For example if I made a car and posted it and gave its description, and you have a car that can compete or is “better”, post it here and give details on it.
Abd reviewers can review them and see which one is best for u
Now let’s start with Compact Cars
The post is very vague, but I see what the idea here is. You’re looking to form some kind of market research thing where we can cluster information on cars that people make and see which ones are competitors.
For example, somebody posts and says hey I made a D segment premium RWD sedan. Then a whole bunch of people might look at it and pipe up and say hey I did the same kind of thing, here’s mine, and then you can compare the stats etc. In real life, there’s no single way to define better because it depends on the kind of person who buys what car and how much of a stickler they are for specific characteristics (e.g. the Muscle market). This is one way in which there is always tension between the metric of Automation and the real world which isn’t often driven on data and rational thought (otherwise we wouldn’t have so many fucking crossovers on the roads).
This may be helpful for looking for specific things like if somebody else has covered your niche. The real life rationale is that closely matched products can create competition which creates buzz which should improve brand awareness and interest in both.
The problem here is that if you have just one thread for the lot, it can get really messy.
I see this as a multi-reviewer version of the Car Shopping Round (CSR) series, and this could be fun with some written rules to regulate what manufacturers and reviewers should do, are allowed to do, or are not allowed to do, amongst other things.
@ejj, we need to know when the period of the car should be. I think that we shouldn’t be reviewing both 2010’s cars and 1950’s cars in one round (?), for example.
Thank you for posting a written rule. However, I do have some questions:
Why one reviewer? I thought multi-reviewer would be fun. Either posting the .car file in the thread or PMing the car reviewers interested (via an ad posted on the main thread) would be a way to implement multi-reviewer system IMO.
I assume the reviewer has the freedom to rate cars to compare cars between reviews. Am I right?
Also, adding the car category to be made would be a good idea, so one post can solve everything.
Finally, is there a set time period to end the rounds?
its still way too vague to be an enjoyable competition. But at this point, its not really a competition anyways, its basically a crowd sourced car reviewing thread.
