Deneb Run #118
The Makchuga, CDC and TGFT are proud to bring you The Deneb Run this weekend.
*** The TIME will be 4PM Eastern Standard Time, 1PM Pacific, 9PM Sunday GMT (Or 21:00) ***
*** Please take note of the two new/modified rules! ***
The race progress announcements will be announced on Channel 500
All citizens are welcome to race, there is no entrance fee, and 6 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) There is a maximum eight-racer limit (seven if there is only one MC), or four racers per group. This is to allow the MCs to actually be able to MC the race and keep track of all the racers. Spots are first-come, first-served, with a priority on those who post to this thread. The group sizes may be increased if the MCs can handle it and there is enough interest on a given week. (new rule)
4) Contestants must be within 100m of the MC(s) before the start
5) No shooting before the race starts.
- Depending on the severity of the infraction, and at the host's (or hosts') discretion, violation of this rule can result in not only a disqualification for the current race, but also a ban from winning prize money as either a racer or an anti-racer in future Deneb Runs. (new rule extension)
6) You die and you're out (so no /exploding)
7) All weapons and ships allowed, except those listed in #11.
8) First person to get back and dock at Odia M14 wins the first prize. (3 million credits)
9) Second person back gets 2nd place prize (2 million credits)
10) Third person back gets 3rd place prize (1 million credits)
11) Valkyrie ships are not allowed.
12) Attempting to trigger a false start of the race is grounds for disqualification.
13) 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 (3 mil, 2 mil, 1 mil, or 0)
- The 2nd most recent eligible kill earns the 2nd highest unawarded prize money (2 mil, 1 mil, or 0)
- The 3rd most recent eligible kill earns the 3rd highest unawarded prize money (1 mil or 0)

I want to race. But I won't! :)
Have fun, racers. Good luck.

DR didn't happen today; we'll try again next weekend, same timeslot.
Only one person showed up to race, and I had a lot of stuff to do today and didn't have time to delay the start.

Just a reminder for those interested in racing today:
The Deneb Run is being held in the early slot (2100 GMT, 1600 EST, 1300 PST) this afternoon. In the event that my already-crappy wireless internet craps out even harder than it has been (I hate traveling, and I hate wireless internet even more), Mor will be around to host the Run in my absence.

No Kat, no party... :)
DR will be held tomorrow (in theory) at 0000 GMT (1900 EST, 1600 PST).
Nobody showed up last weekend, which can probably be attributed to the later start time (sorry about that, travel + timezones == fail). We'll try again this Saturday at the normal early slot time (aka 2100 GMT, 1600 EST, 1300 PST).
...Or attributed to the lack of Kittenburger... :D
Or to the fact that most regular racers aren't playing anymore at all.
And those that do just don't care as much anymore... -.-

I'd be more than willing to put the run on a temporary hiatus for a few weeks if the regular racers want a break or something, but I'd at least like to get this one done so I don't have to go looking for the thread when we start up again...
Well, if anyone wants a break he just doesn't race...
as for the run inself, that depends if you want to host it or not

The Racers:
Mick - UIT councilor of PA; often races, usually places well.
El Cheapo - UIT; this was his first race.
Surbius Bondevo - UIT councilor and lieutenant of TGFT; he races from time to time.
The Results:
Surbius Bondevo | 32:00 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FCPC, no weapons.
Mick | DNF | Vulture MKIII, FCPC, no weapons.
El Cheapo | DNF | Vulture, HPC, 2x Geminis.
Observations:
1) El Cheapo started going the wrong way, but quickly corrected his course.
2) Despite the appearance of late of a lack of pirate activity, El Cheapo was shot down by Kragmier in Odia (claiming third), Mick was shot down by Raktar in Geira (claiming second), and Surbius was chased by Stump Breaker from Jallik to Odia.
3) We finally had enough racers to hold this Run. Yay!
The Run will be held next week; stay tuned for timing.

Yay for DR rebirth!
Sounds more like "DR splattered racers" to me, Kat. :P
Yes, true, Miha. But some activity is better, IMO, than no activity at all. Even if such activity is mainly on pirate side.
I'm fond of the DR - it was the only reason I connected in the last months of my career. I wish it to thrive, and be a refreshing moment of server-wide fun in an otherwise barren environment.
