Just wanted to let you all know that I think this first official race is going to be a great success^^. I've had a lot of people ask me about it and I've told alot of people about it and they all seem keen on coming. Although they did ask for a reminder on here and online the day before or so. Hopefully I will remember to do that.

Here's to a successful first run out of hopefully many. Just wanted to say Thanks again to Byaina for being the only who who got off their butt and got this whole thing started^^. Hopefully It will be the start of A LOT of new fun on Bismarck!!

**I'm trying to think of an event where even those who no longer have any jobs at lvl 1 (most of my friends ><) can also participate. Maybe we should make that our next goal?

I gotta say, I sorta like Moronathon... though I did make up Moron's Marathon... well, I'll be there next Sunday.

Okay folks, we have a couple of last-minute things we need to establish here.

First, I'm going to take charge of holding all the entry fees and distributing prizes at the end, if nobody minds. People can give their money to whichever referee/committee member they register with, but I'll keep it all for the duration of the race.

Second, we have yet to decide who is going to referee the race. I suppose some of that will depend upon how many parties/alliances we end up with, but as of right now I think we only have five people (me, Ele, Demon, Dnoth, and Ishido) to volunteer and I think we're going to have more than 30 people participating, from what I've heard. We may need to recruit more referees.

Third, still on the topic of referees, we still haven't decided who is going to run the race and who's going to sit it out to be the checkpoint judges or the ones monitoring the routes themselves. Again, I suppose some of this will depend upon how many people show up to run the race but we do kind of need to decide. I'm willing to sit the first race out - I'll do as I suggested and ride on chocobo along with the racers - but I think we probably need one more person to do that so we have one person at the start and end of every zone.

Or we could just have a total free for all. XD Your choice.

One last thing - about prizes, were we going to go with the idea of having a "no-prize" of sorts for different categories - ie, first death, most extravagant escape (Ele would have won this ten times over in our trial race), longest train, and so on? If so we'd probably better establish those categories and such first but I guess we'll have time before the race too.

I'd like for the "committee" members to meet up in Bastok an hour before the race, if we can, so I can distribute linkpearls and we can do our last-minute planning. I'll be sending all of you tells tonight to confirm this stuff but I might as well post it here too.

Here's to a successful event!

okay this time i am back for real i have been insanly busy with gettign rdy for collage and all that happy crap

Yeah ele, that occurred to me too. 2-hour = BAD! RARGH

Also, good to see you back Dnoth!

Letsee, i like this thread too: following events i have done or am doing:
Bastok Comedy Klub Show: a show that plays more like a variety show with contests, stand up, skits, and other various things , happens anywhere from twice a week to once every 3 weeks.
Chocobo Grand Prix: Had a 50k gil grand prize, entry pearls started at 500 gil, then 700 gil then 1000 gil the day before the race. over 30 peeps entered, but only 17 showed. Which i found out was a good thing cause its hard to keep track of who enters in which place. But with the linkshells its easy to spot a cheat, and with my whm friend teleporting me towards the finish lines all three races were well monitered and ended in a success.
the SOUL MONSTER LEAGUE: This is what i am currently working on. It is the first of its kind that i know of, a pro sports league in Vanadiel! www.geocities.com/soulmonsterleague check it out and start your own in your server with my support! Ill guide you and Ill even make you your own webpage. Or make your own even! I think this could be something big in the future of gaming. thank you

yes teh quiz show shoudl be done in gaem i was able to just look up the answer for my question on www.ask.com it did take a logn time to get it tho because all the places that had it was trivia web sites>.< and they didnt; give the answers

I don't think I'll be available to run the race or any other event this weekend. :( It's Labor Day and that means family time. If you want to run it independently you're more than welcome to, Eleusynia. I definitely don't want the events to stop if one of us can't make it.

Changed the race for this friday september 3, 2004.

I just remembered my LS is doing a group thing on sunday night so some of them wouldn't be available and I promised I would help. Since I can't guarantee we'd be done by the race time, I dont want to chance not being there on time to help people out.

We could definitely use your help this friday Naeo^^

Actually I'm sure we could always use some more help.

As to who's idea anything was, I have no idea. I am but a lowely minion of Byaina's, doing her moronathonic bidding whenever called upon. (j/k^^)

Of course you can be a committee member, Naeo. The more the merrier and we definitely want the wisdom of the guy who came up with it. :)

So, when's the next running of the bulls... er, morons? Back to the usual Sunday time slot after Labor Day?

I would also like to join this fun event. Have a question tho. For those people who decide to use WHM as their lvl 1 job, should this be banned cause you have the ability to pop off 1 or 2 cures at this lvl...(don't know if this was mentioned earlier or not)

BTW Eleusynia, I've had that teleport thing happen also, but it was with a friend who i was helping doing Sam Quest and she didn't have any teleports crystals (found out later) O.o (and she was 30+ at the time). Btw for those who don't know it absolutely sucks walking back to Zone in Santuary of Zi'tah (OMFG that Rock Golum is coming straigth for us!). I ended up dying walking thru Saurumogue (ever had 5-6 Skink's chasing after you?...looked like Jurassic Park). Poor thing felt some bad, there's no way I could have gotten mad at her. She's real sweet too (suffice to say she has all the crystals now). Moral: I always ask now when I go to the remote teleport location ^^.
