Deneb Run #124
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 modified payout rule (in bold)! ***
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 participating.
Pre-condition #2: Less than 3 racers complete The Deneb Run.
If the above pre-conditions are met, up to half of the total available 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 racer-kill prize money (3 mil, 2 mil, 1 mil, or 0)
- The 2nd most recent eligible kill earns the 2nd highest racer-kill prize money (2 mil, 1 mil, or 0)
- The 3rd most recent eligible kill earns the 3rd highest racer-kill prize money (1 mil or 0)
Unclaimed prize money (up to 50% of the total the prize payout) will be added to the next Run's pot.
Please reply to this thread if you intend to race.

I'm all for people providing a challenge to the racers, but I am no longer willing to pay twelve million credits a week to pirates for parking their lazy asses at a wormhole. If you want a shot at the full prize payouts, you must race. I want to encourage racing, the intended activity for this event.
However, if the pirate guilds are interested in putting up money for anti-racers to win, I'm willing to put that up. Please have your Lieutenants or Commander contact myself or Mor Isil, either ingame or through the IRC relay to discuss details.

I'll be running!, Sign me up.
Looks like I'll be able to drop by. I have a brilliant plan for taking the checkered flag.
BOOM!

This was a triumph.

Yeah, that about sums it up.
For the less informed, the race hit B-8 and promptly exploded. Only one racer got through the pirates and their railguns, only to get blown up much later on in Deneb.
Really fellows, I know weight makes you slower, but exploding isn't the path to victory. The pirates are there and waiting, so bring along something to fight with, and use it.

It's kind of hard to fight 3-4 pirates at once and the point you're there is to race, not fight.
That's 2 Deneb Runs in a row the pirates have won! WOOO HOOOOO!!!
Wish we could manage that at Nation War...

This was a farce. Going through all the preparations for the race (which includes a few hours of raising money for sponsorship money, on top of the hour I spend ingame trying to get people to sign up) only to have the race over in two minutes because of four people camping the Odia/Sedina wormholes is not "fun", as the "pirates" call it.
