HELLO MODS I'M BACK. After hashing things out with Alex re: dates and structure, here's what we've got!
A ) That's super fine and we were planning on doing a sponsoring option so characters who wouldn't actively participate in the physicality of the competition can still throw their hat in. Team coaches, sponsors, cheerleaders, etc etc. Come and join the wild ride if you so choose.
B ) That works fine for us! One small question for clarification: does every participating character who runs the course get a 10-20 point item? Is this item contingent on course completion or is it like a participation trophy? Just so that we know so we can be clear as possible for the plot post!
C & D ) YOU'RE RIGHT and that totally slipped my mind since we hashed out dates way back when! Here's the new proposed timeline that we've got:
November 2nd: OOC Plotting Post goes live on the log! All details will be available and we're hoping to just give this a little room between the IC Retrospec Post and the Event Log. Please let us know if this works for you or if you'd like it positioned after the Event Log - we're flexible. November 4th: IC Network Announcement! This is both so players can just slam in and ICly hash out plans for teams immediately as well as comment on sponsors. We'll talk about selling tickets to the event and other IC mechanics so that players can get involved. November 11th: IC Catch-All Training log! This will be open all month and include prompts for training on the course, but leaving some surprises for the actual competition so it's not repetitive, and generally allow for that team-building and bonding so teams can play together. November 10th, 17th, 24th: Players who want to RNG teams and sign up for teams at random are free to do so throughout the month but we'll be assigning teams and making them up every Friday. Teams can then roll back to the above training log as their leisure up until the actual event. This is so that people can sign up at their leisure but hopefully no one gets left behind! November 24th: The Official Ninja Warrior Log! An option in sign-ups is for players who, if they choose, can be assigned a specific obstacle to epically eat shit fail. Otherwise it's a free for all and players will get to decide who makes it through the course.
Characters are expected to run through the course without magic and using magic/abilities will be assigned stupid penalties. Some obstacles might look a little impossible. We'll create variation so that it's not a walk in the park for anybody. c:
Hopefully this all sounds okay! Thanks for working with us on this, mods.
