 it will be 24 hr NONSTOP pillage on a GRANDFRIG ... there will be AT LEAST 7 FAMILIARS to win this year!!!! date is set to start July 3, 2015.. at 10am game time ... and end July 4, 2015.. at 10am game time.. so it should not interfere with any blockades (jobbing offer goes up 9:30am) the format will be the SAME as previous years... Xmas in July 2011 Xmas in July 2012 Xmas in July 2013 Xmas in July 2014 we sail nonstop.. get into battles along the way... like a regular pillage.. with 3 main differences.... 1) everyone that comes.. will be given a FREE red candycane outfit (red stripeys) 2) every few minutes.. we will be doing fun things to win 1 of 400 wrapped presents ... that could be familiars--ships--pets--furniture--OM items--poe--dubs --or other great items ... 3) we will be keeping track of duty reports and giving out points based on performance.... with prizes for the overall top 3 scores in EACH station type (so the longer u stay the more points u can rack up.. points do NOT have to be consecutive.. yes you may leave and then come back.. so hop on often) Points will be given as follows: 2 pts. for each Incredible 1 pt. for each Excellent points for gunning will ONLY be counted using the Duty Report at the end of battles points for all other stations will ONLY be counted using the Duty Report at each League Point (NOT the DR before or after battles) SCORING WILL BE AUTOMATED... that means we will only need a momentary stop at each league point to tally.. a PRELIMINARY PRIZE LIST is as follows: Top combined OVERALL score (regardless of station(s)) will Win a parrot: Top MALE pirate will win a Green /Tan PARROT FAMILIAR!! Top FEMALE pirate will win a Red /Tan PARROT FAMILIAR!! both top winners will also receive a PORTRAIT for their page titled "Xmas in July Top Male (or Female) 2015" (a framed copy will be placed in our HALL OF FAME onboard the Event ship for posterity) The pirate that stays the LONGEST will win an ICEBLUE /WHITE PARROT FAMILIAR !! (if there is a TIE for longest, we will use an onboard gaming table to determine the winner, ie., each pirate spinning the roulette wheel once and highest number wins! a smaller prize will be given to those that do not win the playoff) 1st place Sails -Yuletide Class Sloop 1st place Rigs -Yuletide Class Sloop 1st place Carp -Yuletide Class Sloop 1st place Patching -Yuletide Class Sloop 1st place Bilge -Yuletide Class Sloop 1st place Guns -Yuletide Class Sloop 2nd place Sails -Red /Green Decorated Cutter 2nd place Rigs -Red /Green Decorated Cutter 2nd place Carp -Red /Green Decorated Cutter 2nd place Patching -Red /Green Decorated Cutter 2nd place Bilge -Red /Green Decorated Cutter 2nd place Guns -Red /Green Decorated Cutter 3rd place Sails - Red /Green Decorated sloop 3rd place Rigs - Red /Green Decorated sloop 3rd place Carp - Red /Green Decorated sloop 3rd place Patching - Red /Green Decorated sloop 3rd place Bilge - Red /Green Decorated sloop 3rd place Guns - Red /Green Decorated sloop There will also be "S E C R E T - T R I G G E R " prizes (special prizes) TAN MONKEY NAMED "ELF", TAN OCTOPUS FAMILIAR NAMED "RUDOLPH" There will be 400 wrapped presents this year!!!

Oldwater has purchased and has donated a NEW UNOPENED BOX SET!!!... now... PP has said: Offering real-life prizes We are not comfortable with events hosted on this site offering prizes that require winners to provide mailing addresses. We therefore request that you do not do this. so.... once a winner is determined...the box set can be opened... and u will be given the ONE-USE code.... which u can then enter via the YPP website..... for anyone that doesnt know.. the box set is VERY special... and will give u a FOREVER BACKSWORD (never dusts) OR HAT (never dusts)... REALLY great prize... ty OLDWATER!! ---------------------------------------- Pegasiswolf- Captain of Dream Catchers and Queen of Fleet of Dreams -Emerald host of XMAS IN JULY event 2011 to 2020 "maintaining a positive attitude may not fix all of lifes problems, but it should annoy enough ppl to make it worth the |

O_O I'd have to make a withdraw from the UADB (Under Admiral Docks Bank - "Where all those sank Dubs and PoE Go!") to make that a prize Jimmie! *"Where all those sank Dubs and PoE Go!" is the registered property of the UADB, used with credit.

Can't they allow us to have a portrait with them even if we do the commission cost? I'd really die just to have a portrait with Calliope!

I think the OMs do portraits with pirates typically only when won as a prize during an official event (hosted by the OMs). What makes this special is that THEY are the one commissioning it. So it'll read something like, "Commissioned by Gaea aboard the fine vessel "Xmas in July" on the fourth of July 2015." And Pega, Challenge Accepted! I figure my goal for those parrots next year will be ~10m PoE. ---------------------------------------- Oldwater the Emeraldian SO of The Chat Boochers Prince of Slightly Pixilated Avatar by Darkfaery |

yes it will read commissioned by Gaea... (u dont see them commissioned by the OM).. BUT....... Gaea wont be ON the ship standing around for 24hrs waiting to do the portrait.... the winner will need to just send her a message at a later time and show her the trinket to collect the prize.... altho Gaea (and all other OMs) have a standing invite to join us on the ship during the event..... (and if they do....MAYBE someone MIGHT be able to sweet-talk them into a portrait).... but there ARE portrait easels all over the ship... if u would like to get a portrait alone or with friends... it will read 'aboard the fine vessel "Xmas in July" on the 3rd (or 4th) of July'..... and make a wonderful momento... if YOU would like to commission one with Pegasiswolf (dressed as Santa of course)... just ask... im happy to join ur portrait... just be patient as it is pretty hectic during the event.....and i may miss chat at times ---------------------------------------- Pegasiswolf- Captain of Dream Catchers and Queen of Fleet of Dreams -Emerald host of XMAS IN JULY event 2011 to 2020 "maintaining a positive attitude may not fix all of lifes problems, but it should annoy enough ppl to make it worth the |

With a permission from Peg, I'm shamelessly posting this... Whoever wins the Bia egg, find me - I'll buy it off from you :) It is more than likely that I can't join this pillage so my chances to win anything are slim. I do wish you all happy Xmas though, now get to work! ---------------------------------------- ~ Sizzly of Emerald ~ Avatar by Aerecura <3 |
