It's a competition between clans from every flight to see who can come out on top and bring home the gold! Seven events will run during the Gala - enter up to [b]five[/b] to earn tickets to the Ice Flight Gala raffles and special prizes. [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ovJPIry.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ovJPIry.png[/img][/center] [i]This year there are even more booths to navigate to find the sign up area - a Winter Carnival happens to coincides with the Gala and space is at a premium. In the distance, you can see the luge track and a huge ice castle being built. But before you get distracted with all the sights and sounds of the festival, you need to enter your clan into the Sornieth Winter Games, hosted by Clan Diamond Dust. A slightly bored looking Spiral manning the information booth points you down the midway. The short stroll makes for some enjoyable sightseeing on your way to the Winter Games check-in area (example booths and merchandise show below).

You pass the usual winter gear vendors, supplying warm outerwear for those dragons who underestimated the cold. Finally you approach the wooden Winter Games hut and notice a big NO MAGIC ALLOWED sign tacked onto the side. You wonder what happened last time... A cheerful, energetic Spiral greets you at the booth, "Hello! Take a minute and look over this brochure. Your clan can compete in five of our seven events through the course of the week. Let me know ones you want to choose!" [/i] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ovJPIry.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ovJPIry.png[/img][/center] The short version: pick an event, write a role play post as one of your clan's dragons (either preparing for it or competing in it), note what page your RP is on or copy the post link, then fill out the Google Form so your entry can be counted. But please read the rules below for additional details!

Can I submit it late?[/i] - Yes, as long as you include the post's correct page number or link, you can submit the form any time during the week. However, as I need to submit the number of tickets to the raffle coordinators on Sunday morning, all posts and forms must be completed by 23:59 FR time on Saturday, February 3rd. [i]Can I do pairs figure skating or does it have to be individual?[/i] I'll leave it up to you! All entries in the category will be judge the same (random.org), but you can compete as a single dragon or a pair.

[*]The post can be about your dragon's preparation for the event, or waiting nervously to start, or actually participating. Up to you! [*]Please don't have your dragons "win" or "lose" the event in your post. You can have them on top of the leader board or have a bad run that initially puts them at the bottom (or not mention it at all), but I do need some flexibility for when the winners are chosen. [*]Participants are banned from using magic to win or cheating in other ways. Creativity is fine :-) [*]You can enter the same dragon every day or rotate among clan members. Have fun! [*]Don't feel the need to enter all five events on the same day - you can spread your entries throughout the entire week of the Gala. Having the ability to enter five events at any time just gives participants greater flexibility with their IRL schedules. [/LIST] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ovJPIry.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/ovJPIry.png[/img][/center] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/I3L4euH.png[/img][/center] [i]Example #1[/i] Figure Skating [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=12320537] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/123206/12320537_350.png[/img] [/url] Lily stepped up to the booth and spoke to the dragon behind the counter. "I'm here to register for Figure Skating." The events were running concurrently this year, due to travel schedules, so dragons had to pick a time slot to compete. Since she had signed up early, Lily had a lot of flexibility in choosing when she would do her routine in front of the judges. As there were so many other activities during the Gala, she opted to go on Day 1. Having practiced in the offseason, the Skydancer felt fully prepared, although it certainly helped that this was her home rink and she didn't need to have any training sessions to get used to it. [i]Example #2[/i] Luge [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=12320535] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/123206/12320535_350.png[/img] [/url] Willow pulled on her safety goggles - although she had a need for speed, the Spiral practiced strict safety first measures. As she looked down the course, a huge grin spread across her face. Nothing was more exciting than racing down the icy track, taking the turns at breakneck speeds, feeling the cold air rush by her. The starting pistol jolted her into action. She flew down the track, avoiding even tiny errors that might hurt her place in the standings. Now, she just had to wait for her competitors to finish so she could truly see how she did.

Each day we'll be doing a recap of the day's events, including a look at some of the other Gala activities. Today, we're gathering for the Opening Ceremonies, which matches this year's Gala theme - the Winter Carnival![/size] [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7165160][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/71652/7165160.png[/img][/url][nextcol][size=4]Acrobats lead the way, followed by the atheletes who have already arrived! We'll have atheletes joining throughout the week. This year's competition schedule is flexible to accommodate those traveling dragons and other Gala activities.[/size] [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=8023219][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/80233/8023219.png[/img][/url][nextcol][size=4] You may think that Ice Clans would have an advantage in winter sports, but given the amount of training put in by other flights, the field is pretty even! You can check out the Hall of Fame to see how the medal count has shaken out in previous years.[/size] [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=7165160][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/71652/7165160.png[/img][/url][nextcol][size=4]To enter events, each clan should choose a dragon to represent their clan (can be the same one every time or different dragons for different events) - be sure to follow the rules, especially filling out the Google form, or your entry won't be counted. Any dragons caught trying to use magic or special abilities will be disqualified. We hope you enjoy this week's activities! [/size] [/columns]
