Deneb Run #120
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, 8PM Saturday GMT (Or 20:00) ***
*** 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)
Please reply to this thread if you intend to race.

Right, so, it's been a couple months since we last tried one of these. Here's the deal this weekend: I've got meetings and work up the wazoo, but have managed to section off the block of time between 1900h and 2100h GMT. I will be ingame as close to 1900h as possible, and I really want to start at 2000h, *on time*. If we can't start on time (either due to people moving towards Odia in XCs loaded with samoflange, or a lack of racers), I will need to go back to getting my work done, and it will be at Mor's discretion if/when the Run actually happens.
If you know you want (and will be able) to participate, please respond here. As a general rule, it's helpful if racers are ingame and in Odia M-14 no later than ten minutes prior to race start (ie, 19:50 GMT).
Mor and I want to get the Deneb Run back to being a regular weekly event, but until at least one of us is out of school for the summer, schedules may be a little tight.
Hope to see you there!

Wooo!
I'll be in the lab for much of today, so I don't think it's likely I'll be back in time to participate. However, I am definitely interested in doing so in the future.

== The Racers ==
Amotoma - Itani pilot, member of PA. This was his first race.
Blackhole Goldclaw - Union pilot, member of CLM. He races once in a while.
lord spidey - Itani pilot, councilor of ITAN. He races infrequently.
Mick - Union pilot, councilor of PA. A veteran pilot in the Deneb Runs, he has many first-place finishes under his belt.
Riddik Willenium - Serco pilot, member of TGFT. This was his first race.
== The Results ==
Mick | 28:44 | - Vulture MkIII, FC, no weapons.
lord spidey | 28:46 | - Warthog MkII, FC, no weapons.
Amotoma | DNF | - Warthog MkII, FC, no weapons.
Riddik Willenium | DNF | - Corvus Marauder, FC, 3x N2.
Blackhole Goldclaw | DNF | - Corvus Vulturius, FC, no weapons.
== Observations ==
1) This was a pretty intense race; first place changed hands several times between four of the racers, eventually settling in the hands of Mick.
2) This was indeed a 'photo' finish, with the first and second place racers docking within two seconds of each other.
3) Blackhole Goldclaw was taken out first by the SMV Nemesis. Riddik retired from the race due to lag, and Amotoma was nailed in the M-14 docks by a rogue Aerna Seeker.
Assuming schedules aren't conflicting, we intend to host another race next weekend; however, we also plan to have some changes lined up regarding prize money. Stay tuned to the RP forums for more information!

Did Amotoma get killed at the beginning or end? Both would suck anyhow.
Amotoma was killed at the very end. I could see him approaching the dock, maybe ten metres from docking. Blackhole Goldclaw was after him with a flare Rag, and he musta triggered the SF as well, or just gotten caught in the splash.
me a mick finished with a 2 second difference
so dan close
so dan close
As i approached the dock at high speed, I noticed Blackhole was spamming into it with missiles so after getting hit by a couple of them I dodged away and started shooting at him (I did have 1 LENB in my hog), landed a few hits before he was taken out by the SF. Next I remember was my hud being spammed with the text
"You are not allowed to dock at this station" as i frantically pressed the activate button inside the dock, I tried to get out again but then all went black..
Fun race with good action :) Thanks Mor and Miharu for excellent hosting
