Lord of the Pit (Felucca) Submitted by Martyna_Zmuir on May 15, 2013 at 7:22 PM CDT Originally posted May 14th, 2013 by EM Elizabella on the Great Lakes EM Site: Now that Dorstag is dead, the Pits of Carnage require a new champion. As is tradition, because the Lord of the Pit* was killed by more than one person, the new champion will be decided in the Pit of Void. Jospur invites all contenders to battle each other in the Pit of Void (in Felucca). A gate will open near the Felucca Brit. moongate at 8:00 p.m. CDT on Friday. It will remain open for fifteen minutes. Go through the gate into the Void Pit and IMMEDIATELY battle with each other! If you die and can get back into the Void Pit before the gate closes, you may do so. There are no rules. Your only goal is to be the sole survivor. Make whatever alliances you like, but realize that such groups must inevitably turn upon each other. The last one left alive is the new Lord of the Pit. If you die, it is likely that you will not be able to get back to your body. Your corpse and possessions are considered a sacrifice to the Titan of Void. *Just as Queen Elizabeth II is Lord of the Isle of Man and Duke of Normandy, a female champion of the pits is Lord of the Pit.

Mothers’ Day Safari, adventure all week! Submitted by Martyna_Zmuir on May 13, 2013 at 7:36 PM CDT Originally posted May 11th, 2013 by EM Elizabella on the Great Lakes EM Site: The Mothers’ Day Safari will be available all week, until Saturday. Begin at the Moonglow Zoo by reading the book Lady Artemis placed on the table. You can find a blank book to make into a field guide at any provisioners. You only need to list the foods the animals like. Leave your completed field guide in the mailbox anytime before Saturday, May 18th at 11:59 p.m. Everyone who gets at least 75% correct will be listed in a book in the Award Hall. Remember to “pets” and “hugs” the animals. Well, except for the hornets, of course. *grins* A note on the honey badgers: I see that someone was somehow able to eat their food (an orange pie named “Sugar Pie Honey Bunch”). The zookeeper hopes you did not make yourself sick. I have replaced it with edible pies and everyone will get credit for that question. [Discuss This Article]
