halofan303 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 well this certainly will be interesting!!especially with all the factors involved with the race, and how there will be spectators as well,i can only hope my character gets approved in time, either to cheer or race either one but out of curiosity,are non approved characters going to be allowed to cheer/spectate?

Prrrrooooooobably not as to avoid confusion for the staff on who has and hasnt been approved; but if you've got an app in the works right now and its a functional character and your putting time into it, then I imagine it will be approved long before the race is over- so they could always cheer from whatever point on the race is at.

Hippo Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 I was re-reading the awesome OP in this thread fifty million times and I have another comment/question/suggestion.If a roll of the dice between 1-6 determines the pace of your character (without the quality post thingy, anyways), is there a way we can see those rolls before it's 'section' so that we can write based on our speed?In other words, it wouldn't make sense if Applejack lit an acme rocket to propel herself to the lead, and then she rolls a one. However, if I know she rolls a one, I can write about how she tried to use acme rocket but blew up twice instead of propel forward.Also, it would be nice to have a real time leadersboard so that we know which ponies we have to trip in order to get ahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hoss1 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hmmm quick Q, will there be a sign-up roster posting for participants before race time, or just post in th race when it appears? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss_Hoss1 Posted September 3, 2011 Report Share Posted September 3, 2011 Oh yeah, is it just one post per leg, or a constant back and forth for as long as the players can post? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyLittlePonyTales Posted September 4, 2011 Report Share Posted September 4, 2011 Oh yeah, is it just one post per leg, or a constant back and forth for as long as the players can post?You may post as many times as you like, but no double posting.

But, I'll look at into options in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tempest Rime Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Rather than RPing your score for the current leg, you could look at your score in the previous leg as a reference. After all, everyone starts evenly, it won't be until the second leg where ponies will really start falling behind or pulling ahead.I'm more curious about the actual finish line itself. Whoever wins will want to be able to post their triumphant crossing of the finish line, but we'll need to know who won before that happens. Will there be a 'crossing the finish line'/'post-race wrap up' section for after the actual race posts conclude? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otsdarva Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 This looks like so much fun. I'm enjoying watching it. I was hoping to join in as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davroth Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 We wont know our scoring, though, before it's over, right?I don't think its a bad thing, since it keeps you motivated, even if you roled a 1 the last round or something.edit: me and my big mouth..
