The IC thread of the Esferos F1 World Championships is now up! See them at: Also, come May 21, I would greatly appreciate it if any decision from your drivers, teams, engine, and tire manufacturers should be highlighted in the text and should be repeated at the start or end as like a tl;dr (whichever you like) of your post so that I can easily see the decisions in the whole bunch of text (which is a separate thing, as I rate them for RP bonuses).

Logan Gibb, the Director of Public Relations of CopperUA, heard a notification ping from his office computer when he reviewed the Marketing Plan made by his team for the CopperUA-backed driver Aaron Deering. 'Congratulations!' the first line read. Gibb beamed upon reading it. 'We are glad to inform you that your submission for application for a license to have a team in the F1 World Championships has been granted! Please see the attached document you need to fill out for the necessary details for your license and send it back to us.' However, not this paragraph erased the smile off his face. 'However, we regret to inform you that the engine you submitted did not qualify for the shortlisted and approved engines to be used for the F1 season. But this does not mean it's the end for your engine. You can submit your application again for the next season.' 'Drat, what a large amount of Florins to waste,' Gibb thought, 'it's not that we can always use these engines in our day-to-day--' He smiled again, pressed a button on his desk phone, and rhythmically tapped his fingers from his left hand on his table while waiting for someone's response. "Yes, Mr. Gibb?" a female voice answered from his desk phone. "Jamie, call Tempest [Hunter] from Engineering. I need to talk to him," Gibb replied. "Yes, Mr. Gibb," Jamie Giffard, Gibb's Executive Assistant, replied. "Oh, and call and tell Aaron to meet me here at the office this afternoon," Gibb added and pressed another button to hang up. He doesn't need Giffard to tell her again, "Yes, boss," or anything. But he knew Giffard would do whatever he tells her to do related to their work.

Introduce your drivers, teams, engines, and tires. Drivers, show why you need to be signed by these teams. Engine and tire manufacturers, impress teams with your products to ensure they use them in their race cars. Teams, sign your drivers and decide which engine and tire to use. Only signed drivers with teams who have already chosen their engine and tire will be allowed to race in the Pre-Season Tests (non-points races). Signing drivers and choosing an engine and tire manufacturer should start by May 21, 2022, at 12:00 AM ET. Roleplaying for the Pre-Season of the Esferos F1 World Championships starts now!

The day has come! It's the Esferos F1 World Championships! But before everything else... Please do not post in this thread if you are not a participant. Also, no OOC posts, please. There will be two (2) parts in the Esferos F1 World Championships. The first part will be the Pre-Season, which will run from May 21 to June 24, 2023. At this time, participants should introduce their drivers, teams, engines, and tires. Drivers should be hired by teams by the time the Season starts, or else they will not be present during the Season. All 13 teams signing up were granted a license to participate in the F1 World Championships. However, if a team does not have drivers when the F1 Season starts, then their license for the World Championships will be revoked. It is also important to note that only five (5) engines and five (5) tires that were granted licenses to be official suppliers for teams in the F1 Season. All 15 circuits signed up will be used for the whole duration of the World Championships, with 13 of them being in the F1 Season calendar.

Adaikes Volleyball League The United Adaikes National Volleyball Federation organized a professional volleyball league in the United Adaikes, the Adaikes Volleyball League (AVL). It has 16 teams coming from private companies, branches of the military of the country, as well as its military academy (which is not a member of the UAAUA). President, United Adaikes National Volleyball Federation: Becka Reynolds Commissioner, Adaikes Volleyball League: Amado Tupper It has two tournaments in one season. The first one, the AVL Invitational, after the UAAUA Volleyball Championship, invites the top eight (8) member universities of UAAUA Volleyball. With a total of 24 teams, they are divided into four (4) groups. There should be no more than two (2) university teams in one (1) group. They play a double round-robin with the teams in their group before the top four (4) teams in each group advance to a final double-elimination stage to determine the winner of the AVL Invitational. When the UAAUA Volleyball season is ongoing, the AVL plays the AVL Grand Prix, with only the 16 teams vying for volleyball supremacy in the United Adaikes. All 16 teams play each other twice, with the top 12 teams advancing to a final double-elimination stage to determine the winner of the AVL Grand Prix. During Group Stage, when a team wins a match 3-0 or 3-1, the winner takes 3 points, while the loser takes 0 points. When a team wins a match 3-2, the winner takes 2 points, while the loser takes 1 point. To break ties in tables, the procedure is as follows: a. Number of matches won b. Match points won c. Sets ratio d. Points ratio e. Head-to-head result

