Hi! just a quick question: will there be an ice archery event? , since Sparkle is a crystal pony, she trained for ice archery, so i was curious 

[Maplewood]

Btw peace since your the game master could you like notify me and mmtfan1 when to do are introduced for the  games

[Peace Keeper]

@Purple : Of course. There will be ice archery. There will be other accuracy events as well

@Maplewood : Sure. I'll give the heads up, and I will give the list of events so we can prepare for them.

[Naura]

Really sorry for this having to happen, but I gotta jump out of this role play.
I have a lot of school work coming up, and I am going to drop a lot of things, one of them being this.
Sorry, but I hope the rest of you have fun.

[Peace Keeper]

Aww. Terribly sorry to hear that.
Sounds like you may not be returning anytime soon then. I'll drop your name out.

I understand the importance of school. Glad you found interest in this RP. I wish you the best in school and hope you get some awesome grades.

@Purple : Of course. There will be ice archery. There will be other accuracy events as well

Ok, I'm a little confused.  Does sparkle just compete in ice archery? Or all the events? Sry, I just got confused

[Julien999]

Well, after seen Peacekeeper on the chat. He said that All the competitors will compete in all event even if your not specialized on it. So... be prepared to those thing.

[Purple]

@Maplewood @MMTfan1

It is time to announce the welcoming to the Equestria Games introduction and preparation for Event 1

[Purple]

are we supposed to post our base times in the posts for the event? (during the dice roll part) also, im not sure if i calculated mine correctly, would it be alright if you checked it for me? sorry, and thanks

Spoiler: show

my base time is 9.78 according to the calculations i probably messed up Sparkle's speed stat is 4, and i rolled a 14

I just did the calculations, your time should be 9.83. Funny enough, that's my time as well.

[Purple]

, okie dokie, thx xD im not sure what i did wrong in the calculations the first time

[Peace Keeper]

Hehe thats a good score. Its alright, just a simple calc error. In case not everyone would like to do all the math for everyone, I will post everyone's times by OC and the time finished from fastest to slowest.

Also... SHOOT! forgot to add the World and Olympic records. Oh well... next event I'll remember to add them from here on end. Wouldn't be a surprise anymore now adding thr records that favor the OC that broke it.

I got something new guys. I have added a scoreboard of this RP in the first page of the main RP. You can check it out!

[Peace Keeper]

I have some ideas for the events that use projectile motion like the Long Jump, Hammer Toss, Hay Buck and such.

There are two different formulas I came up with. Here are the examples of 2 different formulas
Long Jump: The Farthest jumper wins.

FORMULA 1 (simple):
Speed and Strength will be used.
Roll 1-20
Starting: 5 meters
Base distance: 5m + .3*(Speed Stat) + .3*(Strength stat)
Dice roll: Base + .2(dice roll)

FORMULA 2 (complex):
Speed and Strength will be used
Roll 3 dices; 1 for final speed, 1 for final angle, and 1 for chance of foul
final speed roll 1-30
final launch angle: 1-30
Base speed: 6 meters/second
Run: start speed: 6 + .1*(Speed Stat) + .1*(Strength Stat)
Final launch speed: Run + .1*(final speed roll)
Final launch angle: 30 degrees + (angle dice)
Final distance = [(Final Speed)^2 / 9.8] *sin[2*(Final Angle)]

Both will involve another dice that will determine whether you will foul or not.
Foul if Dice roll equals to 18 or more


Let me know which formula would you prefer best

[MMTfan1]

I prefer the Formula 1 the best

[Purple]

formula 1 looks like it would be easier xD so, yeah i guess i'll vote for that one

[_BlazingInfinity]

Formula 1

[tonman3509]

Formula 1 is definitely easier to follow.

[Peace Keeper]

So its decided. Formula 1 will follow up throughout the games. Thanks for voting
