Galactic Podracing Series - 3242(LY) Season

Post by Frentzen127 »

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

Image

Hello and welcome, everyone, to Galactic Podracing!
What is podracing, you ask? Well, it just so happens to be the fastest, meanest form of racing in the universe! Speed, thrills, action, exotic locales, a not at all minor risk of death or serious injury, maybe some money laundering and sentient trafficking on the side, podracing has it all.
The Galactic Podracing Association, or GPA, is a very legitimate enterprise, which has not at all been banned by the Galactic Republic for alleged links or charges rated to drug trafficking, sentient trafficking, weapons trafficking, race fixing mafias, money laundering schemes, or the propping up of dictatorial regimes outside of Republican Space, where we operate exclusively. These allegations are entirely unfounded and we most vehemently reject them.

Now that we have got the (un)pleasantries out of the way, and if we have perchance peaked your interest, please strap in as we shall now proceed to explain how this not-at-all-purposely convoluted sport works. Please be advised that while both the Podracer and the Podracer are called the same, one makes reference to the Sentient aboard the vehicle while the other makes reference to the vehicle itself. Therefore, for the sake of clarity, henceforth we shall proceed to call them the Pilot and the Podracer respectively.

HOW TO PLAY:

1. If you do not yet control a Pilot, pick one that you are to control from the list on the spreadsheet below.
2. If said Pilot does not yet own a Podracer, be sure to purchase one from the market, unless you intend him to run the races on foot (and no this is not allowed)
3. Enter as many races as you wish, so long as they are within your means/
4. Races will be run, and presumably you will profit
5. Repeat for next season

RULES:
The most important rule is to have fun. If the series admin is unable to provide for fun, he is to be notified about this severe shortcoming. Game may be abandoned afterwards at player's discretion.
To enter, simply state your interest via forum post, PM or Discord (Rejectsport discussion or DM) and state which Pilot you wish to enter.
There are a few things to consider besides as far as how things work and what goes where, so I shall explain in further detail next.

PILOTS:
Players may only control one Pilot at a time, though they may pick a new one given a sufficiently good reason (i.e, Pilot death).
Rookie pilots are marked on the spreadsheet. They may enter any race they wish as a one-off, but may not enter the Galactic Championship. Should they survive the season, they shall gain that privilege for the following year.
Pilots may already pre-own a podracer, or may purchase one if they don't have one. Pilots with a manufacturer name marked in Bold may only use a Podracer from that manufacturer. Pilots with a model name marked in Bold may only use that particular Podracer until further notice/change of circumstance.
Pilots may only own one Podracer at a time.
Pilots have a series of attributes and traits which are explained in greater detail in the Pilot sheet to be shared individually at a later date.

CALENDAR:
The season consists of three championships and a series of invitational races. These are further split into 4 cycles, which are essentially the number of races that are to be run in a session. Keep in mind that entries are fixed from the moment the season starts - no take backs. It is possible to Upgrade or Repair your podracer during a cycle break as stipulated in the calendar. Budgets shall also be updated for every Pilot at that time.

FEES and PRIZES:
Each race has an indivudual entry fee (including travelling costs, etc) and an associated championship. Each championship also has an entry fee, which gives the entrant the right to attend all races in the championship, and score points in it.
A pilot may only enter one championship at a time.

Code: Select all

CLAUSE REMOVED: 
A pilot also waives all rights towards prizes won during a particular race, if the race entered is a rank below of the championship entered. (For example, pilots entered in the Galactic championship earn neither points nor prize money in Amateur races). Victories still count for statistical purposes, however.

NEW CLAUSE:
Pilots that have entered any given championship may not score points in any championship other than the one they have entered, but will remain elegible for prize money awards. 
With the exception of the galactic championship,  championship results will be tallied only from elegible championship entrants.
Invitational races are not part of any single championship, and are open to pilots that have been invited to take part (hence the name). They are the most challenging and deadly of races, as well as the most prestigious.
All fees and prizes are detailed in the spreadsheet below.

MARKET:
Name is self explanatory, all podracers available for purchase are listed here. In time, they may be delisted, and sold for scrap.
A pilot may sell their podracer to the GPA, at 60% current value. It is then added to the list for sale.
A Pilot may also sell a podracer to a different pilot, for a price of their choosing. For this opperation, the GPA will collect a 10% paperwork fee for this operation. The details regarding from which party this value is to be levied is left to both parties. The only one podracer owned at a time rule must be followed at all times during this exchange.
The currency is Truguts.

UPGRADES and REPAIRS:
Repairs and Upgrades may be performed during the designated time as specified in the calendar. The rules regarding pricing and validity of the same are stated in the Pilot spreadsheet.

CONDITION:
All podracers have an associated condition, which decreases with its use. It is calculated at the end of a cycle, unless an accident occurring during a race precludes a pilot of taking part any longer, in which it will be calculated at that time. Repairing a pod improves its condition. It is not possible to perform partial repairs: podracers must be repaired entirely or not at all. Condition, it goes without saying, also has an effect on performance and market value.

