Please sign up below and let me know what you are flying from this list.

Your buy-in will be that you need to tell me one suggestion to improve this mini-game. Read the rules. What do you see? How can we make this thing pop?

The course will be the 15 checkpoint Colossus Circuit with a random effect. Winner gets 50,000 credits.

More effects. Gravity wells could be a fun 50-50 chance at a speed boost or a drag. Ion storms. Bad fuel or space gas.

Buy-in: add more ways to crash rather than only clipping the checkpoint ring. Get creative with the chaos! Malfunctions in the ships, etc.

Buy in: Maybe as things continue allow racers the chance to earn a new ship, modify a ship or even specialize is using one kind of ship to change the odds.

What Zechs said. More effects. And maybe have us find toys on the track. "You have found Darth Vader's lightsaber", "Luke Skywalker's hand landed on your podracer's windshield".

Oh, and uh... I want a condition where there's an extra roll to see if your pilot shouts "now THIS is podracing!" And have the other racers automatically run you off the track.

And... post everyone's results round by round rather than overall. e.e

Buy-In: Further down the line, we could potential establish teams races of even numbered players, and use our spreadsheet mechanic for Borgleball to keep monthly betting pools for spectators to get in on the fun and make some credits on the side.
