Thursday, 6:30 PM EST (Genie Room #147, Andreshlew)
Seeking a new thrill? Enjoy strategic games of skill or moist cartography? Have your pass to explore Andreshlew? Then join 436's High Score-Haver Korya at the Crystal Tunnel Water Races, where she will be answering questions and giving tips on this uniquely challenging game! This will be a shortish Q and A session, so those in attendance can try out the practice Heat #0 at 6:57 PM!

For those wanting to try the practice heat to get a feel for it without being scored, Kethrai has done a quick list that shows when the practice heats will begin: https://output.jsbin.com/vuzoxev

Arriving on the dot will give you 1-2 minutes to get situated at the starting gate; actual races begin a smidge later than the times listed. This list will cease working if the game goes down for any reason, I assume!

Hello, GMs reading this! Thank you for updating the in-game map to fix the tiny errors in the tunnel system!

We've logged last year's race attendants here for posterity -- https://elanthipedia.play.net/Water_Tunnel_Race#Hollow_Eve_436_Scores -- this snapshot taken just before the races were enabled at this year's fest.

Would it be possible to clear the scores from last year, to let us try for a new score? Pretty please with whale cheese on top?

I would also be psyched to see prizes for the top however-many-makes-sense! Some prize ideas:
* Bodysuits (clothing or armor) designed to look like a swimsuit.
* Unique titles
* Flipper footwear (skates template? Uh, I'm just coming up with 5 AM randomness now.)
* Shirt with your score in the tap

Being given a prize from the game loot pools for doing any of the heats (including practice heats) would also be great, but a little more difficult to code I imagine!
