New Year New Barons (Event)

Post by Andrea Anderson »



Hey, it's 2021 now.
It's time to get rid of the old and bring in the new — and what better way to do that then to dethrone our sitting and rather comfy assortment of current titleholders.


Do your part to start 2021 with a set of fresh faced and, more importantly, new Barons!

Currently we have the Baronies of Battlefield Park, New Haven, and Dockside under challenge. That, sadly, won't do. All of them need to be contested and all of them need new Barons. How else will we look 2021 in the eye and say we did our best to start fresh? Which means — if there's a defense we need to have another Warlord or grant holder going right back into the thick of things to see that these remnants of 2020 aren't left alone!

There should not be a reign on the standings that read won in 2020 or before! This is the year of the Ox, show some of that bovine strength!

Now, what will you get by doing this? The pride of knowing that 2021 is your year to shine — but not only that. I am willing to forge any new Baron a weapon to go with their new station using what knowledge I've gained from Twilight Isle. With these magical weapons in hand I'd hope you would do a good job when it comes to defending your new home.

There's some who might also be asking: I don't duel, or I don't have rank to challenge for a title, is there something I can do to help?

Easy answer: Yes. Yes there is. Add a reply under this post with any items or funds you want to donate to the cause. It's a war effort, people! Anything helps!

I'll keep this going until the end of February! Good luck! Have fun! And remember, 2021 is BETTER than 2020!


- Andrea


(( OOC: Have fun with it. If you've seen my events on Twilight Isle, Break the Ice and Halloween Lotto, you can get the feeling of how the special weapons will play out. Anyone can post and contribute to this thread! Do you have a shop that might donate items to the cause? Have any forum money you don't mind parting with? Feel free to throw it into the prize pool! Have fun and let's enjoy this new 2021 year! ))

You see, I've been to hell and back so many times,
I must admit you kind of bore me."

To encourage more challenges and special events Twilight Isle is offering a cash prize to every challenge issued, an additional cash prize for either a challenge won or defended, and another cash prize to any event held or offered by a Title Holder!

- Issue a challenge: 1000 silver nobles
- Waive grace for your title: 1000 silver nobles
- Defend or win a title: 5000 silver nobles
- Host an event as a Title Holder: 7000 silver nobles

While I know that Andrea wants to encourage activity in the Arena specifically, I’d like to note that I’m extending these cash prizes to ALL THREE SPORTS. Get an Opal, Get a Ring, Get a Key! Like Andrea said, let’s show some bovine strength and get out there and have fun!
These cash prizes will begin to be awarded from January 5 through February 28th! (please have patience with me in awarding these, but I promise I will be watching the boards!)

(( Board / Forum Events COUNT! Not everyone can always host or show up for live events because of scheduling, but forum events are often a fantastic alternative to these! I’ll do my best to update this post with events and challenges so we can all follow along (and you can see if I’ve missed adding yours to ensure you’ll be getting your silver noble prize). Good luck and have fun everyone!! ))

Andrea,

If I waive my grace, will you forge me a weapon? We can discuss the specifics of said weapon later.

Sincerely,

Bailey Raptis

I would be willing to so long as you're challenged again within the time period. Win or lose, I'll make you a weapon then.

Attention, Dueling Participants!

As it is now the month of March, the Baron of Seaside will no longer be offering a cash reward to the first challenger to defeat him and lay claim to the 10th Baronial Ring. The Baron would like to thank those who attempted to seize upon the opportunity and helped him keep his blades sharp. Best of luck in your future endeavors!
