The inaugural BlackSand Pony Race is a one-off, 7-day race that takes place between November 16th 2022 and November 23rd 2022.

Participation: Every pony holder is welcome to participate with 1 pony they hold.

Mechanics: Ponies’ performance in the race will be determined by a combination of two elements:

Votes from Twitter Poll:

  • A twitter poll will be launched including all participating ponies (in a thread, due to twitter limitation of 4 choices per poll)
  • Each pony will score 1 point per vote they get in the poll
  • Holders are encouraged to promote their pony on twitter and discord

Points from Treat Boost System:

  • Each holder will be able to secure boosts for their pony. Selected Treats from the Athenaeum collections can be used to redeem rolls. Different treats will grant different types of rolls (D6, D8 etc). See Treats Selection for details
  • To secure rolls, you will need to be holding the chosen treats in the same wallet as your pony at the start of a race
  • Your pony will gain points according to your rolls. The rolls will be conducted on Discord (mechanics tbd)
  • Each pony will be able to consume up to 3 treats per race. But if you roll 3 or more times (some treats may grant you more than 1 roll) your pony will be at risk of indigestion. You will need to roll 1 additional D4 to find out if your pony gets an indigestion. If you roll 1,2, or 3, your pony gets an indigestion and you lose 50% of your Twitter poll points

The race ends when the twitter poll closes. Rolls must happen before the poll closes to be counted.

The sum of the points you score from Twitter and from the Boost System will determine your pony’s final score and rank. The highest ranking ponies will win some great prizes!

Treats Selection from the Forgotten Runes Athenaeum

The below treats from the Forgotten Runes Athenaeum have been selected as eligible for a special boost for the first pony race. Every pony holder is allowed to use a max of 3 TREATS per race; Any combination of the below is allowed. If a treat grants more than 1 roll, all the rolls must be used (e.g. if you feed 1 carrot to your pony, you need to roll 2 times). Remember, rolling 3 or more times can cause troubles.

  • Carrot (max 1x): "The most loved treat of any respectable pony." Grants 2x D6 rolls
  • Cognac or Rum (max 1x): "A drunk pony? Highly volatile results." Grants 1x D12 roll
  • Cucumber (max 1x): "Where do you put this?" Grants 3x D4 rolls
  • Hot Pepper (max 2x): "Apply on nostrils" Grants 1x D8 roll
  • A Gallon of Canaanite Milk: (max 1x): "Does this give superpowers?" Grants 1x D6 roll
  • Dead Fish or Dead Rat (max 2x*): "Why is this still moving!?" Grants 1x D6 roll
  • Cherry, Peach, Eggplant, Pumpkin (max 2x*): "This should be healthy" Grants 1x D4 roll

*Indicates that you can use any combination of the treats, but max 2x (e.g. you could use a Cherry and a Peach, or 2x Pumpkins, but no more)

Any other treat from the Forgotten Rune Athenaeum collection can be fed to your pony for 1 point (not 1 roll). It would still count towards to max of 3.
