Mektoub Racing in Matis Arena

Post by vinnyq »

Ok, I am going to start taking sign up for a Mektoub Race, I need at least 2 racers ( :P ), but the more the better.

The deadline to signup for the race is Saturday May 28th, 2005.

The actually date of the race is set to Saturday June 4th, 2005 20:00 BST (3PM Eastern U.S.).

To enter the race, you must submit here, PM me here, or send me a tell/email ingame ("Fyrx", not "Fryx"!) the following.

Name of Racer:
Civilization:
Graphic Card:
CPU:
RAM:

Once I have a list all the racers, I'll post their stats here. Then all players can start placing bets (again by pm'ing or sending me tell/email ingame). I'll stop taking bets the day before the race.

The Race

The race will start with the racers on foot standing just outside the arena.

Their mounts will be parked inside the arena at the far end, at their choosing, but mounts must be right against the far wall.

When the race start, the players must first emote something at the ref (me), then race on foot to their mount. Once they reached their mount, they must get on, then ride out and around the outer-upper ring of the arena, counter clockwise starting from arena entrance.

The racers will make one lap around the outer ring, then reverse direction and race clockwise using the inner bottom ring, through the arena tunnel. Once they get back to the entrance, they must race back into the arena and find me, then dismount and emote something at me.

The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd person to emote at me after making the 2 laps will be the winners.

All skills (including speed up, invuln, self heal, etc) are allowed to be used. Players will be allowed to attack other players if attackable, and if they choose to (instead of trying to get ahead). There will be a team of ressers on hand to res fallen racers. Racers may not attack this team of ressers.

A racer will be disqualified for the following:

- if he failed to emote to me in the start of the race
- if he failed to make 1 complete lap counter-clockwise (right to left) on the outer ring
- if he failed to make 1 complete lap clockwise (left to right) of the inner ring
- if he failed to emote at me after making the 2 laps
- if he killed a resser

I welcome any comments or problems you might see with this.

good grief, all right.

I forgot this bit :P

If you race, you automatically get 50k (to cover food and your time).

Further more, winner of the race will get 500k.

2nd place get 100k.

3rd place get another 50K.

cool?

Do you have to dismount then emote at the end? Or can you do them both at the same time? *cough*macro*cough* :p

I don't think you can emote while you're mounted, game engine won't let you. Can someone confirm?

As to macro, well, I'll let pple use it as part of the strategy if they wish to :)

No one wants to race? I only need about a handful of racers. 2 to 5 would probably be ideal.

Looks like I'll have to actively pester a few people in game. So here's a fair warning, you might be on my victim list!

Alrite Thom! I am going to hold you to your words.

My mount is already parked in one of the balcony area in the Arena, see if you can get your own mount there ;)
