Talk:Event E2/Proposal Adalie

OM Whisking

 * 3. 1 hour before race: OMs whisk contestent sloops (if necessary) to Fintan.

-Is there any special reason the contestants cant move their own boats?


 * Five minutes into the run, the sloops are told their first destination. (This is to prevent any crew from getting a jump on others and to make the start of the race the "real" start.)

-How will the contestants know where to chart to if they dont know where they are going? -To prevent one crew from getting a jump on another, simply have all boats deport (you would be on a separate deported boat at the same island where you can see them all) then tell them to go on a 3 count or some such. (I have done that on a sloop race I hosted, worked quite well.) Shandra (Taco)

> This was to help people start with the same amount of rum and shot... but this could as easily be made part of the crew's advance preparation, yes.

> Yes, telling after deport works as well... but perhaps, to make it fair, no crew is allowed to PvP its opponents for the first five minutes of the contest... allowing everyone to get underway to their first destination. Ladyelaine ~Adalie~

Question
How are you going to enforce the no jobbers rule? Just by making sure they are all in your crew and watching for jobbing notices? What about if they have to arrange charting? If the person has it memmed, the deed has to be traded and such for them to chart it. If the deed gets traded, that wipes the vessel logs, so you're rum purchase that was proof of starting location, gets wiped from vessel logs. You'd need to inform everybody that they may not trade their deeds out during the contest, and that their charter also has to temporarily join your crew. --Muroni 05:19, 8 February 2006 (PST)

Preparing to have enough participating crewmates on-line during the event is part of the crew's preparation.

The coordinator[s] would be able to check periodically with a /vwho whether or not the pirates on board are part of the contestant crew.

Yes, arranging for charting is part of the crew's preparation - as this event is testing crews' organization. But perhaps some charts (though not those providing the quickest route) could be given out before/during the contest? This is a good point and worth discussing in the Workshop... Ladyelaine (Adalie)
