damn, I'm late?

Please put me on the wait list... I will race if there is a new group or no shows =)

drazed, ITAN council

I too vote for 21:00 GMT, better known as 13:00 PST.

C. Gorky

P.S. To help out on registrants, WarSong is just that in VO space. No difference between his board name and space handle.

I hereby nominate myself as MC. I should be free. If anything comes up I'll try and find a replacement.

I also vote for the 0:00GMT timeslot.

So, this brings the MC total to four, and the total participant allowance to 28? Jex?

I'm technically pre-registered, so I needed a replacement MC. Martin will be the third MC. (Unless I can get someone else from Sigma to MC, in which case, yes, there should be four MCs.)

What Miharu said. Anyway,

Third Update

Pre-registration is closed. The only way more racers can be allowed is if we find a fourth 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, WarSong, Riyusone Haro.

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

incredibleweirdo

Racers not pre-registered but on the waiting list:

drazed

Joyce is the MC for CDC, Martin for Teh Pirates, Ecka for TGFT.
Martin replaces Miharu who now races, and we still have just three MCs. Miharu, you should still try to get someone from Sigma saddled with- I mean, to accept the honor of MCing this landmark event.

Three timeslots for the Run have been proposed so far:

20:00 GMT
21:00 GMT, with three votes
00:00 GMT, with two votes

We have one voided vote.

Hmm... it's only logical that MCs are also allowed to vote, so sixteen people (including me, who will do it later) have yet to vote.

I just got another couple of ideas:

I'm hereby requesting an ingame cameraman, to film the final dockings; the start won't be anything espectacular, even with 21 players.

I'd also appreciate it, much, if we could get a Guide to render the MCs and the cameraman immune to enemy fire, so there's little chance of disruption, whether accidental or otherwise.

Yeah, I have two people who I've gotten a "maybe" out of as far as MCing goes, I'll get final answers from them by the end of the weekend. If neither of them can do it, I might have someone else I might be able to "saddle" with the job, so to speak.

I'll need a custom-made bridle, though. Won't look right with just the saddle.

In-game name unknown? In my post I believe I said "Ashur Alnagi wishes to preregister for this run."

A.

I would like to be the camera man.
Are we talking camera shots with no HUD, or shots with a HUD that identifies the ship that lands?
EDIT: Damn, i'm jinxed.

Hey what time is this CST? And what day and all, I don't wanna miss my payday.

EDIT: Jinx, SilentWave!

SilentWave, you can turn off all HUD elements but target info, and that way you can record their arrival with an uncluttered screen as possible, while still showing who you're following.

I think people should be tested to see if they can convert time across the zones, before they can be allowed to get on the Web.

THIRD UPDATE

Pre-registration is closed. The only way more racers can be allowed is if we find a fourth MC.

Joyce is the MC for CDC, Martin for Teh Pirates, Ecka for TGFT.
Miharu says she still can get a fourth MC for CDC though it's technically not needed at all. If so, prizes will rise; stay tuned.

Three timeslots for the Run have been proposed so far:

21:00 GMT, with three votes
00:00 GMT, with two votes
20:00 GMT, with one vote

The date is July 7th. We have six votes cast, and one void. 17 people have yet to vote.

SilentWave is offering to be our cameraman, who'd film the pilots docking. I'm thinking another cameraman could be useful, in case two pilots attempt to dock at the same time.

We'd still love to have a Guide to render the MCs and the cameramen immune to enemy fire, and stave off possible disruption around them.

Provided that I don't get bogged down with work. Count me in!

I might bring out ye ole' Holden Caulfield for this too (but I will have to relevel him ugh).

Roving reporter???

Don't forget, it's in two weeks. We still need the time slot votes.

Hmm. Maybe I should be the Roving Reporter again :).

FOURTH UPDATE

drazed, softy2

Joyce is the MC for CDC, Martin for Teh Pirates, Ecka for TGFT.

Elections for the timeslot are now closed. The chosen time is: 21:00 GMT (14:00 PDT, 17:00 EDT)

SilentWave is offering to be our cameraman, who'd film the pilots docking. I'd still love to have a second cameraman.

We'd still love to have a Guide to render the MCs and the cameramen immune to enemy fire, and stave off possible disruption around them.

I'm yielding my spot in this race to drazed or softy, first one who posts to get it.

It's been fun.

No, drazed gets it, he called it first.

Huh? Blue Streak, the recordman racer of DR, retires from the competition? :O

Why???

Please, reconsider. It wouldn't be the same event without you!

In character, his story has just moved on. Settling into planet life and all that, terrorizing another race circuit closer to home.

Out of character, I work night shifts now. 3pm Eastern is halfway through my sleep time.
