I could modify the pricing to give you 160 points Jobbo, but then the other side of the coin is that would make turning up in a stock Faggio get you 1000 points. That would mean you'd have to win every single event to draw with whomever picked that. The other option is cutting off the Faggio from the choices and making the PCJ the cheapest option, which would max you out at 700 points, but even so, that seems a little unfair.

Balancing these things isn't easy especially when you have a min-maxer like Eased looking to exploit the spreadsheet.

If I took the performance upgrade off my Ruffian I'd get more bonus but it'd be slow. I'll see what feels better and confirm nearer the weekend.

I'd like to but that's not going to happen.

Even I refuse to use a fagio and take the points for being most under budget.

That would be great, but simply managing to start it would be a challenge. They're only in free roam, aren't they? And not always spawning?

Or... is it possible to create a capture with them in?

Great idea! There's normally plenty floating around in free roam so we could just make a race without checkpoints and once you've destroyed your vehicle or been shot by the boys in blue, then you're out.

Could always set an impromptu race and go point to point

A couple of us did one a wee while ago. Me, Norfock and Jobbo?

Anyway it was a laugh and I could see it being fun with more people. It'd take ages to get everyone together with a truck and trailer though. Also where could we all park in free roam without the AI throwing a fit and just piling up cars around us laugh. Sandy Shores airfield possibly.

I am pretty sure that included me, yes. The major problem is, as soon as your trailer is blown up or falls off, your tractor unit gets much faster. And it's very hard to get another trailer quickly when relying on them spawning in free-roam.

If we can create a capture or some other sort of job which contains loads of parked trucks that might be the answer. You can do an impromptu race in missions so it might well be feasible to do that in a capture too.

My compromise is this. 1 point for every $50 under budget, rounded to the nearest number. This doubles Jobbo's points to 32 (the equivalent of getting between an 8th and a 9th place finish), and I'm banning the Faggio from the cost-effective list, leaving something like the PCJ-600 as the cheapest. Running a stock one will get you 140 points, just below a free third place. I think this balances it out a little better, everyone OK with that?

And trucks and trailers would work in a capture for sure, but obviously we'd not be able to hear each other particularly well, and judging it would be a kerfuffle. I'll stick to organising events that can be made in races if that's OK!

Never change the rules .

Your organising it , you've actually created races events not just picking a class and its up to us to stick to your rules.

If there's something we don't like then if we feel strongly enough we don't race.

I don't think anyone would of used a stock Fagio it would be horrendously slow.

Good point - it'd likely be more than 8 people. Can we get a willing volunteer to just sit there on one team and have everyone else on the other team? I'm not sure the game allows such an imbalance, though.

Oh, and not worried about changing the rules; I'm going to compare an unlimited bike to my Ruffian tonight to see which is preferable. I bet there's a lot less in it when it comes down to competing and whether it's 160 or 320 bonus points for coming in under budget, either way it'll be fun smile

I've got two options, a Dinka TT or a Carbon RS. Anyone up for some testing tonight?

Thank you Eased, that actually means a lot to me. But it's important that you guys enjoy the events and that I need to make you guys want to turn up for the challenges and have fun in them, and sometimes that means murdering my darlings and changing race ideas. Some things went down not as well as I'd hoped, and some of them were massive hits, it's a learning experience. But I guess I have to apologise that I assumed the worst from you. I din't mean for it to come across like that, but I'm actually very happy with this new setting and I think it'll work fine on the night.
