Edited by: Varia on 15/05/2004 11:06:59 I've been asked to organize a corp event just recently and I decided to offer it as a general invite to the eve community.
Due to the nature of this rally and the complexity of this event I will have to limit the numbers of gumballers, this number is still to be decided. There may also be a small entry fee for this event, amount to be decided.
Whats is it all about
The Gumball rally is normally a road race between point A to point B covering around 3000 miles passing various check points on route. To get an idea of what this event is all about check out the Gumball Rally 3000 site At http://www.gumball3000.com/new/launch.htm (sorry not sure how to make linkage).
The Eve Gumball Rally will be of a similar type race.
Any ship is allowed to enter except for battleships. If your ship gets destroyed along the way you can re-enter the race at the last check point you passed, once you have a new ship. (you will need to inform a referee).
The event will be in two legs and each leg will take place on seperate days (taking around 2-3 hours per leg) Each leg is time based so it could be possible to lose one leg but still win the overall rally from the 2nd leg.
There will be 1st, 2nd & 3rd prizes for the fastest Gumballers, 1st prize being 100 mil isk.
If your interested at talking part please leave your name below, time for the rally is still to be decided.
Please beware that it may be possible to lose your ship during this event, this rally will require more than just speed but cunning and dareing as well oh and maybe a few waepons just to make sure .
I'll post more details later
Thanks for reading.

The route is not decided yet so i can't tell you, the chances are it will be empire rangeing from 0.8 - 0.1.
The 1st leg will end at a station.

Hmmm, Not sure how you plan on having any kind of real "combat" (even pot shots) in empire, unless you put a lot of checkpoint thingies in .4 or lower around planets, moons, belts, or POI's heheh.
Otherwise, this sounds like a pretty cool event, but like I said, unless you figure out a way to ensure some violence CAN (not will but CAN) occur, you better choose the route carefully, and make sure that at the very least, the checkpoints can be free from concord intervention.

Edited by: Varia on 16/05/2004 15:50:00 There will be plenty room for danger in many parts of the rally.
I plan to use many moons and planets along the route, this rally wont just be a jump from system A to system B to syetem C kind of event but more towards using the almost limitless space that we have and hardly ever use.
Hopfully even if you dont win each player will have discoved more about eve and learned a few tricks along the way.
I'm also seriously considering not to bother with an entry fee to this event.

This has been mentioned several times about interceptors having advantage over the other competitors, sure the interceptors are fast but so can several frigates.
Rests assured speed wont always help and donÆt forget the story about the Hare and the tortoise.

Well, the hare was dumb enough to go to sleep whilst in sight of the finish line.. anyone that stupid deserves to loose.
I'll remember not to dock one jump before the end to have a nap
