Also I wanted to add this in as well but forgot, but couldn't find edit: IF you want you want sign up, please indicate so with reply here or talk to me in game(i'm mostly in celeste quarry).
June 2nd is sunday, so count me in. Just a though, who will observe if we don`t take shortcuts, go out of track etc... Someone must fly sleipnir or quad above the racers to observe the situation. Great idea
You're our first participant! And yes I've ran through the track and noticed not many possible ways for someone to cheat, but I'll try to find some people to help me to prevent that. The format of the races are that a certain amount of people run at a time, so hopefully anyone that isn't running yet can help me keep an eagle eye on each part of the tracks.
Count me in too and btw there was one race event - 01.10.2012: http://entropiatransport.com/2012/10/01/racing-event/ and the solution for "fair race" is to put a second person on Valkyrie T1 (judges), but using sleipnir or quad flying above is good too .... and one more think that was a "problem" ... how to make the drivers to start at the same time, I mean ... you count 3->2-> and befor you say 1 some of the drivers already run but I think and hope that with honest people everything will be OK With best regards OLD NICK
Yes OLD NICK, that is a very good point. What I am planning to do to lower the chance of that happening is have the contestants follow another vehicle as they slowly approach the starting line. Once the head vehicle passes the starting line, everyone is off. Following the head vehicle can help prevent anyone rushing thru and if someone does do it before the vehicle is past, then they'll have to head back as the vehicle stops.
We raced this past weekend and it was so much fun! Come to our race this weekend, too. I bought my own vehicle so I can customize my racer EDIT: Forgot to add that our race is on 6/2 at 16 MA time! Everyone is welcome, don't miss out! I made some money last time coming in 3rd.
Yesterday i took a drive around the tracks. Looking forward to june 2nd. Its gonna be so much fun, just hope it won`t be night on Ark, i love the daytime. Dark is really dark, and lights on vehicles are not working at all, no illumination on the road. Or maybe its my graphics, i don`t know. I run game on 1 Mbit/s, low graphics setting. Does any of you have illumination from vehicle head lights during dark?
Good job Fallie but have you made like an Event Announcement?? I'd love to join in on all the fun but can't grasp the in game time.
