    After our amazing series of races around all of New Eden, including the "Outrun the Popo" HighSec race gains us massive notoriety, we can have ~The New Eden Grand Prix~ where thousands of people will bet on the top 25 racers IN ALL OF NEW EDEN

    That sounds like beating them over the head, tying them up, placing a black bag over their heads, and shoving them into a large white van.

    Come to think of it, you could do the titan bridge to a system then just have the racers get back to the staging system.

    I would like to a game done just like the movie Running Man.

    Take a group of people in cheap ships, and have them be chases by some ~elitepvp~ guy in a cynabal or something and bet on if they kill him, which of them dies first, etc.

    Hey Grim I'm sorry man I forgot today was my best friends 21st birthday (WHOOPS) so needless to say I wasn't home and many drinks were had. I'll definitely catch up with you after work tomorrow, or possibly during if it is as fucking slow as it was today.

    To give peeps an urge to shoot one another, have there be courier contracts...strippers or something stupid and if you keep your package and someone else does not, when you get to the finish line, you got a tiebreaker.

    Maybe there should be some sort of sliding point scale. Points would be awarded for faster times, but also for most packages/courier contracts. It complicates the whole 'just race' thing, but it sounds fun.

    Oh we did this in RvB with noobships a while back. It was short (only 30 min or so) but it sure was hell as fun.

    \\Thinking about it: We actually did it a bit different: An orga dropped a container with 200 or so of the same bookmark with a location 100 off of the next container, in that was the new location etc. People werent allowed to use propmods and we only used noobships anyway (GODDAMN OP REAPERS). The way from the the BM to the container gave people an incentive to kill one another etc. was fun.

    This has been done before, rather awesomely in fact. That group is pretty much dead now, though.

    CEVE does this but slightly different. They setup elaborate three dimensional racetracks with T2 large bubbles (so you cannot warp). Imagine a really intricate Habitrail hamster home, but with bubbles and in space. Now, when I say elaborate, I mean, they primarily use Cynabals and still take 10-15 minutes to complete the race.

    Someone smart can probably go to the China version of 'Youtube' and find a video. I've seen it linked, I believe, here on Kugu.

    e: also, what are ship restrictions? Cause I'd just cloaky nulli a loki and stab / rig for agi and warp speed.

    I think that's why we're gonna stick with frigates (no bombers/cov-ops)

    I also am tempted to resub for this Death Race 2012, as this is one of the only things that could prompt me to enter back into eve!

    T1 non faction frigs to be fair.

    Of course, there are no limits on what any innocent bystanders can fly.

    Sounds like what the Bullrun rally does, but it does present a decision to the pilot: take the fastest route where the most amount of danger may be waiting? Or takea longer route to attempt to bypass gankers and such?

    Innocent bystanders in smartbombing Rokhs would be interesting.

    This needs to be expanded into the grand prix of new eden where it includes almost all of the null sec regions and each region could be a stage. Also, tossing my name into the hat if you need help Rer.

    The AT kind of overshadowed us getting this off the ground (with good reason it was fucking awesome), but Grim and I both do wanna make this happen, so stay tuned and thanks for the help fellow waffle o7o7
