Aeldon Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Dates: Tuesday night, weekly Time: 9pm EST Organizer: Joro, Republic Trooper Official Sponsors: Dead Star Company Seelund Trading Company Location: The start of the track is the stone arch in the western area of the Jundland Wastes, between Outpost Salara and Dreviad Outpost. 400, -1680. The path follows these coordinates: 600, -2050; 1170, -1685; 1400, -850; 1215, -100 Description: Come on out to Jung Ma's only weekly event, the Jundland Swoop Race on Tatooine! This good old fashioned race is open to both factions and anyone with a speeder is free to join. There is no entry fee to race; all you need is a 90% speeder and to be there. Faster speeders are forbidden in this race, so that anyone with a speeder can participate. As I said, this is an event open to both factions on Tatooine. Combat between players and racers is strictly forbidden. Accidents happen (especially with the local Mandalorians needing to be cleaned up) but if a player is deliberately griefing players of the opposing faction, they will be opened to attack, and banned from my Race. This is not some Hutt-sponsored Pod Race. This race is currently funded out of my own pocket, as well as through generous donations from our sponsors. The first place winner walks away with 100,000 credits. Second place walks away with 50,000 credits, and third place 25,000 credits. Guards and people who assist with the race (act as waypoints, watch the finish line, etc.) will receive 10,000 credits for their assistance.

NewObsidian Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is pretty cool idea. I'll look around for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miles Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 I hear that Joro guy is way too rich. Everyone should show up so he has to give more of his money away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luniara Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 You guys should make a little route map on top of the Tattoine map. That would be sweeeet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kontraz Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 This was a lot of fun to attend and I recommend others check it out. If I might add one suggestion? I think there should be an organized betting system (nothing too expensive, just for fun) where odds are determined based on the winners of the previous weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there should be an organized betting system (nothing too expensive, just for fun) where odds are determined based on the winners of the previous weeks We've actually discussed betting for another weekly event that we're planning on bringing to Jung Ma, but the problem [as I've been told] is that gambling violates one of the user agreements. Inter-personal betting is fine, but once you add structure and more than two people, you enter a gray zone you would be better off avoiding. -Kylain Achaius, Dead Star Company Imperial Commander Edited October 5, 2012 by ApolloBound Clarification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
