SWG Event: Galactic Racing League

[Nepthys]

Galactic Racing League
Exhibition Race run by Bastaldo Padilin

Date: February 4th,
Time: 3 pm EST
Location: Blizzard Dunes, Tatooine
Race: The Jawa Junkyard Run

Entry Fee: 25k

Prizes:
1st- 500k
2nd- 250k
3rd - 100k

Rules:
1. Only Swoops are allowed.
2. No shooting each other, at least at the starting line. What goes on during the race isn't my problem.
3. No Cheating, you must pass through every waypoint.
4. Roleplaying is welcome! (( As my char will be roleplaying that he is grand marshall of the races. ))

Notes:
This is more than your average race. You will have to pick up 4 items along the way during the track. The first person to hand me all 4 items back at the start line and finish with the best time will win the race.

Roleplay:
It seems like the Desert Demons can't leave anyone alone, as they have been making trouble for the Jawas in the local area. Numerous sandcrawlers have been under attack and the cargo that was meant to be brought to the Jawa Trader Camp is unable to arrive. Therefore, I have asked any racers to pick up the cargo and help deliver it back to the jawas to ensure their economy isn't ruined.

For more information contact Bastaldo Padilan in game or on the SWGTales site.

Houston..we have a problem. Due to the server maintenance, I am unsure if the servers will be open by the time the event happens. I will keep trying, and if it doesn't happen in a couple of hours...I will have to move it to next week.

[Sai'nu]

Servers are up as of... 11am CST. In game now in fact. Just moved Vreese to BD for later today.

[Bastaldo]

Ok...everything is operational and has been set. Come on by to see who wins or to race yourself. Hope everyone enjoys themselves that come.

Who won? Did the Tusken snipers kick up any dust?

How many showed up to watch?

Tell us what happened, please.

[Bastaldo]

Well..for whatever reasons, be it the serve maintenance pissing people off, people on TC testing out heavy weapons, etc. there wasn't a major turnout to the event. However, those that did show up said they enjoyed the event and if we could get more people, it could be a hit.

Dasmu won the overall race, helping the jawas get back all the parts and netting 500k.
