1. Why do you want to be a referee?:To make sure the horse race runs smoothly
2. How do you think you would keep the game fair?Kindly tell players to step out of this round and tell them to stop cheating. Further cheating could result in a contest removal.
3. Anything else to add/any special skills? This would be my first contest i have refed. Though, i do have some excellent leadership skills to make up for it.
4. What is your timezone?: GMT -7 (Pacific Daylight Time)

Natsubros I got the 4th question

 

[Faliara]

We should make a horse racing arena in JtE.

 

[Mia]

1. Why do you want to be a referee? Well I would like to see this run smoothly for the first time, and I dont think I would do very well riding a horse
2. How do you think you would keep the game fair? Watching over everyone not just one person, so not picking on one guy. Make sure everyone has heaps of fun!
3. Anything else to add/any special skills? Well I have excellent leadership skills (apparently). Although this would be my first time refereeing a game :)

Good luck to all who enter! Have fun!
Gawd Nat make me do all this work!
Time zone is GMT +10

 

[Jivvi]

Watch out for horse breeds. Some horses are much faster than others, some jump much higher.
And the there's donkeys. Like hell I'm entering with a donkey. Get ready to be schooled.

 

[Natsu]

Right, sorry to everyone that applied for a referee. It seems the last question wasn't added into the post, which is: What's your timezone?

Also, theWeakGuy48 , please use an actual GMT. Example: GMT-8/GMT+3

Mad11gab8: Good job, you're accepted!

Zeus42000: I'll accept you once you've answered the 4th question.

Donkeys pfft. Skeleton horses all the way bro

 

[Mia]

What's all this talk about donkeys and skeleton horses?
Mules are da baws der. Mules are the best (If I could ride a kitty I would but I guess mules are second best)

 

[TheWeakGuy48_]

Ughhh, I cannot EDIT my post in this thread(I dont know why)?
2. What's your timezone? (GMT) +3

 

[8bitChap]

1. What's your in-game username? 8bitChap
2. What's your timezone? (GMT) GMT. Original, I know.
3. How far do you think you'll get into this tournament? I spent 1 and a half hours breeding horses to get the best jump, nicest colour, and most importantly the fastest speed. I think I'm going to do pretty well.

Also, there is a possibility that a Team Horse Racing tournament will be held after the normal one. Team Horse Racing is when you try to race as a team with somebody else while both of the team members have leads attached to the other horse. A similar idea to 3-legged racing. Not sure yet if this will be added, but it is a possibility.​

Sorry nit, since we already have Swimmer's arena. But maybe, if there's a special need for it in the finals, we'll ask you. <3 Also nitasu987 , why not join as a racer? :3

 

[S_swimmer]

The Horse Racing Arena is now 99% FINISHED. It is complete with the track, racing stables, spectator seating, concessions stands/various shops, and bathrooms.

Spoiler: The FINISHED Arena!

The warp is /warp OfficialHorseRaces. You may tour the place and request to have your own shop now. (Keep in mind that you will not have to actually run the shop.)



I know the stone brick stuff clashes, but the design was a tribute to Samlen
