Demolition Derby!!

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 I'd like to put together a good ol' fashioned demolition derby. I'm imagining a bunch of Chevaliers, Symphonies, or similar vehicles with rams front and rear and 2L engines. I'd put up something as a prize... mebbe a fancy car or some cash or something to make it worthwhile, but mostly this'd be for the fun and chaos. Maybe charge a smallish entry fee (say, $10k) and say everyone gets to keep their crappy car afterward, but the winner gets the crappy car AND everybody's money. I dunno, I'm thinking aloud here. Any tips to help get me on the road to making this a reality? ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted May 27, 2011, 10:15 pm

The Paranoid Tourist Precipitous Treachery Darkwind Guru Slavers Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,828 Joined: Jan 12, 2007 Sounds like a blast to me. I think you've found the way to make it happen. Just have people who are interested post here, maybe with days/times that would work best. OR just list whatever time it's going to be and start taking names. Make any limitations you might have on the vehicles/gangers/etc, as well. ......................... vet gateautumn gwextrav raceL1 wv e2g0,2,0 Posted May 27, 2011, 10:28 pm

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 Well now we've got gen-u-ine sponsorship! So here are the rules as I imagine them: All cars (cheap sedans of some sort, probably Chevs) are fitted with rollcages, mid-sized engines (2L?) and mounted rams front/rear. Armor configuration can be customized by the participants, unless someone points out how the idea is seriously flawed. If a car's motor is destroyed it must resign immediately. Otherwise resignation is at the driver's discretion. No weapons on cars, no personal sidearms. One car per gang. Entry Fee: Jeelz, as you've so graciously offered to sponsor this little shindig I'll let you decide if an entry fee is required and if so, how much. Time/Date: TBD once we get cars assembled and such. So before we go much further the question becomes: Who's interested in participating? ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted May 29, 2011, 12:39 am Last edited May 29, 2011, 12:40 am by JeeTeeOh

Serephe Collision Force Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Members Posts: 3,496 Joined: Dec 9, 2007 Destruction derbies don't seem to work so good since low speed rams do next to no damage even if the target doesn't have a rollcage... and seem to rely on the ram vehicle being heavier than the target (or just use spikes and hit it fast) ......................... vet wv paintladder ww0,3,0 Posted May 29, 2011, 2:34 am

Jeelz The Dionysian Dozen -CHQ- Darkwind Guru Mutants Faction Group: Members Posts: 1,054 Joined: Apr 30, 2009 Currently got a dozen or so Chev's at Thebes we can drive in for the event - perhaps we could squeeze 3.2's into them and cover them with one-shot rockets (I've got a bucket of those on hand). Encourage peds to pack chainsaws and the such for some gory H-T-H fun when the heat is on and bailing out of the burning wreck seems slightly less dangerous than getting blown apart in an exploding vehicle. Perhaps we could aim for Friday or Saturday in two weeks time, should give us enough time to get the cars into town and enlist some more victims participants. ......................... vet wv combatL1 raceL1 deathrceL1 paintladder Posted May 29, 2011, 5:28 am

*Splash* Coolerheads Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 568 Joined: Dec 30, 2009 If I'm around for it (50/50 chance) I'll definitely be there. But yeah, bigger cars would be better; a 2L symphony pushing around dual re-rams would take a week to get up to 40 mph... ......................... vet wv pvp5 e2g pvp2 sssc combatL1 marshal1,1,0 Posted Jun 3, 2011, 7:16 pm

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 So we've got quite a few Chevs now and I'm starting to set them up. Given the lack of damage produced by low impact collisions, armor won't be maxed out, or even close. It'll be fairly heavy front and rear with mounted rams, and only moderate on the sides. Maybe some light rockets to make things more interesting. I'm trying to think of a time that's good for both sides of the planet, and of course that's impossible. The best I see is 20:00 server time, 19 June. If we went with that schedule for the first-ever (and possibly last-ever, depending) Somerset Ram-o-rama Demolition Extravaganza, who would be interested? ((Re: Junior Tuttle: If ever there were an event designed for a guy like that, it's this! Might as well just give ya first prize now.)) ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Jun 5, 2011, 5:03 pm Last edited Jun 5, 2011, 5:05 pm by JeeTeeOh

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 Splash said: I could make that time, and yes, I'd be interested Well that makes one.  This event has been cancelled.  Seems silly to put all the time and effort into outfitting a bunch of Chevaliers just to watch 'em sit on the arena floor unmanned. Mebbe we can just crash a couple cars into each other in the middle of a scout and call it even.  Oh, wait, the way I drive we do that ALREADY.  ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Jun 14, 2011, 3:38 pm

*Splash* Coolerheads Darkwind Guru Deathrace Mafia Faction Group: Marshals Posts: 568 Joined: Dec 30, 2009 No problem; I thought it was a good idea, and I'll sign up for ANY player created event, as I know how much trouble it is to make one up. But yeah, it's not worth it in this case; we could just scout in Re-Ram cars to get our collison fix satisfied. ......................... vet wv pvp5 e2g pvp2 sssc combatL1 marshal1,1,0 Posted Jun 14, 2011, 11:23 pm

Mr_Sinister The Innumerable Digits Sunday Driver Merchants Faction Group: Members Posts: 63 Joined: Apr 11, 2011 Awww dang, I was all excited reading this post till i got to the bottom. :-(. How bout we all get 4L re-ram C armor roll-cage Phos ready instead of chevs? You can do some decent damage with one of those when you get to speed, they're relatively heavy. Also, if you hit right you can even red the other guy, what's a post apocalyptic demo derby without a little danger? I've already got one I use as a ramcar, can only fit two re-rams, so it'll be your choice wether 2-front, or 1 front and 1 back. If you already have all the parts it'll cost you nothing. If you had to buy them off the SS marketplace it would only run about 50k(give or take) to make your very own. If we can get a hand-ful of people to make one of these we'd have an event on our hands once again. Let's keep this demolition derby alive. ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 17, 2011, 7:00 pm

Mr_Sinister The Innumerable Digits Sunday Driver Merchants Faction Group: Members Posts: 63 Joined: Apr 11, 2011 Actually "relatively heavy" is an understatement. I just double checked what the Ram-pho actually weighs and it tops out at 7000 without a driver. It's heavier than my apaches, and it still gets up to speed. ......................... vet wv Posted Jun 17, 2011, 7:08 pm

*JeeTeeOh* Loose Cannons Darkwind Guru Renegade Group: Marshals Posts: 1,796 Joined: Oct 18, 2010 This may be a better idea. Keep it informal. Everybody who's interested builds a car and we go from there. The phoenix idea isn't half bad.... I'll start building one. 4L and rerams, eh? ON IT. ......................... vet wv e2g marshal cont deathrceL1 sssc Posted Jun 18, 2011, 4:59 pm
