Appearance:

Bio: Dill Daniels isnt a cop, a soldier, a survivalist, or an expert on the Hazards of the world, hell he's not even in shape. He's a bartender from Las Vegas who got roped into a 'Road Trip Reuinion' by one of his moronic friends from college. What was supposed to be a booze filled adventure of sex and parties quickly turned into a nightmare as the rural town of the motel they were staying in quickly got overrun by mutants (which are still common in the sticks), all of Dillion's friends were killed and he emerged the sole survivor, with a lot of trauma and a much better understanding of death. The survivor's guilt has driven him a little mad, and now wants to use the RISK RALLY GP prize money, to throw 'one last ultimate party' in honour of his friends as he feel that's what they would have wanted.

Race Track List

The Jam Master's Stage: 'The Hood'

Flavour Image

Circuit Image

Theme Song

Difficulty Grade: B-
Description:
This urban track was built by the corrupt mayor of this city in an attempt to gain more revenue for the bankrupt economy. The Track has damp roads and although the streets are technically clear of traffic there are many burnt out cars and junk that litters parts of the roads which can make navigating them very difficult, also some of the track makes use of narrow alleyways which makes overtaking difficult to impossible. Beyond that, the track is fairly normal and has no notable hazards.

The Surgeon's Stage: 'The Bio-Swamp'

Flavour Image

Circuit Image

Theme Song

Difficulty Grade: D+
Description:
This track is built around an old bio facility that has been abandoned and is breaking down as it submerges in a swamp out in the New Orleans badlands. The 'road' is the shallowest part of the swamp where the water is only 1 foot deep, but this still has a massive effect on the driving here. The corners are fairly easy but the track is at night, and it is cloaked in a thin murky fog that can obscure vision at long ranges. Swerve too far of course and you may find your vehicle sinking in the gator habitat. Irene Yukimoto frequents this place for chemicals she uses at her clinic.

Description:
A nice simple track that's beautiful sunny scenery make it the top spot for advertisers to make their revenue from the billions of watchers around the world. The roads are high quality tarmac and the track is very simple to navigate. Malachy Connors has driven a few customers around this route in his cab, as its a hot attraction for tourists who travel to California to see the races.

Dystopian Grand Prix

Welcome To The End Of The World

Some of them blame the banks, some of them blame the lack of natural resources on the planet, some of them blame the disgusting amount of influence the violent media has over our youth. Me? I blame everyone, Human nature is what got us here, we were never meant to last as a species and this is just the world's final way of reminding us. I have no more use for this world, Its done nothing for me, and ive done nothing back for it, my contribution? I helped fund the RISK RALLY GP, it wasn't even my idea, I just made it bigger, and now every poor bastard with a overpowered engine and a dream is killing themselves for the entertainment of their peers. Its disgusting, but I don't care. They are all disgusting anyway, if it wasn't this itd be some other twisted game show or competetion or 'challenge'.....I need to go now, this would be a suicide note, and I still plan to kill myself. But I've got one last thing to do....

Risk Rally GP Title

Welcome to my latest brain child, this is the RISK RALLY GP, semi-dystopian Racing RP where you take your pride and joy vehicle and tear up the track against other players to win the grand prize and become the RISK RALLY CHAMPION. This is a combat racing RP where your player's life is at stake the minute they get on the track. Hopefully your skills and your custom built car will see you through the amazing tracks we have built. You will interact with characters in between races and the stakes will get higher as the GP goes on. There will also be bonus challenges as a side quest outside of the main GP which takes place over one week.
ARE YOU READYYYYY!?

WORLD BRIEF

The year is 2080, the economy is in tatters. The world has been eaten alive by corruption and the poverty line has dropped to a terrifying level, 82% of the world are living in poverty and society has truly become a reflection of dystopia. BUT the rich still need to be entertained. And there are still those desperate enough to risk it all and earn great wealth as winner of the Risk Rally races, a hyper dangerous but massively televised racing league where gutsy drivers put their lives on the line to win massive cash prizes. The Prelims are taking place in europe, with semi finals in asia, and finally the showdown in the USA. Drivers come from all over the world to win the grand prize of 6 Million neo-credits (which works out to about $20 Million Dollars Today)

Vehicles Explained
Each vehicle performs differently and for this game we have to keep it fair. So for your performance I'm giving you 100 points to spend however you wish on you vehicles stats. You can choose to be balanced or specialized....at your own risk.

The Categories Are

Firepower:(the damage your weapons can do other vehicles.)
Frame:(The durability of your vehicle, also increases ramming damage)
Grip:(The Handling and stability of your vehicle on the road)
Acceleration: (How fast your vehicle gains speed.)
Top Speed:(The maximum speed your vehicle can reach)

So for example if a car with 34 firepower shoots a missile a car with 4 Frame, it will probably be obliterated on the spot. And if a car with 29 frame rams a care with only 9 grip, its probably going to send it spinning out of control.

These are all things to take into account when building your vehicle.

Racing Mechanics & Rules

1. The Risk Rally/DGP is a simple points based series of races. Each individual race will award points to the podium position racers (1st 2nd 3rd) and a few to the rest (4th etc) depending on how many are in the race (up to 10).
For Example:
1st 12 points
2nd 9 points
3rd 7 points

The actual GP comprises of multiple races and leagues.

