Moonglow Presents; The Britannian Tall Ship Race
Date: Sunday, August 21st 2016 at 7:00pm Est.

It has been quite a long time since Moonglow has had a large scaled event. We the people, and it's Governor Merek Penrose would like to welcome you all to their first annual Britannian Tall Ship Race. The race will take place in Moonglow and will see ships racing their way around Verity Isle. Moonglow has always been a place of rich heritage and history. It is time we give back to our great and ever striving community.

The goal is to create an atmosphere where we can gather all the Governors of the nine cities for some competitive fun. Each Governor will be required to select a crew of 1-4 to represent their city, and will submit their crews names a week prior to the event start date. Only one tall ship will be allowed to enter per city. The Governor's may use whatever means they choose to select their crews (1-4 pers.)

My plan is to have nine ships gathered at the Moonglow Docks. The nine ships will line up and race around Verity Isle, hitting checkpoints on the way. I am not aware of the last time a Tall Ship race has been held on the Catskills server., but I assure you it will be fun for all.

Prizes are as followed; 1st 30 Million, 2nd 15 Million and 3rd 5 Million. The crews may share the gold with their city or Governor, it is their call once the gold is handed to them.

Britannian Tall Ship Race Side Events

Naming Moonglows Third Tall Ship - A prize of Six Million gold will be awarded to who ever can come up with the best name for Moonglow's third Ship. Currently Moonglow possesses two Britannian ships (The Leviathans Lash, and Krakens Kiss.) Names will be accepted between August 1st to August 18th. All names after this time frame will be rejected. Only one name may be entered per player. A thread will be created on the Catskills Stratics allowing for all members of the community to participate. If the Winner is unable to attend the event on August 21st he/she will be contacted through the forums. The winner has one week to claim their prize – If the player is unable to collect the prize, the Gold will be donated back into the Cities Funds.

The Gold Drop - Six million in prizes. Gold will be split amongst the Greeters. Once the “hand” drops they will quickly toss books with Gold values onto the dock while the spectators run frantically attempting to pick up as much as they can. Simple event to allow everybody to win.

Pick the Pea - Three million gold will be given to a random greeter. The greeters will stand in a line and a random spectator will have a chance to choose what greeter is holding the prize. If selected properly, they will win. A seat will be chosen prior to seating, the person who sits in that seat will be the lucky player.

The Raffle – There will be a dexxer imbued armor set given away during the closing ceremonies. (I can give details on stats later.) Random numbers will be placed within an in game book. Each random number will be paired with a random five letter word so that no spectator is able to cheat. The number will be drawn from a hat and the prize given to them.

LESS THAN A MONTH AWAY !!

Update;

Work is under way as Moonglow works hastily to prepare for the Annual Britannian Tall Ship Race.

Citizens of Moonglow continue to work effortlessly to make this Event one to remember.

I ask that the Governors start looking toward selecting Crews to represent their cities. Feel free to choose your Representatives by which ever means you see fit!

I am looking forward to hearing from all of you!

Due to a Lack of Responses, the event has been CANCELED.

I will try my best to get this up and running at a later date.

My experience so far with stratics and Catskills folks is ....there isn't much response from anyone...or sometimes a slight negative response ....ya just gotta go out on a limb and try it anyway.....I'm no governor but I'd bet I could get a team together from our group of people
