Deneb Run #125
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.

You're all getting railed.
Again.
Again.
You might consider paying us NOT to kill the racers...
I will race if I remember to wake up in time.
My fellow [CLM] guildmates and pirate brothers-in-arms will CERTAINLY not shoot one of their own members...
... would they ?

Dunno leebs. You're more of a mascot than an actual pirate. Eventually, I predict that CLM will run either out of tequila and you'll tire of them, or they'll tire of you.
Either way, to quote you in your own words: "Death Means Nothing."

I'd kill you Leber. And for free too
"... would they ?"

Wow, a clean sweep of pirate posts. However, your quaint concepts of "Odds", "Logic", and "Self-Preservation" are all well in my rearview mirror, because my plans are going at Ludicrous Speed! And should my brilliant plan fail (Impossible!), I'll put up a vid of my thought process in crafting it so you can point out the flaws (There won't be any, because it cannot fail! Oh, how I pity you fools).
On the theory that having more racers will stretch the pirates thinner, and make it more likely someone will finish, I, Istamir Sol, plan to race. Oh, and I will also be going at Ludicrous Speed (spaceballs FTW).
GAH! What kind of man- no, BEAST -makes the impossible possible! How could my brilliance fail?!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo.......

== Observations ==
1. A great race! The pirates came out in force, and there were major tussles in Sedina B-8, Edras I-2, and Odia M-14. The racers brought their game today, though, and all but two made it to dock!
2. At first I thought a slight modification of the rules surrounding the end of the race might be considered, due to the large number of pirates and the probability that they would care more about killing everyone than about the money, but, while the latter was true, nobody actually died in M-14. A number of defenders showed up (including yours truly and other racers, both DNF and finished), and a great deal of fun was had by all.
3. As guest host, I had a bunch of fun, but I know I made several mistakes in the above listing. If you see a mistake and would like to have it corrected, please either post here or message me in-game and I will do so.
Thanks to everyone who either raced or participated in some way! Hopefully for the next race we'll have even greater numbers!
