ok, back on topic xD
Y U DOUBLE POST? lol but is there like a minimum length of a track, or can it be like 5 blocks or something... there should probably be a set length, eg 100-150 blocks or something, and i seem to love run-on sentences :D

That's too short, you want to make them really long so that the race lasts at least a minute so that the suspense lasts awhile. A longer race makes betting more entertaining.

I know, I was just saying an example :)
I must say that I definitely like the idea of horse racing. At least we will then have another 'game' then parkour or spleef.
On the down side though, it will take up a lot of land
Great idea, me and Larko have a racetrack and stable business, we also have a market, we have a drum post on it, we may be interested in this. If you want to check us out we are at: /home shortgeorge goodwood

Is the racetrack like a drag strip or a circle...
Most horse racing tracks are circular/ elliptical.

Very much so. As much as I know horse racing in real life, I am fairly confused as of the minecraft version of horseracing. Opening up a Horse Origanzation Council.

What can you bring to this board:
In dedication of 1.6, I will be starting(behind everyone else) to build a racetrack.
I thought of making an 8 shaped track, with overlapping tracks in the middle.
I'll give it a go first then maybe post a screenshot of it for feedback from you guys.
I'm starting to build my race track ^_^ its not going to be huge but it will be big enough

Yeh, I got some problems with the block radius for the track. :P
so i've spent my time not being able to log onto opticraft to make an 8-shaped track
take a look and leave me comments on how to improve it, perhaps
or maybe if you're interested in the details

btw the area is 37x112 blocks
You could add a few jumps (hedges) which could be made out of leaves
that is to be added soon.
the track is still in alpha stage :P
ao I've added hedges and jumps, a little redstone work a noob like me can do for the starting line, and also since I plan the track to go for a few laps, I put pressure plates so that the first horse to reach the finish line will set off fireworks.
any other suggestions on what I can add?
I'll put some more pics afterwards, I'm on my phone now
Since Shortgeorge has taken Goodwood off of her homes I have taken over as she has a project she needs to do I have taken over Goodwood tempararly until she has a free home,also we would like the shops to be finished.
Regards,
JLSLover123
so you're the temporary manager of Goodwood huh JLSLover123?
good for you :D
what if, and I say IF, I build a track ditto to the one I posted above somewhere near Goodwood's stables.
of course it would need the approval of both the honorary Larkosaurus and shortgeorge. I am just wondering whether you could relay my idea to them if they don't read about it off this forum topic themselves.
I can't and won't run a racetrack all by myself, that is why I'm proposing a collaboration.
How will horse betting be set up? Will there be some automatic betting machine like when you put a sign on a dispenser, or will it be manual and you would have to pay a person that will give the money to the winner. The first idea will of course need to be implemented into the server and may take a little longer since you need to put in the racers name and connect the finish line somehow to the automatic betting machine so the machine can give it to the people that betted for the winner and it will have to split it evenly. The second idea will be easier but it will be easy for the person that receives the money to steal some of the money, then again it's a a way of getting "paid" but still dishonest. Also will there need to be tickets added or will it be free to the public and will the horse stadium owners make there money off a percentage of the bets?
I know you said closed... so just let this sit here until you open them. I'll forget to post later.

Accepted on both boards. Glad that you have been taking such an interest. Welcome to the board. You seem to have many places of expertise so I will personally deem your position with you.

It's not impossible to make a redstone machine as I have a friend that will most certainly love to help me with it. Your second idea was my general idea, except I would do it honestly, and fairly. I would plop up a sign, with the jockey's name, horses name, and the odds! I would account for all money I receive during the betting, and find out a fair, honest percentage that a profit for me will come in without putting myself in a awkward situation where I can't pay the punters. I will see what the finalized betting position is.
Love the idea :) If u need some help someone tto start races and all that just contact me on fourms or when i am ever on opticraft :)

Thank you very much. Flattered lol I'll contact you when I begin to organize racedays. Cheerio
Is there a way I could be one of your advertisers? I'll speak to you more in game.
Like little signs (minecraft wooden ones) and big signs (wool ones).

Why Yes. That would be absolutely amazing :D You'd be taking a lot of work off my shoulders.
PS: Today, I will be inspecting the racetracks that I have accepted.
Ok, so, as it's titled "Opticraft Horseracing Organization".... I was wondeing what gave you the right to use that title, because it wasnt even decided by the community or whatnot. Because, when you started this post you said yourself that you had no idea what you were doing, so I am wondering why you felt you should organize this.
I know I am barging in a little with this comment, but please understand I am only questioning.

I didn't know what I was doing at first, I bet you didn't either. When I build, and maybe others too, i get a rough idea of what I want and change it. Ways wrong with change? And I can't see how he's not allowed it, it's and organisation. Nothing to do with the community.
Also I call dibs on most advertising :) can we talk in game about this?

I understand that this is only a question.
I have an unrelenting passion for racing in real life. I have taken the task upon myself to create this organization and it has rocketed since the release of 1.6. I have no affiliation with the rights of Opticraft or so.
Yes Hammy. We will talk in game next time we are both on
Hmm, that seems fun. I'll ask crippnfoot
This looks interesting. Time for another project!

I am very happy to announce that the OHO Headquarters will be held on the island of Domain. Domain is a paradise island and will be used for all things affiliated with the OHO. Since it is an island, I can not guarantee that horses will be there.
Work In Progress! This post will be updated as the island is built on

Hey King. I'd love to check your race course out but I can't find a valid home under your name with "city" Therefore I have to stall until I can actually see the racecourse.
Also, the 300 block radius will be scrapped as of today. Make it long as possible, or a lap course.

I will tell them that :D
I haven't had a single person sign up for the horses.
Sadly, the funding for the OHO is brutal, cuz I only have $61.
To sign your horse up it will cost a $50 fee. I'm sorry, but we need funding.
Supah_
This org. is really drooping and I'm not making income or a start at all cuz people won't really do much. Exploded at first but, I may be shutting OHO down if this continues .-.
Well fits you should add what you need like "We need wool(blue and red), Horses, Armor (horse) and see what you can do :)
Don't quit :'( it sounds super cool :D
just because you aren't getting a continues income doesn't mean that this needs to shut down, I see great potential for this, It doesn't even need to be a job or a way to make money, just a way to let people know what race tracks are on offer, where to go and things like prices and various information.
Well then, that's one thing. Updating first post now
cool
By the looks of things, the grand opening will be in two weeks. Please sign up! Free! :3

Im exited to work on this project - although i'm not all that sure what I would be doing. All the OHO staff need to get together ingame to discuss, I will happily host at Goodwood with Larko.
Let me elaborate - I'm not to sure how we will go about organising big races and competitions, but we are open to sponsers. We would like to invite you all involved to Goodwood at some point to relly discuss this.
