EVE's Amazing Race!
Sponsored by Darius Caliente (and maybe others). Prize contributions can be sent to the corporation EVE's Amazing Race.
I'd started this as a challenge for members of Affirmative. Alliance, but, based on the suggestion of Greygal (founder of Redemption Road and Affirmative. Alliance), I'm expanding this to all of New Eden.
This race will be the ultimate test of the new player SP changes.
The challenge is simple.
1) Create a new capsuleer.
2) Take a screenshot of your map showing 'Systems I've Visited' and post it to this thread to declare your interest in the race. It's best to take your screenshot immediately after getting logged in and before you leave the starting system. That said, if your map shows a few systems travelled, that's okay. If it shows more than a few (>5), then you're bad and you should create a new character.
3) Join the corporation EVE's Amazing Race. If you haven't posted your screenshot here, you won't be accepted.
4) Visit every high, low, and null sec system in New Eden. Feel free to use wormholes to get around the outer edges faster.
5) Once you've visited every high, low, and null sec system, post a screenshot of your maps 'Systems I've Visited'.
Your character must be brand new and must have applied to EVE's Amazing race within 24 hours of being created. You are more than welcome to train your new character (including the use of Cerebral Accelerators). You can speed train interceptors and use that, you can fit a cloak and an MWD to your noobship and use that. You can get in an Astero and bridge yourself past gate camps with your higher SP characters.
The first person to submit both screenshots will be declared the winner of Season 1 of EVE's Amazing Race.
A Teamspeak channel will be made available to all members of EVE's Amazing Race for communication and fleet roaming courtesy of Affirmative. Alliance. See the corporate MOTD for more details.
Prizes (will be updated if I get any sponsors)
First Place: 1 x PLEX 1 x Rattlesnake 1 x Steam Product Key for Contagion
Second - Fifth Place: 1 x Steam Product Key for Contagion
Special Prizes:
1 x Astero (Courtesy of Affirmative. Alliance) - Awarded upon completion of the race to the pilot that completes the race the fastest. Time will be measured by using the timestamps from the declaration and completion posts.
All racers that complete the challenge will be awarded a special in-game decoration from the EVE's Amazing Race corporation.
This race will complete at 23:59 EVE Time on Dec 31 2015.
Happy Racing. |

This is going to be a total giggle!
Affirmative. Alliance has set up a room on our public Teamspeak server that any participants are welcome to use, if they want to.
Terrific idea, Darius!

My map(s) do not seem to be recording the systems I visit. I am using the default settings while looking at either maps with systems I've visited on. I cannot find any color controls or other toggles that seems to turn on the view of the systems I have visited. What do? |

Edit: there was also 1 Downtime between travels and still no glowing visited systems.
Based on this really old forum post, it looks like it isn't tied to DT.
I wonder if it's related to BiaB (which seems to have messed with a number of things). Give it a day or two and if it's still not working, we'll figure something out.
In the mean time if you want to hit screenshot in every system, you can use that as evidence and go for the SoE Prize as well. |

Awesome idea Darius,
For those who might be nervous about whether it is actually possible in a sensible amount of time...
I did the "Grand Tour" back in 2011 in a Condor in about three months ... my screenshot to prove it is HERE
Sadly not eligible for the awesome prizes on offer.
Good Luck and Have Fun... I definitely did!
Cheers

Not sure how to track missing systems. I guess I wait for the Downtime or two that it takes for the dots to appear - then swing around wildly un-flattened to find the un-lit systems in a region. : )
I just hope I am not reinventing the wheel when it comes to this. |

I want to see the World, I want to see the Galaxy, I want to see the Universe.
Along my Journey, here are those who have extinguish my light:

May your mother come to talk to you, and then leave your door slightly ajar, so that you have to get up and close it.
May both sides of your pillow be warm.
May you always get up from your computer with your headphones still attached.
May your life be as pleasant as you are.
May you have your laptop charge all night without noticing the chord isn't plugged in the wall.
You scullion! You rampallian! You fustilarian! IGÇÖll tickle your catastrophe!
MethinkGÇÖst thou art a general offence and every man should beat thee.
DEAL WITH IT! |

Try using the old map (hit F10) - I've found that map makes it more obvious which systems you've visited or not (at least for these old eyes, the contrast is much better on the old map)
I believe there are some out-of-game mapping tools that you can use to track, also, but not sure off-hand for certain which ones do. GARPA would be my best guess.
My understanding (which may be incorrect) is that the in-game map updates different statistics at different times. For example, I believe that cynos update at around every two minutes, pilots in space at around 30 minutes, and NPC kills at around 60 minutes. I believe systems traveled updates every two minutes; I know I've seen it update that quickly.
At least that's my understanding.

IT IS FINISHED
NEW BETA MAP FINISHED
OLD MAP FINISHED
Other interesting Images along the way:
Green Ring... Some famous start exploded?
I survived 3 out of 7 smart bombing gate camps.... Once I was in an Interceptor they were easier to survived, if tanked well.
Last 1274 Systems to go
My OCD... 1111 systems in this section
I have learned many things about New Eden and it's inhabitants during my journey. Please feel free to ask me any question. I may write a post/article about my experience.
Also does this mean I am first place and fastest time? Just wondering.
Also, What the Heck is up with the disconnected area of space... try as I might I could not find a way to them... is that Jove space? or Dev Play-land?

I wrote an amazing Post about my experience and the forum gobbled it up when I posted it.
(insert missing emote) Sh*t eating grin.
Pha Que Technology!
TL:DR
Had an amazing time. Met some amazing people.
Spoke with many Capsuleers through out New Eden, a majority of them were not d*cks.
Lost 1 Crusader because I fell alseep at the keyboard and got kilt by an NPC Gurista Executioner.
Lost 13 pods and 12 Impairors
Made 25 million isk selling Kill rights.
Lost 8.8 million in rookie ships and 21 million on one lost Null Taxi.
Won Prizes equaling about 45 million isk a day over 46 days.
Didn't do it for the prizes.. Yes it has changed me and now I feel a bit of post success depression.
What do I do now? I don't know,
... but I do have a new unique experience and perspective of Eve Online and New Eden. |

Congrats Dude!
You are definitely the winner (1st place) and most likely also going to take fastest time but I won't be awarding that until the end of |
