Through the month of November we will be hosting 24 random draw events with real life items as prizes! All you need to do to enter the event is to sign up for a tournament and we will be picking a winner from all of the entrants! (You can also stick around and play in the tournament to try and win some additional prizes!) Each tournament will be seeded randomly and will include a drawing to give away a real life prize. The 8th pirate from the top down of the first bracket (not including 'bye's) will receive an inscribed ribbon trinket they can exchange for a shiny real life prize. The exact settings and the prizes for winning the tournament will vary. Just keep your eye out for the tournament with the title, "Random Real Life Prize Giveaway " and enter to win! The Schedule of drawings will be as follows: Saturday 31st October 1:00 PM Cobalt: Drinking 10:00 PM - Sage: Treasure Drop Sunday 1st November 9:00 AM - Hunter: Swordfighting 7:00 PM - Viridian: Rumble Friday 6th November 6:00 PM - Sage: Swordfighting Saturday 7th November 11:00 AM - Cobalt: Rumble Sunday 8th November 8:00 PM - Midnight: Treasure Drop Tuesday 10th November 6:00 PM - Hunter: Drinking Wednesday 11th November 7:00 AM - Malachite: Treasure Drop Thursday 12th November 10:00 AM - Midnight: Drinking Saturday 14th November 8:00 PM - Malachite: Drinking Sunday 15th November 11:00 AM - Viridian: Treasure Drop Monday 16th November 7:00 AM - Sage: Rumble Friday 20th November 10:00 AM - Midnight: Swordfighting Saturday 21st November 8:00 PM - Hunter: Treasure Drop Sunday 22nd November 10:00 AM - Malachite: Rumble Wednesday 25th November 10:00 PM - Cobalt: Swordfighting Thursday 26th November 8:00 AM - Viridian: Drinking Friday 27th November 11:00 AM - Hunter: Rumble 5:00 PM - Jade: Swordfighting 9:00 PM - Malachite: Swordfighting Saturday 28th November 10:00 AM - Sage: Drinking 8:00 PM - Midnight: Rumble Sunday 29th November 11:00 AM - Opal: Swordfighting 5:00 PM - Viridian: Swordfighting 9:00 PM - Cobalt: Treasure Drop Prizes!

Because I find schedules too challenging to read, I decided to rearrage it so it's listed by ocean. I decided to post it here just in case anyone has the same difficulty I have with reading such schedules: Midnight Sunday 8th November: 8:00 PM - Treasure Drop Thursday 12th November: 10:00 AM - Drinking Friday 20th November: 10:00 AM - Swordfighting Saturday 28th November: 8:00 PM - Rumble Cobalt Saturday 7th November: 11:00 AM - Rumble Wednesday 25th November: 10:00 PM - Swordfighting Sunday 29th November: 9:00 PM - Treasure Drop Viridian Sunday 15th November: 11:00 AM - Treasure Drop Thursday 26th November: 8:00 AM - Drinking Sunday 29th November: 5:00 PM - Swordfighting Sage Friday 6th November: 6:00 PM - Swordfighting Monday 16th November: 7:00 AM - Rumble Saturday 28th November: 10:00 AM - Drinking Hunter Tuesday 10th November: 6:00 PM - Drinking Saturday 21st November: 8:00 PM - Treasure Drop Friday 27th November: 11:00 AM - Rumble Malachite Wednesday 4th November: 7:00 AM - Treasure Drop Saturday 14th November: 8:00 PM - Drinking Sunday 22nd November: 10:00 AM - Rumble Friday 27th November: 9:00 PM - Swordfighting ---------------------------------------- Guppyzra of the Hunter Ocean Don't forget her...

The News post on the Notice Board for this event is very misleading. It states: "Drawings will be held throughout the month on all oceans..." After checking the schedule, I was rather disappointed to find out that this is not the case. Whether you want to believe it or not, or say that it's dead or not, Crimson is STILL an ocean. Yet, once again, it's completely passed over. It's really starting to get annoying that things that are supposed to be happening on ALL oceans don't happen on Crimson. The phrase all oceans doesn't mean "every ocean except Crimson", it means "every ocean". Now I can understand not having some things on Crimson because the population is much lower than the other oceans. In an event like this, it would give people on Crimson an advantage because there's not nearly as many pirates to compete against and the competition isn't nearly as stiff. But you really ought to stop saying "all oceans" when Crimson is not hosting any of these events. ---------------------------------------- Metallicat on Crimson Ocean |

Not only was Crimson not on the list, but the announcement was posted to the ocean noticeboard. I checked the tabs to see if it was announced under events or competitions or something and there was nothing. so apparently it indeed is not all oceans. Also of note, though it does not affect me, Opal and Jade were not on the list either. Are thes oceans being excluded or is it just a secret when these special tournaments are being held? |

That's true, but it doesn't justify an announcement that an event will be taking place across all oceans when 30% of the oceans do not have the event. I can understand not having the event. That's not what bothers me as much as the fact that the announcements for this event have outright lied. Not only have they lied, but they've lied on the very oceans that are omitted from the event. ---------------------------------------- Metallicat on Crimson Ocean |

A mistake is a misspelling, getting a date wrong, improper placement of an apostrophe, etc. Using terminology like all and every when a clearly significant proportion of your oceans aren't involved is a lie. ---------------------------------------- Metallicat on Crimson Ocean ---------------------------------------- [Edit 1 times, last edit by Bjsebeck at Nov 3, 2009 10:16:52 AM] |

I can think of one good reason why Crimson is not there.. besides any other REAL reasons.. Cause It would NOT give all the crimsonite kids a better chance cause all the OTHER ocean alts would be running over quicka as lightning to rip off the kids. And Am I wrong? I thought the Opal and Jade Events would be announced in their own forums in their own language?? Or perhaps .. they have different events linked to things more suitable at relevant times.?? ---------------------------------------- Wildsrose Of Midnight , Malachite, Hunter Jemmarose of Hunter, Calicorose of Viridian Avatar by Danisha of Midnight Dangling a golden carrot in front of a bunch of bunnys & then feeding it to the wolves is like popping a kid's Balloon. |

i dont think it would be okay for OOO to get crimson players addresses as they are below 13 or that was the goal of the ocean anyways ---------------------------------------- Randompanzy on every ocean mainly Viridian SO of Puzzling Privateers Royal of Imperial Madness

Well, the ocean is intended to be kid safe. Though, a majority of the players are older. There are, however, a decent number of parents who play with their kids on the ocean. The rest of the adults are people like myself who prefer to be on an ocean that forces proper spelling and grammar, and where you don't have to deal with nearly as many people behaving like 13 year olds as compared to being 13 years old. Realistically, older people are needed to keep the ocean functioning. I doubt that many people under the age of 13 are mature enough, and grasp the concepts well enough, to run shops and head crews. ---------------------------------------- Metallicat on Crimson Ocean |

Crimson was not included because we made a decision not to give away familiars on that ocean (at least, not in any of the traditional ways) - it was a mistake that it was advertised on Crimson, since it was never intended to be a part of the event. An unfortunate miscommunication but certainly was not done on purpose. I'm unsure what happened to the drawing this morning, I'll have to check with Cronus who's hosting and running the tournaments. |
