The Boontas Eve Swoop - Sign Ups and OOC

With the new year fast approaching, I have decided to play host to a little race, in celebration of the coming year, both for SWRP and us in general! We have in the past tried swoop races before, and not to a great deal of success, so whilst this will be an OPEN thread, I will be setting out a system that we can use to play :)

The Race will take place IC on Boontas Eve, in the Nar Shaddaa race track, and I'll close sign ups on News Years Eve OOC for a nice bit of irony. So please link your character below, the faction or sponsor they are racing for and I'll add you in. Do read on for the Race and Sponsor System!

The Race System

  • This will naturally be PvP enabled, but most likely you can get out unscathed due to ejector seats or something.
  • Starting Posts: Racers will post their starting post, being on the line and then 'launching' their Swoop. They may post in bold an action that they will be taking in the race at the bottom of their post.
  • UPDATE - Posted by the OP. Random events may be thrown into the mix here. The rankings of the racers will be posted based on the starting posts quality.
  • First Lap: Racers will react to the actions of their fellow racers, and the update. They will then post about the first lap of the race, and then may post their actions in the usual way.
  • UPDATE - Posted by the OP, with a random event maybe thrown in. Rankings updated.
  • Second Lap: Racers will react to the actions of their fellow racers, and the update. They will then post about the second lap of the race, and then may post their actions in the usual way.
  • UPDATE - Posted by the OP, with a random event maybe thrown in. Rankings updated.
  • Third Lap: Racers will react to the actions of their fellow racers, and the update. They will then post about the third lap of the race, and then may post their actions in the usual way.
  • UPDATE - Posted by the OP, with a random event maybe thrown in. Rankings updated.
  • Race Close: The Race will be called by the OP!

The Sponsor System
  • PvP Disabled due to space magic.
  • Sponsors must put in 100,000.00 Peggats per racer they sponsor (4 mill credits).
  • Sponsors may PM the OP ONCE with a Sabotage Action, at any point in the race. This may or may not work depending on how the race goes.
  • Sponsors will win 'crazy dollar' if their racer wins.
Sign-Ups for Racers and Sponsors

Please do come along and sign-up below, and to start let me lay on a collection of sponsors for you. Each sponsor will bring an in game bonus you can use once in the race.

(Tagging the Duchess of Mandalore (@Proleptic) Moff Ambrose (@Darasuum) Barman Lars (@Lars Warren) as a few people who may want to Sponsor. Anyone who thinks their character could sponsor the race, just prod me on Skype or shoot me a PM.) If this gets a lot of sign ups, don't worry, I'll just split it across a few threads.

Is it possible to sponsor myself? I would like to indebt Torin to some neutral/indie PC with the credits. Don't sponsor him, lend him the credits to sponsor himself. He's good for 'em, trust me.

You have been entered, sponsored by yourself. So has your Corp!

You have been added, self sponsoring. The illustrious Nor'baal shall lend you the money.

Self sponsors: You shall not recieve a bonus, because....well....not being beholden to another is kind ofa bonus anyway.

lol Geir is sponsoring himself cuz he's so freak'n rich. i meant that DDI could sponsor someone else because they sell speeder bikes. but maybe i'll have them sponsor Geir if nobody else needs a sponsor.

I have left it open for now, I'll assign DDI to Geir if nobody else wants them :)

That sounded really mean.
I shall assign them to Geir should the occasion call for it.

I'd be interested with Zekk (in Sig) but he isn't much for sponsors. Unsure how that would work.

So sponsors win crazy dollar, but even first place only takes home an additional 20k peggats/800k credits for a 4 mil credit bet.

Proper high risk, low reward, isn't it? ;-)

My character Versio is a swoop racer so it'll be hard for him to pass on this. I'd like to throw him in.
