As part of the annual Elanthian Fashion Week scene, the The Looking Glass are pleased to announce Fashion! 5122. This year, we will be holding a series of seasonally themed events across Elanthia in collaboration with other CHEs and MHOs.

Spring

Celebrating the arrival of spring with a day at the races! We are taking over the Veythorne Manor grounds for the day to let the roltons run amok with a little side-betting action, refreshments, and the chance to show off your finest race day outfits. Prizes will be given for all race entries and subsequent wins. An award will also be given for the most ostentatious hat seen during the day!

Race Rules

  • There will be a minimum of six roltons running each race.
  • Each of the six roltons can be "sponsored" in a race for a nominal fee (exact amount to be determined).
  • Private pedigree rolton entries will be accepted on the day (yes, you can bring your own Racing toy).
  • The race course will run from the Veythorne Manor dock (starting post) to the entrance gate (finish line). (A total of 9 rooms in either direction)
  • The first rolton to reach the gate (finish line) will be declared the winner.
  • In the event of no rolton reaching the gate (finish line) before all movements cease, the race will be declared over with no outright winner.
  • All roltons must be attuned before the race. (HUG your rolton x2)
  • All roltons must be prepared before the race. (TURN your rolton x10 to fully wind it)
  • All roltons must be lined up at the start of the race. (DROP your rolton in the starting room)
  • False starts will be disqualified. (Do not NUDGE your rolton until you are told "GO!" Make sure you know which rolton is yours e.g. NUDGE THIRD ROLTON or NUDGE BLUE ROLTON)
  • Any tampering with your rolton or interference with other roltons during the race will result in disqualification.
  • Retrieve your rolton once the race has finished (GET rolton. You will not be able to pick up your rolton until its 10 movements have completed, hopefully at the finish line!)
  • All roltons must be returned to the Adjudicator where you will receive your prize (for entry and/or race win). Unless, of course, you are the proud owner of the rolton, in which case just come and collect your prize!
  • The Adjudicator's decision in all matters is final. (No arguing with Rohese or she will cry.)