2.
I as the GM will be in control of the Non-Player Racers and the Commentators (Rob and Griff). The Commentators will be giving regular updates on who's in what position in the race, and any major occurrences (like a crash) as well as general color commentary. As a player you cannot decide when to overtake your opponent, you can simply drive, and based on your stats and how you describe yourself driving and navigating the course will you improve your position. If you are described as close or near to another opponent, you can take your chances with ramming them or attacking with you melee weapon.

3.
There will be two images for each race track one will be the 'flavour' image which will give you a rough idea of what the track and its surroundings look like. And the other will be a circuit image, which will literally be the outline of the track. I will be adding comments if there are particular hazards, weather conditions or road types worth mentioning. But we will follow the circuit fairly closely and you will take your corners where appropriate on the map, here is an example.

Flavor image

Circuit Image

4.
Certain regular racing skills can be used, the first is Drifting, you can attempt a drift on any corner, while drifting you will lose very little speed when turning and be able to cancel a slipstream if an opponent is behind you. However, every drift is a risk, you can ATTEMPT a drift when ever you like, but depending on your grip, the road type, acceleration and general speed and weight (frame) of the vehicle going into the corner I will decide how well your drift actually goes. Now even clunky machines with poor grip can occasionally pull off a perfect drift but the chances are much lower than a light machine with excellent grip. Your drift will have varying levels of success from perfect, to good, to poor, to spin-out. Which may result in a crash.

The other mechanic is the Slipstream. You may increase your speed by driving directly behind an opponent to decrease the wind resistance in front of you. A common tactic is to ride an opponents slipstream all the way next to them and the hitting them in corner side with a vicious PIT maneuver. Slipstreams are a lot harder to catch when turning corners and your slipstream wont be as effective if your catching one off a vehicle that is smaller than your own.

5.
Combat is handled in the same way as all my other RPs its essentially arena rules (no auto-hitting) except the GM can declare a hit if I feel necessary. You can attempt to dodge but in your car every dodge is going to be a swerve which will effect you racing performance, (and you might just get hit anyway). If your car does take a hit, depending on your frame and the enemy firepower or frame. You will lose a percentage of your car's 'health. At the start of a race everyone starts with 100% (which will be monitored by the play-by-play commentary). If this health drops to 10% your car is in critical condition which you then can choose to bail, which will end the current race for you and you will take last place or you can continue to race, Meaning you can still win, but if your craft hits 0% your vehicle will be destroyed and your character may die. Even if they make it out alive somehow, they will miss the next race while their vehicle is reassembled.

Being thrown into the streets by her father and hustling to make money by fixing various things, an agent from the Risk Ralley GP came upon Brigitte from word of mouth to check out her skills as a mechanic which, with some lying and persuasion, hired Brigitte with the promise that not only will she get paid a lot and live better but also being promised to help her make her own robotics company, which is Brigitte's dream of being a robot creator. Unfortunately, this was another lie as the agent who hired her was assigned to keep her busy will repairing the rides of the participants and to have control of her money.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

This is true. I actually had a debate last night over whether or not Anarcho-capitalism was just feudalism with megacorps, and I made the point that whenever I see or hear an ancap describing their ideal society it sounds like normal anarchism but with cringe.

@Keyguyperson

Fixed that for you.

@Vilageidiotx@Keyguyperson

Libertarians and Anarchism actually have a lot in common. Libs have actually been called 'anarachists with money'. When it comes to the state they both share a lot of views about wanting the government to 'butt out' or not be involved at all if they can help it.

Problem with Ancap is that its headed by Stefan Molyneux who has a very specific brand of Anarcho-capatalism and displays cult like behavior.

*POSITIVE* LGBT++ hangout, anybody? *CIS/STRAIGHT WELCOME TOO* :D

I think you enjoy complaining about games more than you enjoy playing them *cough* bethesda *cough*. But whatever the reasons you like 13 are extremely subjective to you, so I cant argue your taste in story telling. But I like pokemon and dragon quest and I don't mind ham fisted exposition if the world thats being crammed down my throat is charming enough. But I'd rather play magic the gathering. 13-2 kept the one good thing about 13 (the battle system) and gave you essentially one big world as an extended side quest to collect shit and battle a lot. The characters were nearly as bad as 13 and the story line was nonsensical. But I played it as glorified bit of DLC as apposed to a full story experience and I had fun with it.

Nier was alright, didn't get extremely far in it, interesting enough but the battle system was crap.

And yes I think kingdom hearts have awful AWFUL battle systems I'd play 13 a million times before trying to sit through kingdom hearts 1 again.

If you're still doing this -9.5, -5.08

I'm currently reading around democratic confederalism, currently an Anarcho-Syndicalist with Marxist tendencies

@ACPM

I guessing you "dont agree with everything with stefan molyneux says, but find him an intelligent and charming man".

@Vilageidiotx

Ive seen this before, its hilarious. Many libertarians are really only in it, to get a teenage waifu.

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@Weird Tales gavin mcinnies doesn't even agree with most of his own opinions he's an attention seeking hipster, and he doesn't even deny it.



Oh and his GAVIN DESTORYS FEMINIST video is total bullshit.

you sound like an angry person

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

<Snipped quote by Dynamo Frokane>

and feminists are sensitives about silly pictures on the internet, I fail to see your point. You seem rather threatened by mens rights activists and libertarians.

@Weird Tales

How is sharing memes a sign of being threatened by them? and yes feminists do get sensitive about memes too, they are just as bad as each other. MRAs are just a bit more pathetic because they are hypocritical reactionaries.
