Question of the Week
The jungles of Courcle have been echoing with the splash of oars and the yells of Dragon Boat racers. We'd like to know how you feel about the event. What's your best time and what strategies did you use to get down the river faster?
Who knew Mabinogians would take to the water like... well, a duck to water! Our Question of the Week was full of all sorts of interesting responses about how much you're enjoying Dragon Boat racing. We've also heard all sorts of interesting startegies on how to win and get good times, but the bioggest one seems to be the most obvious -- communicate with each other, concentrate and support each other as a team. Good advice for alomst anything, as a matter of fact!
"Being on a boat that's moving through the water, it's so clear. Everything falls into place in terms of what's important and what's not." - James Taylor, Erinn philosopher
"My best time was 7:40. One way to go faster was to have everyone paddling at all times. When a hobgoblin hops on, have the strongest get up and knock him out. Don't send everyone at the same time! "– Vincent C.
"Paddle, Windmill and get on the oar as fast as possible. Do NOT steer... and we will get there in 7:45 with no problem!" – Alexander T.
"My best time was 7:46 with eight people. Have one person that's great at steering, one Rank 1 Windmiller, and have the rest rowing for their lives. It always works."– Crystal G.
