Please vote. Only comment if you have another idea for a race. We will not be doing dinos we've already done. Can anyone knock Ultrus from his throne?

Another Option: Galli jump contest.

Going on what Nails said, what about parachute target practice, everyone starts on the volcano, you setup a few boxes, platforms and what nots and we all jump and try to land in them, make certain ones certain prizes or design it like a bullseye for the three closest to win. I don't know how far you can parachute but for people to have to either drop or circle again and again to try and get low enough it might be difficult and probably fun, though if controls on a parachute are too easy then the idea might not work so well. You still could put high walls on the target so circling won't work and you have to drop down, to maybe make it harder. Only parachuted from short distances for fun, so I dunno, just an idea

On the same lines of a parachute contest, I was thinking of a Terror Bird glide contest. Adds a little bit more a dynamic to the contest in terms of prep work, do you go more for speed to get a farther jump or do you just pump straight stamina.

It would require the honor system but allowing everyone to only spend say 50 points (yes some people would still be behind that weren't able to do so) on whatever stats they choose would then make it not be about level. Get screenshots with the winners at the end if there is any question of fairness of just as a default get them just to be sure, have them post the screen with whatever is needed to prove they just took it, showing their stats to prove only 50 were spent. Best way I can think of, I'm sure others might have better ideas or ways to expand on it

we may do like... 80's race, 70's race, 60 below race. 90's race

we may do like... 80's race, 70's race, 60 below race. 90's race I think this will have to be the best way of making this a fair race. A few other challenges that I see causing issues. -By naked I'm assuming they would not be allowed to carry any items/weapons or gear? If so, this would have to rely on the honor system. -I think offering everyone a mind-wipe to change their stats prior to the race would be fair. -If we separate the races by 10's that's still a drastic advantage from say lvl 60 to lvl 69...thoughts? -That's at least 9 separate races. Would we offer 1st, 2nd, 3rd for each race or just 9 separate prizes? Could be challenging to monitor this. -As much as I can appreciate the honor system, is there a server setting that we can temporarily change to accommodate the race? For example, everyone takes a mind wipe; we dis-allow level raising for the race that way everyone is held to lvl 1. Certainly not trying to be a nay-sayer here, just thinking in practical terms. I love the idea of the race and I know there's a way we can make this fair for all involved....including balance.

I don't know. in my mind, people in front are going to aggro dinos and make it easier on the people behind them. not much we can do other than honor system. we could have people post screenshots of their speed and say "okay level 80 is capped at 150 speed and 200 stam." I wouldn't mind higher levels having a health buff.

I think so long as the players are okay with grouping the level's in 10's we are okay. I don't know that its a huge advantage, being faster doesn't mean you live, i have ran off cliffs before and almost died!
I think people should bring a sleeping bag, die and respawn to ensure they have nothing on them, mind wipe isn't necessary to me, as much as making sure they don't have the equipment they should not have.
We provide the chests with equipment.
Then we have check points that we sit at with at least 2 admin's monitoring the one or two racers, if we put the check points close enough, people won't stray.
I would love to start at the volcano with a parachute off the top to start it lol

probably volcano, parachute down, run south to our base, grab an item then go north to carno island or close to it. something like that people will die, but that'll be the fun part.

We thought of that, but I don't think you can control the direction you go when you parachute, so it would be tough to aim anywhere no?
