Run rabbit, run! Dig that (black) hole, forget the sun!
All right CMDRs, got some star pips to hand out here and a few more brave souls setting course for the Big A*!
We have the dyanamic duo of Cheron and Niamhea finishing appropriately enough one after the other in Cheron's Asp
Cleopatra, followed by Niamhea's Cobra
Meretseger. Though in their Sag A* selfie, they both showed up wearing the same outfit, which is either hugely awkward or marks them as a couple... Right behind them, CMDR Masoboshi finished his split-day venture to claim the coveted star pip! Congrats to all three! Now... enjoy a nice leisurely flight home.
On the unofficial board, CMDR Taraku Minari completed his jaunt to Sadge in the Asp
Dawnbringer in a not-too-shabby time just hair over a standard terran day. What do you say, Taraku? Now that you've got the route down, wanna try for the * pip?
Taking to the black we have CMDR Khol's Asp
WA*sted DA*ys and CMDR Bllicosus's canary yellow
Sun Runner. Assuming Bellicosus finishes the journey, and there's no reason to think otherwise, he'll have the first Eagle up on the Leaderboard and possibly the first Eagle at Sag A*. Does anybody else know of an Eagle making the trip? Anyone? We'll have to wait and see. Good luck to both of them.
Warming up in the staging area, welcome back CMDR Rusticolus who was on the board but got bumped when Bucky accidentally hid his row, but is now back in action in the Lakon-6
Euphemia. CMDR Halo Jones also steps up in the Hauler
Spirit of the Hoop. We've had several Haulers report to make the run, but so far none have made it. Jones, the top Hauler spot could be yours in a few short(ish) hours!
And a big welcome back to 3-time Buckyball vet Mark "Insane" Photon who intends to put his callsign to the test, flinging his Asp
Void Insurance toward the middle. Good luck, Photon, and welcome back!
And finally... Is this right? This isn't a copy-paste error is it? No?
sigh... CMDR Anuranium has apparently swapped out the fuzzy dice and changed out the air freshener in the
Gjallarhorn to make his
third Run on Sag A*. Really, Anuranium... This is just starting to reek of desperation. You'll
never beat Alot's time. And if you do, he'll just run again. The
last thing any of us want to see is you two battling it out over and over in an endless 52,000 light year struggle to come in first.
(Chuckle, chortle, snicker... Gather around everyone, watch this! This could be EPIC!!!)
And there it is. Today's Big Board. Gonna end this with a plug. I put Radio Sidewinder's logo to fill up some empty space on the Big Board but on my way out to Sag A* I gave it a good listen. All I can say is that if you're not tuning in to RS, you're missing out.
Give it a listen, head over to the site and register, tell 'em what a good job they're doing. It's this kind of stuff that makes this game live!
Man there are a lot of messages I want to reply to. (Especially FoxTwo. Always come in last do I? I guess it's not considered libel if it's true.
)
