Deneb Run #42
EnB and TGFT will again be hosting The Deneb Run this weekend.
*** Listen to racing music on Radio TGFT at http://www.live365.com/stations/dj_screwball ***
*** Valkyries are allowed again! ***
*** The TIME will be 5 PM EST Saturday (which I *think* is 21:00 Saturday according the /time) ***
All citizens are welcome to race, there is no entrance fee, and 4 Million credits in prizes are available. Some of it could be yours!
Once again, the rules are:
1) Racers must race from Odia M14 through Deneb heading clockwise back to Odia M14.
2) Race starts in Odia M14 near the station.
3) Contestants must be within 100m of me before the start
4) No shooting before I start the race.
5) You die and you're out (so no /exploding)
6) All weapons and ships allowed, except those listed in #10.
7) First person to get back and dock at Odia M14 wins the first prize. (2 million credits)
8) Second person back gets 2nd place prize (1.2 million credits)
9) Third person back gets 3rd place prize (800k credits)
10) Money for killing other racers: Any pilot, racing or not, is eligible to earn money as follows:
Pre-condition #1: There must be at least 3 racers
Pre-condition #2: Less than 3 racers complete The Deneb Run
If the above pre-conditions are met, the undistributed prize money will be awarded to those who killed the racers as follows:
- Kills in the Odia M-14 sector are not eligible
- The most recent eligible kill earns the highest unawarded prize money (2 mil, 1.2 mil, 800k, or 0)
- The 2nd most recent eligible kill earns the 2nd highest unawarded prize money (1.2 mil, 800k, or 0)
- The 3rd most recent eligible kill earns the 3rd highest unawarded prize money (800k or 0)
I believe this is a good way of saying thanks to those who help spice things up for the racers, without encouraging station camping (which is too easy).
Please reply to this thread if you intend to race.

5PM EST is 9:00 PM BST, according to Apple's timezone thingie.
Yes! Finally, someone realized the TRUTH! It's a FOUR hour difference now, not FIVE!
Announcing the results of The Deneb Run #42, sponsored by EnB and TGFT.
The Pilots
----------
Blue Streak: Itani, member of SB, the winningest racer in The Deneb Run.
Mick: UIT, another veteran racer with many strong finishes and a win under his belt.
Joyce Sanders: UIT, Commander of SB, she almost always finishes, has a win, and is usually in the top 3.
John Rambler: UIT, council member of TGFT, he is a veteran racer with several top 3 finishes, but outright victory has eluded him.
Tamion Le Chatelier: Itani, this is his first race.
The Race

The Stats
---------
Blue Streak | 31:51 | TPG Raptor Prototype, FC Battery, No Weps
Tamion Le Chatelier | 31:55 | Itani, IDF Valkyrie Vigilant, FC Battery, No Weps
Mick | 35:50 | Orion Hornet, FC battery, no weapons
Joyce Sanders | 44:26 | Valkyrie Vengeance, FC battery, no weapons
John Rambler | DNF (withdrew) | IDF Valkyrie, UC Battery, No Weps
Breazle!: | DNF | EC-88, Free Battery, Government Issue Plasma Cannon
Interesting observations:
1. 4 Seconds! After travelling all the way around the galaxy, the margin of victory was 4 seconds!
2. There were no pilots killed by pirates this week. None, zero, zip, nada, the null set, the complete lack of any number above 0 and only the presence of a big round "o" representing, you guessed it, jack squat. Perhaps the pirates were feeling the after effects of hijacking all those holiday supply shipments of Peeps?
