A bit more than a year ago a gauntlet was thrown down. Were there any brave souls who would sprint with each
ARR race? These are the races that get the snot (literally) kicked out of them. The races that are the least played in the box. Those shunned weirdos that many in the think are nothing more than punching bags. Well, the contest to sprint (play 16 games in one season) with all 8 ARR races is complete. Only one brave soul was
crazy brave enough to complete the challenge in the allotted time, though two others stood out and almost made it. Let's talk about them first.
The contest ran from Feb 1st 2014 to Feb 1st 2015, server time.
HonARRable mention:
Dunenzed, who sprinted with 7 races - all but Slann - in the allotted time, and completed a Slann sprint in the very first ARR season... If the contest rules had been worded slightly differently he might have been able to steal the prize with a 50% die roll. But since he knows enough about chance, it's clear he would have lost anyway. ;)
RunnARR up:
xnoelx, sprinting with 8 races, but twice with flings and none with Underworld. Some might say he should be rewarded for such bravery - myself among them. However, bravery will have to be it's own reward for now, as he shall not be awarded with the prize.
WinnARR: with an impressive 17 total sprints (8 of them stunty), the winner of a set of FUMBBL Dice and poker chip is
cdassak! 17 sprints (272 games at least!) from the hardest and least loved races in the box is a mighty accomplishment. Season I had only 18 and Season IV had 16 total, so it is with head held high that we can claim cdassak as the champion who has brought most diversity to the box this past year. Congrats!
