The 9pm reference was just an example - the times will be set by mlratto

As I own a War Frigate, War Galeon and a Light Sloop - I guess if there is a Light Sloop and a War Galeon race I can be in those

EDIT: Since a sloop is only 1k - I could sell the LS and get a sloop for the race then sell it back later

i had a hard time figuring out how to police the race so i came up with the six boats per race and all participants could be crewed so we all could communicate. stuff like "hey i just saw so and so using full sail". but more importantly so participants could report when their cargo hold was full.

since there is really no way to know other than putting a judge on each ship that's the solution i came up with.
Yea - the downside to the idea would be the crewing up probably wouldnt work and it would be on players word... and I can understand the issues there

ahhhh, excellent question. i was thinking how that could come into play. In these early stages i'd say they will have no impact other than you must fill your cargo hold. perhaps at a later stage if this should catch on i could set up some sort of scoring table (i.e. under 100 cargo reduces your time by 10 seconds, 100-200 by 15 seconds, etc)
Yea, too bad cargo is random... cause then you could do this but with random drops and Treasure Sense... filling the hold I think is your only extra option - but a great idea
