EVERY SATURDAY - 21:00 IN-WORLD TIME
MindStar Radio (MSR) experienced a very successful launch of the first Athena Spaceport TP Run on Saturday, September 5th with close to 40 people in attendance.
Our goal is to work in partnership with the new Participant Port Atlantis Guides in an effort to get new Entropians the East Scylla Mountains TP so that they can join our runs to the Athena Spaceport city and acquire perhaps one of the most sought after teleporters on Calypso. We will also assist in whatever other way we can toward helping the Guides lead new Entropians to other teleporters as well.
This event is open to everyone who either needs the Athena Spaceport TP, or who already have it but would like to join us in the run to help support the effort, and shield those who are less protected ... not to mention all the fun we have along the way. It's a long but adventurous run, and the scenery is just breathtaking. And speaking of scenery ... there is also a photo contest associated with each one of these event runs (check below).
We will meet each Saturday at 21:00 in-world time at East Scylla Mountains where we will begin our trip. Be prepared to spend a good deal of time on this journey, because it is a long trek with mob encounters along the way, but this will make it an interesting adventure.
PHOTO CONTEST
After reaching our destination at the Athena Spaceport, the group trip will end, and everyone will be on their own to explore this incredible city. During your exploration, be sure to capture photos and select your most unique and/or breathtaking view to submit as an entry into the photo contest. There will be one single winner, and determining that winner will be done in a very unique way (see below). The prize for each photo contest is 100 PED.

CHOOSING A WINNER
The winner of each Athena Spaceport TP Run Photo Contest will be chosen using the EuroMillions Draw method. Everyone's eye through the camera lens is subjective, and therefore, worthy of merit for effort and personal composition and creativity.
HERE'S HOW THE DRAW METHOD WORKS:
• Based on EuroMillions Lotto
• Every Friday, this lottery generates 5 numbers
.....+ 2 lucky star numbers
• These 7 numbers (with the zeros removed from the lucky star
.....numbers) that are posted at the lotto site the Friday after
.....each photo contest will be used to determine the winner
• The “Modulo” mathematical function will be used to calculate the
.....winning number … you can find information about this
.....function here.
• A number will be assigned to each photo in the order posted
.....beginning with the number zero
• Each entrant’s name, along with Designated Number (DN) will be
.....added/updated in the second post
• As an example: if there are 25 entries, and the EuroMillion numbers
.....the following Friday after the photo contest are …
.....9 – 14 – 19 – 21 – 34, with the star numbers being 05 and 07
.....the zeros would be removed from the 05 and 07 and the number
.....used with the Modulo function would be: 91419213457 …
.....and the winning photo entry number would then be: 7
• You can test this formula out yourself by activating your
..... Windows calculator (Start -> Programs -> Accessories ->
..... Calculator) … enter 91419213457, click on the “Mod” key,
..... then enter 25 and press the equal symbol
..... … and Voila!!

LIVE COVERAGE
Each Athena Spaceport TP run will be broadcast live on MindStar Radio (MSR), and the names of all participants will be mentioned on-air prior to the start of the TP run. Upbeat music will be played to keep the energy high during our trek to the Athena Spaceport, and participants are invited to submit their own selections to be included on the playlist in each respective event thread.
Submitted selection will be reviewed to make sure that it is in compliance with standards set not only by MSR, but the EULA and our radio station host as well. Post all song requests in each separate TP trip thread and include full artist name and song title prior to the start of each road trip.
SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY
