I guess I'll go ahead and reply. I was waiting for some of our other participants to reply, but I'm not seeing anything. Don't want the RP to stall, so I guess it's my turn. 

I just didn't get a response from @Windy Breeze ☁️ ☁️ ☁️ so I'm basically stuck.

[ExplosionMare 18,067]

I’ll go ahead and post to keep the RP going.

@ExplosionMare

I was just wondering on the response to when Pencil threw the green shell at Dynamo and Pastel. Was it aiming right at them, or was it aiming in a random directional throw? I was just making sure because I thought the rules said that nothing was to hit the driver's intentionally, or something along those lines.

@Samurai Equine 🔥🔥 

I'm really sorry if my response is slow. I was still confused if the race is on the second lap, or if there was a sort of time skip.

I was just wondering something with the part on the race. Is everyone who's racing on their second lap now, or is the race concluded? I read the response and I wasn't sure if the race had a time skip and was over, or still going on.

I just wasn't really sure how I could add on to the race. Hopefully, I can be more creative with dialogue down the line.

Sorry if I was expected. Low energy creatively, I guess. ^^; I'm not really sure how I can contribute to the race at this point

Correct, that is against the rules. You cannot attack racers directly, only indirectly. Defensive measures are allowed, though.

To answer your question Dynamo, yes, we're on lap two. On a previous reply, I all ready said that the racers were getting close to the line and starting the 2nd lap, I just made it official.

I am doing my best to make the race interesting, even if Samurai isn't in it. I'd hate to just time skip and declare a victor. That doesn't seem really fair. But if everyone is losing interest in the race and just wants of move on, I might consider it... 

[Pastel Heart 6,466]

@Samurai Equine 🔥🔥

It's not that I'm not interested, just had a bit of a burnout. I made a fun post to make up for my absenses!

[Samurai Equine 52,030]

@Kronos the Revenant

You okay there, buddy? Your OC looks like he could use a hug.  My OC doesn't easily give those out because of cultural differences (Fact: In Japan, hugs are not often freely exchanged among friends, and exchanging them in public view is often considered taboo.), but he can show his care/concern in other ways.

[Kronos the Revenant 1,971]

@Samurai Equine 🔥🔥

He is just conflicted with duty and morals is all. He likes ponies, but in his own culture, fulfilling a designated task is paramount at any cost; however, being exposed to the culture of Equestria and its focus around friendship, you can see where his morals conflict with each other in this scenario.

I’m still interested in the race, especially since my team is catching up to first place

You still might want to consider editing your message so that it says the green shell was tossed in a random direction instead of directly at Dynamo and Pastel. Wouldn't want to disqualify your character at the end of the race for directly attacking a racer, unless that's what you want. Glad you're still having fun with this roleplay, though.

Okay!

@Dynamo Pad

Sorry, I feel bad for making Pencil throw the shell. I didn’t mean to hurt your characters  I’m gonna fix the message now.

You don't need to change the response. Pencil was feeling competitive and in the moment of being competitive. It would help in character development if they talked after the race or something like that.

I took some parts out which was pretty easy to do, it’s no big deal. Pencil still has a pretty competitive streak in her so they can still talk at the end if they want.  I think I mixed the rules up or something. I wouldn’t want to hurt the characters, especially a filly.

I can imagine that Pencil doesn't get to show her competitive streak all that often. Given with how Pencil seems to be somewhat reserved given her actions in the RP. I could be wrong in that assumption, but please correct me if I'm wrong. I might have to change up a response or two, as well. I used the super horn in order to have Astral and Pencil stay back in order to not get the dice blocks. At the same time, I hit the slab that Kronos left on the road in the beginning of the race. I wasn't sure if the slab was destroyed earlier or if the slab was still there. So much chaos is going on in the race and it's all the fun kind of chaos.

Yeah, it is chaotic. I think with the shell I assumed Mario Kart rules were okay since that’s what appeared to be happening with the appearance of all the Mario stuff. I guess we all need to be more clear with each other next time.

I think it was meant to be Mario Kart rules involving items, but I think Samurai had said that the rule on hitting the racer would be indirectly instead of directly. I'm not too sure and I usually ask in case. Since I'm still having Dynamo learn his magic, while racing as I might try something soon. I'll make sure to be more clear and to let everyone know.

@Dynamo Pad @ExplosionMare

Did somebody say... CHAOS?

And don't worry guys, it's an RP. Its difficult to create new dialogue on the fly, let alone taking in each new post from other members while predicting the next.

You're fine. *Hugs*  My OC might not be much of a hugger (right now), but I am.

Dynamo is correct. It is illegal to attack racers directly, and this race was never meant to be a "Mario Kart" style race. (Seriously, where are the magic item boxes coming from? Did Dynamo's magic make that happen without even thinking about it? )

I have nothing against any of this, though. But I will say, this has been a learning experience for me.

In my head, I wanted this race to be a bit more realistic, and let people choose a custom arsenal for their karts. Basically, whatever they wanted, or however they wanted to express themselves (which is why I modeled Samurai's kart after the Mach 5, that one doesn't need any magical pick-up items). And just like a more realistic kart race, attacking a racer directly would cause real damage and put them in real danger.
But now I see the Mario Kart style of kart racing is very popular and well known. It's what everyone likes, so... Next time, if I ever make another role play involving a race, I'll just do that instead. And instead of making it illegal to attack racers, I'll just implement a health bar system or something. Maybe borrow more cues from the Mario Kart games. I've never played them myself, but I've seen a few Lets Plays, and I could easily take the time to read a few Wiki articles about the games. 
Again, sorry if I didn't format the race to be like that from the start. I'm learning. I guess I just assumed everyone saw the episode "The Cart Before the Ponies".

That's good to know. My OC is just like me, so he loves hugs. *hugs*

I don't think Dynamo's magic would be able to do something like that, but it is an interesting idea. I might have to still take time in planning out what he can and cannot do with his magic. Considering how video games can be OP depending on the magical ability. I think it was Kronos who went through an item and picked up a banana of sorts, but I could be completely wrong on that. I remember watching "The Cart Before the Ponies," but I wasn't sure if attacking indirectly would work/be okay. Since I was thinking the race would help give Dynamo more of an idea on what his magic could be. Sort of like items from Mario Kart like fireballs and such, but it's from his own magic.  

No need to apologize, my friend. This race was and still is a lot of fun.  I do like the idea of a health bar as that reminds me of the racing game, F-Zero with how the cars had a health system.

Everyone can have an idea of how they precisely want a story to go, but RPs can become very diverse depending on the members who take part, so the leader of said RP always needs to be open to changes. You've been doing well for the RP so far, and I have been having a lot of fun, so good work.

I was just wondering. Do the others see Astral go towards the X to dig up the missing page, as well as passing out?

@Dynamo Pad

The passing out part is meant to happen after you and the others are out of sight, but you'll definitely find out at the end of the race. If my character was taken to the hospital afterwards, it could be an opportunity for Astral to meet @Buck Testa's character on the next day.

Oh, okay. Was the page they were looking for was coming up? As in they saw him get out of the cart and started to dig? I wasn't sure if I should have Dynamo ask what Astral was doing since I can imagine that he and Pastel are out of the loop. I was thinking of going to have him ask Pencil what was going on, before he stuck to his promise to keep everyone safe.

@Dynamo Pad

I think that since the request was last minute, Astral just jumped out of the kart and ran in the opposite direction, so there wouldn't have been time for Dynamo to ask what was happening. I'm pretty sure that Pencil had no clear grasp on the situation either, so I hope that answers your question.

I had plans to bring Keen Fan to the hospital as well, but there is a small chance of meeting your OC if he wasn't released early. Keen was going on a checkup so.... @Samurai Equine 🔥🔥 be ready to play as a doctor.

@Kronos the Revenant Shadow will be following your OC. You'll either let her follow Kronos to the 'hotel' or caught her stalking him.

I figured Shadow was just beside Kronos and Samurai, hence the inner dialogue.
