Tube Racing event: Gauging Interest

12»
Nov 15, 2006 Apex link
I am interested in hosting a Tube racing event in the near future.

The event would likely last about 4 hours, and I would prefer to do it on a Saturday, either in the afternoon or in the evening.

[edit]: Depending on the number of people interested, I may need to do tournament ladder styled, week-by-week qualifying races, to narrow down the numbers to about 5-6 racers per run.

The format would be almost exactly like what I created 2 years ago with VRL "Vendetta-Racing-League"

I need to make sure I have enough people interested in this who will actually attend the event, and if so; how many, so I can figure what kind of logistic work I need to do before race day.

Please post here if you are SERIOUSLY interested in participating and/or contributing to the event.

Head-to-Head tube racing is some of the best fun I've had in VO, and I'd like to revisit it at least just once.

I declare interest!
However I almost NEVER have 4 hours of unfragmented free time.

The first VRL event only lasted about 2-3 hours, though I'd prefer to keep a 4 hour window for potential hold-ups.

I thought it was close to one...

Anyway, I'd probably come back just to say "Hey!" to you...

/me defrags iry's schedule

There. Now you don't get to sleep monady through wednesday, but have the rest of the week free.

I have saturdays free as default, interrupted by the occasional RL get-together or game tournament. I express interest.

Tube racing is awesome...

My claim to fame is racing against a1k0n in busses during the last VRL event.

I also can't promise 4 hours but I would definitely be interested in another event. Saturday's good.

I'm interested, but I'm not sure what my schedule will be like, so I might not be able to make it. I'll try and empty out some time on Saturday for it, though.

Omega 0 is interested.

Anything I try to turn up for recently has ended up with a no-show, but I would be interested.

*Bump*

C'mon guys, I'm looking for at least 12 people just to show some interest in regular racing events. Please reply if you're interested.

I love racing. But, not so much the tubes. Maybe if I just TRIED it more I'd like it.

But, probably not.

What the hell, I'm in.

I hereby express an interest in slaughtering you all in the tubes.

So shall it be!
Nov 16, 2006 Apex link
Lecter, if I can kick this off and keep it going, Combat races will start and you'll be able to slaughter other people in races all you want.

/me will be there.
Nov 16, 2006 Dr. Lecter link
Um, Apex... I was neither asking for your permission nor suggesting that I be a "combat racer." See you soon.

Ta,

Dr. Lecter

I would hope you'd have decency to respect player-driven events, Lecter.

Malicious disruption of others' good time is harassment. You know that.
Nov 16, 2006 Dr. Lecter link
There are no special, reserved zones within the VO universe, and your disruption is my play. You know that as well.

If Dr. Lecter would be so kind to be courteous, I'll give him a WE WANT LEEBS! t-shift for free.

"There are no special, reserved zones within the VO universe."

Yes, there are.
The tubes don't reside in nation space.

Hey, avoiding the good doctor will just be another added challenge. I'll see if I can get one or two other Vipers to watch over the event tho.
