OOTMIAN PABOL GRAND PRIX
Hosts: Rathmar Praji | Mauve du Vain
​

Greetings, Master Racer.

If you are receiving this holographic transmissions, you have been selected to compete in the Ootmian Pabol Grand Prix, a series of exceedingly deadly races across the Mid-Rim.

Based on the Serolonis Riot 5000, this unique sporting event dubbed Riot Racing is not your typical series of podraces but a free-for all where sabotage and outmaneuvering your opponents is just as essential as learning to fly around all the dangerous obstacles on the track.

Racers of exceptional skill from all across the galaxy are assembling their teams and flocking to the circuits.

The winner will receive 200,000 Underworld Credits, the title of Ootmian Pabol Grand Prix Champion, custom flair, and a custom podracer.

Will you edge out the competition, or crash and burn? Pick your mechanic. Pick your racer. And come compete in the Ootmian Pabol Grand Prix. Find a corporate sponsor and you may see your odds increase with special bonuses!

The entry fee is 10,000UCs for a standard podracer. You can purchase a premium podracer for 25,000UCs, which will give you a +1 advantage for one of the races in the Grand Prix. Or, you can purchase an elite podracer for 50,000UCs for a +1 to every roll in every race.

If you crash and burn during one of the races, that does not mean your defeat is final. You can repair your podracer for a small 5,000UCs fee and get back into the next race.

There will be a minimum of three races. Podracers will be scored based on their placing during each race. The winner of each race will receive 50,000UCs and custom flair. The podracer with the most points at the end of all the races will be crowned the Ootmian Pabol Grand Prix Champion.

[Ronhar Tane]

Question: I already posses a state of the art podracer, what would my fee be?

Question: I already posses a state of the art podracer, what would my fee be?

To use your specially modified engines you would still have to pay for one of the fee categories:
-Standard (no bonuses)
-Premium (+1 during one race)
-Elite (+1 during all races)

 

[Ronhar Tane]

Righto. One more question: can I create an NPC helper or does it have to be someone else?

Gotta be a PC helper if you want them to do rolls. You don't need to have one you just wont' get the benefits.

[Arris Windrun]

Suddenly I see opportunities. Mauve du Vain would the Black Sun sponsor an elite podracer for Arris?

I also need a sidekick mechanic or some other. Would the Syndicate provide, or shall I go on the hunt?

Sorry I actually have one more question: when is the deadline to sign up? I’m just in the process of securing funding/mechanics

Black Sun will sponsor Arris with an elite podracer.

By the way, don't you have a race to lose Damien Dooku ?

Krupx Munitions would happily act as your corporate race sponsor and could split the cost of the racer.

Whatever you want. Anything at all. Seriously. Arris has no business being there, it's your kingdom.

 

[Mellifluous Magenta]

Can I have my character Eleena Salwa bring a swoop bike, rather than a podracer? Subject to the same fees, of course. Basically just an aesthetic change.

We are planning to do a swoop bike race in another thread, which you will be welcome to join. This is, however, podracers only.

Eaton would like to race

Excellent! Do you have a mechanic? And what kind of podracer will you be paying for?
