Hi Mikos, Sea Breeze Tavern was destroyed in a storm and replaced with Firefly Villa/Luna Rest. Can you please reconfirm the location for this event?

Thanks!


Some lady softly says, "Naamit is over-rated."
You reply, speaking to the lady, "At least I have ratings."

I don't have any skin in the game, but it seems odd that the T3 unlocks are after the T4 unlocks.

Actually, I like that ordering--or would, had I not achieved a T4 baldric already--because it reduces the field of competition to only "those who already have a T3", rather than having a field a few persons larger.
Then, NEXT year, those folks who win the second round--now stepping up to a T3--would be able to similarly take advantage....

>"Sea Breeze Tavern was destroyed...replaced with Firefly Villa"

Revised Location: Firefly Villa, Meeting Hall - for both unlocking sessions

Thank you for catching that. I need to get out more.

> "...it seems odd that the T3 unlocks are after the T4 unlocks."

Krakii's comment in response to this observation is precisely on mark.

And scheduling the T4 unlocks first prevents anyone from trying to double-dip by stacking a T3 win and a T4 win on the same item on the same day. It means it's one less type of rule-bending that I have to watch for.

I'd prefer if more unlocks occurred in this fashion of reverse order for all items when offered.


As I gaze over the horizon, the wind tugs at my cloak and whispers, "Adventure" in my ear.

A squeaky halfling nearby asks, "Why you playing with orcs heads and troll rearends?!"
