Sounds pretty interresting, though you should have posted this in the "In-Game Roleplay Events"- Subboard

[Earthling]

I know, but that said events made by the GMs and I am not a GM

[Astraea]

Sounds fun, can't wait to find about the time. If I can, I'll be there.

hmm it's not good to make a race which includes passing loading points... it gives others a certain advantage, specially thoose with a good computer who can load all maps and keep them loaded for not having the loading screen

[Rerogo]

They could run it like the Tour de  France, where it is a series of race from loading point to loading point, and they declare whomever wins more the winner.

Moved to In-Game Events. The loading points will favor those with faster systems - I'm not too fond of this part. This should be IC as much as possible.

[Earthling]

I also though of the way that the better your computer is the better you will do. I'll put some thought in a way to get around this. Thanks for moving it!

[Karyuu]

Rerogo offered a nice solution, though :} Race from loading point to loading point, keeping track of who arrives first/second/third/etc. - once one loading point is passed by everyone, start the race again - and whoever reaches the most loading points, would pretty much win the race.

LARAGORN starts running on the spot

depending on who will be joining this race i think it might go get a bt confusing to thoose organizing it

[Karyuu]

Why? :x Race to one loading point - keep track of the winners, cross loading point all together, wait for everyone to make it, race again to the next loading point, etc. Seems fairly simple.

I'd participate but I lag bad enough running from Oja to Hydlaa, but in a huge 100 person group running from wherever to wherever I'd freeze and end up dead last. =/

[Mordaan]

With potentially 100 racers I can only imagine the lag.     But since everybody basically runs at the same speed, that will only make it more interesting.  Sounds like fun just to be a part of it and enjoy the site.  Thanks for organizing, I hope I can make it.

You will still get a prize for joining in!
