Title: Boat Racing
Post by: Aureus Lunae on May 25, 2016, 02:31:18 PM
Boat Racing
Boat Racing, a game as old as there were boats in minecraft. Yet there were no events surrounding this. Well, now there is. Race down a river to the finish, avoiding all traps and trying to be the fastest.

How to play?
Get boats, go to the starting point and wait for release. Once you are released, place your boats in the water and start to race. You should try to get on ahead already, since rivers are small. When your boat breaks, replace it with a new one.

Time Trail
In time Trail, you complete for the top 10 on each track. At the end of the summer, a small reward will be given depending on the position you are in. You can also opt for a 5 boat challenge

Prizes
1st place: 30 Hozt
2nd place: 20 Hozt
3rd place: 10 Hozt
Anything else: 3

Rules

Tracks
Excelsior Seaside River (http://n)
Difficulty: **
Description: A river near Excelsior. It is an easy track, with a quick way to start. Wide enough for many to rush, but it gets smaller fast. The key is proper steering to win the game.

We do encourage people to make their own river tracks in the town to be used for this event.

When is this?
This game will be played at Saturdays (Server Restart). Time Trials can always be asked to do.

There is a very big and hard river track that ends at lionmart harbor and begins at the ocean. It's like a good 5 minutes trip.

   Boat racing has been done in SentinelCraft before, by bricer123 I believe. It's good to see the game coming back again, even with a different ruleset. Props to you Aurum.

Does it have a release mechanism and clear finish line? And on a scale of 1-5, with 5 being hardest, how hard is yours?

I rate Eagler1997's race track a good 3/5. Has hard corners, need to keep attention to the track, it changes drastically. And the finish line is hard as hardcore mode @ 1 heart. Not for beginners.

So the bridge as the finish line.
Care to make some sort of flag in the water?

Track is easy. The turns aren't that hard, so far I rate the difficulty 1. It will be good to have an easy track in the list, for beginners, or just fast clear races.

Lionmarkt is long, good for a clear race without any traps. The river is broad and passing each other would be easy. All you need to do here is take the corners right, go fast, and avoid the squids. I doubt more than 5 boats are needed to complete the track.

One the finish line has been added (underwater is fine), the description of it will be added to the main post, together with pictures.

New Track added.

Jungle River 1 (By EpicNata) (http://imgur.com/a/Hv4dP)
Difficulty: ***+
Description: A river in the jungle. It is very narrow, making it hard to pass others. High speed is not recommended, as you will need to be able to take the corners. Just be careful of the chickens appearing on the river.

Coming soon

Boat Racing!!!

(https://s9.postimg.cc/3khrcpl9b/Boat_Racing.png)

The Event

Another great event is back! Boat racing is a time trial (and sometimes competition) in a challenging track. Will you have what it takes to get the best time?

The Rules*

If you break any rule, you'll be disqualified.
*More rules can be added if necessary.

How to play

Place a sign to start your time (you will be told where), there will be two boats on the starting line. Your goal is to complete 2 laps, each lap with a different boat. Once you finish the 2nd lap, place a sign to stop your time (again, you will be told where). Easy like that!


The Score

Is a time trial, so the final time is everything. If you get a better time than the rest, you win. How do you calculate the start? Or end? Easy. You have to place a sign with your nickname when you're ready to start. Where? Don't worry, while on the challenge you'll know where to place them. Then we just use /logblock on the signs and calculate the time.

Prizes

1st place: $3000 In-game money + 1 God Apple + Ticket*
2nd place: $2000 In-game money + 1 nether star + Ticket*
3rd place: $1000 In-game money + Ticket*

*Ticket: When winning certain events (not only this one), you'll receive a ticket that grant you access to a "Special Event" at the end of the month where you can earn bigger and unique prizes along with unique experiences.


You said it was a competition too...

Yes! You can challenge other competitors to get a better score. For example, "Alex360" gets a time of 2 minutes and 40 seconds (02:40) and sees that in the scoreboard her friend "RoseGamer" got a time of 2 minutes and 10 seconds (02:10). Alex challenges Rose and she accepts. They both connect to the server and do a 3-lap race. The "Hoster" who watches the race, certifies the victory. If Alex wins, his score will be exchanged with Rose's. If Rose wins, her initial score will be subtracted 10 seconds and Alex will be added 10 seconds.

You can check the scoreboard in this link: Click me to see the scoreboard! (https://goo.gl/vSyvjX)

I want to play!

To play just ask DanteVentura in-game and tell him that you want to give it a try. The leaderboard resets every Thursday at 11:59 pm EST and winners are announced on the next Friday morning. What are you waiting for? Come and play!!!!
