I retract my statement some what now, even though my post never appeared on the Grog Blog... I am on the official event time and location list. I hope this goes well, but as we all know many will be staffing and bombing the playing field unless some thing special is set in place. Time will only tell how this turns out. Good luck to all those competing.

I have run past those alligators recently and noticed that the first one seems to be glitched very often. I wounder how they will deal with an alligator that is indestructable?

Alright I'm in. I've been set for Monday on Caicos.

Is it too late to sign up?

Edward Edgemenace · #26 01-17-2009, 05:04 PM

I can't even estimate how many people they are planning to have in each race. I like their comment about the "overwhelming response" - they have my sympathy. (Well, I'll save my sympathy for later, when people start screaming that they missed events, or complaints about unfairness/cheating start rolling in.)

Good luck to all ye pirates! May the best pirate win! Keep doing your practice laps on quiet servers...

***Chris*** · #27 01-17-2009, 05:59 PM

From what i counted there will only be about 20 pirates running a race at one time at one server so it shouldnt be that bad.

I just came to one of the races and if you win they give you a code you can type in and get extra gold. I think it's another emote /code. Third place gets 100. Second gets 500. I didn't see what was first. As everyone predicted... crowded... I wouldn't suggest this if you have max gold.

My take on this event: SNAFU...FUBAR.

The lag is as bad as any event of this type I've ever attended, if not worse.

Started late (as usual).

Captain Walter was calling out the names of contestants that were signed up for Barano server...when we were in fact on Caicos. So he's saying none of the contestants showed up when in fact the CORRECT contestants for that server were yelling that they were there.

Cluster...circle...well. You get the picture. Not looking forward to my race tomorrow.

Edward Edgemenace · #30 01-17-2009, 08:13 PM

Ouch. I only got to "watch" a single race so far. I don't think I saw any of the participants actually running, the lag was so bad. "Overwhelming reponse" was something of an understatement, I think. Bravo to the Disney GMs for seeing it through. They each displayed the patience of a saint. (And yes, they have my sympathy!)
