8PM GMT seems fine, host has stated this time so yeah, if you wanna show up late, that's fine, you can always practice for the next one.

Nov 12, 2010 look... no hands link
they were fun back then, hopefully they still will be.
Nov 12, 2010 CrazySpence link
well I have been in a couple sweet furballs lately and they were just as fun as some I had in 03 so hopefully tube racing is also as fun as it used to be

if not it wont happen again, if it is crazy unbalanced we can make rules for next time

We'll see what happens!
Nov 12, 2010 tarenty link
If it's fun, it will happen next week too, right? I can't be there.

This was awesome! We've gotta do it again.

Ok so we had 7 racers which was split into two heats

Heat 1: ARF_01 Won, peytros second
Heat 2: Slime Won, everyone else died so there was no second place advancement

Champion heat:
Slime and peytros seemed nervous to go at first and then killed each other inches from the gate leading ARF_01 to be the first Champion!

This caused me to have to make up a prize as I had not thought that far ahead and gave him 5mil of my own creds

Afterwards a couple more fun rounds went by including one where RIn Ganborro won a race with a Behemoth!
Nov 13, 2010 yodaofborg link
Yeah, and the moth party afterwords was awesome! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YRAUle-lEiI

Lol, we cheated, we went on "on your marks"

LMAO, I hate video!

During the moth round I was expecting there to be more than just two. Next time we should maybe only use one gunner each so there can be more ships actually racing.

Also, for the record, the race CrazySpence was referring to where I won in a moth was not the moth round (though we won that one too). I showed up for the moth round early and everybody else was still in racing ships. So I raced them anyway.

Turns out you can't really dodge jackhammers when you're in a tube. :)

Sounds like it was fun. I wish I could've made it.

EDIT: Nice flying, yoda. :-P
Nov 13, 2010 abortretryfail link
heh yeah we probably should have done 3 moths with 1 gunner each.
Nov 13, 2010 CrazySpence link
Good news Rin. When i imported the video into iMovie the part where you kill everyone actually made it in. I'm almost done making the highlight reel :)
