Deneb Run #135
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 Saturday GMT (Or 21:00) ***
*** 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.

== The Racers ==
Breazle - Union Lieutenant of the GDAP. He races frequently and usually does well.
Mick - Union councilor of the Phoenix Alliance. A top racer who always flies his signature Vulture MkIII.
Milferd - Union pilot of GTCF. I think this was his first ride.
toshiro - Serco pilot for Shades of Red. He races from time to time.
Stel - Unguilded Union pilot, this was their first race.
== The Results ==
Breazle | 29:44 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC, no weapons.
Mick | 29:50 | Vulture MkIII, FC, no weapons.
toshiro | 32:33 | Warthog MkII, FC, no weapons.
Stel | 32:50 | Orion Hornet Convoy Guardian, FC, no weapons.
Milferd | 33:45 | Centurion Superlight, UC, Widowmaker.
== Observations ==
1. Very heated race today. The racers quickly separated into two groups consisting of Breazle and Mick, and Milferd, Stel and toshiro. Mick and Breazle fought constantly for first place through most of the race, finishing six seconds apart from each other. Milferd, Stel and toshiro also fought over third place, changing positions frequently. toshiro and Stel pulled away from Milferd towards the end and finished just under twenty seconds from each other.
2. All of the racers, except Milferd, hit a twelve-kilometer ion storm in Pherona O-7 despite being warned ahead of time by Breazle and Mick!
As usual, schedule and attendence-permitting, there will be another Deneb Run at 2100h GMT next Saturday. Hope to see you next week!
