Inaugural Pony Race - The First Ride

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

Racing Mechanics

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 (TBD which treats). Different treats will grant different types of rolls (D6, D8 etc)
  • 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 accordingly 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 see if the indigestion occurs; if you roll 1,2, or 3 your pony gets an indigestion and you lose 50% of your Twitter polling 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 prices!

Treats Selection

The below treats have been selected as eligible for the first ever pony race; Every pony is allowed to use a max of 3 ROLLS per race; Any combination of the below is allowed.
