PLOT

✗ If you care to look around, the natives seem like busy bees right now. They're putting up festive flags and decorations, setting up tents and overall seeming to be having a grand time. And the posters. "Fisholympics! A time of fierce competition, powerful friendships and aiming for the golden starfish!" Yep. Looks like the natives are up to something once again. But if asked, they just grin and point to the posters and say "Who are you going to root for?" That's not very helpful, is it? They are giving out extra tokens to foreigners who help out with tasks, like cleaning up the city or the beach, building these tents and decorating the city, so there is that. They seem to be extra generous for anyone else who is excited to help out with whatever this Fisholympics might be. Thaaaat's right, Vatheonites. It's time for another fishy, crazy time, courtesy of your very eager natives. The Fisholympics are a Vatheon event of craziness, insanity and aiming for medals that may or may not be made of starfish. We'll get back to you on that. We're aiming for it to be a big event in July, so we're letting you know now so we can get some input from you all! We'd like input both on events and on the logistics of running such a thing; while we already have some ideas on how to implement things, any suggestions on how to make it more fun for you guys would be great! We're thinking maybe a voting sort of thing; if you see an idea you really like already posted, be sure to +1 it so we can get an idea of what people want the most. Events; think fishy. Think the gif above. Flying fish racing will totally be a thing. But got anything in mind? The crazier the better! Just let us know here. Logistics; we plan on making this a team event for max CR opportunities, with randomized teams. Any thoughts on how to do winners and losers? How to make this run smoothly and have a good time at the same time? Drop your ideas here, please! Questions; so that we don't lose a question in the post! Please post all of your questions here. Thanks, everyone!

As always, if there are any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to post below or contact Cal, Dees or Thorny!

Not sure about specifics, but having things that are a bit more land-based for citizens who can't swim for various reasons (ex. Raine Sage) might be nice. Just so everyone can get involved without feeling ICly disadvantaged.

Maybe we could take the chance to go back out to the pirate ship or the cave system below the church? Neither seem to be used anymore, and this could be a nice way to get new players a little more familiar with the nooks and crannies of this place.

Darts with swordfish.

Art contest using ink-secreting aquatic life.

Twister, you vs jellyfish.

Woo-a-dolphin. Hey, they can be sexual.


I'm sorry, ignore these.

I second the aquatic racing, perhaps with a "drier" version where, instead of riding on the creature, there's a platform attached to them. Like this. Nik brought up the thing about aquaphobic characters, so.

The weather's actually for the island above the city, IIRC. :|a

[formerabyssinian]

/leaves it! B(

But does it get that hot down under?

[420]

Nope. The bubble is climate controlled. The same weather 365 days a year. We don't have an exact temperature for it, but it is cooler than that. Just... kinda comfy weather.

[formerabyssinian]

Excellent! But no snow for winter holidays... /hopes there's fake snow
