I would still like to stick around, but something is preventing me from doing so. Here is the reason: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metagaming_%28role-playing_games%29I do not like metagaming! Period! But I'm beginning to suspect that this is happening in this RP! Also the reason why I haven't been able to play Sapphire the way I wanted to.

Alright. Let's try and figure this out then. We have to get a Sapphire retentive element to this arch. Now that my brain is feeling a bit better, I had an idea. Okay okay! Here's the idea:
We know that Sapphire's been racing under her number for six years, right? We also know that in that time frame, she has a fanbase but she could also have some enemies too. Now this could be tailored a bit more to fit but anyways maybe there was a former owner of Sapphire's number and was sorta force on the outs and stuck in her shadow. He's highly jealous of her and now that he knows that she's going to be at the Piston Cup, he's also out to stop her from winning and possibly stop her for good. Now he could team up with Chick's hired sabatoguer at some point. But this could very well work and might be able to help you along. I'll RP as that jealous racer if you want (Besides, I haven't RP'd too many villians anyways and it's fun to be quirky with them too.) But I can see this working quite well.
Now what do you think of that? Does that work for you or do I need to play with it a bit more?

I like that idea.
The current CEO of ClearShield is Samantha Blitz (hey, I'd like to at least have another one of my old RP characters here; and she would call Sapphire by her real name, Julia, in private), who recently took over the sponsorship after she had dealt with her brother, Tony. She's been rising rapidly on the management ladder.
So anyway, yes, there would be a fanbase for Sapphire and she'd also have a racer who was jealous of her because she is the daughter of The King and well-loved by the race-fans.
I think it'd be great if you played the jealous racer (just have to give him/her a name, a sponsor, and a number).

Heh heh heh heh. I have an idea on what he's going to be like. Imagine one of those kinda creepy nerdy types who sits in the computer labs all the time in the dark with only a few screens on for light while plotting some form of revenge. XD
So here's some quick stats:
Name: Norman Malvaso Age: 31 (That's "13" backwards) Sponsor: Vaporware Inc. (These guys create and handle lightweight mods and mod kits for hollywood stars and actors.) Number: 75 (If no one's taken it) Likes: Sapphire's number (Way too damn much), plotting, being creepy? Dislikes: Sapphire ("Stole" his number and his sponsor) and Samantha Blitz (For putting the final nails in his coffen.)
How does that work for you?

That works out fine. He's one of those villians that we all love to hate or hate to love or... wait, I'm confusing myself. XP
Anywho, all that needs to be done is to introduce him into the RP. ^^

One step ahead of you. Norman's in and on his way. And yes.... I decided the love to hate route would be way more fun. He's kinda like Golumn from Lord of the Rings in a way on the creepy level. What can I say? Being creepy is fun! XD ~Kamui.EXE

Actually, I already have a pace car by the name of Edison Axle. I'm so sorry to disappoint you.
But, there could still be a way for you to join in. Lemme think about that.

Okay. :B I didn't expect anyone would have a pace car. XD EDIT: Um... I could be a security van. ;

That would be cool, Axel. Sure! Anyways, this post gives me an idea: [...]There was a Mayor planned aswell and a deceitfull back up driver of mcqueen's. McQueen had a backup driver planned, right? Wouldn't everyone else have back up drivers too? I sorta am seeing this character a little like Scar from Lion King here who could be interesting.... but I'm not sure where to use this guy. Also.... I'm a little stuck on what I wanna do with Noman yet. I have him in his trailer in creepy mode. ~Kamui.EXE

I had a thought...
Wouldn't Mr. and Mrs. Weathers be coming to watch their daughters on the job? Just a thought...

At practice or at the real race?

*Shrugs* Whenever. Never really thought of a when... Just that they'd show up at some point to cheer on their girls.

I usually have responsibility for Tex and Dinoco-related stuff on this particular board, so if you'd like me to bring him in, let me know. Otherwise, he's free to puppet for this RP.
