Where were the comet bars? 
Congratulations again to @That-S-cop for clapping everyone yet again! And I’m in second place again, hell yeah.

Had not placed and trash, as always, wooow, what a surprise.
Letho I strongly suggest that you don’t bring salt to both Discord and the forums. It’s a good way to get yourself in trouble for starting drama.
Take a deep breath, walk away, and come back to it later once you’ve cooled off :))

A word of advice. I strongly suggest you change the way you view “losses” and competitions and general. Yes, not making it to the podium can be disappointing to see. But you need to view this not as a loss, but as a chance to improve. Corsica was nice enough to write out highly specific posts about each of our cars. Use that as a resource so you can learn what went right and what went wrong, so that next time you’ll throw out a better product than before.
As for competitions, I advise you to not view them as things to win, but as opportunities to improve yourself. For me, I’m happy enough if I put out an entry that’s better than anything I have previously made, or if I’ve learned something that I overlooked or simply didn’t know. The more you improve, the more likely you will be to win a competition. You’re already a good designer, but everyone has a thing or two to learn. Winning should not be the primary focus.
In addition, don’t expect to win every competition you enter. In fact, don’t even expect to land a podium position. I’m not saying don’t try your best, but that you shouldn’t have very high expectations. Because more often than not, you won’t perform as well you have expected and it’ll result in things like this happening. This goes for life in general, if you always set your expectations high you’ll always be disappointed. But that’s just my $0.02. You can take this advice, or we can repeat everything that’s just happened in the next few competitions. The choice is yours.

Okay, okay, okay. Your van wasn’t trash, you aren’t trash, nobody is thinking that you are trash except you. That doesn’t qualify you an instant access to the finals however, despite what you might be thinking.
Even with the 300 word review you received, if you feel there’s some info missing or you want clarification on something, you’re welcome to DM me as I mentioned in the post. Ignoring every piece of criticism and then going on another tirade isn’t going to help you or anyone else and is just setting it up for this kind of thing to happen again and again. Listen to what others are saying, read what is said about your car, ask for more info if needed and learn from your mistakes.
Please, for the sake of everyone and yourself, learn from this experience. I know everyone is different, but you can’t expect to be brilliant at everything without listening to the actual, useful criticism given to you. Don’t act like you’re better or worse than everyone else, you’re only hurting yourself with that. Giving up is the worst thing you can do, you can hopefully sense that from the reaction you caused.
Letho, I hope the best for you, but please learn from your mistakes.

Gah, knew I was going a bit too wild with the design. All is forgiven when I crunched it in 3 hours and did my best not to conform with the language of the Beat. Anyways, great round! Lots of effort put into it!
As for the salt, oh well.

->Letho gives me shit for quitting RSA
->Also Letho
After taking way too long to calm down from an adrenaline spike And maybe a bad winner moment… sorry Delta
Glad for the win… on my first CSC… I’ve stunned myself. Questioning on opening a round with the current state of the game and mods.
With Marksman’s particularly close connection to Comet-Bar, we will be requesting if we can get Comet-Bar Stockman and Workman bars as a dealer option for the Convey.

A vanilla csc maybe?!
Is anyone willing to do so? I mean I’m fine with it… and there’s a chance we won’t have all/most the useful mods as soon as 4.24 hits… when 4.24 stable comes is a touch uncertain at the moment, however, but we don’t want to get stuck when the update hits. Vanilla CSC is a likely option…

