Anyway, as the Herald said, there is to be a Tournament, and it will be a test of knowledge. all those who wish to participate should
pm me by 5pm tomorrow (Tuesday 7th July) At 6pm I will post up the list of competitors, who will be paired against an opponent, and the first set of three questions. You will have until 5pm the following day to pm me your anwers. The winner will be the person who answers the most questions correctly, and in the event of a tie, you will be sent a tie-breaker question. The winners will progress to the next round, and the process will be repeated until only one person remains, and they shall be crowned the winner!
Helena: And while you're enjying the Tournament, don't forget to visit the fair, see the jugglers, listen to the story-tellers, and maybe stop by the stocks, throw an veggie or two....I hear they have someone in them at the moment [act]points to the stocks, which have Rushton locked in them[/act]
