  OK CT. Time for a party. A biker party. The Big Pecker Truckers MC are having a big one. We are sponsoring a map wide run to celebrate another year of being able to ride here in CT. So far, more than $20 million in prizes have been pledged. (Those with deep pockets are encouraged to donate. Let's set a server record prize award?) Too many of you have an old Freeway sitting around getting rusty under a layer of dust. Time to knock that dust off.

What : Poker Run.
When : Sun 3-28-21 Time to be determined. (I need help here, suggestions? Most populated time?)
Where: Map wide. Starting at The San Fierro Bike Shop. (Caesar's old chop shop) Riding thru the Unresting Desert, Las Venturas, Wet County, Los Santos, and back to The Big Pecker Truckers MC clubhouse in San Fierro.
Required: Freeway
Rules: Standard 5 card stud rules apply for the card game.
          No intentional crashing, ramming, etc... (remember, we are all riding with the same club)
          No predetermined path. Ride anywhere you want. The waypoints will be announced in game the
          day of ride, and must be arrived at in the order they are announced.
          Riders will be required to dismount, walk up to the volunteer,(bartender) and wait in a single file
          line to get a card. After that, ride the route of your choice. (No requirement to ride in a pack, but
          that is the fun of a run.) (Also, I think a bunch of Freeways on the ferry would be a cool sight too)
          Be respectful. We are not all best of friends here, I get that. But while we are riding to have fun,         
          do just that. Keep the horseshit for another day.

Now, what is a poker run. A summer tradition for many bike clubs. You gather at the clubhouse and ride to a bar in the next town and receive a playing card. They drink and smoke for a few, then off to the next town, bar, and repeat. After the 5th town/bar/card, they return to the clubhouse for a party. Cards are shown and a winner declared.
We all love a good convoy here. I think it will be much fun to have a bunch of Freeways riding 3 and 4 deep across the map.
Mr.Deagle offered to get a video of it. Hopefully he is able to. May be cool to watch.
As I said, over $20 mil for prizes. If anyone wants to donate to make it bigger please do.
I also have a few surprise for after the party. A few million more will be won by some lucky players.
I need another volunteer to pull this off. Unless someone with the knowledge and time to spend to write a code that gives us a way to get the cards, we need two people to transport from waypoint to waypoint to distribute the cards. It may be possible with one person, but I thought 2 to be safe.
Any Admin/Mod/Dev/etc... You all have knowledge I do not about this game, server, pc's, etc... Please, if any of you have a suggestion or can help in any way, please please do. I want help to make this fun. Make it work. Make some of us smile for a bit, you know?
Any new players that cannot afford a bike, or do not have the slots for one and want to attend, we have a few club bikes available. If not enough, there are other players with an extra, just ask.

I guess that's it for now. Please respond with tips or suggestions. We still need to determine a time. I am just not the best judge for that. Again, Admins, Mods, help please.   :  )
