Cool, since I'm not on Doc's kill-list, count me in. TripleJ, Go ahead and make out that 1st-place winning 60 million check to LeberMac, c/o Coalition of ITAN, Divinia M-14.

I'll pick it up July 7th. :P

Ah... now this is getting interesting!

Norseman, pirates get prizes as usual, so depending on the amount of racers, you'll have your work cut out for you. Notice Lecter is offering extra cash, and remember that Spock used to do it, too. Maybe give him a call? Also, with the prizes involved, it might be worth it for pirates to actually group up to try for a prize and then split it.

Of course, the same goes for the racers. They could hire people to shoot other racers or just keep the pirates busy.

I'm not anti or pro piracy during the Run, I just want this event to draw as many people as possible.

Leebs, the check is written with erasable ink in case you don't, as usual, show up :P

Ah, finally pirates will show up at DRs! Frankly, in recent times, the races went by without much thrill. I always appreciate when other players spice up the run by (trying and) shooting at racers. I think it adds up to the whole fun of the event, even when the shots are aimed at me.

And Dr. Lecter's bounty makes it all more juicy.

It will also mean that if I'm hopelessly left behind, I'd better /explode, and still earn 7M for having killed Katrina.

Sweet. :)

(Unfortunately, he will shamelessly edit or amend his own bounty offer, as usual, or find some lame excuse to sidestep the payment, should I kill myself.)

I hereby pre-register for this event.
Jun 05, 2007 jexkerome link
Okay, time for the first update.

Pre-registered racers:

Blackhole, incredibleweirdo, MR. Bean, Jestatis, Ghost, Mecha, Morgan, Mick, Katrina, Aleksey, Blue Streak, toshiro, Leebs, Riyusone, Cranston.

Miharu is also pre-registered, but she's going to MC if she can't find a replacement.

16 racers, that means three groups and maximum prizes. Five places left, people!

Joyce is the MC for CDC, Miharu the one for SSC, still, and I assume Ecka will be for TGFT. No one has volunteered to MC.

Three timeslots for the Run have been proposed so far:

20:00 GMT
21:00 GMT which has two votes
00:00 GMT

Vote or propose (but not to me), people!

Jun 07, 2007 look... no hands link
ill be there in one capicity or another, possibly both, lecter will you pay racers who kill other racers?

also if sombody finishes first then undocks and kills all the other racers how much will they collect?

If somebody were so skillful as to win first place with enough time to get into a fighter and go back out and kill everyone else, why then he'd win the total prize (60 million) plus what Lecter is giving per racer, plus the bonus for anyone on his list, plus the 100k SoR is giving to all participants who race. Note, though, that in order to claim actual DR prize money for kills, said kills must not be made in M-14.

Also, if you are planning to race, I need a definitive answer, because the event is by pre-registration. If you leave it vague and more people come and claim spots you'll be out. There are only, at the moment, just two places left.
Jun 07, 2007 look... no hands link
ok then count me in
Jun 08, 2007 toshiro link
Not to all participants who race, to all who finish. Just to eliminate any rumours.

Second Update

Pre-registration is now closed as we have 21 racers. The only way more racers can be allowed is if we find another MC!

Pre-registered racers with known ingame names:

Blackhole Goldclaw, MR. Bean, Jestatis Bess, Ghost, Mecha Touriuas, Morgan West, Surbius Bondevo, Mick, Katrina Le-Feir, Aleksey, Blue Streak, toshiro, LeberMac, Miharu, Cranston Gorky, Nautargos, look... no hands, Foo Fighter.

Pre-registered racers whose ingame names are unknown to me:

incredibleweirdo, Riyusone, WarSong

Miharu is still slated to MC if she can't find a replacement.

Joyce is the MC for CDC, Miharu for SSC, Ecka for TGFT. No one has volunteered to MC.

Three timeslots for the Run have been proposed so far:

20:00 GMT
21:00 GMT which has two votes
00:00 GMT

That means four people have voted out of 21; toshiro voided his vote, and so we need those other 16 to vote or propose a timeslot.
