Chocobo Races (Do you want them?)

[Xahjk]

Hello again Wutai, I would like to put together some "unofficial" chocobo races and im here to see what you guys have to say, as well as gather up anyone willing to help out.

The Idea: The general idea is to hold races between our wonderful sever members for a pool reward(ie. 1000gil entry fee with 5 racers, 1st place=3000, 2nd place=1000, 3rd place=500, ect.). Pretty normal setup and nothing to complicated. I would also like to record the races so we could repost them and build a win loss tally for racers.

The Method: As you can imagine its just a tad to much for one person to handle(you know with that whole one place at a time thing). So I will need help with things like keeping track of track boundaries and recording. To confront this i am going to offer an hourly gil wage to all the "employes"/members of my new LS Vajrakalaya Inc.(I know its tacky XD)

Anyway thats the jist of it, if you have any questions ill be happy to answer them

PS: This is the first track, its very bland but its safe and has no level 80 aggro mobs killing you with ranged atks Q-Q

check it out and give me some feedback

Ok! First Time trial is up XD, can you beat it?
1000 gil says you can't, if you want the gil and the title of first place let me know and ill set up a time with you so you can challenge it Officially("Unofficially") XD

Fallground Lake Track: Time Trial
1st: Xahjk Vajrakalaya & Weltall- 2:29.9
2nd:
3rd:


Crimson Bark Straightaway:

This is the next track that i scoped out for use in races. Its a little more on the dangerous side for you thrill seekers out there, as well as the terrain being a little more difficult. again any feedback or suggestions are welcome /thumbsup

Hiya,

I'd be willing to donate some gil or items to the cause and volunteer if I'm free. Did anyone do a death march in FFXI with lvl 1 characters? That sounded like fun. With a small community like we've got we should all take advantage of it.

WU-TAI WAKE UP!

Thanks Crom, I expect it will take a little while for people to warm up to the idea.

Also feel free to /tell me in game, im free most of the time. As i build up interest im going to continue to survey Eorzea for possible new tracks as well as start out the fun with an Official("Unofficial") time-trial.

I'm down, but let's make it more like a 50-100k buy in.

[Xahjk]

im up for raising the buy in, but that might be a tad to much for a 2 to 3 min race XP
I would think between 5-10k is a good middle road, first place would reward 15-30k which is pretty good for 2 to 3 minutes.

Player events are a great idea! Let show SE we are a world worth preserving.
