When did you die last time? Are you still able to remember the thrill when the shaman drew your spirits towards him? Wasn’t this addictive fun and now you want more of it!

We got something for you. A new contest!
No matter where you come from, join the fun and manage to get killed by others as many times as you can during the time from January, 1st to January, 22nd.

1st prize:
  • The officially admirable title “DIE-A-HOLIC” accompanied by a public enthronement.
  • a heavy sword

The rules of the contest:
  • Simply go for getting killed by any other player which is not from your own settlement and log your death in the underworld.
  • Any means are allowed, camp an elephant, insult the shaman, injure yourself in any way you can think of, but always receive the last blow from another person’s hand.
  • Contribute to the prizes with 15 gold coins.
  • It’s a decentralized contest, any place on the isle will be fitting as the showplace of your death.

Additional style award:

Share your fun! Post in your creative ways of dying and win the performance-prize. The winner will be determined by a poll and will receive the title of “THE KENNIEST”.

All contestants will finally gather to celebrate theirselves and enthrone the winners on January 29th at a secret gathering place which will be announced soon.


And remeber out motto song, suicidical failure

Quote
I'm a suicidal failure, I've got to get some help
I have suicidal tendencies, but I can't kill myself

Foo Fighter is totally in and looks forward to many horrible deaths. 

Like a Sun Dance or something similar, it will strengthen him etc.

Sign up Brother-Captain Theos, and if you allow more than 1 character per person sign up Warboss Gorzod Grimteef as well. 

EDIT:  After contacting Brother Theos and informing him of this contest he angrily said that he would "never stain his honor by taking part in such a degenerate challenge for the entertainment of minions of the ruinous powers."

So we welcome Mr. Grimteef 


Anyone else wanting to boost his stats? Don't be afraid, it will change your whole opinion on dying!

I haven't died to anyone not my settlement in a long, long time. I'm not sure I want to be in. Actually, my luck I say I'm in, and no one even attacksa me for a month..


On second though...

No...  It's sometimes convenient (oh crap, I need to get back to village X) but never fun.  If it is fun, then perhaps the penalty of dying isn't enough?

Can't consider dying a penalty when you don't give a damn can you?

One of the aims of the contest actually is to valorize dying.
Join the contest and experience how it is to be happy about getting killed

Hmm... I can't say I'll be joining the contest, but I -will- be killing anyone that's joined in the contest, like some sort of... free kill machine. I think the friendly characters are going to have the hardest time winning this contest.

Hopefully, I'll be around in Derby to give people those much needed deaths. Goodluck to everyone!

Hmmm...

I sense this will be easiest for Pirates. They march into the ocean, get bitten by sharks, and let themselves die in the trader's hut - SOMEONE will always take the bait if they're under 30 HP. Always. Trust me, I do it.

read the rules, being killed by a person of your own settlement doesn't count
