You all have merely adopted the snow. I was born in it, molded by it. I didn’t see snow until I was already a giant penguin, by then it was nothing to me but.....more snow.

I suppose I can throw snow. Will there be sno-cones? I will only be there if I can have a sno-cone.

-Me.

Rekah.

Not the other Rekah who is saying she’s Rekah. That’s obviously Calliope.

The Hakodate Snow Palace presided over the field that had been prepared for the battle of the evening. Snow and ice sculptures ringed the plaza, breathless in wait for what was to come. Massive walls, almost four feet high, of snow lined each side of the plaza but had several breaks that allowed nervous combatants to hide behind. On either side of the fountain waited a pile of snowballs, perfectly prepped and balanced to remain packed until impacted on an opponent!

Combatants would be divided and sent right or left and then encouraged to at least try and aim at a specific opponent!

(( OOC Rules and info!

Tournament format will be decided based on the number of entries. The fights will be one-on-one (ex. Kheldar vs. Jaycy) and matchups will be posted at the start of each round.

The move list:
  • Toss Well aimed attack with massive snowball. Costs 1 snowball
    Lob High arcing throw, can hit over defenses. 1 snowball
    Sling Sidearm throw. Hard to block. 1 snowball
    White Wash Run in and dump snow down back of opponent's coat. 1 snowball
    Run Move out of the way
    Hide Dive behind obstacle
    Block Protect from incoming snowball
    Fling Toss cloud of snow into air as distraction
    Gather Ammo Gain 2 snowballs, can use multiple times in a row

Everyone starts with 3 snowballs and can have a maximum of 5 at any given time. Some moves will cost a snowball, and when you’re out, you either need to get more (gather ammo) or not use those moves that cost snowballs.

If you attempt a move that costs a snowball and you have no ammo, your opponent automatically gets a full point (you get pelted!) and you gather 2 snowballs.

First to 5 points (scoring 1 and .5) wins the snowball fight and moves on! ))

Congrats to Dris as our snowball master!

Six participants took to the plaza to play in the snow - Hot Dog, Haru, Dris, Rhys, Scarlett, and Pharlen! A lot of balls flew (hitting more than just the participants) and other shenanigans happened (Hot Dog as top dog of a pack of puppies, a new forever home for one of them... you bet!) but at the end of the day, Dris came out atop the snow pile!
