Name Our Booze!
  • We need names for our signature whiskey and spirytus drinks. All submitted names should try and incorporate the culture, history or strengths of the City of Moonglow. These are liquors we want to showcase our city. All names must be submitted by book in-game in the Moonglow Community Center's mailbox. Submissions will no longer be accepted after the 15th of October.
    • The liquors to be named are whiskey and spirytus.

We may choose more than one winner per liquor. The winners will be announced on this forum and www.catskillsrp.com on Saturday the 22nd.

  • The prize for each chosen name is a keg of that alcohol and 1 million gold pieces.



Showcase your Alcohol!

We will be accepting donations of barrels of matured liquor from other cities and distilleries. We will be distributing them free to guests throughout the festival.

  • You may submit as many barrels as you like.

General Information
Welcome to Moonglow's tribute to boozel!

We have a couple of topics to get out of the way before we get to the details of events.

Honesty. Moonglow is the city of Honesty and as such we expect all contestants and visitors to hold true to that virtue for the duration of the festival weekend. Many of our events have an element of trust in them. Cheating will not be tolerated, nor will thievery of guests, citizens or shops. We expect all contestants to familiarize themselves with the rules of the events they are participating in and abide by the King's laws while on Verity Isle. We will repeat the rules prior to the beginning of each event. If you have a question, ask. Participants ruled to be cheating by the host of a particular event or found to be suspect of theft by officials will be banned from participating in any remaining events.

Overcrowding. We currently have most events set-up to run for ten contestants. We have no idea if we will have a lot who will want to participate events or only a small crowd. We would like to give the majority of people the chance to participate in most events if they choose. In an effort to troubleshoot this possible issue, we may run certain events more than once if we have enough interested individuals and time and crowd allow for it. Winners of subsequent rounds will be eligible for duplicate prizes. There are two exceptions to this. First exception is the Polar Bear Brawl as we were only licensed to capture and import only so many polar bears for the festivities. The second is the horse race. Racers will compete in heats of 5. The winners of each heat will compete at the end against one another for a grand prize.


Souvenir Vendor

  • We will have a souvenir vendor at the Moonglow Community Center. We will be stocking items in a wide range of prices that are related to the theme of our event. All profits from the vendor will go into our events fund for future public entertainment. If you had a fun time at our event, take a moment and purchase a small item and show your support!

"I've never... killed a person."​

Thank you for everyone who came out tonight! We hope you had fun and enjoyed your gold! I think between ties, additional games and some "secret contests" (Like first to get drunk in a game, the one who got naked the most, etc) we gave over 10-15m in awards. I hope we see as great of a crowd tomorrow night! 8pm EST - We will run four new games and of course, lots of booze.

If you had fun, feel free to stop by our souvenir vendor... we had stacked liquor bottles, clothing and items crafted by "a drunk" and some cool player made bottles in a wide range of prices.. We also have a 'blood pie' and a 'halloween pumpkin pie.' for those with deeper pockets. Proceeds will go towards funding future events.

Thank you all so much for your support and participation!

Here are some screenshots from 10/22/16

If anyone else took some, please share!

We raised our bottles in salute to all those we have lost. We also bid PEC Naniwa safe travels on his journey that lay ahead and let him know he would be missed.
