I was trying to think of a way that the game could be made more competitive without taking away the "race for cash" option that allows people to donate all their funds to their buddies to make those last minute jumps.
I was only able to come up with two options, so I will run them both past everyone for your thoughts on them.
First off, instead of removing the "race for cash" option, just put a limit on the amount of cash you can race for and make a limit on the number of times you can race for cash against the same driver in a specified period of time.
Second idea, why not have a "random session end point" Instead of having a clock that counts down to the last minute of the session, set the game session to end at some random time interval somewhere between day 21 and day 30. Then, without warning, or chance to everyone to schedule their last minute jumps in NW, people can long on and just see that they missed their window and session is over. If someone wants to jump, make it happen early on and then they just have to hold it to session end if they can.
Anyway, just a couple of thoughts to make the game more interesting and competitive.