BUDGET:
All Pilots have a yearly balance sheet, which is to be updated at the end of each cycle. Money is the lifeblood of the podracer's life, so to keep close look on your financials is quite important.
Should a pilot ever find itself, on the red, it must quit the sigma grindset, for clearly it was not meant to be. Should the pilot choose to grind harder, however, maybe contact your friendly series admin. It's possible a, *ahem* solution may be found for the pilot's predicament.

I can't think of anything else that needs saying at this time. Please have a gander at the document herein. Any question, do not hesitate to ask.

Ody Mandrell not yet being available, I'll take Bullseye Navoir, which is the racer I won every race with by a mile in the original game :deletraz:

For extra darkness, and if anyone wants to make everything double depressing, please remember that the planet Oovo IV is a prison colony, so anyone born and raised there have lived in captivity their whole lives. Super happy Sunday everyone!

Pilot sheets have been updated as required, stats as present are now final.
Market sheet has also been updated, as Durundo has purchased a Podracer for the season.
You may now submit your calendar entries as you see fit. Ideally I'd want these done by Saturday so I can do the first cycle this Sunday, but we'll see if we can make it.
Reminder that paying for the championship means you don't have to pay for the individual entries of the same series, you're entitled to attend all of them (tho you may skip as many as you wish).
Good luck!

Bullseye Navoir shall copy Gasgano's method. We will enter the amateur championship and participate at all races. From there we will also take part in a one-off at the Boonta Eve Classic. What's the worst that could happen?

Noted, repairs will take effect shortly.
To alleviate confusion, I shall expand further the rules on DEALS and UPGRADES.

TRAITS
Every pilot may have any number of traits that modifies it's own base stats, the effects certain actions of the game have, as well as certain actions a pilot may take for/against other pilots. Traits may be hidden or public, but pilots that so choose may divulge them at their own peril (or benefit). Any new acquired trait may also be gained publicly or privately. Only those pilots with certain particular traits may carry out some *ahem* extracurricular activities.

EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
Far be it for the GPA to keep an eye on what the participants do during their spare time. Their time and their actions are their own, when out of the cockpit. For some exceptional cases, however, their time off the clock can be used to impact what happens on track. For these particular characters, things like SABOTAGE, ESPIONAGE, or ASSASSINATION are entirely acceptable things to do on a weekend, if only they were paid enough to bother. And some others may be so devoid of dignity they may even go so far as to RAISE MONEY for their own racing endeavors. The GPA may or may not assist in such, depending on the circumstances.
Any given pilot may only perform one extracurricular activity per cycle. This applies for the agent itself and those who would hire him/her/it.

DEALS
These are any agreements or actions that take place in between cycles. Any agreement between pilots may be put forth towards the series admin for approval and execution. If in doubt whether something is possible, ask beforehand. In the case of some particular actions, a certain procedure must be followed in order to carry it out when borne out of a deal, which is detailed as follows:

0. If you wish to perform an action but somehow you do not know who might carry it out, contact your local innkeeper series admin who will point you in the right direction.
1. If the desired agent (that is, a pilot able to carry out your request) has been identified, initiate contact with said pilot and agree on the terms (fee if applicable, the pilot against whom the action is to take place if applicable, and the venue where it is to take place). The only restriction is that the particular venue where it is to take place is in the next and immediate cycle.
2. The agent shall take these terms to the series admin for execution, the result will be let known to the involved parties, and the effects publicly announced if applicable.

For deals outside of extracurricular activities or otherwise not well defined in the steps above, please contact your series admin.

UPGRADES
Upgrades may only be carried out during their designated windows. At this point these are only the Mid-season break and the End season break.
Only 2 upgrades or 1 customization may be done in each window at this point. Payment for these is always made upfront.


I intend to run the next cycle this Saturday, so please finalize everything that you need to do by this Friday.

Apologies for the long delay, finally can spare some moments to deal with this. Cycle 4 has been run, and championships have been decided! Results as follows:
Vengeance (Amateur Championship R4)
Image

Great Wavebreaker Run(Semi-Pro Championship R5)
Image

Fire Mountain Rally (Galactic Championship R6)
Image

Boonta Eve Classic (Galactic Championship R7)
Image

Inferno (Invitational R4)
Image

Results and Standings have been updated on the sheet, as well as condition and budget in the player sheets. Also,UPGRADES, DEALS and REPAIRS are open. You are welcome to finalize all these before the start of the next season.

Lastly, a note regarding UPGRADES:
By the rules of the game you are only allowed to do 2x upgrades per window (with one customization being equal to 2x upgrade). However, since essentially nobody took the opportunity to upgrade during the mid season, I shall allow 4x upgrades this season, with the final 2 upgrades having a 20% price premium as a penalty for not having the proper grindset. Customizations are still worth same as 2x upgrades for this purposes. Which upgrades pay the premium is to be determined by RNG at the time of application, so budget well.

