Welcome to the 230th season of the F1 Forum Game!
a.k.a. Jokes GP
This competition is expected to start on Thursday, July 15 at 00:00:01 CET.
It is very likely that I will respect this term.
THE GENERAL RULES ARE AS FOLLOWS:
1. You can join at any time of the season by just posting ##Join [Team]. There are NO RESERVING PLACES. You can ask others to keep the space in the team free, but this isn't a must for them.
2. There will be 2 members per team. The teams must be named over past or a present F1 constructor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Formula_One_constructors
3. There will be no maximum number of participants in the game. There will be no reserve list in this game. When I feel a certain number of teams have been created, those free spots in those teams should be filled up before I will allow people to make new teams. Once all the existing teams are then full, further teams can be created. This process of team entries being closed and later reopened may be repeated.
4. If you do not participate in four (4) races in a row without reason then you can be removed from your team and become teamless. No one will be automatically removed from a team but once you have missed 4 races in a row, your teammate may request that you are removed (so the spot becomes available for others to join) by requesting this in a PM to the mod.
5. Anybody that unjoins/retires/gets replaced after the sign-up is completed will NOT be eligible for another team spot at a later stage. This means NO team changing mid-season unless stated otherwise. But you can still join back and stay team-less.
6. This game will start when we have an ample number of participants.
7. The Champion of the season will host the following season unless he/she is unable or just chooses not to. However, the champion will not be allowed to compete in that season. Then the second-placed player will have the option to host the following season, and so on.
8. There will be 1-3 races per day (GPRO days). Race start times will be randomly chosen and will be spread across the day respectively. However, I do reserve the right to not do races on some days where my RL may require my attention, but 7 races per week should be the absolute minimum. There will be 24 races in the season, and every hour will be used (GPRO time) so that no players have an unfair advantage over others because of their timezones.
9. All you have to do is post “Finish” after I or a guest-host have started a Grand Prix by saying, “Start Spanish GP'', for example. ”Finish” should be posted on a separate line from any other text (words or numbers - a smiley or punctuation is fine) to be counted as a race finish. Posting finish as part of a sentence or as a quote (unless you use the quote to "Finish" - see rule #15) will not count as a race finish and will not be punished as in past seasons.
10. There may be hidden/very hidden/edited starts, but never beyond the 30 minute edit time. A valid start must have all the words in the same post and in the correct order. The words (or even letters, but in this case, they have to be highlighted) may not be together and can be spread in the post.
- Words used in hyperlinks (such as image links, or video links) will NOT be used as starts. If you see a word that is part of a valid race inside a hyperlink, it is not part of a valid start. Images and videos themselves can still be used for a valid start, though.
- The only language used for a valid start is ENGLISH. Any other language (such as Spanish) will not count towards a valid race start. The same goes for any codifications (such as Morse Code), so be careful.
- For this season especifically, all starts will be made on this thread only. As such, links to other sites that may contain the start are NOT counted towards a valid start. This rule may vary each season, depending on the host's decision.
11. If you are unsure if a guest-host is legitimate or not, then you should finish anyway. As long as there has been a post containing the valid race start wording, no one will be punished if the guest-host turns out not to be genuine. A player currently competing in the game cannot be a guest-host.
12. The races will finish any time after there have been 10 valid race finishes, or if the mod decides a long enough time has passed and it is unlikely to reach 10 valid finishes (perhaps due to a large number of DSQs). The scoring will be 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 respectively. Anyone finishing beyond that will not receive points but will be credited for taking part in the race.
13. Finishing twice in the same GP will result in DSQ from that race.
14. Everybody can post finish until I or co-host end the GP by saying "End Spanish GP", for example. Finishing after that will result in a DSQ for the next race. However, if you finish within 10 seconds after I have ended the race, perhaps due to lag, I will consider not disqualifying you. You will also receive a DSQ for the next race for finishing before a valid race start.
15. You can't quote a finish post to "Finish". If you do so, you will get a DSQ for the race.
16. You are not allowed to edit any posts after the season has started (I will put a warning in the thread to warn you when the season officially starts). If you do this during a race, you will be DSQ from that race and the next race. If you do this when a race is not running, you will be DSQ for the next race for your first offense, or for the next two races for any future offense.
17. The host is NOT allowed to edit posts of players when the season is ongoing. If this happens, please contact me immediately.
18. Anybody making a post including any of the following may result in a DSQ from the following race:
-counting down how many people have finished.
-stating how many people are needed to finish (e.g. '3 left to finish').
-asking for a race to start
-asking when the next race will start (all race times will be and are random)
-Spamming certain words or phrases that may replicate "Finish"
Note: Spamming, especially while any race is in progress, will be dealt with accordingly and the offending manager shall be dealt with ASAP. What constitutes as spam and the punishment for it, is at the discretion of the host. This is not meant to stop players from enjoying the game in any way. Excessive spamming simply causes confusion.
19. Do not start your own GPs at any time as you will get a DSQ for the next 2 races
20. The rules state that a driver must participate in 1 of 4 races to maintain his position in the team line-up. HOWEVER, if a driver decides to purposefully disqualify themselves in an attempt to save their place, they will be DSQ'd from the following race, and still be eligible for replacement.
21. All races will be in this thread, so try not to get a forum ban.
22. If you post "finish" in a race from which you've been DSQed (no matter the reason), you will be DSQed for the next race too unless the host hasn't made a clear post about you being DSQed.
23. The host has to avoid the Online Friends page to avoid create doubt over the fairness of the game, especially when there is no race taking place.
24. If I believe anyone is trying to gain an unfair advantage or bending rules out with the spirit of the game, or for any matter not covered in the rules that I believe is against the spirit of the game, then you may receive punishment at my discretion. My decision on this is final.

