That i do know. But I haven't kept track of all the outcoms of the topics 1 to 6.
T8: 1
T9: 3
T9: 3
You are right, here is a round-up below: All of the topics are already decided:
Winning choices are highlighted..
TOPIC 1: TEAM ORDERS
- Ban all team orders. Even team-mates should not be told to yield. XXXX
- Ban team orders only between different teams. Sister teams included. XXXXXXXX
- Allow team orders only between the drivers managed by the same manager. XXX
- Do not ban anykind of team orders.
- Sister teams can't buy any player-manufactured engines. XX
- Sister teams can buy player-manufactured engines if they are not owned by the main team. X
- Sister teams can't buy the same engine as the main team. XXX
- Sister teams can buy any engine. XXXXX
- Sister teams can't do tyre and engine tests. But they can buy any engine. X
- Implement a new system which will be activated 1-3 times per race and cause mechanical problems at a randomly selected car regardless of its upgrades and driver skills. XXXX
- Implement the system mentioned above, but do not result in sudden retirements. Instead give a significant amount of car wear. XXXXXXXX
- Do not implement a random failure system. XXX
- Driver testing, winning, finishing on podium and achieving certain sponsors will increase a drivers' affinity with their team. These affinity points will increase the managers' bonus points for the next season's driver bidding wars. XXXXXXXXXX
- Don't implement a relationship system. XXXXX
- Decrease the speed of the sister teams by default. But give reward credits to their main teams according to their finishing results in addition to their own credit rewards.
- Force sister teams to use Renault/Ferrari/Mercedes/Cosworth engines, but do not nerf their default speeds. (TOPIC 3 is related to this, but the ultimate solution will be this one if picked) XXXX
- Do not nerf their default speeds, but prevent sister teams to hire drivers with more than 5 trained skills. (That is to say established drivers refuse to drive for pesky junior squads) XXX
- Don't touch to sister teams. X
- Start sister teams with -10 chassis upgrade. (Notice the negative number.) X
- Introduce a multi-class system and put sister teams into that one. Their speeds will be lower, but they will have their own championship. X
- Remove Sister Teams. XX
- At the end of each season, each driver will lose 4-5 of their skills randomly.
- Same as the first choice, but their managers pick the skills to deteriorate. X
- At the end of each season, each driver will lose %5 of their skills, picked randomly. XXXXXXXX
- No deterioration. X
- A manager can build up their relationship with their drivers over the course of a season. Podium finishes, certain sponsors, doing testings and meetings will increase the relationship. These relationship points give extra points to that manager when bidding for that driver in the next season. XXXXXXX
- Every team is allowed to say before it opens 1 driver (one only) which they can keep for the next season. These drivers stay at the team, but all have a buyout price, which is their highest attribute score multiplied by 1000. Teams don't have to keep any drivers if they don't want, and you cannot refuse a buyout offer. For driver 2 or both, normal bidding applies. (Jim's idea) XXXXX
- If a manager who owns a manufactured engine leaves the game without any notice or its manager wants to drop it, their engine becomes a default game-controlled engine which can be bought by anyone. X
- If a manager who owns a manufactured engine leaves the game without any notice or its manager wants to drop it, other managers can bid for the ownership of the engine. Bid starts at minimum 1000 credits. The previous owner gets the half amount of the winning bid. XXXXXXXX
- If a manager who owns a manufactured engine leaves the game without any notice or its manager wants to drop it, other managers can bid for the ownership of the engine. Bid starts at minimum 1000 credits. The previous owner gets nothing. X
- If a manager who owns a manufactured engine leaves the game without any notice or its manager wants to drop it, the engine becomes unavailable. X
If anyone has any questions/feedback/suggestions please say it in 1-2 days as the meeting will come to an end with the decisions taken above. Thank you everyone for their valuable and patient contributions for the game. Let's hope the changes will be for the best!
I am especially happy with the sister teams' decision as it will allow them to be competitive while also giving a chance for the lower tier engines to be improved.
I don't agree at all with being forced to use a certain engine with my sister team. Also feel like this has only been raised as an issues since I beat everyone with a sister team, seeing that the 2nd best finished in a mighty 10th position...
Prepare for heavy complaints whenever I'm hit by a random failure.
If drivers lose skill, it should be same amount of points. Don't see why I should lose 4000 or more worth of skill points, while ohers lose 400. I'll complain if they lose in categories I had trained from start on.

I don't know whether you are being sarcastic or you mixed Porsche with Peugeot, but the answer is the only 4 engines listed at the topic.
Relooking at the close votings regarding the Sister Team nerf decision, let's have a final one about this:
Sister team cant buy the same engine as the main team. And that's it. Agree if you agree and 5 agrees are enough for it to past.
I mixed them up, just can't think how frustrated I am with the outcome. I did mix them up earlier in our private chat if you remember
But what makes Porsche so different to the 4 listed? I think this is a little unfair.

I believe I still had some votes
I was leaning towards that vote on Topic 6, so no problem there, same with Topic 8, agree with that too.
Topic 9 I don't give a flying f*** about

I'm very happy with tje changes. It will give new managers better changes to succeed and hopefully level the playing field. The skill decay also stops skill inflation which is only a good thing.
We have to look things from the broader perspctive. Top teams have to be disadvantaged a little to make the game more enjoyable for more people. Gaps have been too big and are only bound to get bigger if nothing was done. And I'm not referring to Tobi's teams only.

I knew, but there was no topic left which can be changed with a single vote.

Exactly, and they all were voted in my favour anyhowI knew, but there was no topic left which can be changed with a single vote.
I don't see how 5 (and 8) will level the playing field.
That's why I waited against topic 5. But you have to look at the broader picture and not get stuck on one or two points. On a whole these will hopefully level it up.
According to the text above, you don't have to pick them. If you fulfill conditions for more than 1, you have to pick one.

Double is Pole/Win I thought
