31 JULY 2009 Squad Jeep Races
« on: July 25, 2009, 06:06:07 PM »
We have 5 short jeep races planned for the next event.  This will be a JEEP ONLY event.  Vehicle supplies and troops will be used.  The map for the event will be the SFMA map.  It's the one with the three high altitude bases.  The finish for each race will be the capturing of V69.

Race 1)  Players will launch from the Vehicle Hangar at A48 (12,14 8.5K) and proceed downhill to V69
Race 2)  Players will choose from A48, A55, A49, and A41 spawn points and proceed to V69

The next three races will be shooting at the Green Guys. 

Race 3)  Race will be same format as Race 1.  Combat will dispense at pre-arranged time.
Race 4)  Race will be same format as Race 2.  Combat will dispense immediately after spawn.

The last race will be different than Race 3 and 4.  Race 3 and 4 are unlimited lives.

Race 5)  Race will be same format as Race 2.  Combat will dispense immediately after spawn.  THIS WILL BE A ONE LIFE EVENT RACE.

The field acks at V69 will be down so no worries about that.  The jeeps carry three troops apiece.  Tactics will be necessary in gaining the capture.  This will allow for a squad to get a player at the maproom to "steal" a capture from a squad who already got 9 troops in from 3 jeeps.

More information will come in the next few days before the event. :salute

Sounds like a blast  :aok

I like the idea of the 5 shorter races this time around.  This will allow guys to come in as they want and leave as they want if they only want to run 1 of the 5 as an example.

For those of you that are thinking Jeep races wont be fun or not for the "manly" bunch i recommend you try it once.  There are tuff, challenging and require practice if you expect to win them.

Standing by for the greater explanation of the rules for each race.  I have questions after reading your post above.

See you at the start line Friday night!!  :D

I would suggest that those who wish to join in take the time to run the course offline so as to get some squad tatics.

Due to a change in the planning Race 5 will now be unlimited lives.

We would like to start getting some info on what squads will be particpating and how many from each squad for planning purposes. This is not compulsory and or binding.

Time for the start will be 10 PM Eastern, 9 Central, etc etc------

All players will monitor chanell 200 for snickering, bullying, etc etc.

You may still use your squad VOX and range.

AKDogg might have to sit this one out for other reasons. We do need to have more posts from people who want to participate in the jeep race this Friday.

Tuk, do you have any idea how many of your squaddies will attend?

I am having same issues with this new version as frame rates are terrible.

Upcoming FSO will be hurting also.

Lets give it 1 more try around here. If you are interested in the jeep races please let us know. This is all just trial and error right now but it is getting better. I think they are a fun race inbetween FSO's, besides you will be able to kill people this time around.

All those who can attend the jeep race please do so.  If the attendance level is low, then we will go to a backup plan of a short over the horizon race as before.

With the new update, there are many players having technical issues.  That is completely understandable about not participating.  The plans for the event were made several weeks ago long before HTC made the update without notice.  This was a complete surprise to us.

We'll try to do the race one way or another.

Due to some issues beyond our control, we'll be doing the jeep races in Mid-War arena (Purple).  the location is A48 on the side of Rooks.  This is last minute but we're trying to get this out quickly as possible.

The arena will be SEA 1, start time will be at 10 pm.

Shegotya is running this event and we appreciate her time and talents.

We hope to have many turnouts. A lot of people have been reading this thread but only a few have responded so we really dont know how many will be with us.

Race 5 is a surprise and only Shegotya, AKKuya and myself know what will transpire. We kept the secret from our own squaddies.

Thanks from AKBmzawy.
