#crew rules

(you can read this post via TinyURL, too: https://tinyurl.com/NoisyCarsInc)

Hello, I am the admin of a crew named Noisy Cars inc. in the mobile game CSR Racing 2. In this page you will find some information about how we play, and also a little set of rules that you're bounded to, if you like to join the crew.

How can I join the crew?

The crew is public, just search Noisy Cars inc. if you like to join us: if there any spots left (currently there are 30 available), you will be immediately admitted.

Do I need to maintain some requirements to stay in the crew?

We're not a highly competitive team and neither intend to be in the future, so if you're looking for a "guaranteed car every 2 weeks" crew, probably Noisy Cars inc. is not for you. However, at the same time, we still require a constant presence in the crew: this is verified weekly with score and tokens contributions.

What can I do to contribute in the crew?

What mustn't I do to stay in the crew?

Have no score and no tokens donated to wildcards on the weekly checks: every Wednesday the admin will verify on the crew scoreboard if all of these criteria are failed, and will remove from the crew the members who haven't scored a single point and haven't donated tokens to the wildcards. You will likely get the boot for this only if you're an inactive player: even with a single access in a week you should be able to stay...

Activate the wildcards without any proper plan: wildcards are a common resource in the game, and activating them only for your advantage is considered "stealing". See below for the detailed procedure you have to follow, if you intend to activate one.

(Needless to say,) Misbehave in the chat and/or in the common talking spaces: any form of hate speech, bullying and harassment in the chats is strictly not tolerated. Those who will insist in misbehaving will be immediately kicked off the crew, and also reported to the CSR2 admins for the ban procedure.

I want to use a wildcard! How can I do?

Remember that wildcards are generated by token donations from all members, not just you: as mentioned before, activating a wildcard without a proper plan is considered "stealing" and can bring you to be removed from the crew.

Here's a procedure you should follow before activating wildcards:

Post in the crew chat (not the general chat!) that you intend to activate a specific wildcard, at least 6 hours before you would do so. You can post a message like XX% wildcard will be activated at [defined time] / in [number] hours!.

If possible, pin the post in the chat and send a notification to avoid losing your announcement among all the (not-so-useful...) game notifications

If you use the "defined time" in your announcement, be sure to indicate also your time zone: the crew includes members from all over the world, and not all members are aware of the others' base place, so they can't tell a time from "5pm" only

You may want to activate the wildcard even if you don't have enough tokens to do so: you can ask for contributions from other members with a message like Place at least XXX tokens on the XX% wildcard if you like to have it activated at [defined time]. Provide a minimum 6-hour delay in this case, too

After the time window has passed, you are allowed to activate the wildcard. Activation is allowed even if, at first glance, this was not immediately possible (see previous point). In case you are late, any member of the crew can proceed with the activation without any penalty.

An exception to planned activations is when there are less than 12 hours remaining in the 14-days season: since at the end of the season all the unused crew tokens will be erased, it's better to activate a wildcard without warning, rather than losing an opportunity to raise the crew championship...

Finally, what can you do during an activated wildcard? Your best choice is taking any kind of live races (both the "standard" and the "showdown" ones): they give more RP points, even if you happen to lose, so the wildcard's effect is more amplified!
