Back With A Bang!

i'm sure you all thought that 50 was bad enough. and 70 was out of the question. well, Spotty and I have discussed, and we are continuing foo races to race100. This is GUARANTEED -- meaning, no matter what, those awful races will continue until AT LEAST race100. After that point, we plan to make foo races until there is absolutely Zero (0) public interest in them. Right now, we have some foo races cooked up that will really knock your socks off. Expect a Foo Races publicity server up occasionally, and also expect some races to be publically shown in their beta form. We have some cute holiday ideas for Foo Races, too. For example, we plan a Foo Races dedicated server for the whole month of December. There will likely be some 'create your own foo race' contests, too. As you can see, Foo Races are coming back with quite a bang. The whole Fooruman thing is coming back, stronger even than it was in the beginning. Fooruman now has different outfits, giving him different powers. For example, in race34, currently under construction, Fooruman becomes a Jedi. This gives him the power to 'use the Force'. Police Fooruman, Pirate Fooruman, and Astronaut Fooruman are also just a few of the Foorumans in store for you. But Foo Races aren't going to be entirely based on Fooruman; quite the contrary. We are making some new challenges, new characters, and Unfooruman is likely to show up quite a bit. Also, if all goes as planned, there will be MANY mini-series' within Foo Races. In other words, a series of about 3 races in a row that follow the same plot. We believe this will allow us to develop the characters more, and maybe even have some characters removed. Foo Races will, towards the end, seem to follow the style of an all-out war. Fooruman and Black Ninja become powerful allies, whereas Spotty and Unfooruman band together to try and defeat Fooruman and his forces. There will be many mission-based races. In other words, in one race you might be required to destroy yet another Castle Foo to aid Unfooruman, and in some you may be sent out by Fooruman to crush Spotty. Only in the end will it be clear which side is the winning side. We have quite a few Foo Race authors. If you think you've got something that's good enough to be a Foo Race, contact me and we'll talk. But no guarantees that your race will be included. Lastly, I want to thank all the people who have made Foo Races so far. Thanks go out to Spotty, Violet, Trafton, KJazz, EvilMike, and, of course, myself. Hopefully the Foo Race project will not be once again abandoned. Please leave your thoughts.

AHAHAHAHAHA
foo races will NEVER be on j2o ;p
you foos would ALL abuse them. the point of foo races is that they are horribly annoying, with 0 eye-candy for the most part. The whole point behind foo races is to be stupid, to make you laugh a bit, and to insult Sal as much as possible.
and you can make foo race fangames if you want, but there are....a few being made. not sure i can release any info on that.
