Welcome to Fall, Time of Darkness!
I love this time of year, this is definitely the best time of the year from now until February is the time of year I live for!
In the spirit of the season, ToD is going to be chock full of good stuff.
All the Immortals are going to be sponsoring a Halloween event. Expect them to start next week and run through the first week in November to keep you people occupied and satisfied.
Darkstar will be sponsoring a quest with creepy mobs and the graveyard.
I will be sponsoring the Costume parade and Spooky Story contest.
There will also be a scavenger hunt and trick or treating.
The Spooky Story Contest
You do not have to register for this one. Stories are due by 10/29 so if you feel like writing one then just do it! Please don't think it has to be anything grand or worry because your English isn't perfect (I couldn't write a story in Romanian). I've seen many of you blog and you all write better than you think you do.
It also does not have to be long. One page is fine. It can be long if you enjoy writing, there is no maximum limit.
All stories collected will be posted on a link off the blog and the website and yes, you may remain anonymous.
The Costume Contest
This one needs signing up for. In the past players had hesitated before joining the Costume contest because they didn't want to use their own quest points for the restrings. I thought about that and it's a valid issue.
All people signing up for the Costume Contest will receive 1500 quest points to make their costume. This is not to be exploited, people who sign up and receive the 1500 quest points better make a costume.
Costumes are also not to be kept in a PK loot. If you kill a player and loot a part of their Halloween costume, please return it.
Registration for the Costume Contest ends October 27th.
Please note Immortals to join.
There must be a minimum of ten people who sign up for the Costume Contest. It takes nothing on your part and it's a fun event, if we have to beg people to sign up then it's not worth it.

Okay ladies:
Its sign up time, for all those of you who have been
waiting for the best of class, the time is now. All
you have to do is note to "immortals" and give us your
name for the MK: BoC event.
However, this time its going to be a little different
MK: BoC will not be a single night event. From the
list of names brackets will be aranged and matches
will be arranged at player conveniencet (ie. the
matches will occure when two people of the BoC match
when there are two people of that class signed up,
logged in) So its going to look much like a sports
play off, and all results will be posted.
There are, as always rules to MK: BoC
1) For the BoC of each class to occure I require that no
fewer than 5 of a class must sign up for that class
championship to occure.
2) There will be no alts, each player picks their best
class and will play that, you will not be allowed
alts to compete in every class event.
3) The usual MK rules will apply in BoC, No Charming, no
heat metal, no pipes.
We'll have the next 2 weeks as a sign up period, so
chose your favorite character and sign up, I'll close
sign up on November 8th at 11:59 pm (EST).

The Halloween Contests are still taking place and are soon ending. The deadline for all three will be October 31, 2003.
The costume eq restring will happen on October 31 in the Slasher Retreat ballroom, tentatively scheduled for 8pm-midnight eastern time. You costumes must be one theme only, may not be ascii pictures. You may use as many or as few slots as you like when making your costume.
I will be collecting halloween gourds from people UNTIL October 31 at midnight. Turn them in ONCE, not in a piecemeal fashion.
Lastly, I have not seen any attempts at writing a scary story posted here on the blogsofroleplay site which included your characters and a situation here in the realms. The deadline for the story is October 31, so get writing already!
All Hallow's Eve approaches and the realms girds itself for the celebrations. The Slasher Retreat, home of despicable killers and monsters from ages yon, has resurfaced amid the new Ventrue Moors, seek ye out and ye shall find it. New adventure and old lies within.
Halloween Celebrations (ooc) :
1.) Gourd Collection Contest : seek the gourds of halloween in Slasher Retreat, both hidden and possessed by creatures, for he or she that acquires the most shall win a great prize. Deadline for entries is October 31, 2003.
2.) Horror Stories/Campfire Screamers : this contest requires you to open a blogofroleplay account and write an IN CHARACTER horror story/encounter/scary tale. The Immortals shall review each entry and judge the best for prizes. You may submit ONE story, and the title MUST be HALLOWEEN HORROR. Deadline for entries is October 31, 2003.
3.) Ballroom Costume Party : Once again you may don your best restrung costumes and try to win the halloween prize. Requirements: your costume must be WORN equipment that you restring. You must stay within one theme for your costume. You MAY NOT use ascii graphics. You do not need to use all equipment slots, only as much as or as little as you believe fills your costume requirements. (To Be Announced)
That is what your immortals have planned as of yet, if other events come to light,you shall find them posted here.
I've said before that I shall be moving all information about upcoming events and Kjeldoran issues here rather than that pesky public board no one reads. I shall mark my words in dragonsblood ink here and if they are too ingnorant to find their way here then there is nothing I can do for them.
In the absence of such key players as the skilled wizard who can bring to life the unfinished works we have waiting and the one who will harness the quests and breathe life into the lands not yet complete, we have decided to take the time and the effort to imrpove life in Kjeldoran as it is now.
Navarre began the overhaul with the granting of living quarters. There are a few new lands soon to appear and I have assigned myself a few tasks as well. Let it be known to all that these following things are currently being attended to.
Clan Overhauls: This is a rare opportunity for those not quite content with the current status of their clan to take an active part in doing something about it. Whether it be renovations to the hall, new information on the clan ethos or a totally new ranking system, this is the time to ask.
Code-Sorceress for clans: Myself
Build-Sorcerer for clans: Ask Navarre politely
New Quest Items: It is time for the Kjeldoran shop to offer some new and improved items. We have opened up the floor to the citizens and have received some quality suggestions. The goal is to offer a full set of quest equipment and some multiple pieces for those not yet a Hero. We will leave the name of the item creator in the item itself, giving the citizens a chance to immortalise their name in quest wear. Keep the suggestions coming.
Code Sorceress for Quest Items: Myself
Existing Lands: It is time some fresh air was blown over some of the staler lands around Kjeldoran. There will be new creatures carted in, new treasures imported and new challenges to overcome in old places. We may or may not let them know, it depends on the mood.
Mortal Kombat/Best of Class/Team Gang-Bang: This is the only place I shall post on the updates of this three-day gala. Should enrollment requirements not be met the combined wrath of eight angry Gods shall rain upon Kjeldoran and all those who reside there. As it stands now:
Mortal Kombat: Is safe and will occur with the following beings signed up:
Kaiko
Kioska
Ihsahn
Thazud
Volrath
Foxx
Acheron
Loky
Syph
Sparky
Khazu
Kedri
Crimson
Kurgan
Zylkor
Azura
Carbuccle
Nikkel
Janemba
Silthe
Redic
Doomdrake
Best of Class: Future uncertain as people seem to adopt the "I know I can't win so why bother" attitude that annoys us all so much. As it stands now:
Alchemists: Ihsahn and Lothario
Assassins: Doomdrake and Foxx and Ryden and Silthe
Barbarians: Azura and Thazud and Zylkor
Bishops: Carbuccle and Khazu
Demons: Kioska and Khnum and Redic
Paladins: Dreamer Janemba and Kaiko and Kurgan
Sorcerers: Crimson and Kedri and Sparky and Volrath
Telepaths: Acheron and Nikkel and Ranec and Syph
Teams: None yet, I understand people are still putting teams together.
I have to say I'm disappointed in the Best of Class so far but I will hold out the faith in the mortals that they are not all fat and lazy and bloated with ale and unwilling to participate in games of strength.
I shall end this now, close the entry with the Mark of Morakai and send word via that cursed public board that information is now to be found here.
And that is all.
Kali
