Welcome to the 7th 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/2970801#post_46358887]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.

All the rage this year for the Gala? Ice farming. Well, more accurately, trying to run a cozy little farm in the snow. Surprisingly, many clans pulled off the seemingly impossible (likely due to well-made greenhouses), and all sorts of Gala goodies were labeled "locally grown!" Food stands were advertising "farm to table!" dining and serving regional favorites, like Winter Brussels Sprouts, Winter's Delight, and Winterbelle. (You sense a theme.)
It appeared that most visiting dragons had also joined in the gardening craze, as many were carrying garden tools and plants or wearing harvest apparel. The booths this year were decorated to look like a small village and, while the snow was typical, there seemed to be extra plants and potted pine trees as decorations.

Hmm, the Winter Games sounds like it might be fun - and bringing a medal back to your clan [i]would[/i] be icing on the Gala cake. But...
"Is that where the arrows go?"
The tundra looks down. "Oh, hmm... not sure where the labels are. You're a bit early, I guess. But if you follow them, they'll lead you right to the Sornieth Winter Games sign-up booth!"
The arrows direct you around a few booths, across a row of food stands, and along some gardening displays until you find a well-marked Winter Games booth.
On the sign out 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]
There's a small sign on the side of the booth you notice: [i]"Donations Accepted": 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![/i]
[i]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]
Taking a deep breath, you get in line and start to mentally prepare for the competition. Would you join all eight events or the minimum to be eligible for the overall medals or just one or two you enjoy most?
Let the Winter Games begin!

[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 the last day (Saturday) of the Gala.
[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.

[*]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.

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 from the garden*, 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.

[*]And a final heartfelt thank you to LadyCake for designing the Sornieth Rings & Micheru for designing the Gold - Silver - Bronze medals way back in 2016 & Thoracosaurus for the Clan Medal recolor. Who knew we'd be running this long back then? [emoji=gaoler star size=1]

Jenara and Wishspell, the announcers for the Winter Games, were NOT late this year. WinterRose, the opening games logistics coordinator, made sure their reporting time was [i]much[/i] earlier this year. No last minute worries wondering if they'd show up on time.
The decorations on and around the stage were full of natural elements - fruits, vegetables, flowers, plant - mixed with snow and frost that made everything sparkle in the sun. Although not [i]quite[/i] as cozy as last year, the atmosphere was still very comfortable and welcoming.
When the stadium was filled up with fans, clanmates, and festival goers, a loud chime sounded in the background. The announcers took to the podium as contestants began arriving in the Opening Ceremony parade of athletes.

Welcome to the Sornieth Winter Games, hosted by Clan Diamond Dust! I'm Jenara, one of the announcers for this event, returning for my [b]seventh[/b] year of hosting duties. Ice flight farmers and gardeners are out in full force this year, with tasty samples available in the festival booths.
