So, what, only one person is allowed to use a Spitfire skin? Isn't that a bit... e.e?

No, it's the only person allowed to use a SPitfire skin WITHIN the wonderbolts. Because they're a team, two Spitfires would be confusing.

Exactly ^^ We have no control over anyone's skin on the server, but within our team we want order.

Exactly faffle, your right. I don't mind ponies using a Spitfire skin, I have no problems with that ^^ But what I would have problems with is ponies trying to act like THEY are the real Spitfire, when there's clearly already a team formed. Roleplays are, ofcourse, not included in that. :3

When you say this will be on the 10th of Feb, you may need to say a different time for pones in different time zones. I'm in Australia by the way.

We could do that, but that would also mean a lot more work for us. First we have to ask all the competitors where they live, with the risk of not being able to reach some due to unkown causes. Then we need to check what time it is for everypony, which is also a lotta work. So the best thing to do is to check your own time, so we can focus on other things.

All I need is the time and I'll check what time that is in Australia, I'll also need to know your time zone so I know what I'm working off.

No, cmc's can join in the race too. But like you said yourself, you may not be able to come onto the server if your a white mane. So what I'd suggest is try and become a greenmane before the race, so you're sure you can come on.

Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend, as from what I can find, Pacific time is eight hours behind GMT (my time), resulting in the race being held, for me, at around midnight (assuming that you mean 4:30 PM)

Ok good that will save a lot of people some work. I thank you in name of all of them.

For all the people in europe you can use this to make it easy on yourself: It starts at 19:00 (7 PM.) GMT/UTC. I live in holland which is in GMT+1 so for me it's 20:00. This should help enough getting it calculated quick and easy to your own time zone.(if you use GMT)

I hate to admit it, but Hazzat has a point.. If we reserve slots, there's less to win. I think we should give up our place as Wonderbolts, for the sake of the race. That way, we'd know for sure who is the best of the lot, us included. Also, as an idea, we could hold several races, and let the racer's who want to be a certain character race against one another? For example, all those that want to be Spitfire race against one another, and the winner in the end get's to be her?

Hey Hazzat, if this is a problem, you should have said so before ^^ The first thing I did was to sign up as a competator, but when Faffle agreed on my proposal (which I did because it thought it was a good way to find referees), I thought: why the hay not. If it's wrong, I'm very sorry, and we'll ofc. compete just like everyone else... No worries :)

And xer. I feel you've got this wrong again. I said part of the prize is a custom skin (and I hope I'll still be allowed to make this part of the prize), which means you can have your oc be a wonderbolt etc. if you want to. No need for a competition over who's allowed to "be" Spitfire.

I also wanted to note something. I fly a lot when I'm on the server, using the feather. If we have many contestants, the lag will make the flying close to impossible. This needs to be sorted out in some way imo. After all, we want a flying contest, not a "running with lagspikes hoping to take off" contest, if you know what I mean ^^

No, I'm talking about this sort of thing:

The winners will get to join the wonderbolts. And the wonderbolts are way more than 3. Their squad is always 6 when they do shows, and they have 10-11 members in total. As refs. the current wonderbolts will decide with Fafflemaster how many winners there will be. The more competators, the better event ^^

Just because these guys decided they were the Wonderbolts beforehand, that somehow means several slots on the Wonderbolts team are already taken and they get special judging privileges? It's not fair on everyone else, who are having their potential winnings cut for no good reason.

Now, I'm hesitant to pull the plug on this because you've been working on it for so long and you have a substantial list of competitors. However, barely anyone except you (Faffle) and the "Wonderbolts" have posted in this thread in a long time, so I'm expecting a low turnout due to lack of enthusiasm. The long planning period has meant lots of people have forgotten about it for the most part too.

I'm cancelling this event. You've been very civil and I appreciate that, but this event started going down the drain after the second page.
