WELCOME TO SLATEPORT BEACH! on this sunny day, the coast is lined with saddled mantine and cheering spectators, an the atmosphere's summery current is electrified with the anxiety and adrenaline of the gathering surfers.[break][break]
this post is the
introductory post. here, you may roleplay your characters and the events leading up to the start of the competition. the setting is slateport's beach. feel free to coo at the cute mantine, trash talk the other participants, or throw up on a sandygast because your character can't handle their nerves.[break][break]
if you would like to join, but have not signed up, feel free to post in
this thread despite the sign-ups having been closed! as a note, we will deduct the pokedollar entry fee from your accounts at the end of the event![break][break][break]
[attr="class","ihead"]GUIDELINES
[break][break]
alongside exposition, mod posts will prompt your characters to perform their tricks with rolls! each trick has a
range of numbers you must roll within to successfully score points. should you fail to roll within the number range required for the trick, your character will
wipeout and receive zero points! oh no! thankfully, failing a trick does not mean you're out of the competition, for the mantine will bring you back to surfing speed in no time.[break][break]
in summary, your posts
must include the following information:[break][break]
- the trick your character will perform (chosen from a list below)
- a roll using the dice command
[break][break]
this event will have
four rounds of tricks. afterward, there will be a mod post celebrating the victor(s). remember, this is a casual event and
prizes will be rewarded to every participant.[break][break]
after the first round, there will be a
48 hour posting period until the next round begins, meaning you may be skipped. however, if you find yourself with little to no time, all you need to post is the chosen trick and a roll. so feel free to write super short posts![break][break][break]

[break][break]
[break][break]
GOREBYSS/HUNTAIL SPIRAL - 100 POINTS[break]
[break]

[break][break]

[break][break]
PRIMARINA TWIST - 1000 POINTS[break]

[break][break]
OVER-THE-GYARADOS - 2500 POINTS[break]
[break]

[break][break]
MAGIKARP SPLASH - 5000 POINTS[break]
[break]
the most difficult of tricks. although deceptively simple, the form and precision required to perform this trick is almost impossible.[break][break][break]
