[emoji=treasure size=1] [b]Bayou Boat Race is a simulation/CYOA. Roleplaying is also welcome![/b] Participants enter a dragon which will be assigned to a team. Every day, I will roll the dice to determine how far each team went. Participants also vote each day for which dragon's special ability to use, which affects the events of the race. The team who wins at the end of the week will receive prizes.

Feel free to roleplay or just follow along![/size][/b][/color][/center] [b]Participants select one dragon to enter the race.[/b] Pick any dragon you want! A favorite perma, a pretty fodder, a sleepy hibden resident who could use some excitement... [b]OPTIONAL:[/b] You may enter with friends to create a team of up to 4 dragons. If your group has less than 4 dragons, the remaining slots will be filled with other dragons that have been entered. [b]Each friend must post their own entry form[/b] which pings all other friends in the group. [b]Entry form:[/b] [code]Username: Dragon ID #: Dragon's pronouns: Ping your teammate(s), if any:[/code] [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ek3u4Wd.png[/img] [center][size=5][b][u][font=Futura]HOW IT WORKS[/font][/u][/b][/size][/center] Every morning, I will ping everyone to announce the results for the previous round and post the dice rolls for the next round. Participants then vote (using a [url=https://forms.gle/6sK9qxdk4zfMbKi2A]Google Form[/url]) for which dragon's ability they want to use for the round. If there is a tie, I will flip a coin. If no one votes, I will randomly select an ability. It is in your team's best interest to strategically select an ability based on the race standings and dice rolls. [b]Schedule:[/b] [u]Saturday, 4/24[/u] - Participants have until rollover tonight to enter the race. [u]Sunday, 4/25 6am FRT[/u] - I will ping for round one dice rolls and voting for round one abilities. [u]Monday, 4/26 5am FRT[/u] - Deadline for voting for round one abilities. [u]Monday, 4/26 6am FRT[/u] - I will ping for results for round one, round two dice rolls, and voting for round two abilities. And so on and so forth. There will be seven rounds, so I will post final race results and distribute prizes on the following Sunday morning. [b]Anyone is welcome to participate by roleplaying[/b] a spectator, race staff member, or even a disgruntled bayou resident! Feel free to get creative. You can roleplay the dragon you entered, just be aware that I will also be describing what happens to the teams. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Ek3u4Wd.png[/img] [center][size=5][b][u][font=Futura]GAME MECHANICS AND RULES[/font][/u][/b][/size][/center] [b]Please ping me if you have any questions![/b] There are four dragons on each team and six teams in each heat. Each dragon gets a special ability based on its breed. During each round, each dragon rolls a D6. Based on these rolls, each team gets a Round Total. Each team deploys one special ability per round. The abilities are resolved in order. If there are duplicate abilities, the team which is ahead in the race standings goes first. Abilities can change individual dice rolls as well as the Round Total. The Round Total can become negative. If individual dice rolls are changed, the difference is added/subtracted to the Round Total. After the abilities are resolved, each team has a final Round Total. This is added to their running race total. If two teams have the same race total, the team that was previously ahead is considered to be ahead.

[b]Gaoler[/b] Winter Guard - One other team's ability that would Affect this team is neutralized. If any dragon on the attacking team is of the Ice element, add its current dice roll to this team's Round Total after the ability is neutralized (if there are two or more dragons, choose the highest roll). [b]Guardian[/b] Protection - Up to two other teams' abilities that would Affect this team are neutralized.

[b]Ridgeback[/b] Long Nose - All teams ahead of this one in the race standings lose 20% (rounded up/down) of their current Round Totals; these points are added to this dragon's team's Round Total.

[b]Pearlcatcher[/b] Enlightened Soul - The team's current Round Total is bumped up to the next square number (even if it is already a square number). [b]Spiral[/b] Knotted Up - The team in first place in the race standings loses 12 points unless that is this dragon's team, in which case the second place team loses 6 points. If this ability occurs in the first round, the only effect is that the team gains 3 points. (This ability Affects the other team.) [b]Veilspun[/b] Swarming Slowdown - If the team ahead of this one in the race standings doesn't have a Veilspun, it loses 5 points.

(This ability Affects the other team.) [b]Wildclaw[/b] Long Strike - The team ahead of this team in the race standings loses 3 points. The team ahead of that team loses 5 points. The team ahead of that team loses 10 points. If this ability occurs in the first round, the only effect is that the team gains 3 points. (This ability Affects the other team.) [b]Coatl[/b] Serpent Secret - Double the rolls equal to or less than the position of this team in the race standings, eg: if it is in 3rd place, double rolls of 1, 2, and 3. If it is the first round, use the round standings. [b]Fae[/b] Lucky Leap - All team mates who rolled a 1 or 2 get their rolls bumped to a 6. [b]Mirror[/b] Pack Pride - If two (or more) team members rolled the same number, they all get bumped to a 6. If two numbers are duplicated (ie: X, X, Y, Y) select the lower number to get bumped. [b]Nocturne[/b] Sneaking Through - If this team hasn't been Affected by other team's abilities this round, it gains an extra 10 points. [b]Tundra[/b] Smells Familiar - If any dragon on any team ahead or equal in the race standings has the same element, gain 12 points. If this ability occurs in the first round, the only effect is that the team gains 3 points. [b]Banescale[/b] Song of Support - This team gains as many points as is needed to overtake the team ahead of them in the race standings by 1 points. This ability has no effect during the first round. [b]Snapper[/b] Slow and Steady - If this team is in the last half of teams in the race standings, it gains as many points as is needed to pass the #3 team in the race standings by 1. If this ability occurs in the first round, the only effect is that the team gains 3 points. [b]Imperial[/b] Mighty Flight - If this team is in last place in the race standings, it uses the same Round Total as the team with the highest Round Total for this round instead of whatever it had. This ability has no effect during the first round.
