Booo... I was asleep all day and missed the opening ceremony. ;-;


Is it too late to join a team, by the way? My pony, Silver Trot, is a unicorn, and I'd love to participate with him in some of the games. :3

As ponies are saying, you can feel free to show up to the events and join a team.  You can also practice on your own ahead of time.  The team Captains are:

Ponydale: Festive Cheer
Crystal Kingdom: Woven

The first events are at 12PM and 9PM GMT tomorrow at Midway Village so feel free to show up.


Also yes, we do fear a greater dragon attack on the Games and we need all the ponies to help defend and keep and eye out for this threat.

I'll be in the teleport race tomorrow, but can provide some security during the relay with either Chrome or one of my pegasus characters.

Mike Dragon

Very well then! I will try to show up for the relay race and assist with whatever else might be necessary. :)

I will try to provide security too for tomorrow, i´m going to wear the moonlight armor just in case :) we should have some ponies to patrol the area :)

Even without dragons, there will still be that diamond dog camp and lantern monsters to deal with on the 2nd half of the course.

Holiday Cheer

Yes it was my thought that if any ponies who weren't participating in the race wanted to battle the dogs/lanterns to help out the racers that would be amazing. 

I look forward to seeing everypony later today.  Please check out Pumpkin Glow's adventures thread on here for more information about dragon attacks.

A little late and I apologize, I will do better with rules clarifications in the future, but here is the info for the events today:


For the later session please meet in Midway Village at 9PM GMT.  The All Team Relay will begin 15 minutes after that time:

1. Earth Pony on hoof to the wheat farm area.
2. Pegasus on wing following the roads to the Cloudopolis gates.
3. Unicorn on hoof or teleports back to Midway.

No shortcuts, bunny hopping, performance enhancing items, or other cheating.


Following this, we will head to the Pumpkin Farm for the Unicorn Teleport Race:

Unicorns teleport from one spot to another in order to get around.

1. No moving is allowed except for turning on the spot or adjusting the camera.
2. The competitors must at the least teleport to each of the 4 largest structures on the farm. 
3. If a competitor falls to the ground, they must run back to the start location and begin their lap again.
4. The race will consist of three laps around the farm.


For the route maps please see the planning topic.  Hope to see you there!  X3

  :facehoof:  Nuts I missed the opening ceremony, is there any chance that it would be on youtube or similar? also is it too late to join a team? depending on what goes on today will determine if I make the race this evening.

Holiday Cheer

You can join a team any time.  Just feel free to show up at any event.

I know Jet has a video up of the Opening Ceremony.  It's called Equestria Games Monday! for some reason.  Wordsmith and Lens Flare also did videos and are working on uploading them.

Quote from: Holiday Cheer on 2018 Jul 08, 16:30:43From the meeting we had earlier today here is the information you need to know on the Equestria Games.  Please vote in the poll to help us set the week of the Games.

The Games will kick off with an Opening Ceremony where the winners of the Photo Contest will sit on the Thrones and any Foals that want to perform a flag ceremony to earn points for their team will be given the chance to do that.  We will welcome everypony to the Games and lay out the event schedule.

The existing teams as of right now are Ponydale and Cloudopolis but we would like at least one more and you can join any of the existing teams too. 

The events for the Games with maps of the routes are shown below, note that the Unicorn Teleport Race will be one of two courses and the final has not been determined yet:


All-Team Events:

Heartlands Relay Race
Stick to the paths, no bunny hopping or shortcuts. Race will start and end at Midway Village. First pony will run to the second pony, second to the third who will complete the race. Each pony will be a different species, IE earth, pegasus and unicorn in that order.

I feel that this one needs some clarification.  The race was intended to be run as follows:

1. Earth Pony on foot to the wheat farm area.
2. Pegasus on wing following the roads to the Cloudopolis gates.
3. Unicorn on foot or teleports back to Midway.

No shortcuts, bunny hopping, performance enhancing items, or other cheating.

[/url]
 
Heartlands Cross-Country Race
A one-lap free-for-all race around the Heartlands against everyone else, win points for yourself and for your team by finishing first, second or third.

[/url]
 
Heartlands PVP Pillow Tag
Two teams face off in the PVP arena and 'tag' eachother with pillows. If someone is tagged, they're out. Last team standing wins.

