Diamond Quest LXXV! *

[Goldglo]

The 75th Diamond Quest will take place on Sunday, October 20th at 8pm by the eastern clock. The Outback's seen an uptick in duelers making Emerald rank over the last couple cycles so it's quite possible that the 75th Diamond might just be a first-timer! If you're interested in participating, sign up below!

[Jake]

Might be fun to face some of these newcomers.

[Corlanthis]

Signing up now before Harris yells at me.

[Gren Blockman]

I would like to enter this Tournament.

[Vanion Shadowcast]

A tournament of gender role-confused women, sloppy men, and a Ranger?

I will participate, to provide an element of grace and skill that will otherwise remain missing from this tournament.

[Fourth]

You know I'll be there. No doubt.

[Andrea Anderson]

I'd like another Diamond. I'm in.

Cor. Let's rep Team DoS!

[Goldglo]

It's been too long since I last competed in one of these. I'm in.

[Seirichi]

Hey, Matt. If the Outback is rich enough to buy a Diamond every cycle, how about setting up a buffet during the event? Buffalo wings shouldn't cost THAT much.

[Jake]

Posts a note, written in red crayon, on the bar in the Outback.

Orktoberfest ale, on the house, throughout the rest of Orktober!

Drink up!
