Hi everyone. I doubt very many of you have seen me in game. My Avatar is new, but once upon a time I played as a different Avatar and when i did that I ran a racing ring briefly when cars were brand new. I feel the tug to start the business again and see if I can make it work. What I am asking all of you is are you interested? This is a public event and spectating is free. Many races would be free and just for fun, but what I used to do was have a few of them where you paid to race and the winner took the majority of the pot. My service was secure betting I suppose. It was pointless for me to steal the pot from one race because without trust then I don't have a business anymore. I thought of a few fun races. Death defying low altitude Quad racing is my current favourite idea. I'd have to start the races with people bringing their own vehicles, but if I was met with success I'd probably try and get a range of vehicles for noobs to race or people to race without caring if they crash. (I'd still prefer they didn't ) Anyways what do you all think? Suggestions? Interested?
Ages back thought about holding a multi stage rally, could chat to you about way we thought about doing it etc. Would give imput and help i can (time more limited these days). Am on UK GMT time, on most evenings (gf limiting ). Hit me up on player register. Dibbler
Thanks for the info guys and Dibbler I'll send you a message when I get on next, but got work this afternoon so that will be awhile. Keep 'em coming everyone, I wanna know what you all like, even a "sounds good" is nice to hear.
I agree, underground would rock... With all of those little tunnels between the sections it'd be great check points. Also, since space is pvp and all of that... could make for some interesting potential... Get several motherships involved. A universe wide thing scavanger hunt involving every planet could be interesting... using the item info screens as proof of the items, etc. Have the scattered at certain x, y, z coordinates (talke to oberon nightseer and other ninjas out there), use apartment balconies where the puzzles have to be solved to figure out the floor and of which building and planet, etc. Something like a universe wide cannonball run... Something for a bit of inspiration that Mindark did many years ago might be the whole Marika thing... http://entropiarelated.wordpress.com/2013/01/21/marika-and-entropia/ Get multiple planet partners involved, and/or a lot of participants like was done with WOF and you could potentially go to a grand scale...
the races on the racetrack can be very fun (btw there was some:http://arkadiaforum.com/showthread.php?8829-Arkadia-Team-Race-2) you need only several people to be "spoters" to watch someone not "cut" the track and making races in the underground looks even more fun and easy, as you can't use flying vehicles or "cut" the track (it can be something like you start in the upper left corner on the map and finish on the bottom right corner) so if and when you going to organize some races ... call me ... I will be happy to help and participate in the races (my avatar name: THE OLD NICK) With best regards OLD NICK
Alright I'll do it, I'll put together something. Might be a little while before I set up the first one. The first few will likely also be on the simpler side, just to get my feet wet. If all goes well I'll set up some specialty races and such. Like the scavenger hunts previously mentioned.
That would be a great differential on Ark's events. Good willing people always get you to hunt. A good race would be good to last at least 3 days. Since we have so many timezones you could do time count like from quarry to celeste outpost races with each player leaving in interval of 5 minutes and calculate time he got to reach waypoint. Each day all players start where they ended the day before like a real rally. In the end if someone is willing to sponsor the event best time wins some prize like from oil or some vehicle.
So if anyone has any ideas for race locations on Arkadia, post them. I've got Underground covered. But I need some places in the overworld. Preferably something that can be used as a lap race. (Looping or whatever) Can I get people's ideal time for doing this, day and hour. Please include timezone or convert to GMT -5. If you would like to volunteer for the event send me a PM here or in Entropia. My in game name is Mentak Rickshaw Tem. Volunteers may be eligible for rewards if enough money is made during an event to cover it, no guarantees though, I don't expect this to have a lot of turnover. Sponsors, if you would like to sponsor an event. Whether in name, funding, prizes, etc. Please PM me in the ways previously mentioned.
There is the good old race track already there waiting to be used ? and has the posium and things there already. But another race route could also be the need to go from the supply depot to Celest Harbour - also see if you can get marshals on the route some where that you have to go past if there in possition then they can give there locations in to a chat chanel so that way points can be added to the map's then have a blast along. shame the quarry has a ban on vehicles ;( would be a blast to see how many race participants we could get ripping through there. Sign me up for some of this fun
