Racing Guide


General Rules

  1. Races are just that - one or more characters racing one another and trying to get to some location faster than another.

  2. In an official race, you must be actively trying to race an opponent, whether on land or water. We highly encourage creativity in these posts, so long as you're actively trying to race.

  3. When you initiate an official race, you must post the race form that can be found on your character's profile. You cannot add anything that hasn't been added by staff (post in Maintenance if anything is missing!), but you may retract any information you don't want rolled. The fields you can remove if desired are: Accessories, Companions, Mutations, Specialty. Disabilities may not be removed from a race form.

  4. Removing any other information from a race form, or changing it, may result in a fight being automatically defaulted in your opponent's favor.


Racing Rolls

  1. Races have 3 rolled categories, each rolled 1 to 100: Speed, Stamina, and Balance.

  2. Races have 2 to 4 rounds max.

  3. Races are similar to dominance fights. The loser of a race may be punished for whatever action they committed in defiance of the other player (does not include injuries/maims and may not be used to get around the rules for other challenges).
