PLAYER: Dana & Alex
CHARACTERS INVOLVED: Baren Kumou (crudest) & Carmen Sandiego (doitrockapella)
PLOT: Hello friends it's time for Recolle Ninja Warrior finally. Alex and I have talked this over for the past few weeks and now I'm finally here to throw it out there!

So this will be an entirely player-run event with motivations being "why not" and funding coming from the Sandiego Foundation's inexplicable wealth. However we might ask that Retrospec gets sort of involved in whichever way you'd like because we'd like to request that winners of the Ninja Warrior course be given freebie memories!

For the actual details: there will be two options for entry in the Ninja Warrior Competition! First the Team Option will allow for player teams of three to five or the Solo Option will just have one person declared the Recollé Ninja Warrior. ICly the winner will be determined by who gets the fastest time through the course, since theoretically all characters might be able to complete it but not everyone's a winner whoops. OOCly, this'll be determined by RNG of course. There will be one winning team and one winning solo contestant.

To help explain why characters might be slowed down on the course even though they're incredibly athletic, this is Not Your Average Ninja Warrior. The challenges are still incredibly difficult of course, and Alex will have a mockup to go into the actual posted log for the event, but there will be Additional Penalties added at random. The water that contestants fall in will now be filled with those kissing fish that normally are only in spas or characters will have to dodge a t-shirt cannon filled with Carmen Sandiego t-shirts. If there are special requests to help with regains, we can also try to accommodate those!

The event will be announced to everyone on October 31st on the plotting post/OOC comm and from there sign-ups for both teams and solo competitors will open. Players are free to plot and sign up to be RNGed on a team if they want to get together with strangers. These sign-ups will remain open until November 16th - players who want to randomize their team will be notified of their teams when sign-ups close. At some point between October 31st and the log, there will be an IC network post for publicity. The IC log for the event will be posted on November 17th where winners will be RNGed and announced on the log.

NOTES: how long has it taken me to actually get this event request in even though i've been talking about it forever
