Player Plot: Chocobo Racing Invitational
As explained in this month's information post, there will be a Chocobo Racing Invitational held in Aqures Ixen during the month of December. While this is a legitimate competition, it's also a ploy by Levy and Bartz to lure Gilgamesh out of hiding, as the two have realized that he is not originally from Crystallis but somehow managed to get here before the Heroes of Light were summoned by Palitutu. The idea is to lure him out by dangling his last defeat at the hands of Bartz - his eternal rival - right in front of him. In the weeks leading up to the race, there will be posters going up everywhere advertising the race and making a big deal out of Bartz, the Returning Champion. The winner of the race gets to compete against him for fame, glory, and the fancy Brotherhood replica sword he won from Gilgamesh during their last race.
The post itself will be split into two sections - one for the actual races, and another part for anyone who wants to try to corner Gilgamesh if and when he actually shows up. The Gilgamesh encounter, should it occur, will be run by the mods as it deals with an NPC. But the race is all up to the players, and is a chance for the Heroes to have a good time racing and competing with each other. In fact, the more people who enter, the better it will look, and will probably be a more tempting opportunity for Gilgamesh. To that end, this post will be used as a sign-up for any character who wants to enter the race. Sign-ups are open as of this post, and will remain open through 11:59 PM EST on December 9th to give everyone time.
For the ease of threading, the race itself will be organized into a single elimination tournament with one-on-one races, with the overall winner going up against Bartz. Anyone is free to enter, and feel free to assume your character is able to rent a chocobo for the race if they don't already have one of their own. The match-ups will be posted on December 10th so that players will have some time to plan out the results of the races, which can be threaded out or the results handwaved when the plot post goes up on December 12th, which is also the IC day of the race. As for anyone interested in trying to capture Gilgamesh, feel free to assume that the true purpose of the race has been quietly communicated among the Heroes of Light by Levy, so anyone can get in on that too. Also feel free to use this post to plot for that, so that the mods will have an idea of who's planning to be involved and how.