Signups and OOC Thread There's already a lot of talk about doing an F1-like competition for Esferos. But while I open this signup and OOC thread, this gives me a gauge of how many people actually want to do it and provides an initial baseline of the number of users willing to RP until the end of the season/calendar of this competition. This competition (emphasis on the word I used, "competition," rather than "tournament") will be different from the usual because this will not happen and will end in just one (1) month. I am currently looking at the season/calendar for this competition will roughly be eight (8) months, depending on the number of signups. However, we will only utilize a maximum of one week per event per month to minimize RP-writing burnouts. A race weekend will start on a Friday with practice, with qualifyings happening on Saturday, and the competitive race on Sunday. For roleplays in the season, I will allow as much as one (1) week before the start of the practice for RPs to be posted. Cut-offs will happen three times in a race weekend, one before scorinating the results of the practice (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), one before scorinating the results of the qualifying (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), and one before scorinating the results of the race (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), for a total of three (3) points from RPing for the whole weekend. A season-wide RP bonus will also be given for teams and drivers RPing on the signing of a driver for the team (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), the teams and engine manufacturers coming to terms on which engine to use (receiving a maximum of one (1) point), and the teams and tire manufacturers coming to terms which tire to use (receiving a maximum of one (1) point). If no RP is posted but only announced in this OOC thread, there will only be 0.1 points for each decision made by a team. A team is allowed to have a maximum of two (2) drivers. Multiple signups will happen in this thread, of which the IC thread will be posted after many signups are posted. The IC thread will start with the pre-season, for teams deciding to roleplay which driver to sign and which engine and tire to use. However, the Team, Engine, and Tire Signups will only be reserved for Veteran Storytellers (subject to change with the agreement between Loremasters and Lorekeepers). All Storytellers will be able to signup a driver and circuit (circuit signups are subject to scrutiny by Loremasters for realism), with Veteran Storytellers being able to signup a maximum of two (2) drivers for this competition. I will only select 3-4 tire suppliers, with no limit to the number of approved engine suppliers. This season, we will use The Racing Scorinator (TRS) v2.5.6, the standard Motorsports / Auto Racing RP scorinator of NS Sport. Again, no double-posting (except for me to submit my signups)! You can always edit your post to include any necessary edits that you need to your post. Driver Signups (All drivers will be free agents at the start of the pre-season until signed by a team.)

That three (3) days went by so fast and it's already six (6) days since the 2nd poll. 😅 Well, nothing to do but get on with it! Next question! Would you rather buy gifts or make homemade gifts?

For the next three (3) days, we will be asking another question. Would you rather get 10 smaller gifts or one big one? Thinking of something else? Have better thoughts? Comment down below!

It's that time of the year again! It's The Wassailing Pacific's Midwinter Shenanigans! We have many activities in store this whole month! One is to ask you would you rather! For the first Would You Rather question, what Christmas lights would you rather string? If you are thinking of something else, comment down below! For me, I'd rather have colorful Christmas lights, most especially TWP colors and the colors of my flag!

You already are. See the status below your name.

Time travel!

Yep, Cast Away-style.

Hey! I'd rather be in a deserted island. How about you? Drop your comments below!

We continue!! Well, for me, this is hard. I learned speaking Korean and playing drums and guitar without no one else teaching me. I'd go for all languages!

Welcome to the TWP Forums! We're glad that you found us here! Here is the link for the embassy thread for the United Kingdom: Enjoy your stay!

Fourth week! You choose! I like history, so I'd choose to go back in time. How about you? Share your thoughts!
