@Jeevas sorry for the typos, it seems like you understood and answered me! Thank you for clearing things up, it all makes sense now.

@sp580s Glad to help!

The crowd cheers as the teams celebrate, mope, or just catch their breath. A modest set of sparklers appear from behind each platform as a final sign of jubilation for the completion of the game. Brightbert, unable to contain himself, springs from the pulpit and excitedly figure-eights over the display, his primal eyes adding to the light show. Xileram, the Nocturne mechanic from before, slinks out from who knows where to join Glare near the pulpit. The Coatl is eerily quiet in comparison to the chaos unfolding, but she seems to display just a glimmer of pride in her eye. Finally, the platform lights dim and the crowd calms down ever so slightly. Brightbert slows his frantic flight to a crawl and slowly descends to the pulpit, microphone in hand.[/i] [columns] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/48264273][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/482643/48264273p.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] [color=transparent]aaa[/color] [nextcol] "[color=olivedrab][b]Woud you look at that, folks!

She also gestures to a jewelry case that Xileram rolls out onto the floor in front of the stage, reminding everyone that these Pearlcatcher necklaces are available for everyone who entered the race.[/i] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/vUM6Utr.png[/img] [code] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3247106][img]https://i.imgur.com/vUM6Utr.png[/img][/url] [/code] [img]https://i.imgur.com/mf0ObOH.png[/img] [code] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3247106][img]https://i.imgur.com/mf0ObOH.png[/img][/url] [/code][/center] [columns] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/48264273][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/482643/48264273p.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] [color=transparent]aaa[/color] [nextcol] "What a lovely ending to a stunning event. Now, I know we've been in here a while, and it seems like the festivities outside have since gone quiet... but remember, there's always next year, and a new race is bound to pop up somewhere! Now, make sure to exit this historic chapel in a neat and orderly fashion and -" [/columns] [b]**CRASH**[/b] [i]A cacophony rings out through the ornate marble building as suddenly all three glass platforms shatter simultaneously, revealing a pool of molten fire underneath. The glass is quickly melted and absorbed by the flames, along with any mechanical wiring that may have been used.[/i] [columns] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/48264273][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/482643/48264273p.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] [color=transparent]aaa[/color] [nextcol] "Weaver's radiance! What happened?!?!" [/columns] [i]It's pandemonium among the crowd for a few moments as they take in the situation, but it grows quiet as Glare takes the pulpit, a slight smile on her face. [/i] [columns] "Thank you, everyone, who came to spectate and participate. I do apologize for the scare, but I must keep my trade secrets. If you wish to commission my services, my contact information is inscribed on the back of your necklaces."

She approaches a very stunned Xileram and hands him the gems before taking off through one of the open chapel windows. The Nocturne, in turn, shakes his head in disbelief and disappears into the crowd. This was just a huge marketing ploy, wasn't it?[/i] [columns] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/48264273][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/portraits/482643/48264273p.png[/img][/url] [nextcol] [color=transparent]aaa[/color] [nextcol] "I'm going to have to learn to choose better cohosts... " [/columns] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/XVWh6l2.png[/img][/center] Thank you everyone for your participation! And an extra special thank you to everyone who decided to liven up the event with role-play. @/2BDamned also contributed some art to the event featuring their team, so go check out Heat A's thread to see it! I really do appreciate everyone sticking around through all the delays and bumps in the road with this event. I'm truly ashamed that it took so long to complete. We're currently working on some back-end stuff to hopefully make everything smoother. I may also be incorporating some helpers for the next race I run. I just don't have the same energy this year as I did last year, and really should have asked for help when I needed it. If you're interested in play testing or future games like this one, add yourself to the pinglist [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f87Mgdsv6a3FMb0pFkeSb_feYgJHXoA7JWiDUDRmcDM/edit?usp=sharing]here[/url]! I've also created an [url=https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSehBVOjKAAW6G9nwgvCSV4i-0P-PSqSM2xgGtsGtRU8RiQx8w/viewform?usp=sf_link]assessment form[/url] so you all can tell us how I did and to field any suggestions you might have! It's totally anonymous, so feel free to be as honest as you like! Prizes will be sent out in the next 24 hours or so, and I hope you all had a very belated happy BSJ 2023!

Thanks for hosting, had a lot of fun!

Thank you for all your hard work!

Thanks @Jeevas!

I will imagine the stained glass images we lit up were something like those Imp/PC necklaces - they are beautiful!
