Ladies and gentlemen,
to celebrate that Flanders is once again back on the MCS map the Batavian based company Erasmus Verlag presents a yacht race from Ambetanterijk (Flanders) to Regenteneilanden (Batavia) in seven stages. Participation costs 30 kruys but a Heemecht produced Erasmus Segel is required (cost: 150 kruys), you can use this for future races of course. The winner will receive 300 kruys but that is not the biggest prize, all participants will receive eternal fame as the Batavian Post will cover the event.
This is how the game works:
All participants will be given 70 coins. These coins can be used to bribe the pirates that infest the waters where the race is held, there are so many pirates that whoever wins the stage is determined by the pirates. To bribe the pirates you will have to send an e-mail with an offer to their e-mail address, the person with the highest offer will win the stage, the second highest bidder will become second, et cetera... But! When different teams send the same bid to the pirates they will only accept the first bid at face value. The later bids will be placed under all the other unique bids, in chronological order. Why? The pirates like originality.
At the end of a stage the order of entrance in the target port will be publicized but not how much was given to the pirates. He who enters last will receive one point, second last will receive two points, et cetera... When arriving in the port of Regenteneilanden the team with the most points will be called the winner and will receive the prize money.
Once there are at least three people who have stated they wish to enroll I will make a race calendar, there will be one stage each week.
