That's right! That old powerboat rp!
I'd like to see it return to life here. The section is there for it...

I was always intrigued by that story, even before I mustered enough courage in myself to join CFU at the time. If a revival were to be, I'd certainly be interested.

I'd like to still use Freda Nightshade, if it's possible. I have to work out her profile again because it was lost on CFU when I got banned.

Huzzah!
I'd really like to see this one take off again. Any other takers?

Yeah, I would like to see it come to life again.

Probably should set up a little section for it. XD
Wish I could remember the whole story I had set up, but I disappeared from CFU before I thought to snap it up.

I remember that there was a race going on at the moment between Danny Wake and Freda Nightshade, which ended in a tie. Then there was the party-crasher, Jael, who showed so much potential that she got a sponsor from Digitar. And there was this other powerboat (I forget his name) who wanted to win more than anything. He was like a water version of Chick Hicks.
The story kinda got stale after that when the other RPers grew disinterested in it.
Maybe a new storyline is needed to help jumpstart this RP. Lemme get to thinking about that.

I don't think I'd become disinterested in it. Before Cars came out, I was really into cetacean (dolphin and whale) roleplaying. RPs on the ocean are my favorite kind.
As for a storyline, I'm willing to go along with whatever comes up.

I'm tempted to use Vladikov's Soviet Powerboat from the Tom Arnold "McHale's Navy" movie, but I'm already ripping enough movie characters as it is. *.=.*;;;

Story idea... mrh... *thinks* Well, there's a lot of stuff that could happen. Boats live quite dangerous lives comparatively.

oil spills collisions sinkings storms races rescues underwater exploration ^^ sea-going expeditions
And there's plenty more ideas to choose from too...

Lighter frames mean more pain in crashes, too. I figure it'd be best to mostly stick with coastal stuff.
Maybe an oil spill occurs right during a big race?

That would get the tugboats out in force to help clean up the oil spill and the area where the oil spill had occurred would have be cordened off by Coast Guard and Navy ships so that any civilian craft would be kept away.
And, of course, that would cancel the race, wouldn't it?

*nodnod* It could even be that someone sabotaged the poor ship carrying the oil.

Yeah, someone who wants to stop the race sabotages the tanker and forces him/her aground (ships are usually referred to as 'she' or 'her', but let's not bother with such amenities right now) and causes the accident.
Because of the danger of the oil spill, the officials presiding over the powerboat race have to council it for the safety of not only the participants, but those come to watch.
It would make for an interesting drama among various watercraft.
