Race will end in a system with a sprint to secure cans (approx 100-149 km off gate) with book marks inside cans. These bookmarks will have serial numbers to coincide with what prize you win. Prizes will be handed out when players dock up and trade them to me. Race will be AROUND 10 jumps (so as to not eat up ALL your eve time) ==================== Rules 1. Contestant MUST fly the entire route in a rookie ship - No Clone Jumping/Travel - If your ship is destroyed you must dock up immediately in the same system and get into a new noob ship to continue the race. YOU MAY NOT LEAVE THE SYSTEM IN YOUR POD AND CONTINUE. 2. Contestant MAY use ANY MODULE on their Rookie ship 3. Contestant MUST be in 'The Great Rubber Duck Race' Chat for the entire race to be eligible for prizes. 4. Contestants that 'CRASH' during the race are Disqualified and MAY NOT re-enter the race 5.

Tanith YarnDemon	Posted - 2008.09.29 01:03:00 - [4] So the race will not pass stationless systems, or you are disqualified if you get shot in one? Just checking.

Just checking. Let me re-check my currently planned route ... I will try to make the route go through systems with ATLEAST one station ... BUT will adjust rules accordingly if it has to pass through a system with no stations. Stand by

There is NO LIMIT to the amount of pilot who can enter the race ... just get into the Race Chat and be AT the announced location before the start of the race. I will gang up the racers. No way to protect racers ... thats going to be a part of the fun. MAKE SURE you update your clone. Originally by: jcoutepascher are Account alts authorised to interfear with other race contestants ? ANYONE is allowed to interfere with racers. CONCORD rules apply. SO beware of war targets AND Pirates !!

The PitBoss Caldari Interstellar Brotherhood of Gravediggers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2008.10.20 17:28:00 - [21] Originally by: Shinma Apollo If all other contestants are podded (smartbombing BS/or such) can someone hypothetically win every prize? NO ... unfortunately you will only be able to collect ONE prize ... If you find yourself being the only one to survive ... you will be able to choose which can to go to get the BM for which prize you want. I WILL ROLL OVER any unclaimed prizes into another event down the road ... Sponsors will STILL be given credit for the prize in the NEW EVENT.

Uylear Gallente Uylears Dream	Posted - 2008.10.23 23:57:00 - [26] If the cans are secure, I guess they are not p/word protected so racers can get the BM. But what if some other, non-race person gets them. Are they going to be dealt with? Happy birthday if it is indeed yours today!

But what if some other, non-race person gets them. Are they going to be dealt with? Secure cans will be PW protected ... Password will be the same for ALL the cans ... PW will be given out in fleet when racers get close ... to keep non-racers from ruining the race. ANY other suggestions are welcome Thank-You, The Pitboss Signatures by: Kalen Vox

Kehmor Caldari Malevolent Emo Herders Obsidian Empire	Posted - 2008.11.04 21:12:00 - [38] Doesn't this race give minmatar a distinct advantage? - Violence isn't the answer, it is the question. The answer is yes.
Julius Rigel House Rigel	Posted - 2008.11.04 21:53:00 - [39] Originally by: Kehmor Doesn't this race give minmatar a distinct advantage? What advantage is that exactly? Scared of the events forum?
Esna Pitoojee Amarr Heavily Utilized Mechanic Mayhem	Posted - 2008.11.05 00:12:00 - [40] Originally by: Kehmor Doesn't this race give minmatar a distinct advantage? I think he's referring to the fact that minmatar ships are typically faster than their counterparts; however, since the race is starter ships only, I doubt the difference will be that problematic. Or, if you're really worried, just purchase the minmatar frigate skill, spam a minmatar alt to get the ship(s), and fly a reaper. Anyhow, I will certainly be around for this event. ---------------------------------------------- Say "Amarr ships suk, lol." I dare you.

Julius Rigel House Rigel	Posted - 2008.11.05 00:42:00 - [41] Originally by: Esna Pitoojee minmatar frigate Rookie ships have no skill requirements, so I don't see what he's so worried about. You just need to undock and look for an abandoned Reaper if you really want to maximize your so called 'advantage'. Scared of the events forum?

