MSR - Athena Spaceport TP Run #4 - 092609

[MindStar9]

(Graphic Artist: The-Onciest)
SATURDAY - SEP 26th - 21:00 IN-WORLD TIME​

MindStar Radio (MSR) is holding its 4th Athena Spaceport TP Run this Saturday at 21:00 in-world time, and is a weekly event. We are also supporting the efforts of the Participant PA Guides to help new players acquire the East Scylla Mountain TP in order to be able to join an Athena Spaceport TP Run.

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 runs (check below).

We will meet Saturday at 21:00 in-world time at the East Scylla Mountains TP 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 of the Athena Spaceport city 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.

HERE ARE THE RULES:

• You must be a member of the TP run group to be eligible
• Names of each member present on the trip will be recorded
• You are allowed to post as many photos as you like
• Photos must be taken at Athena Spaceport
• All photos must have a clear screen (no dashboard/icons)

The following screen shot points out in red outline how to achieve a clear screen through utilizing the keyboard mapping function in-world and placing the appropriate icons from your Action Library onto your keyboard.

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 will be updated in the original 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. Upbeat music will be played to keep the energy high during our trek to the Athena Spaceport, and each participant is invited to submit their own selections to be included on the playlist.

Each 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 this thread and include full artist name and song title prior to the start of each TP run.

SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY

YEAH ... always nice to have you along ... and enjoyed your participation in our crazy-ass chat banter this last weekend after the TP runs while we played in the "Adult" kiddie pool.

 

[MindStar9]

Big ... B-U-M-P ... for Saturday's TP run ... we will be gathering up some new players at PA between now and the time of the event to help get them the East Scylla Mtn TP so that they can join us. The Athena Spaceport TP run with a large group is quite the adventure, so join us for some fun, even if you have the TP already ... you can play a role in security to make sure everyone stays together on the run. You can access the threads to previous Athena Spaceport TP runs here, along with other MSR events.

See you Saturday

[Thorfin Thor]

Hell, if I can pry my eyes open for this, after the week I've had, I should be able to make this one.

I look forward to some random fun and mayhem, ummm, maybe I need more sleep.

[DavinFelth]

dumb luck

I just happen to log on, talk to a friend about Athena and said he was in the middle of a run there. I booked it to a TP and waited to join. It was great! Somewhere I've always wanted to get! Thanks Mindstar and everyone else. I'll have to do it again.

Anyhow: here is my pic for the screenshot contest. It's a little different, but thought it summed up a lot about the run!

[MindStar9]

Great photos techmort (Jean-Luc) ... glad you were able to join us for the run to Athena and the other TP's. Check in with us on Sunday as well ... my partner Twitchie has his show at 18:00 in-world time and we will probably be running newbies out of PA again. Then my Flashback Oldies show is after his at 21:00 in-world time, and I may continue the TP runs, or have more fun at Corinth Beach ... we're so spontaneous!

 

[Aegyen]

Another absolutely good time, just cant miss a walkabout..

One for the record:



Where do you put trash?.. In a hole, of course..

 

[MindStar9]

Just amazing ... we may do the same runs every week, but that's where the familiarity ends, and the uniqueness of those who join us begins. Each week produces memorable experiences that brings the community together in ways that embraces a special spirit that is Entropia.

To start with ... we ran some new Calypso citizens out of Port Atlantis to Swamp Camp, then Billy's to meet up with a few people, then to Orthos, through Chugs Hideout, and an outpost or two on the way to East Scylla Mountain TP where we met up with the rest of the crew who were waiting on us to arrive to begin the 4th MSR Athena Spaceport TP Run. I captured a few special shots along the way ...

Radar of TP run ...

Then ... we met up with those waiting at the East Scylla Mountain TP to start our Athena Spaceport TP Run. We also included the Eos and Boreas TP's after getting Athena to give our new citizens the exciting experience of free-falling off the platforms. I am working on a video of our escapades, but here are a few photos ...

Waiting at the East Scylla Mountain TP to start the run ... and the radar after we started ...

A stop along the way to let others catch up ...

Another stop ... on the road heading up to Athena ... the purple shirt avatars are actually new citizens that one of our Participant PA Guides (Faye ranpha) worked with, and the shirts are actually from FPC for the run ... I think there might have been one or two more, but we were waiting for people to catch up ...

Some shots, you just can't miss ...

[br]Click to enlarge[/br]

With the one route we take ... we stop at this tower for a photo shot prior to traveling up the ramp to the upper level where the TP is ...

[br]Click to enlarge[/br]

Mission accomplished ... we reached the Athena Spaceport TP, and everyone's glow sticks (TT sword) lit the place up nicely. MSR gives out the glow sticks to those who don't have one or can't afford to get one. It makes for quite the firefly trail during the night cycle ...

[br]Click to enlarge[/br]

A shot of a few of us ... prior to leaping from an East platform at Athena to make our run to the Boreas TP ...

[br]Click to enlarge[/br]

Once again ... I can't thank our regular MSR supporters enough for their consistent help with these TP runs ... both the regular ones, as well as this weekly Athena Spaceport TP run. They are truly the MSR Honor Guard ... and work efficiently to keep everyone together. Yes, we run into a glitch now and then, but it's only expected. Hopefully, those who had to either leave, or had computer issues will join us next week to complete their run.

You can ... check our schedule ... or our MSR Events List to find out what's going on during any given week. We will be adding more events, and additional programming soon, so check back periodically.

Another great run under our belts ... thank you to all who participated ... and we wish our new Calypso citizens great success in their Entropia experiences. If MSR can help in any way, please let us know.

In the meantime ... Monday is going to be the day I catch up on creating my videos, unless I can get to one or two of them before then. I got some great footage on this run, and can't wait to put it together.

Till next time!