Earthie Events:

Crystal Kingdom Hoof-Race
Two laps of the outer ring, stay on the road, don't use the sidewalks. Staying on the sidewalk for longer than 5 seconds or going out even further results being disqualified. No bunnyhopping, Also, slowing down the race by not allowing runners to hop makes it easier for judges to oversee the race.  Start and finish are by the hospital.
 


Heartlands Triathalon
A three-pony relay race across the Heartlands.  I apologize for changing this again but it's going back to all Earth Ponies with a slight route modification.  The race will consist of a running portion, a climbing portion, and a swimming portion in THAT new order.

Starts in Midway with the first pony running along the road until the crater. The second pony will meet them at the crater and climb the spiral  structure and until they reach the highest rope.  They then cross the rope, where at the end they jump down and head to the river. The third pony will then race down the river and finish at the tree near to the farm.
 




Unicorn Events:

Obstacle Course
Unicorns do three laps around the obstacle course, gaining points for clearing each obstacle. Penalty points will be given for running off-course or failing to clear a jump.


 
Heartlands  Teleportation Race
Unicorns teleport from one spot to another in order to get around.  The farm route has been declared as the final track.

1. No moving is allowed except for turning on the spot or adjusting the camera.
2. The competitors must at the least teleport to each of the 4 largest structures on the farm. 
3. If a competitor falls to the ground, they must run back to the start location and begin their lap again.
4. The race will consist of three laps around the farm.





Pegasus Events:

Cloudoseum Air Show
In teams of no less than two and no more than six, pegasi put together a show that has a maximum of five sequences. Teams should give themselves a name and also become comfortable with using the 'party' feature, a group chat tab that will allow up to six users to talk amongst themselves.
Sequences are counted from the moment the first pegasus takes flight to where the last pegasus lands. Any moves or maneuvers can be used as long as team members can make it to a rest point without emptying their energy.
Performances will be judged by four selected ponies and points will be awarded on creativity, ability to perform and interactivity with the crowd. Their scores will be between 1 - 10 and will add up to a final score.
Penalties will be given if ponies leave the Cloudoseum space, fall below the clouds, perform out of sync or if team members are excluded from a sequence / don't turn up.
Crowds can choose to sit where they please but are advised to use a route at the back of the Cloudoseum to climb up onto the roof, which allows access of the top bunk of clouds. Earth ponies can jump onto one particular cloud at the bottom bunk if they choose to, where they can maneuver to the clouds on opposite sides.
 
Flight Race
Pegasi race against eachother using the map provided and end in the cup next to the flight ring statue. Crowds can sit in the buildings either side of the race track.

1. EDIT TO THE ROUTE: Instead of making the turn half way through the second lap, just make three complete laps around and through the rings and end in the cup on the statue.
2. When taking off please stay on the runway until the end then make the sharp left turn.
3. Fly through all loops including the loop of the statue.
4. You may fly above or below the cloud bridge, but be aware if you stay above it you must stay outside of the buildings and yellow flags so as not to give yourself an unfair advantage.
 




Moving this over here for clarification of the rules and guides to maps for those that need it

Don't give up on us yet!  Please come back tomorrow. 

To everypony on behalf of the Games Committee, I want to apologize for the delay and eventually cancellation of today's events in the Heartlands.  There was an issue with the dryads that was causing a massive lag spike and the game devs are working to fix it as we speak.  This said, we will be moving the schedule around to give them the maximum amount of time to work on it.

Tomorrow's events will be the Cloudopolis Events, so please meet at the Cloudopolis Flight School at 12PM GMT (Early Session Flight Race) or 9PM GMT (Late Session Flight Race and Airshow).  We hope to see you there and hopefully things will be much better.  Thank you all for your patience, let's make the Games amazing and a memorable experience for all.

No worries, these things happen -- we know it wasn't your fault! Thanks for being honest about all this, and for being so quick to address the issue; can't wait to enjoy the rest of the week's events!!!
Come visit the Waterfall Cave in Cantermore! We've got books!

I'm willing to bet the Dryads in Everfree and Brambles have the same problem which is why there's lag there too.

Mike Dragon

If it's a script, it's probably at a mob-level and not area-level, so if it can get fixed to the actual mob in one area, it should work in all areas. I could be wrong.

Due to all the lag issues incurred on Monday in the Heartlands, the Cross Country and All Team Relay events will now be rerouted to Ponydale.  We are looking into new routes for other events.  Please stand by for these and for updated maps.



We are still going to attempt the pillow tag PVP tournament tomorrow in the Heartland PVP area.  Meet in Midway at 9PM GMT.
