Honestly you'll never see me in a race event till the old squid is back. Every time I think about it, I think about how fun it could have been. Then I get irritated. So ultimately I'd rather avoid it than write another essay to Muse. Why my squid is called "Fuyukai"

Old Squid? What happened to it that you don't like?

I am an expert on this game, in it's current state. I can hardly be blamed for not knowing how it was ;p

-- Forward Acceleration (fastest to slowest): Squid, Junker, Goldfish, Spire, Pyramidion, Galleon
-- Top Turn Speed (fastest to slowest): Squid, Junker, Goldfish, Spire, Pyramidion, Galleon
-- Turn Acceleration (fastest to slowest): Squid, Spire, Junker, Goldfish, Pyramidion, Galleon
-- Mass (largest to smallest): Galleon, Pyramidion, Spire, Goldfish, Junker, Squid

Wow the squid sucks! oh wait... It's number one in almost all of these categories.... Wow looking at these stats the squid would be a great racing ship. How come nobody has made a competitive squid race?

EDIT: Also, slightly more on topic, are there any Squid Races going on right now? This sounds like something that could become a bigger event, perhaps with races going on regularly as part of a Season, perhaps even weekly. Assuming that anyone is willing to run it to that extend of course.

I'd be interested in doing that. One of the goals for the little squid race I ran was to get a feel if anyone was interested in seeing it become a bigger event, ideally a Squid Racing Season/League that occurs over a length of time. It was mostly designed to be able to adapt for that. We would have to make some slight adjustments, namely in making sure the course is clear and obvious, possibly tweaking the other rules to be easier to follow.
The only thing left is finding a good time for it. Most big events occur over Saturday, and it would be difficult to get a section of time just for Squid Racing. Sunday is completely taken up by the SCS. We could go before the SCS, but then we have a very strict time limit (which shouldn't be a problem really). We'd probably lose the Aussies, since that's a really bad time for them. Another option would be Friday evening, but that'd be difficult as well. Too early and those in the Americas are still at work or school, and too late in the evening and everyone the EU is getting ready for bed.
But as long as there's enough interest in doing it, we can make it work out.

Yeah, the best times on the weekend are already taken. A time slot during the week may be an option, though it requires aiming for after school/work. I'd definitely be interested in this. Originally, my interest in Squid Racing was because of my desire to start a sort of Daily Event type of thing, where there would be a special event going on every day, though most of the idea seems somewhat silly in retrospect. I certainly can't come up with enough ideas myself to support what I was trying to do.
