Welcome to Virtual India!
Almost 40.000 boats have finished the second leg of the Virtual Ocean Race and thousands are soon making port in Cochin. It has been an exciting passage after again a nail biting start.
Before we start our third leg to Singapore we would like to update all of you about the status of the game and the huge impact we're making on the sailing community around the world!
Where are we?
We're all spending so much time on the virtual waters, staring at the ever-to-slow-moving boats, that you would almost forget there's more out there. To show you there's more we will give you the superfast quick tour on steroids of where we are right now.
Well we're in India, also known as God's own country. And it's a crowded country. 16.93% of the world population lives here. That's about 800 Million mouths more to feed than we have right now in the United States.
Its also the largest democracy in the world, famous for the Taj Mahal, holy cows and one of the most remarkable people of the last century: Mahatma Ghandi.
So while you're virtually here take a virtual look around it's worth it.
Official VORG Tees
By popular demand we're working hard to realise the Official Volvo Ocean Race Game Tees.
Based on the results of the poll on the website we will design and sell three versions of the shirt. The different taglines are:
And of course a game logo etc. As soon as we have established all the facts about the T-shirt we will let you know more.
Preparation for leg 3
As we did with the last lag we want to give everybody some rest like the real teams have before heading to Singapore. Therefore we will close the race two days before the start of leg 3 and will teleport all remaining ships to Cochin. The course to Singapore promises to be a daunting one. There are a lot of islands and coastal lines to stay away from so please pay attention to your heading.
There will be another Newsletter send out to you before the start of Leg 3. We'll announce new sponsors, bigger prizes and more details about the course to follow!
Stand by on channel 16 for further updates!
Cheers,
The Volvo Ocean Race Game Team
UnitedGames & Many Players.
