Anti-Rice UNITE

[Fred]

SWEET! I got my mustang up to 265 HP at 98.88%!!!

Time to go Race!

[Fred]

another question...

how do you race for money??

[Fred]

ran out of credits... but I bought some more engine stuff... up to 295 hp at only 91%... have to get more credits to keep working on it and race some more...

I have won 3 out of 4 races so far!

Pimp factor is 99!

this is getting fun!

106 ims, 20 credits, 72 happyness
You're Import Models sold 359 calendars, which made you an $718.

Happyness is a big factor.. thats for sure..
so for ~70 happyness, the equation should be
cr(35)=m
m/2=ca
I think?

Ok, I've got a somewhat working pimping model

(IM * happiness ) * (Credits/2)

Every "work" run I have done has come within -/+ 10% of these projected, with most of them %5 low.

for example, the last two ones.

Run one
IM happy credits
67 .37 25

283 Actual Sold

309.875 predicted
340.8625 10% high
278.8875 10% low
325.36875 5% high
294.38125 5% low

Run two

IM happy credits
67 .37 25

295 Actual Sold

309.875 predicted
340.8625 10% high
278.8875 10% low
325.3687 5% high
294.38125 5% low

Now granted we could just work with the money numbers then we wouldn't to divide in half... but I think this would be a good starting point for figuring out how many calenders we need to have in stock

Dang, that destroys my model I had... Mine predicts twice as much sales.


You think driver level has an influence? My driver is level 2... and the prediction I have made is 2 times as much...

[Fred]

I know Pimping is entirely based on your car... I think...

i don't see any correlation between pimp level and sales, but pimp level does effect how many models you get per cruise...

is anyone compiling all this data? we're gonna need it for the next period...

Edit: Oh, and my Stang is up to 315 Hp at 98.13%... gotta wait for more credits now... grr... that sucks...

[Koosh]

How are you guys doing this!

I mean, my Grand National has 411 horsepower... but I haven't even won a race yet! how do I race? under the "actions" sidebar I don't have an option for the "go Race" so all I'm ever doing is just reacting to the people that challenge me... Is there an easier way of doing this?

(and yes, I'm an idiot...)

[Fred]

took me a while to figure it out too...

click the "LIST DRIVERS" button.

Find the drivers in your net worth bracket.

Choose one who has a car... and then you'll see a box offering to Race him, steal is car, carjack him, home invasion, or steal his import models.

try to race, they can decline though. you can kind of "scope out" their vehicle to guess how good they are. if you choose someone who is racing, it will say how good they are...

[Fred]

what appears to be really crappy right now, is that I lose 2 credits every time I challenge someone to a race and they decline... that's stupid...

[personman]

My driver level is 1..
It might, you never know..
Jeez, you never realise how much work goes into a game until you try to figure out how it works


72 happyness, 80 credits, 106 ims.
You're Import Models sold 1385 calendars, which made you an $2770.
And I lost 11 disgruntled ims..
80(35)=2800
real amount of money earned: 2770..
Uhh, I think we should try all the amounts of happiness by the tens or so and make a chart because for the 30s or so its 20, and for the 70s or so, its 35.. and they both seem to work fine..

Happyness of 0..
111 ims..
110 credits..
You're Import Models sold 321 calendars, which made you an $642.
5.8 is what I come up with.. lets plug 5.8 into my past experiance with 0s..

111 ims, 0 happiness, 20 creds.
You're Import Models sold 52 calendars, which made you an $104.

20(5.8)=116..

Edit: New results..
10 credits, 111 models, 0 happy
You're Import Models sold 28 calendars, which made you an $56.
10(5.8) = 58..


Footemps: Spend points on crusing around, then buy calendars, and work your ims adn get money, then buy a cheap car like a ford mustang ('77) and race people with the same networth as you..

[FooTemps]

ahhh... um.... how do you play?
