Deep in the jungles of Shartak where no light touched the barren earth, lays a hidden stone. Legend has it, the seven swords of the first seven to land on the island are kept, peserved in marble to be weilded by those who, by merit of their own hand brings glory to those seven dead.

The first sword is a scratched claymore that was wielded by Sir Ivan Johanston. The blade was said to have banished the queen of the Harpies herself from the top of the mountain. To pull this blade from the stone, you must prove your valor by killing the most shargles, said to be the spawned from the spilled blood of the queen in the native folklore of Raktam.

(This is the tale of the squire of Sir Johanston, whom risked his/her life defeating the most shargles. This part of the contest starts November 5th at 00:00 GMT, and will end Dec 5th. There is no second place, you succeed or you fail in this trial, but for those who do suceed will get one of the heavy swords I have, as well as another prize I will mention at a later date.

I suppose you'd sign up here, kill Shargles, and then I simply get who killed the most and award them the sword.

less regulation will do. let's just hunt in a given time period, no matter where you start or where you are...

What the hell do you mean starting location?

the contest starts Nov 5th, and will end Dec 5th.

That's it, from there to there, go nuts, kill Shargles, gank each other as well if you want. There's NO other rules save killing Shargles is good. Start up that mountain..
