Good morning! It's been noted that no Halloween Costume Contest was offered this year. Given that the Rebirth staff have been very busy with full-on zone+++ development work, that's understandable! Plus a lot of additional people have been very busy this year; those who would otherwise have coordinated a costume contest. So...

I am hosting an "It's a Tragedy!" Character Contest event on Saturday, 11/2/24 (tomorrow), starting 4pm US EDT sharp in Dark Astoria, between the hospital and base portal.
What's a Character Contest? It's more than just costume. You need to have a backstory written too. This contest is to encourage more in-character roleplay on Rebirth.

What's "It's a Tragedy!" about? Well, for this contest, don't focus just on horror or scares. Bring your most tragic character story and costume. I'll be judging on heartstring-pulling, emo, tragic circumstances for your character. Further, I'll judge on what I consider to be originality, along with effectiveness.

Important note: due to the focus of this contest, I likely need to remind some of us to keep it PG-13; there is a definite line for the tragedy without going too far!

Alright, so what are the prizes?
  • First place: 1,000,000,000 inf, a Hamidon Cystoskeleton Exposure enhancement, and an Apoocalypse: Chance for Negative Energy Damage enhancement.
  • Second place: 500,000,000 inf, an Imperial Might: Recharge/Chance for Knockdown/Knockback to Knockdown enhancement, and a Ragnarok: Chance for Knockdown enhancement.
  • Third place: 250,000,000 inf, a Panacea: Chance for +Hit Point/Endurance enhancement, and a Hecatomb: Chance for Negative Energy Damage enhancement.
  • Honorable mention: if there any honorable mention winners, they will receive 10,000,000 inf each.

Eligibility for prizes depends upon attendance: all players should only bring one character each; players are not eligible for additional prizes for multiple accounts/characters. No monster mash is planned, but who knows what some Game Master might do.

(If any long-term players would like to help judge rather than participate, please DM me via Discord and I'll include up to four others. Thank you!)
The goal is fun! Currently playing Alpine, Amberguard, And Go, As Flow the Years, Sesia, aTomiGrrl, Blurp, Eidolon Now, Meme Machine, and Wyldhaunt.

Wow, what a lovely idea!  Where would I go to participate in such an event?  With the Halloween event forcing perpetual darkness outside, the usual choice of Imperial City probably wouldn't work very well...
