Mountain Air
Posted: Wed Dec 19, 2012 4:27 pm
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)

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.
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.
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:
Snowflake hairclip: Offspring will have the glacies trait.
Reindeer hairclip: Offspring will have antlers.
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
