BROHOOF.COM PRESENTS..

 

 

9nrEm3S.jpg

It's that time a year again. All the fillies are back in school, the air has a crisp feel, the crops are being harvested all around Ponyville, and the trees of course are changing into a beautiful array of colors. However the beauty can't last, those leaves have to come down sometime  and that's where you come in!
 

What is the Running of the Leaves?
The Running of the Leaves is one of Ponyville's traditions to shake the autumn leaves off the trees with the pounding of their hooves as they race through Whitetail Woods!
To visit the track for practice just head down to Whitetail Wood (/warp whitetail)!

When is it?
The race will be this Saturday, the 4th of October at 3pm EST. (8pm GMT)
(Click here to convert to your timezone!)

The Rules!
The rules for this years Running of the Leaves are as follows:

  • Do NOT use any form of flymod, whether for flying or for speed boosts. Flymods and speed mods will be disabled with AntiCheat, do not find some clever way around it.
  • Do NOT use the compass, to teleport or pass through any obstacles that may be in your way.
  • Sprint jumping IS allowed! However, doing so will come with a penalty. This gets complicated, so read!
  • Holding down jump while sprinting makes you go faster than normal sprinting, in case you didn't know. We have a plugin for us to manage this. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR XP BAR, it is basically a stamina bar. You start out with "10" for your level, each time you jump you lose a point, if you reach 0 and try to jump, you will slow down. So you really have to only jump when necessary or you will lose badly.

Don't be a Rainbow Dash!  zgPIsYe.png?1

Sounds like fun, can I help set it up?
Yes! We've got a few jobs that need doing to get the event ready to go.

Trap-laying (BOTH BUILDERS AND FREEBUILDERS)
Our new Whitetail track is rather long, so running through it can get a little monotonous. We need you to help liven it up!
If you want to design some traps or obstacles do it in Freebuild or Plains, then post about it in this forum thread.
I will come look at them and move the ones that are up to snuff onto the track.
Submissions will close 12pm EST (5pm GMT) the day of the race.

Cameraponies
As with the previous races, we'd like to have a video of it to remember it happened. Anyone can record whether you're racing or just spectating, and after the event I'll post where you need to send all your clips.
Everyone filming the event should use Mine Little Pony and this special, Autumn-themed edition of the Love & Tolerance Texture Pack for consistency! If you don't use them your film cannot be included in the official video, though you can still post it in the discussion thread (which will be created after the event is over) for others to enjoy.

FAQ

  • Do I have to sign up somewhere?
  • No! Just show up on time and you'll be able to participate.
  • Do I have to be a builder to race?
  • No! Everyone can join in.
  • But I don't have a reserved slot! How will I get on the server?
  • We will raise the player limit to ridiculous heights, so everyone who wants to join will be able to.
  • Can I practice first?
  • Yes! Just /warp whitetail and you can run the track for yourself.
  • Is there anything else planned for the day?
  • Nope, but with a big crowd of people online we always find ways to have fun.

 

See you there!

Running of the leaves > 3.1 miles of cold, muddy, hilly corn fields in the middle of nowhere. :( You all have a blast, okay? Maybe I can get back in time for the after party. :)

It's that time of the year again, where you wake up at 3am on a Sunday morning

In the middle of your finals

 

Welp, I won't be running because of ping issues, but I'll be there.

Even though I didn't participate properly, the race was wonderful fun! It was lovely to see all the effort that's been put into getting Whitetail Woods ready. Well done to Mr_Butternubs and all of you on the team who helped with designing the course.
