Welcome to the 6th Sornieth Winter Games, hosted by Clan Diamond Dust! It's a competition between clans from every flight to see who can come out on top and bring home the gold! Eight events will run during the Gala - enter as many as you'd like to earn tickets to the Ice Flight Gala raffles and special prizes (but to be eligible for the grand prize drawing, you need to enter at least six events).
Returning this year is "word of the day" to incorporate into your role play; if you use the word that day, you will be entered into a drawing for a bonus prize.
A brief intro to the event is below, but you can skip directly to the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2817361#post_42162844]rules[/url]. But don't forget - [b]for your entries to count, you have to post a role play in this thread AND submit a google form for [u]each[/u] event[/b].

Dragons bustle around you, finalizing details before the Winter Games start. In the past year, the booths have been touched up with a coat of paint, and there are some new vendors at the market this year.
You check into your lodging and the clerk hands you a welcome packet, which includes some tips on staying warm in the cold, instructions on how to use the in-room fire feature, and a schedule of events. Your room looks cozy with its piles of blankets and pillows and flickering candles. There's a room service menu with a list of warm beverages that can be delivered direct to your room, like Chamomew Tea and Hot Chococat.
Before heading out to the event sign-ups, you browse the Crystalline Gala brochure that was in the check-in info. There are a wide array of food options, souvenir stands, and wellness shops. A few catch your eye as possible stops this week.

Moving on to the next brochure, you check out the events you can join this year. There are showcases [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2954480/1#post_45871191]for Winter games uniform designs[/url] and [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/baz/2958313/1#post_2958313] for dragons looking to join new clans[/url], as well as many other fun-looking activities.
The Sornieth Winter Games has its own pamphlet, outlining what events you can enter and the themed prizes available this year. On the front, the expectations for competitors are clearly outlined: [i]Your clan can compete in as many or as few events as you'd like, but to be eligible for the overall medals, you need to enter at least six out of eight.[/i]
You flip through the guide and land on the section titled "Donations Accepted": [i]Entering the Winter Games is free each year, but running an event does take a lot of time away from other festival activites. If you happen to have any spare Eternal Snow or food or Sand Creepers that you would like to donate, our clan would be grateful!
But please don't feel any pressure to donate. Our goal is for everyone to be able to participate and have a good time during the festival. Good luck in the Games! Happy Gala!"[/i]
As prepared as you could be, you decide to head out to the sign-up booth and get a jump on the competition.

[b]FAQ:[/b]
[i]I missed submitting my Google form yesterday. Can I submit it late?[/i]
Yes, as long as you include the post's 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, January 30th.
[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.
[i]What if I don't have a full team of dragons for ice hockey?[/i]
Not a problem! Behind the scenes, organizers have formed teams for solo competitors with clans in the same flight.
[i]If I have entered the Winter Games five times (or more), shouldn't I be in the Hall of Fame?[/i]
Yes!! However, two things to note: 1. You get inducted after your fifth time playing. So if this year is your fifth year, then you will be inducted the next year during the Opening Ceremonies. 2. I only tracked user names, not user IDs! If you had a user name switch, you'll need to let me know so I can update my list and confim eligibility.

[LIST]
[*]You can make your role play as long as you want (within reason), but please try to post a minimum of three sentences.
[*]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 the events on the same day - you can spread your entries throughout the entire week of the Gala. Having the ability to enter the events at any time just gives participants greater flexibility with their IRL schedules.

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.

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.

You can make your role play as long as you want (within reason), but please try to post a minimum of three sentences.
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 the events on the same day - you can spread your entries throughout the entire week of the Gala. Having the ability to enter the events at any time just gives participants greater flexibility with their IRL schedules.
Example #1
Figure Skating
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.
Example #2
Luge
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.
Example #3
Ice Hockey
Time for hockey! Frost put on her equipment and stepped onto the ice. The competition was going to be tough, but she had faith in her team!
100 Raffle Tickets to Ice's out-of-flight raffle per event completed for out-of-flight participants; 10 Raffle Ticket per event completed to the in-flight raffle for Ice participants. (Tickets won't be added to the master ticket spreadsheet until the Gala ends.)
Participants who post entries in at least six events will be eligible to take home the Gold, Silver, or Bronze prize packs. A random number drawing will determine the winners.
There were also be Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners for each event, also chosen by a random number drawing at the end of the Gala.
No one will go home empty-handed! All players who do not medal will receive something cozy*, plus a participant badge. *While supplies last - winter gear or an icy companion may be substituted if inventory runs out.
Please allow up to 4 weeks for me to send all the prizes and souvenirs.

Another year, another... set of missing announcers? For once preparation had gone smoothly. All the arenas and event locations were ready to go and waiting for the competitors. But now there was an Ice/Sky/White Tundra - the same one who ran the opening schedule logistics last year - looking rather frantic and slightly irritated.
Jenara and Wishspell, the announcers for the Winter Games, hadn't checked in. The Opening Ceremonies weren't late, not yet at least, but the announcers [i]did[/i] need to show up to stick to the schedule.
After some scurrying around by attendants, Jenara and Wishspell emerged from a nearby tent, carrying hot, steaming mugs and looking relaxed. The aroma of mint tea lingered in the air as they walked to the podium.
The tundra frowned, vaguely disapproving, but quickly moved on to the next item on her checklist. There was no time to waste. A loud chime sounded in the background. The announcers took to the podium as athletes began parading into the area and settling down on pillowed seating areas.
