Mountain Air

Post by silvermoondragon »

Happy holidays! This month's race takes us to the mountain tops, but not to race in the conventional style. This month the racers will be relying on a toboggan to get them to the finish.

New to Racing or just want to refresh yourself on the rules and how it works? (rules this month are a little different, see below)
Check out this thread: http://www.samanayrs.net/forum/viewtopi ... =43&t=2333
Don't own a Samanayr but still want to participate?

The Race

Mountain Air

This is a toboggan course, Samanayrs will be choosing sleds to race on. Samanayrs must stay on/in the toboggan while racing

There are 10 spots open for this race.


Special Rules

This race involves your Samanayr racing on a toboggan of choice. In your racing application you will choose 1 of the 3 available toboggans based on the stats of the toboggan.
Speed: How fast the toboggan can go once at top speed
      1 = roll of 1,2,3
      2 = roll of 2,3,4,5
      3 = roll of 4,5,6
Acceleration: How fast your toboggan reaches top speed
      1 = 0 turns
      2 = 1-2 turns
      3 = 3-4 turns
Maneuverability: How well you can avoid obstacles
      1 = x2 more difficult
      2 = normal difficulty
      3 = x2 less difficult
The race will still have the usual layout with obstacles. Currently, traits have no effect on tobogganing or the obstacles your Samanayr will come across on the race. If a racer gets stuck on an obstacle, the toboggan must accelerate once more to reach top speed.

These are the toboggans available to choose from:

Wooden Toboggan
Speed: 1
Acceleration: 3
Maneuverability: 2

Round Plastic Toboggan
Speed: 3
Acceleration: 2
Maneuverability: 1

Metal Ski Toboggan
Speed: 2
Acceleration: 1
Maneuverability: 3

So for example, a Samanayr on the round plastic toboggan would take 1-2 turns to reach top speed, and would then move forward with rolls of 4, 5 or 6; however, when hitting an obstacle, the Samanayr would have 3x harder chance at getting past.


Prizes

The new race type brings with it some brand new prizes! Three new varieties of hairclips are available for this race, with one of each available as the prize pool:
Image Snowflake hairclip: Offspring will have the glacies trait.
Image Reindeer hairclip: Offspring will have antlers.
Image Holly hairclip: Offspring will have florae trait, with sprigs of holly.

First place

- First pick from the hairclips(snowflake, reindeer, or holly).
- One modiem of choice
- One random modiem

Second place

- Second pick from the hairclips(snowflake, reindeer, or holly).
- One modiem of choice

Third place

- The hairclip left over
- One random modiem

Oh and just because I'm a bit confused - Mountain Air doesn't mean that they have to be winged? Since its toboggans? So like little wingless guys or wingers can both enter? XD sorry I just got confused... XD

@ amazon - yep, these hairclips are just like the others and are only equippable to the Sam that one them.

@ SilverDapples - I was just trying to create a creative title for the race, kind-of like fresh air, except it's mountain air... So yes, any type of Samanayr can race on the toboggans!

Ah, wonderful! Poor aquatic... I already sent me tobogganing hopeful in, but Flare still gave me a look that I think said even thinking about it would cause him to go find a real lionfish to stab me with. XD The others are just hiding, except for Surge who I think would have considered it if not for the whole cold thing...

Can I suggest that that poor sledding Aquatic become a prize in the future? XD Just as is? We could name him "Scribble/Doodle of the Ridiculous Suggestion"

or, something. XD

Ooh, I almost forgot to check the forums to see the racers. *cheers for Thunder* Now I just have to remember to come back and watch them go slipping and sliding down the mountain!
