MSR-Twin Peaks Road Trip-091909
(Graphic Artist - The-Onciest)
Saturday – Sep 19th – 16:30 In-World Time
The MindStar Radio (MSR) road trips take place every other Saturday. Come join us in an adventure with no specific destination in mind, other than to explore our universe. This week's road trip will follow a road leading out of Twin Peaks. There may be forks in the road along the way, and it will be a majority vote as to which direction we explore. The unknown is what will make the road trip interesting and unique, not to mention an opportunity to introduce ourselves to the redesign of our planet after the CryEngine2 implementation. There is much to see, and plenty of fun to be had, especially with those along whose creativity knows no limits.
We will meet at the Twin Peaks teleporter at the designated time. The road trip will consist of following a path to wherever it leads us, and encountering whatever the wild presents to us along the way. It is anticipated that the road trip will last at least a couple of hours, as our goal is not to take a direct course to another city (although we may pass one along the way), but to explore Calypso and familiarize ourselves with our new environment, and rediscover just where the wildlife now inhabit our fair planet.
Not to worry though, because we will make sure that at the end of the adventure, everyone gets back to civilization safely. We will leave no road tripper behind.
PHOTO CONTEST
In the course of our travels, we will experience not only magnificent vistas that produce Ooo’s and Ahh’s, but perhaps mob encounters and avatar antics worth capturing on film. Therefore, with each of the road trips, there will be a photo contest with 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.
The winner of the Twin Peaks Road Trip 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.
LIVE COVERAGE
This road trip 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 road trip. Upbeat music will be played to keep the energy high during our trek across Calypso, 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 road trip thread and include full artist name and song title prior to the start of each road trip.
SEE YOU ALL ON SATURDAY

The winner of the Twin Peaks Road Trip 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
• 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 content 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!!
