Deneb run ends surprisingly

Jan 28, 2006 zamzx zik link
Blackhole went the wrong way at the start, and /explode, thus he was disqualified.

but then, after starting with 8 racers, we had 3, all in odia, it was calder in first, and he died....then leber died how did they die? this will explain things :

Screwball won by slipping past the intense network of mines due to his nationality.

so the end scores when the awards were passed were : Screwball 2 million, Blackhole 2 Million.

Excellent job folks, now Erik will elaborate :

Damn lag...

I was sitting in the station entrance bay for a good 2-3 seconds, frantically pressing enter before I finally died to the Lmines.

-Calder

Spellcast tri-railed me in Geira, so I was at 30-40% or so for the rest of the race. I SAW the mines, I WAITED for Calder to enter ahead of me because of the mines, but he didn't get RID of enough of the mines with his explosion. Thought he might clear a path for me.

So I gritted my teeth, backed up, lined up the dock, and went for it at the full 220 m/s speed of the Hornet.

The force of the multiple mines' explosions sent me INSIDE the station and I could not see anything but "Blackhole Goldclaw" on my screen. Kinda funny, actually.

Oh and yeah Blackhole Goldclaw started the wrong way around, seemingly by mistake, and then came back to camp the station with L-mining friends. Dunno why the SF didn't shoot the mines.

So, let this be a lesson to all of you: from now on, never race unarmed. A nice N3 would have done wonders to get me into the station.
