Pharaoh's Garden Game Event 1

Welcome to the opening of Pharaoh's Garden Airship and Game field.

Pharaoh's Garden is a gift from Pharaoh to the players of Tale 6. The Garden is designed to be a venue for airship games, foot races and other player run events. The Garden is intended to be a permanent feature for future tales.

For our opening event there were be two sets of games open to all players in Egypt: Airship Games and Runners Games.

Airship Game: Flyers Touch and Go Game 3 Attempts

The center of the airship field has a large lake with islands. Each island has a different shape and height. There is a landing zone area on each island. The height of the island indicates the difficulty of the landing. Islands that have heights closest to the lake level are easier to land on; islands that are taller are harder to land on. The Touch and Go Games consists of flying to an island, landing there successfully and returning to the starting area.

Important Note: Touch and Go Games require that the pilot return to the starting platform after landing on an island.

Game Details

Flyers queue up in the starting area. A Flyer is considered to be “On Course” until successful or they have used up their number of tries, then next Flyer may start. Flyers get 3 attempts to land on an island. When they land they will place a chit in the container and return to the starting area. Flyers that successfully land in the challenge zone are marked “completed”. Flyers that do not land within the alloted number of tries are marked “not completed”.

Round 1
Flyers will attempt landing on Green Island. They will each have 3 attempts to land on the island. Flyers who are successful will move on to Round 2.

If no Flyers are successful in Round 1 then Round 2 will be a repeat of Round 1. If no Flyers are successful on this repeat round then the game will end.

Round 2 Flyers will attempt landing on Red Island. They will each have 3 attempts to land on the island. Flyers who are successful will move on to Round 3.

If no Flyers are successful in Round 2 then the game will end.

If no Flyers are successful in Round 3 then the game will end.

Round 4 Final Round Flyers will attempt landing on Black Island. They will each have 3 attempts to land on the island. Flyers who are successful will be declared winners.

If no Flyers are successful in Round 4 then the game will end.

Runners Game: Marked Course Game Known Route

The lake area is surrounded by high ridges. Most ridges have one way up or down. There is a grass marked path along the ridge tops. There are stopping points along the ridge lines where chits must be dropped off. Paths are further defined by red plants lining the pathway and various statues indicating the next direction. The statue's arms will indicate whether the runner needs to turn or continue straight.

The drop off points and the statues may have messages on them to help direct runners. Runners must check each message carefully for additional instructions.

Runners must follow the designated path to each drop off point where they will place a personal chit in the container. Once they have placed a chit in the container they will proceed to the next location. After visiting all the designated locations they will return to the starting area.

The coordinates for the drop off points will be announced at game time.

Game Details

Runners will be grouped into teams: Blue, White, Pink. There will be separate heats for each team. Players may only be in one team for the event.

Only one team will be on course at a time. Once everyone from a team has completed the course and dropped their chit in the finish box, the heat will end.

There will be a break while the course is reset. After the reset, the next team will queue up for their run. After all groups have run the course the game will end.
