for now.......WAIT, wait, wait, wait. I seem to have failed to make mention of one MASSIVE detail. I DID mention bots in the OP, but I failed to mention that......and this is Bishoff Brian again......all of you are going up against the major real world companies. Ford, GM, Tata, Toyota, FCA, PSA, and I probably will throw in some smaller firms as well.
