What the heck is this crazy idea?
On Saturday April 12th at 2 PM GMT, the Final Gear forum will hold it's first ever wacky race! Think of this race as part Death Race 2000, part Cannonball run, and part Wacky Races from Hanna Barbera. Here is how it goes down:
The thread you are reading is for registration of participants and their "vehicles". On the date above, another thread will made by me and you will subsequently "race" via replys for 24 hours, until 2pm GMT on Sunday April 13th. The first person to cross the finish line (meaning the first to post at 2 PM) will be the winner. Special awards will also go to person with the silliest vehicle, most unsportsman AND sportsman like conduct, the lame loser, etc.
What do I race with?
Well, you need to choose a vehicle to race in, and this is the fun part....it can be anything with four wheels, real or imagined!...vehicles with tank treads and flying vehicles are excluded. You can outfit your vehicle anyway you want; 10,000 HP? Go for it. Gun turret? Sure! Let your imagination run wild! Also, you can have a co-driver real or imagined, famous or anonymous, dead or alive. So if you want Bill Cosby to be with you...all the better. Again, use your imagination!
How do I participate in this once I am registered?
As mentioned, I will create a thread at 2 PM GMT on Saturday, thus beginning the race. Obviously, you can't "race" for 24 hours straight....but with a little imagination, you can catch up! And you can't just post that you started the race, warped off to the finish and won. You have got to "fight it out" with the other participants.
What are the rules, if any?
-You have to participate in order to finish.
-You cannot be pissed off if someone blows you up, runs you off the road, etc. Remember, this is a silly race, if you get blown up, you can....I dunno, chant a spell and fix your car and be off again. Be creative.
-You cannot turn the thread into a flame war. Nobody wants that.
-NO IMAGES CAN BE POSTED. Everything has to be done using your imagination.
-Have fun, and be creative and funny in your posts. This could have the making of being one Final Gears most epic threads, so bear that in mind.
What is the point of this?
Several years ago I participated in a wacky race online, it was by far the funniest bit of internet participation I have had. It was also pretty neat when people start getting creative...they would pretend to break down, have sub stories during the race, dialog with their co-driver, you name it.