Hexperience Amarr Silent Ninja's	Posted - 2008.11.16 18:46:00 - [47] First in and I got the broadsword! \0/ I was like in fourth place until the people in front of me got smartbombed in rancer lol. Thx for a great event PitBoss!
Captain Bucky'O'Hare	Posted - 2008.11.16 18:49:00 - [48] Haha, brilliant event. Lot of good banter along the way, and some pretty prizes! I just finished 3rd, and earned 100Mil, after a dodgy run through Rancer! Highly Recommended! I'll be back for another.
sibsubsapsay	Posted - 2008.11.16 18:50:00 - [49] just made it to first place then i got smartbombed in rancer :( still got the 10th prize though, that was insanely fun

Ewyx Caldari Erlang Biolabs	Posted - 2008.11.16 18:59:00 - [51] heheh... Awesome event! Kudos to The PitBoss, was really fun, had a great time, and that's not just because I won Anyway, I've proven that Ibis is still the superior noobship Honestly, great event, will do it again. Rancer was pretty fun. Scary as **** though. I guess it paid off to be a little behind everyone, and with those smartbombs, I got really lucky. I decided to bet everything on squeezing a microwarp drive, and it paid off in the end, when I managed to be the fastest sprinter. Anyway, thanks again. Thank you BattleClinic for supporting my addictions. Also, next time this happens, everyone should join, it's really fun And you're not even risking much.
X3k5 Amarr Imperial Shipment	Posted - 2008.11.16 19:05:00 - [52] Edited by: X3k5 on 16/11/2008 19:07:45 Awesome race, highly recommend you do the next one if you didnt participate this time. I started off pretty good, first out of the station and warping off, competing with Mishirosen for 1st place. A good few jumps and then we entered rancer. I figured I'd let somebody else warp from the cloak first so that the attention gets diverted from me. It worked and I made it to the rancer exit gate but booom, smartbombed there :P As I began to take damage on my pod, I was able to just make it as I warped off. No afterburners in rancer but did get an overdrive and off again with the second Impairor. This one made it through the exit gate and off to the destination. Got inside and I see a few people there already with 1,2,3,5 gone and 4 being contested strongly. Someone else was going for 7 I think. No one seemed to notice the Vagabond :P And I slowly(399m/s) made my way to Prize 6. Alfonso might've beaten me actually(think he had a AB) if he had'nt mistakenly warped. So a fair bit of bad luck and at the end good luck for me :) Overall, it was good fun Good luck and gratz to all the others :) My gratitude to PitBoss and all the sponsors and donators. Another way you guys make EvE more fun :)
Esus Ionhar	Posted - 2008.11.16 19:07:00 - [53] Great fun. Tension beforehand was palpable. I blame my defeat entirely upon Rancer and being stuck on a gate unable to jump. Warped out to a station with my pid burning. Typically when I jumped back, the gate was basically clear... However it was very well run and I did get a prize at least. Congrats to all that took part. So...when's the next one? ;)
matbrum	Posted - 2008.11.16 19:36:00 - [54] Great fun, I got 5th Prize: A lovely lovely Deimos Rancer was pretty fun with everyone shouting in voice. Thankfully made it through untouched by the large gate camp on the way in and the smartbombing BS on the way out. A fair bit of jump button hammering was done though! Will be coming on the next one and will donate something pretty. Thanks to Pitboss and the other organisers and the sponsors for the prizes.
Miss Uylear Caldari Perkone	Posted - 2008.11.16 20:43:00 - [55] Indeed, indeed. This event truly kicked arse. Rancer was the one, the bit on a rollercoaster that tips you all over the place. Much excitement was had here. Great crowd, great prizes, and all for a little risk. Best (and first) race I ever done. Loved it. Weee, I got 25 million! I see no man like man see's me.
The PitBoss Caldari Interstellar Brotherhood of Gravediggers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2008.11.16 22:07:00 - [56] Was a Great EVENT .. minimal problems ... got started about 15 mins late BUT besides that ... all was cool. A BIG thanks to all who participated ... enjoy your prizes A BIGGER thanks to all of the sponsors ... ASK anyone ... I got the word out about you!! Keep eyes on the forums for future events from me !! Thank-You, The Pitboss Signatures by: Kalen Vox
