Lottery, Tumblerace, and Twins Tournament

It's all happening soon! The lottery drawing will occur at 6pm GMT. Buy
your tickets while you can!

At 7pm GMT, we will start the Y450 Tumble Races. Some have been curious
whether balance modifiers, racial or otherwise, will be taken into
account during the tumble races. The answer is no, everyone will have
the same tumble speed. Others have asked if those without the ability
Tumble will be able to race. The answer is yes. Little grey owls tell me
that some of the especially ill-behaved amongst you are thinking of
trying to brazier people out of the tumble race. You are very naughty.
Fortunately for you, that is not possible, which will save you from a
smiting for your own good.

At 10pm GMT, with any luck, we will begin the Twins Combat Tournament.
This will be a single-elimination competition, which means a single
defeat will knock you out of the entire tournament. These tournaments
typically last a long time due to the large number of teams that enter,
so come prepared -- the last two have taken approximately 6 hours to
finish.

I hope you're all enjoying Year 450! See you at the lottery drawing!

Penned by my hand on the 25th of Scarlatan, in the year 450 AF.
