Community Event / Creation The Buckyball Run 10: Coming May 28

Hi chaps looking forward to this, but am I missing something or do you release the course details on the start date.
Anyway fly safe chaps:D[arrrr]

Race details are usually put up immediately before the race start... Look forward to flying with you - and hopefully not into you - over the coming days :D

You've got a whole day before you leave, and assuming it's actually a week you're away for, probably a whole day on the other side too! Get on it :p

Looks like I'm going to be bringing Cortana for the little X - guns and all - and I suppose Haulin' A* is pretty much obligated to show for the Hauler Challenge now!

Ahhh the Haulin' A*, a Buckbyall classic. How many light years does she have on the odometer now?

Esvandiary speaks the truth. The race course is kept in a specially constructed secure vault to prevent any pre-race collusion or preparations that might tip off law enforcement and allow them to shut us down, or upset the oddsmakers and bookies who count on a clean, fair race. That and sometimes I put things off until the last minute. Sometimes.

I expect to put the race thread up sometime on Friday game time, with the actual race kicking off at 00:00 Galactic Standard Time on the 18th. (Real world, though, I just learned I've got to be putting in some serious work this weekend but as long as I get the thread posted on time we should be good to go.)

Had a lunchbreak. Tested it. Something must be wrong because it seems to work.

It did...? I mean, of course it did, duh. That's how I roll... I do appreciate the smoke test, though. Thanks Alec!

Well Aken if you can get a run in on the first day the board (and the race dot!) will be waiting for you!

Nah, that just means it added an extra "1:" in front of your time before putting it on the Big Board. It's all good. :p

That would be petty and childish, Rankaze. I would never sink to such a level. But that poor ol' leaderboard suuuuure is prone to malfunction...

Let's see... ~26000×3 + (whatever the distance on BBR9 was) x 2 + partial practice runs + assorted side trips... gotta be getting close to 100k by now. Of course, she's a thoroughly pampered hangar queen between races, but with all that heat damage and repairs from the same, probably only the starframe and cockpit instruments are original at this point.

Wait, no, she's well past that. I forgot about flying back home!

The race dot! :eek: I completely forgot about that! If the little X will count for it as well, I could try to squeeze a "I was there" kind of attempt on Saturday evening...that is, if I find some spare time between packing my things up, review the route plan for Sunday's trip, do some last minute car inspection to check that it's still (mostly) in one piece, pray the Old and New Gods that it will stay that way for a week more at least...
