Anti-Rice UNITE

[logamus]

super_fred in ao rice free just raced me and lost. hehe. lets try to refrain from racing each other.

edit: he sent me a pm saying he forgot to look at the crew. since we have a few ao crews out there lets keep that in mind.

[Fred]

sorry sorry sorry!

I was just racing everyone I could who was online to get my driver skill level up... and i wasn't paying enough attention to gas, and ran out when I raced Logamus (and I didn't check which crew he was in... just that he was online).

I payed for it though, i lost a grand and a few IMs to him, but its all good.

First time I've seen myself in a category with an AO crew too.

its no problem fred. i aint mad at ya :)

Actually this can go both ways. When you lose a race you still gain xp... and when you win too. I see no reason to not race people in our own group, that way we don't share xp with other people. Drivers level is very important in this game and highly effects the making of money.

Racing strangers gives them XP that we could have giving to a member of an anti-rice unit.

Now stealing from each other is something we should not do. But racing only adds xp to both people and moves IM's around. IM's aren't a problem to get back, thankfully.

I also suggest that we don't race for money amoungst ourselves. Since that is a hard thing to replace.

You can force it to not race for money by having less than $500 in cash when you go the race screen.

I'll offer this up. Race me if you need somebody to race. I've always got plenty of tires and gas and NOS. And I lose a lot. "Waldorf" and "Trogdor" and no cash, so if you bet and it says the driver declined, it's because I don't have any cash... so don't bet money

As soon as my computer allows me to look at my spreadsheets again. I will edit this post to add the "work" formula that I've figured out.

edit follows below

=DL*(IM*(IF(HP=0,0.1,HP))*(CR/4))

DL = Driver Level
IM = Import models
HP = Model Happiness in decimal form ie. 50% = .5
CR = Credits spent working

IF = well, that's a excel function. This section (IF(HP=0,0.1,HP)) says use the happiness, unless the happiness is 0, then use .1

Now, you can drop this directly in an excel spreadsheet, by changing the DL IM HP and CR for the cells that you would put those numbers. This number gives you the center point of what you'll get. You might sell 10% more or 10% less. copy and past forumlas are below

OK, what this is is the formula that I've come up with that works pretty well from Driver level 1 to 4. It should scale up, but it's possible funky stuff happens at higher levels.

the high =A2*(B2*(IF(C2=0,0.1,C2))*(D2/4)*1.1)
the average =A2*(B2*(IF(C2=0,0.1,C2))*(D2/4))
the low =A2*(B2*(IF(C2=0,0.1,C2))*(D2/4)*0.9)

as long as I have as many calenders as the hig, I have never run out...


edit, corrected the happiness correction

i see your point about xp, i just dont see a reason to lose cash. i guess we can race offline members since you only lose ims.

[Thordic]

if I race someone, and win, it doesn't let me race them again for a long time.

Yes, I don't think we should race for cash... I avoid this, by never having more that $500 in cash and a car at the same time :)

But think of all the xp we could hoard if we race amoung ourselves. It's xp that we are dening to the rest of the game.

[logamus]

well enlighten me since i am a noob, how do i race if i dont have $500? everytime i try it says i dont have enough cash to cover. does that mean i can only race offline folks?

[bofh]

Yeah, I've been only racing offline folks.

thordic, as for the guy racing you, I haven't figured out the "race ranges" yet.... and what exactly goes on. I'm working on it.

[Fred]

Are we gonna consolidate into the fewest number of crews on the restart???

I think there are at least 4 AO crews right now, maybe more.

[Thordic]

Ubooze won't reinvite me into the crew because I made multiple accounts. "No one is [AO]Anti-Rice is multi-ing!" he said. Hahaha, right.

But anyway, yeah, I don't care.

OK, I looked into the multiple accounts rules. On MC they are prevent abuse and cheating.

Take a look here http://www.midnitechallenge.com/ubbt...b=5&o=0&fpart=

and an excerpt, from C-Speed himself.

"You can have more than one account on a given computer.. The problem is if you have multiple accounts and you are using the accounts to CHEAT. I am not going to spell out how you can do that.. but if you are caught doing it, you will be banned."

So what this means is you should not have any interaction between your accounts. Don't race them against each other, don't steal or anything. Don't use two accounts to help each other.

Big Mistake..

If you have 801 IMs like I did (remember..DID)....with 14.5k calendars...dont be stupid like me and spend 300 credits on working and lose them all...made my NW drop a LOT.. ( I sold all the calendars tho..)

[bofh]

Yeah, check up above in my earlier post, I've posted the formula for how many calenders you'll sell. It'll prevent you for making that error again. :)

[logamus]

your calendar formula made my head hurt. i will never understand that stuff. im sure it works, i just lack the ability to comprehend that stuff. i finally made it to level 2 and i ponied up for the viper now too. from now on i will just be working on raising my levels as i have car im happy with.
