Kidfest: Reign of Pirates
From FiranMUX
Contents |
Overview
Lady Cecilia IstaNydiam welcomes all children to Eesha's honored 43 A.U. Spring festival -- a time of excitement, and of rejoicing. But this Spring festival, it will also be a time of adventure. Welcome, children, to the Reign of Pirates! All Kidfest events can be expected to follow a theme of piracy. In the end, pentathlon winners, as well as the one overall winner (the child who has won the most events), will be granted a stay upon the Black Legacy. (In construction!) All winners (1st, 2nd, and 3rd place) of Kidfest events will receive steni prizes. 1st place winners of each event will have a chance to declare a new Pirate Law.
Rules
Partners
- Any children competing in an event with their declared Pirate Partner in attendance will receive -1 difficulty on all @checks. No penalty for the absence of a partner.
Oaths
- Any child caught breaking a Pirate Oath will receive +1 difficulty on all @checks for the duration of one Kidfest event. If the child is caught breaking his/her Pirate Oath a second time, the child will receive +1 difficulty on all @checks for the remainder of Kidfest. Two common children, or one noble child, required to witness and report the breaking of an oath. If you are caught making a false report, you will be penalized same as if you broke an oath. Lady Cecilia will review any evidence submitted. Remember, you're a pirate! You might try to cheat your oath -- but it's in everyone's benefit to catch you!
Laws
- Any child caught breaking a Pirate Law will be expected to pay penance as determined by the Kidfest coordinators and approved by one adult chaperone. Penance must be completed before the child in question can compete in any other Kidfest events. Report all infractions to Lady Cecilia.

- All pirates are Brothers and Sisters, and while they might fight among themselves, they must unite against those who are mean to them. Solidarity among brethren.
- All pirates must stick up for the weak, crippled and puny. Even pirates must set good examples on occasion.
- Treat the festival grounds and pavilions with care and respect. No vandalism. No burning them down.
- When someone uses a word that starts with Y, aside from yarr! all pirates are to Yarr! in response.
- All boy pirates must recognize the superiority of the girl pirates and call them Captain. The overall winner of the competitions gets called Captain by the girl pirates. (Astrea: Pirate Challenge!)
- No pirate shall hurt another, outside of the normal competition. (Willow: Vowel Movement)

A Pirate's Oath

- Where: Red Festival Pavilion
- Host: Cecilia
- What: Lady Eesha is, finally, also the goddess of oaths. Therefore, all children are expected to make an oath (not an oath sworn by the gods!) that will last the duration of the Festival. This oath is expected to challenge your willpower! Oaths may range from 'I will not eat my favorite food, grapes, till the end of the Festival!' to 'I will take a bath every day even though I hate them!' as long as an appropriate explanation is given for the Oath. If you are caught breaking your oath, expect to be penalized! A brief contest of willpower will be run after oaths are declared. NOTE: If you cannot attend this event, please submit your oath, via scroll or messenger, to Lady Cecilia. She will announce it for you!