I would have liked to know if I even got close to 6th, but nonetheless fun 
yeah my designs are always… off, those headlights really bugged me
I would vote for vanilla CSC for sure, as that’s the only way for me to enter with my current hardware (though I suspect the engine change also contributing to that improvement)
Lucky you. I’m happy if my submissions don’t get binned in the first round 
What’s the plan with this? Is it a case of still waiting for the stable update to hit?
I’m just wondering as this could have been run in the mean time
Yeah basically… and a few mods have already started being ported over, eg, MDHL2.
The Vanilla option is ever present and looming
CSC31 - Mildly Quirky Citruses
Or something… oh hey… no Comet-Bar reference
The round will open a few days after UE4.24 drops to stable. Looks to be soon enough
Shuriken Motor Company, May 2016, Tokyo
“Right… we need a new idea to lure the younger demographic into our cars and no… I’m not trusting you with ideas from the failure that was making a Sports car of our Flagship Off-roader a few years ago”
after some wishful thinking
“Nothing sir”
“Perhaps a new compact segment car?”
“I suppose… it’s the opposite direction of the Redline package on the Surveyor”
“Did that ever sell?”
“In the UAE, a little in Australia when Comet-Bar Bought a few and made them into Comet-Tourers, at least a Compact will have a better global market presence”
“Compact… any other ideas”
“Quirky Styling!!!”
“Urh… It could work”
THE BRIEF
Come up and design a Compact or similarish car with Quirky Styling for the Shuriken Motor Company.
Guidelines:
- Must an A, B or C segment Small car or uuurh… Crossover (For the sake of it… marginally more points for being a Crossover because that’s what Consumers apparently want… a jacked-up worse plastic cladded Wagon/Hatch)
- Car Name must be Fruit/Food (Preferably Fruit) or Blade related, eg: Pip, Zest, Juice?…
That or if you are making a B segment Hatchback you could name it Sashimi. if you want to.
This comes from the fact Shuriken also makes Kitchen Knives and utensilsand used to make weaponry. - Naming convention as Standard:
Car: CSC31 - [USER] | Shuriken [CAR NAME]
Engine: CSC31 - [USER] | [Whatever the hell… just don’t be impolite] - Car and engine Trim and Variant years 2016
- No engineering required
- The Shuriken Badge is a Shuriken made of a Square and 4 triangles made of 4 fixtures in a diamond, one can just put a Diamond.
Tips, these are the only ones you are getting, infer the rest
- Known Engine sizes for Shuriken at this sort of size bracket are 1.1, 1.6, 2.0 and 2.4 Litres, helpful if you want to put Engine size badges on.

Try to incorporate the
>w<face… You don’t need to… and it actually might make it more conventional to Shuriken styling if you do. don’t ask how I don’t know either… - Hard lines prefered,
it’s mearly an example of quirky designModern Shuriken Cars... I don't think these will help
Mainly as I only have 2 cars remotely modern
Shuriken Masakari/Surveyer this one being my CSR122 vehicle.
This is outdated 5 years at least and is literally an LC200
Shuriken Tanto
This was made for a Racing Showcase, But you could maybe take the lights. Here’s the back for the sake of it
Am I basically asking for people to design me a car design language for a company I barely have lore on? Yes
SCORING MERIT
- General/Overall looks/Face Value
- Quirkiness factor [Be cautious]
- Projected Market Taste
- Era correctness/modernism
- Design Consistency and Attention to detail
- Shurikeness/How well it fits in with the current line up
[not very applicable… don’t worry about this as much]

2018 Shuriken Bsnama Sport
Description
A quirky lifted hot hatch targeted towards younger customers.
Is it a crossover? It’s up to your discretion. It can certainly offroad better than any crossover on the market.
Power comes from a 2.0 SOHC turbocharged inline six, with all cast internals and low friction pistons. making 200 hp @5400 rpm and 227 lb ft@3000 RPM, which is sent to all four wheels at a 40/60 F/R split through a 6 speed dual clutch transmission and a viscous LSD.This is enough to send the little pocket rocket to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and top speed is clocked at 144 mph.
A modern infotainment system, standard 10’s safety, a progressive suspension, electric variable steering, and an offroad underway complete the list of standard features for the Sport trim. Fuel economy is solid at 36.7 mpg combined, or an EPA estimate of 33 mpg city and 40 mpg highway,
Though the regular Banana starts at under 20k, the premium features and sports-tuned engine drive the Sport trim’s price to $28700.
Note: the Banana happens to be a badge engineered MTC Prairie, and was conceived due to a small partnership between the two companies resulting in Shuriken acquiring the rights to sell the Prairie in the Japanese market under its own branding, in return for Shuriken giving MTC access to its kei car platforms and engines.
(I was done with my design as it was basically just a rebadge of one of my existing designs, so I’m posting it now, will submit the car when the window opens)

I know we're not on 4.24 yet and entries haven't even opened but this is all vanilla so hopefully it'll work. I'm also so bored that I made it lol
