Westu Hal Riders of the Mark! As I am sure you have seen I am working on bringing back IK racing!

You can go HERE To vote on your prefered schedule for the season and get the basics of how it will work.

THE big questions for you is what colours and animals do you want

You were previously a Golden Yellow sort of colour that doesn't overly exist and is basically the same as Imladris' This particular one is (#FFBF40) and is slightly different than Imladris' I have offered them an orange one as their original colour is called orange. If they don't take that offer you're welcome to it as well


There thread for this info is HERE in case you are wanting to see if they are going to take it or would like to fight them for it. I will watch gleefully

Also you were raccoons (though the surviving IK racing league has you as rats... thanks @Gwai for confirming raccoons.

IF you would like to change either your colour or your racing animal please hold a vote here in this thread I will obviously be paying attention. IF you are changing your colour I do ask you stay away from the bottom row of white to the bright yellow (all the light yellows) as I can not read those. The row directly above the Bright yellow to white IS legible to me, but may be difficult for other members and I would suggest not using it either but it's not a hard no from me.

AND again you don't need to sign up and call what races you'll be at, you just need to show up to the races themselves and participate.

I’m fine staying with raccoons, but badgers might be more appropriate.

I’m always a fan of green!

Sadly Badgers legitamately belong to KD... SO no badgers. We'll have to go with a lighter green for Rohan has I think Fangorn is currently THIS particular tone of Green

THIS green would work

Psst; the colors on the plaza’s pallet are not the only ones available.

You can use a colour chart like this one to find any colour you want.

So you could use a gold like this (#D5BD1F) or a green like this (#5CD51F) or indeed whatever takes your fancy (#670088).

You just need to make sure you put the color code somewhere people can copy/paste it and it shouldn’t be an issue.

Indeed If you guys could let me know what you'd like (Imladris has moved to a teal colour) that would be great (that said the purple Allacan has posted is exceptionally close to the Shire Purple of old which they have asked to maintain).

So far it is looking like raccoons and Green. Gold is still on the table in BOTH forms the original Rohan colour and the one that Imladris was given.

And of course this is a reminder that the test race will be opening on October 1st!

Okay guys time for a new task for Rohirrim racers (might even give yourselves a bit of a leg up with this)

I invite you to help come up with questions for B rolls (we are making the switch to A/B rolls to keep that from getting confusing)

They need to be generic enough any racer can deal with them, but you are welcome to include bits of lore, or mention other activities in Rohan. I shall then shuffle them all into my Google Document for IK racing.

Our next race will likely be January with the start of the IK racing season. (Simply because I don't want to run another test in December as I don't see it being very well attended)
