Saturday. November 3rd, only mere days after the restless spirits of champion trolls and raging crocodiles have ceased to haunt the poor inhabitants of the wurm world, you find yourself on the northeast coast of the celebration server. A good look around tells you where you are; Northern Sanctuary. Many boats paint the scene, in the background a long wall of high hedges dooms up. People are anxious to set sail in their ships and conquer the prizes out of the maze. I hereby announce Halloween at Northern Sanctuary! Okay, so it's a few days after halloween since the actual halloween is on a weekday. Instead, I would like to invite everyone who is interested in having a good time, meeting people, and maybe even winning some prizes, to attend the halloween events the weekend after. Saturday november 3rd, around 5PM GMT, I would like to hold a small sailboatrace. Details about the route will be announced at the site. Prizewise, the winner of the boatrace will receive a halloween-style bloodred painted cog! Second prize will be a 70 ql compass, and the third prize will be a lurker in the deep pendulum and a set of fishing rods. (rare, supreme, or fantastic sailboats are excluded from this race. If you want to participate but do not have a regular sailboat, let me know and I can borrow you one.) 6:30PM GMT that day I would like to hold a maze competition. I have set up a maze with tall hedges, and will hide a stack of items within. Find the stack, take one item, and hurry back to the exit. The person who makes out it back out first with the item, will receive a nicely casted Lifetransfer weapon of their choice. Second prize will be a lurker in the wood pendulum and a 90 ql lantern, and the third prize will be an enchanted meditation rug. The same day, around 7:30PM GMT, I plan on a lottery style horserace. You will have to pick a horse, but will not see the traits. You have to be lucky and pick the good guy out ! The person to make it back through a course first will receive a drake jacket in the colour of their choice.The second prize will be a set of 80 ql 70+ woa horse shoes, and the third prize will be a 90 ql toolbelt. After this, every visitor will receive a lovely surprise souvenir to enjoy the rest of the evening. Thanks Laiwyn for your kind donation! You can find Northern Sanctuary on the Celebration server, at BH 48 on the following map; http://noizeviolatio...wurm/CelebL.png I have not officialy organized more events, but who knows what might pop up Beds, altars of each god, meals, and other amenities are all available on the site. A headsup if you're planning to attend is appreciated. Just leave a reply below Hopefully this will be a fun event! Happy Halloween!

This is the signup thread for the boat racing taking place at the Summer Festival this year at the Guild of Artificers. They will be exciting to compete in and to watch! There will be 3 different types of boat race at the festival, all organised by me. You can sign up for any of the races in this thread - and I'll also post details about racing here too. Please use the main Summer Festival thread for general discussion and feel free to PM me if you have any questions. The festival runs from Friday 27th July to Sunday 29th July. I'm hoping to run races 1 and 3 on Saturday afternoon and race 2 on Sunday evening. These times however are NOT finalised. All times are/will be GMT and race 2 may be moved to Saturday afternoon/evening, leaving Sunday evening as a "backup slot." You can view rules for the racing here. It's important that you read through them before races start. Don't worry though, they aren't long and are relatively obvious stuff. If there's anything you're unsure about then I can answer questions in-game. To apply for a race you should fill out one of the forms in this post and reply to this thread with it. Anyhow, now for race details. 1. Long sailboat race This will be a single-handed sailboat race set over a long course. The prize for the victor is a Caravel! Competitors will have to sail around a course of ~15 minutes in length, rounding buoys and pieces of land. The start will be on the water and I aim to run 3 separate "rounds" of this race. 2. Short sailboat race This will be a race for teams of 5, around a shorter course nearer the shore. I am to run 3 rounds for this race. The prize for the winning team is a Knarr! The course will be of ~10 minutes in length. The start will be in "Le Mans" style from the shore - and all 5 team members have to be onboard the boat before you start... making this race one for the spectators too!! xD As for applying, there are 3 options. You can either apply with your own full team (minimum 5 people, you can have reserves,) apply with a partial team (2-4 people) or apply on your own. Race staff will then work together to make sure that everybody is a member of a full team and that nobody will miss out. Your team Captain is responsible for organisation and he is who race staff will talk to if necessary; however, any team member may helm the boat on the day. 3. Rowing boat race This race will be for new players only. If you enter in race 3 you may not apply for races 1 or 2. The prize is a sailboat - something worthwhile to any new player! The race will be around maple island with a water start. I intend to only do 1 round.

More details are in the posts below. Links: How to apply I'm also in need of more race staff. ~4 people are needed to help out on the day.