Statistics, and special rules.
The link for statistics and general information is:
https://oa3hx7jvoektmql-spad21c.adb.eu-frankfurt-1.oracleclo...
Let me tell you something about the application.
With a single click on the link, enter the application and you have information about players, teams, races and winners but also the hours left unused.
With another click on the dashes on the top left, open the secondary menu, from where you have access to reports.
You can leave feedback if you find the button and there is usually the possibility to install the application to stop looking for the link.
If something is missing please let me know.
However, I will also publish the essential information on the forum. Of course, I will update as often as possible. Don't laugh even if it's healthy. I'm just trying to be a good host - but not boring.
Please constantly follow these initial posts which will be constantly updated.
The first special rule
I will sponsor the winners.
For the 1st place 5 euros, the 2nd place 3 euros, the 3rd place 2 euros.
This is not a joke.
The second special rule
You can joke whenever you want.
A DSQ is punished with -1 point. This is a joke. However, elimination from a race is a penalty.
Failure to finish the race "NF" is punished with -3 points. This is a joke. I'm right about George. Managers have more to do than finish the races.
And for the second rule to still exist, the manager who wins a race is asked to post a joke. Of course if he agrees. But for the beauty of the game and for our enjoyment, I hope that the winner of the race will do it.
The third special rule
A joke is a display of humour in which words are used within a specific and well-defined narrative structure to make people laugh and is usually not meant to be taken seriously. Usually it takes the form of a story, often with dialogue, and ends in a punch line. It is in the punch line that the audience becomes aware that the story contains a second, conflicting meaning. This can be done using a pun or other word play such as irony or sarcasm, a logical incompatibility, nonsense, or other means.
A joke is a short humorous piece of oral literature in which the funniness culminates in the final sentence, called the punchline… In fact, the main condition is that the tension should reach its highest level at the very end. No continuation relieving the tension should be added. As for its being "oral," it is true that jokes may appear printed, but when further transferred, there is no obligation to reproduce the text verbatim, as in the case of poetry.
Any joke documented from the past has been saved through happenstance rather than design. Jokes do not belong to refined culture, but rather to the entertainment and leisure of all classes.
Expected response to a joke is laughter.
But, why laughter is healthy?
* Laughter relaxes the whole body. A good, hearty laugh relieves physical tension and stress, leaving your muscles relaxed for up to 45 minutes after.
* Laughter boosts the immune system. Laughter decreases stress hormones and increases immune cells and infection-fighting antibodies, thus improving your resistance to disease.
* Laughter triggers the release of endorphins, the body’s natural feel-good chemicals. Endorphins promote an overall sense of well-being and can even temporarily relieve pain.
* Laughter protects the heart. Laughter improves the function of blood vessels and increases blood flow, which can help protect you against a heart attack and other cardiovascular problems.
* Laughter burns calories. Okay, so it’s no replacement for going to the gym, but one study found that laughing for 10 to 15 minutes a day can burn approximately 40 calories—which could be enough to lose three or four pounds over the course of a year.
* Laughter lightens anger’s heavy load. Nothing diffuses anger and conflict faster than a shared laugh. Looking at the funny side can put problems into perspective and enable you to move on from confrontations without holding onto bitterness or resentment.
* Laughter may even help you to live longer. A study in Norway found that people with a strong sense of humor outlived those who don’t laugh as much. The difference was particularly notable for those battling cancer.
So whether you like the jokes that follow or not, it would be advisable to laugh.
The fourth special rule
There are no additional special rules. Because this game is as beautiful as it is. It must not be altered. Congratulations to the one who invented it!

Players and teams
In general, the tradition of being part of the same team is respected. But for possible beginners, we have increased the number of teams, so that they can choose more easily. At the end of the registrations, the teams without pilots will be eliminated from the table.

Yes, it was a little longer and I was putting the final ranking.
However, we will not start quickly. I give time to those who want to play to join.

Maybe yes maybe no...
Anyway, it's not part of the contest. We have to be kidding, at least until it starts.
The first rule certainly applies. That's not a joke.

I put it to try. My gain. I give a prize and I also work harder to manage more players.
