Flight Rising Discussion

@Wisdum

It is something I've thought about.

Ultimately, though, it would be up to the people who want to compete to campaign and spread their own propaganda in their flight to show off their skills and encourage people to vote for them.

Yaw member the Neopets Olympics? I wish the site did something like that

ohh that sounds fun, I would probably join in with one of my freak dragons

I would 100% participate in the Fairground Olympics lol, especially GnG!

I'm with @/Wisdum on the whole popularity contest thing, but this sounds super interesting regardless! I'll be cheering on the wind rep if it happens

@Cyrith

(Hi Cyrith!! Hows the guild?)

I’ve given my own thoughts on this problem in my own reply to Wisdum, but there would also (hopefully) be a representative per event! To broaden the competition and allow for more opportunities for lesser known players more skilled in certain categories! (The number of total events would be kept somewhat low, id think)

I too would also be more supportive of a different method of choosing representatives... Maybe RNG/dice rolls, maybe there could be some kind of qualifying round, idk.

Ultimately though if you choose to do this, it would be your event and up to you how you want to do things, and I do think it sounds like a fun idea!

Idea for an art challenge, if this takes off - animate your dragon running / flying around obstacles / jumping over bars? Maybe someone draws the course and artists can take any section of it and animate on it?

If I'm getting the gist of this right, there would be different categories that we could vote on In-Flight to enter? An artist, a grinder, etc who we think would have the best chance at taking home the gold? In a way it does sound like a popularity contest, but that seems to be the point: Whoever would be the best at what they do to have the best chance at winning? It would be voluntary so no worry of forced entry by popular vote.

Would this be a collab with each Flights Dom team or would there be like, a sign up for anyone who wants to host an event? If it's mainly put on by 1 or 2 Flights would that mean they get the proceeds? Would each Flight be encouraged to host an event to keep it equal?

Sorry I've been brainstorming about a separate topic and brain go brrrrrr questions haha

@TagonDramer

OOh yes thats definitely an idea! Animating takes a while, so maybe not purely from scratch or a drawing of an obstacle course... maybe a few storyboards set up for different breeds that they can pick from?
