With news last week that there was going to be a car give away, many players were excited with the possibility of getting their very own car and even better getting it as a gift! June 21st was a long day for many waiting by tp's hoping to catch a glimpse of officals who would hand over virtual keys to a shiny new set of wheels!
However, there wern't as many free cars to be given out as we all had hoped and that left many people a little disappointed that they wern't lucky enough to get a new car.
The DJ's of Atlashavenradio got together and were talking about what could we do- if anything - to maybe let some people that hadn't gotten a car yet a chance to have some fun as well.
We came up with the idea of having a car race for non car owners. With the system in place for being able to loan out your car with little risk to the car owner, we tracked down a race track that was mostly mob free (we had some horses wanting to race at one point ) and decided on the race track east of the New Switzerland tp.
Friday night 00:00 MA time during fishface's radio show we wormholed people in from swamp camp and had a crowd of many others waiting at the starting point at the race.
It was thrilling to see so many eager and mostly cheerful people waiting for a chance to drive a car, and even better race it against other people.
We had 5 heats and the winners of each heat won 10 ped and a seat in the finals.
For each round, racers were given access to a generous car owners car , and as they raced around the track, fishface gave commentary and car songs over the radio as entertainment.
What no one knew, except for the AHR dj's was that there was going to be a secret grand prize. We didn't want anyone coming to the race in hopes of winning a cool item. So we advertised small prizes on purpose. When all the finalists were selected Fishface announced to the cheering crowd that the finalists would race around the track for 3 laps and the winner would walk away with a shiny new....GREEN car, donated by fishface himself. His very own car that he had recieved from an offical during the give away.
The final race was intense. They were all neck in neck, with hardly a break in the line. No one knew who was clearly going to take the grand prize. We all waited anxiously watching the final 5 cars whizz by, 1, 2, and 3 times....when it was all over and the dust settled Adamer was the winner, with Parlog coming in a very close second.
I lined up all the worthy finalists (Lydia, Rufen, Tamlin, Adamer, Parlog ) and congratulated them all on a job well done and gave them their 10 ped prize. I then sent the beaming Adamer over to Fishface so that he could collect his shiny new and very fitting greenmobile.
One participant in the race Steve Saber has been quoted as saying that "This was the BEST EVENT EVER!!". others like Parlog have said, "This was so much fun! Adamer made a perfect race and i have hit a log in the way once , that gave him the 3m advantage to win this race.
GRATZ Adamer!
I was second, but I am happy!"
It was an intense, great event with a surprise ending. It couldn't of been done though without the generous donations of car time by all the car owners that showed up to lend their cars. Entropia Universe is full of some great people and this event clearly showed that in play this past week.
