The Shadow Games!

[Tiberius Fireskull]

First off, to all of the people that didn't show up, cleared or not, you have gotten zero points today. I hate to sound mean like this, but we don't exactly have very much time for these events, and I need to be moving through them as soon as possible. Should there be time, you will get a chance to make it up, but you are going to have to do very well in our next event if you don't want to be eliminated. When you sign up for these events, I expect you to be able to show up for them. It is a huge pain for me to need to constantly rearrange these teams due to you not showing up. I rearranged the teams one last time at this event. I will not do it again.

Now back to the event. Today was the first race. We had each people go in groups using the route that I mapped out. When I shot my gun, they all ran to the Governor's Mansion, then back down to the docks, launching their ships, making for Devil's Anvil, and then into Barbossa's Grotto. The winners are as follows:

First Place: Mr Awesome, Jason Lockbane, and Camdapirate

Second Place: Johnny Darkwalker, Christopher, and Chris Firefury

Third Place: Dog Gunmorgan, Davy Fireskull, Margaret Wildeagle

Remember that 3 points are awarded to 1st place, 2 to 2nd, and 1 to 3rd. I have put the points on the original post, if you want to look at that. And now onto the next event...

Timed Ship Sinking!

This event is really quite simple, but not all that easy. Each member of your group will launch their ship at Padres Del Fuego. You have your choice of any two gunners, so long as it is not a judge or a member of your group. They don't have to be from Shadow Sorcerors. You have a choice of any War Ship, nothing else. If you don't have a War Ship, one will be provided for you (remember that if the Captain is not one of your gunners, you will not be able to board flagships, as the Captain of the ship must initiate boarding!). A judge along with your two gunners will board your ship. You will then have fifteen minutes to sink as many ships as you can. You must stay in the area SOUTH of Port Royal. The points for ships are as follows:

Ships of the "light" class or regular sloops: 0 points.
Galleons, Frigates, or War class ships: 1 point each.
Flagships (must not be of the light class, and must be crippled, boarded, and sunk): 2 points each.
Navy Elite or EITC Tyrant: 3 points.
Ship of the Line: 5 points.
The Queen Anne's Revenge (must be crippled, boarded, and sunk): 10 points.

Note that judges are not allowed to assist in the sinking of ships, except if they are fighting enemies on board a flagship. Also, you may not "farm" the same ship. You may not kill the same ship more than twice in a row. Below I have the rules summed up:

• Stay in the seas SOUTH of Port Royal. Leaving that area will result in one warning. If it happens again you are DQ'd.
• You get two gunners, and two gunners only. If one needs to log out, then you don't get another. They are allowed any cannon ram, and any ammunition they choose.
• Sailors are allowed any sailing charm of their choice.
• The kill goes to the person who dealt the FINAL BLOW on the ship. This means that if two competetors fight the same ship, only one will get the points. Due to this, excessive kill stealing or following of another competetor is not allowed.
• If you sink, you're done, even if the 15 minutes of time aren't up yet.
• As I may have said already, you may not kill the same type of ship more than two times in a row. If you do, the ship will not give you points.

This event will be taking place Thursday, June 16th at 7pm Eastern time! Make sure to be there! No shows will not be awarded points!

Oh Del, did you actually think I would give you rum? Silly goose!
