Deneb Run #123

May 31, 2008 Mor Isil link
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 12 Million credits in prizes (doubled from last time!) 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. (6 million credits)
9) Second person back gets 2nd place prize (4 million credits)
10) Third person back gets 3rd place prize (2 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 (6 mil, 4 mil, 2 mil, or 0)
- The 2nd most recent eligible kill earns the 2nd highest unawarded prize money (4 mil, 2 mil, or 0)
- The 3rd most recent eligible kill earns the 3rd highest unawarded prize money (2 mil or 0)

Please reply to this thread if you intend to race.

== The Racers ==
Breazle - Union pilot, member of PA. He's raced a lot recently.
Amotoma - Itani pilot, councilor of PA. He's raced a few times.
NP - Union pilot, lieutenant of PA. He's not raced for a while.
Aron Jones - Itani Pilot, member of ITAN. This was his first race.

== The Results ==
Breazle | DNF | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FCPC, no weapons.
Amotoma | DNF | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FCPC, no weapons.
NP | DNF | Vulture MKIII, FCPC, no weapons.
Aron Jones | DNF | Itani Centurion Border Guardian, FCPC, 2x Neutron MKIIIs.

== Observations ==
1) Deadly race, all of them were killed by a massive pirate force in Sedina B-8. Sharingan claimed third-place prize money, and Impavid claimed second- and first-place prize money. :|
2) This has to be one of the fastest races ever.
3) Some rule changes might be in order for the next race. There were a ton of pirates-- I'd much rather see some of them racing.
4) The Deneb Run is on for a few weeks, care of Vehement's tourney next weekend, and mine and Miharu's honeymoon the following two weeks.

Ah. Aron was in an ICBG. That explains why he was the last one into B8, and, thus, the last pilot issued by the pie-rats.
Jun 07, 2008 Impavid link
No, he saw us all and jumped out of B8 and in from a different direction.

Unfortunately for him, I saw him doing it, and was waiting :D I don't think you need a rule change, there were only 4 pirates. We just rock.

GREAT RACE EVERYONE!