Final standings to follow shortly.

Podracing Magazine wrote: After all those exciting races this season, it's high time we take a look at the final championship standings:


Image
Year 3242 has to be remembered -if not for the continued generosity and prosperity of our Hutt patrons- for the absolutely thrilling Amateur Podracing championship it graced us with. With essentially everything to play for in the finale, Ebe Endocott kept the trend of continuous improvement throughout the year to clinch the title emphatically. The rookie was also mighty impressive in the one-off entries he made on the higher series, and therefore has all the markings of a star of the future. "Bullseye" Navior's season also is worthy of mention, not only losing out on the championship by the slimmest of margins, but also doing a very commendable job on the Boonta, keeping his cool when others lost theirs. On the other hand, a year to forget from Toy Dampner. A championship challenge was expected from him, both man and machine being a well known quantity in these circles and defying expectations by having entered the lesser series at the last minute, he found himself mid-table in fairly fortunate circumstances. Journalist Clegg Holdfast, columnist of rival mid-rim magazine Podracer's Digest was competent and did not look out of place, but given his long time proximity to these circles and borderline personal relationships with some of the fellow racers, cynics might say the commendable results might not have been entirely of his own doing. Nevertheless, we welcome an opportunity to slander our competition when it presents itself, and far be it for us to let it slide...


Image
We hadn't seen a choke like this in a very long time. The fact that Mars Guo is a rookie might go a long way into explaining why it happened. Nevertheless, both him and his championship rival and eventual victor Neva Kee were mighty impressive in the Semi-Pro series, utterly dominating the series and leaving little reward of substance for the established racers that made up the bulk of the entry list. Aldar Beedo was particularly dreadful this year, weirdly deprived of both his trademark devastating aggression and composure at the helm. There were flashes of pace here and there, but constant mistakes and mechanical gremlins costing dearly -and his stock is now lower for it-. Special mention goes also to Wan Sandage, the Devlikk having one of his trademark poacher seasons he has by now accustomed us to, only for it all to have horribly come undone in such a cruel fashion in the Inferno. Rumor has it he may probably miss several races beginning next season, so clearly the situation is worse than we had anticipated. We all wish him all the best and a speedy recovery...


Image
Sebulba was absolutely awesome and a totally irresistible competitor on track this year, and the record above conclusively demonstrates it. Unmatched aggression and skill meant nobody else had even the tiniest sliver of hope at catching or besting the Dug on track, unless misfortune cruelly intervened. We very much sympathize with the plight of Ratts Tyerell, but he should have known what he was up against when he tried to put Sebulba into the wall and the Dug obviously and fairly refused to budge. Not that it made much of a difference in the overall results, of course, for there is only so much that can be done when Sebulba is on form and this season he very clearly was...

Mos Espa Evening Post wrote: FIRES FINALLY QUENCHED IN MOS ESPA
Communal guard forces and a small detachment of Huttese troops have finally retaken control of the Mos Espa arena and space port, bringing to an end the riots that had swept the city during this past week. With the city finally under full control, the fire brigades could get to work in safety to try and contain the blazes that had been burning for the past week, with the last embers reportedly contained in the space port neighboring market quarter earlier this noon.

Authorities are still looking for the persons responsible for the unrest and the damages caused, and urge all citizens to come forward with information that might help bring those responsible to justice. It is early days still in the investigation, but it is the opinion of this columnist that it cannot be a coincidence that the most significant damage in the market quarter just happened to be around Mikdanyell Alley, where most betting houses and gambling locales in the city were located, which had been heavily criticized for their reluctance and delay in paying off the profits to the fortunate few who stood to gain from last Boonta Eve Classic's results.

A spokesperson for Gardulla the Hutt, patron for the races out in the arena (which was also badly damaged in the riots) declined to make any comments about the events of the past few weeks, but when asked was emphatic in denouncing Navior's comments that the race may have been fixed, instead pinning the blame on the racer for the riots that would follow shortly after these were made public.

Security forces are also busy tallying out the list of casualties the unrest has caused, but current estimates imply the number might be around 15.000, mostly slaves and messengers that were trapped in the market quarter when the blazes started. We will continue to update on the facts of this story as more is made public.

MON GAZZA EYING RACES ON THE PODRACING CIRUIT

Representatives of the Mon Gazza mining guild are looking with good eyes the possibility of hosting some races in and around the spice mines for promotional and tourism purposes, be it either with Air, Space or Repulsorcraft. Of particular interest is the possibility of holding some races on the Zugga sector, and there is talk already about the construction of a dedicated, brand new speedway to host the races which would also happen to function as a new focal point for development of the area, in stead of the currently existing Miner's town.

A far more daunting prospect will be to add these races into an already crowded calendar, but the monks of Ando Prime are reportedly displeased with the amount of attention, or rather lack thereof, that their invitational race gathered among the racers and so rumors abound that they intend to cut back the number of races they are hosting, which might give Mon Gazza an opening.

If I understood the comment correctly, things should be fixed by now.
