Laudanum's sponsors NEVERDIE 500 -- A new player oriented opportunity to win big!

NEVERDIE 500 - The Newbies Chance to Win Big is a newbie oriented circuit race around the track at Club NEVERDIE. Its oriented towards the newer player, giving them a chance to have some fun at no cost to them, with the potential to get Global / Mini Global value prizes that help them get started on the Island.

Laudanum society has picked up 8 Valkyrie MK1's for this event. Currently theyre all the same color, but we want to get them painted all sorts of different colors for the new folks to enjoy.

We will call out the race over the Next Island Public Chat, so people can get a live sense of actually being at the race track, and checkpoints will be set up where people will pass us data on who is coming through when.

Gas will be provided, 8 cars will be provided, and new players will get to sign up here on these forums to participate. This event will be formally opened when Next Island opens. To prepare we need people willing to scan the attributes of contestants to make sure they are new players, we need people who will hang out at checkpoints, and of course we need a few judges in case of a photo finish who can take screenshots.

I will be acting as a reporter throughout the event, keeping tabs on the race and broadcasting it live.

Prizes will be 50 PED for the winner, 30 PED for 2nd place, and 20 PED for 3rd place. Everyone regardless of winning will get to have fun!

For more info on this event PM me here.

 

Sweet! Thanks Enzo. Im gonna do a consensus with a group of veterans to determine what is an acceptable way to determine who is a newbie and who is not. We have a little bit of time to get this settled. When it is I will post the qualifier here on this thread.

 

Corey Greyfox just donated 100 PED to double the prize amounts for this event. All prizes are doubled for first, second, and third place.

Thanks Corey!

 

So I guess the official launch was on the 28th --- according to interviews in ET. I wasnt aware the product had left beta stages, but I am a rather busy person lately so its possible I simply missed the announcement. Anyone feel I should host this race ASAP, or should I wait until Greece is resolved?

I leave it up to you all. Post your feedback here.

Weekend after next works for me. I'll draw up a flyer and let my soc know so we can coordinate checkpoints along the raceway.

 

Noted, and youre probably right. I'd like to go over some rules with folks. Enzo, Corey would you guys be willing to chat about this over PM and help me come up with some basic rules that are fair to everyone?

....

A date will be announced -- one that does not conflict with real life. Let's leave it at that.

 

Volunteers needed. I put this event far ahead so we could organize the volunteer pool for people who are interested in helping make this event happen.

PM me if that is you.

 

Haha yeah sure. Do we have flags in EU? You can be the sparkler girl :-)
