[VOTE] 2011 Podracer Challenge Fan Favorite/Qualifying Round

[ImpendingDoom]

Having 10 votes doesnt really justify Fan Favorite. Neither does having 5, 1 point votes for that matter. Anyways congrats on those who made it inthe race and roguefx for getting the most votes.

We are working on the date and time of the podrace broadcast. Will keep you guys updated.

Speaking for myself, Brick and doodlebird, who are tied for 24th place, I was wondering what the plan was for filling the 24th position?

[Chief]

Oh, you're all in. Sorry, I thought someone had commented on that.

[CloneEmperor]

Awesome, I'll tell the troops to prep their pod. Thanks for the heads-up!

[ru4given]

How do you place your vote?

[Chief]

The poll closed the other day. The results are currently displayed.

[doodlebird]

Oh, you're all in. Sorry, I thought someone had commented on that.

(had to look that name up... i remembered his face tho)

[roguefx]

I wonder how many of these we could gather to display during Star Wars days at LEGOLAND California?

So the next stage is the top 24 go through another poll for several days, then we have the first round of random events, the field is trimmed and we start again?

[Chief]

The top 26 (because of the 3-way tie for 24th place) are in The Race.
The Race is a 3-Lap video broadcast of those 26 racers each getting a turn to roll a die, which has blue sides and red sides. Red sides are bad events, blue are good. You roll a blue side, you draw a card from the Good Event pile. That event will consist of some action and a point modifier, for example: "dodge a stalagmite: +5 pts" These points will recalculate and change the positions of those 26 racers, and after all 26 have had an event drawn, the lowest 14 will be axed from the race. Lap 2 will feature the remaining 12 racers rolling the die again, and Lap 3 will be the final 6 racers battling it out in the same process. The racer with the most points at the end of Lap 3 is the Race Winner.

There are no more polls. There is only The Race.

[Blackninjatom]

Oh wow that's so much faster than I thought it would be. Should be very interesting to see how this plays out.

[Oky Wan Kenobi]

So when will the race be broadcast?
