The crowd of contenders stands in front of a thick yellow tape line on the Old Hemisect Boardwalk. The finish line is here, explains a studious drone, gesticulating severely. The starting line is up there. All heads turn towards the highest point of the city, past mammoth construction machines, and somewhere there's an audible gulp. Grab one of the sleds offered at this fine event and head up to the top -- that up there, where you'll sled all the way back down to -- this line here. There are flag markers along the way to guide you, should you get lost. Be the first across the finish line and you take the gold. That is all. That line up there-- start. This line down here? Finish. Good luck.
OOC Rules:
This sled race takes the form of a choose-your-own-adventure. Your task is to make the right decisions to avoid obstacles and take the fastest route to the finish line! Be warned, construction on the streets of Old Hemisect makes for a dangerous journey. Your choices will determine whether you gain or lose points – the more points you have, the faster you are! At the end of the race, the troll with the most points wins.
Please write out a roleplay post per choice and submit it with the code below, describing your troll’s actions! There is a 100 word minimum per post to count. For each round you miss, you incur a point penalty of -1 point per round, so stay astute! New choices will be made available daily until the finale of the race.
FIRST ROUND PROMPT BELOW SPOILER
You find yourself at the starting line of the grand Old Hemisect raceway. The snow has fallen so thickly that beyond the first incline, there isn't much to see. On the other hand, considering the course is just a collection of steep streets, hills and abandoned obstacles, seeing more of the track won't help your nerves anyway. There hasn't been much of an effort to make a course out of Old Hemisect, and some of the new construction for Bloodfest has made it especially dangerous for any aspiring sledding champion. Construction that has been done for the race doesn't seem particularly conducive to the flow of the city, with ramps and half-pipes hastily constructed and partially blocking streets for the sake of entertainment. Entertainment and celebrating the Hemospectrum through inevitable blood sport!
Since home-made sleds are not allowed, you have to choose from a number of pre-selected vehicles before starting down the course. Which of the following suit your fancy?
1) The Danger: A sled which, like its name, promises daring escapades to its rider. It has a sleek, aerodynamic design - and is also covered in blades. It looks hard to handle in every conceivable way.
2) Ol' Trusty: Upon seeing Ol' Trusty, you're brought back to the fond days of your wigglerhood. Ol' Trusty and the comfort of its splintery wooden seat brings a warm, fuzzy feeling to your pump biscuit. These particular models look like hand-me-downs, but they don't call it Ol' Trusty for nothing!
3) Alternian Rocket Sled 3.0: You know this choice well, as it's been advertised nonstop prior to the games. Adrenaline junkies have been cooing over the A.R.S-2 for so long that this Bloodfest seems to have been the perfect place to unveil the next model. It's painted Alternian red and has a thin, spiky design. As well, it has a sizable rocket propulsion system installed into the back.
4) The Disk: Available in bright, neon colors for any blood type! The disk is sturdy and plastic with two handholds on either side. That's pretty much it. It's a disk.

You get three tries a day to construct the perfect specimen of snowtroll, bleats a small drone from the podium. The first thing you're going to do is make the rump, he explains, making enthusiastic circular motions with his hands.Then, you roll up the middle bit! Then, you roll up the head! The drone alternates between round movements and gesturing to the big open field, shimmering with fluffy white snow. Just don't forget, he reminds, if any part gets too big it'll crumble! The creator of the snowtroll with the most pleasing figure wins! The crowd shifts uncomfortably as drone makes a final snowtroll-shaped hand gesture.
OOC Rules:
Trolls try to make a perfectly proportioned snowtroll! Roll until you get as close to possible to the perfect snowtroll ratio!
A perfect snowtroll has three body parts: The rump, the torso and the head. Trolls must make the rump before the torso, and the torso before the head. The perfect rump score is a 90, the perfect torso score is a 60, and the perfect head score is a 30!
Three times per day (determined by mule posting), you can roll a 20-sided die to add points to your body part score, trying to get as close as possible to the goal score. If your score exceeds the goal score for the body part you’re currently working on, the snow will crumble, the score for that part will be reset to 0, and you’ll need to start that part again! You can move on to the next body part at any time, so long as the score is above 0. Winners will be determined by how close to perfect their snowtroll body parts are!
You must declare your choice of body part in the original post; those found altering or deleting posts to gain an advantage, as always, are subsequent to disqualification. Use the code below to keep track of your points!

A bored drone reads straight from a piece of paper, broadcasting directly into it. For this event, you'll be designing a show of affection or detestation towards that someone special in your life. Pick a quadrant and design a stirring gift. This year's Quadrant's Day designs MUST include candy and flowers, and can NOT include live explosives as that makes judging more difficult. Additionally, and as a reminder, the topics of Matespritship, Kismesitute, Moiraillegiance, Auspicism and even Oscillating quadrants are the focus of these Quadrant's Day designs. And, as well, reminds the drone, trolls without significant others are welcome to pretend that they have at least one loved one filling their empty, empty lives. That is all. May the most moving red, black or pale gift win.
OOC Rules:
Each contestant may submit a design that may be created in any medium, or a written description. Use the form below to post your entry! You may also add on additional RP beneath if you choose, for instance describing your troll, coming up with the idea and putting together the gift. Note that entries will be based on creativity and how well it fulfills the prompt, not artistic skill! This event will end on the 16th - any late entries will be disqualified.
