Year 400 - Celebration of the Stars

Written by: Razmael, the Synthesist
Date: Wednesday, September 4th, 2013
Addressed to: Everyone


Here is the schedule for the Celebration of the Stars, Year 400ma in
Aetolia!

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++ ALL TIMES AND DATES LISTED ARE IN GMT TIME +++
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

This is a list of all major events with prizes that we have planned for
the Celebration. There will be numerous impromptu events held through
the Celebration as well, possibly with minor prizes. Depending on how
the revelry goes, we may even update our planned major events with even
more events!

This is a LARGE amount of events and refering to the announce post every
time you want to look up the information is unwieldy. As such, we've
taken this opportunity to overhaul our EVENTS command. You can now view
extended information on an event by doing EVENT INFO <#>, which will
contain all the information in this post, and more! Refer to EVENT INFO
for prizes each event will be giving out.

You can now also CONFIG TIMEZONE to set your timezone. This will be
reflected in the extended EVENT INFO page, which will list the time/date
of the event for your timezone. This config does not reflect any
daylight savings at all, you'll need to adjust that manually if needed.
CONFIG TIMEZONE by itself will tell you what it thinks the current
time/date is for you, so you can double check you have the right
timezone set.

The winner of each of the events will gain a single point for their
city. At the end of the Celebration, the city that has gained the most
points will receive a prize - a small embassy within Delve. Only
citizens of your city will be able to enter the embassy, which will
contain a two-way portal direct to your city.
