We’ve posted details about a new contest for players to enter during the month of July. Visit the forum for details!

Some player-run contests will be upcoming as well.

The tournament has finally come to an end, and the champion is Valena! She receives the gold and RPP rewards. Second place winner is Sariah, and third place winner is Katharine. All women!

For fun, the champion challenged Adalon to a duel, but lost. Valena is still our champion however. Go Valena!

Scath has announced the first round of tournament match-ups. You can view them on the forum.

Also the IC reward has been upped to 500 gold. The staff are also chipping in RPP for the winner and possibly participants

Tanwen has posted the three winning song lyric contest entries on the forum (must be an alpha tester to view).

Scath is also still collecting contestants for the tournament, please send a note to him if you are interested.

We also have yet -another- player run contest in the works I’ve been told, but a third player

Also you can now follow us on Twitter!

Tanwen has picked her three winner for the player-run Song Writing Contest.

First place winner of the song lyrics contest is:: Scath

Second place winner is:: Uldfrith

Honorable mention: Deirdre

Also in an unknown twist I will be awarding all three some RPP instead of just the winner. Once Tanwen has permissions from the players, she will be posting the entries on the forum.

In honor of Memorial Day, we are giving away double RPP all day. Enjoy!

Scath is holding an In-Character tournament between players, the details of which he’s listed on the forum.

I have also chipped in some RPP bonuses for first, second, and third place winners of the tournament. I hope to see many participate!

Tanwen has taken the initiative to run a player-run song-writing contest to celebrate the Month of the Muse in-game. If you are interested in participating, she has posted details on the forum

The winner will receive 300 gold and 10 RPP.

The players voted and the winner for the (de)Motivational Poster Contest is Adalon. His prize is 10 RPP This contest really came down to the wire with a 3-way tie between 3 different players, but you can blame Kiania for putting her vote in last minute to break the tie

Many of the other posters will be posted in the players section of the website soon.

Today for April Fools we are giving away double RPP as well as creating some general new chaos throughout the day. Today is also the last day to create your motivational poster for the April Fools contest, so don’t forget to make your entry There are already tons of good entries on the forum

I wanted to give some acknowledgment to Marauk and Adalon who have recently donated money to the Advent server costs. The server is now paid up until February 2010, which should leave plenty of room for advertising funds when we open for beta

Remember, we don’t ask for donations, and we certainly don’t give any in-game benefits for donations, but we will always give credit to our donators for showing their love of the game with their donations

We held a trivia night tonight, with all brand new trivia. Scores were tied for the most trivia won between Marsa, Remnon, Arsevu, and Damien. Good job guys!

I’m really happy that the trivia winnings seem to be more spread out now that people are becoming more familiar with the game and history.

Look for more trivia nights in the future

Our Limerick Contest results have been posted on the forum for our alpha testers. Our two winners are Remnon and Sord! Congratulations to you both

We are also starting another contest today to celebrate April Fool’s Day by creating (de)Motivational Posters for Advent. Details are on the forum

Don’t forget the easter egg hunt is still on. Details are also on the forum.

Siramus put forth his creative effort and created the first quarterly Advent newsletter. These newsletters will hopefully give a glimpse of what’s been going on in game, what plans we have coming up, as well as player contributions. We will be setting up a method for signing up for the newsletter with the launch of a new website soon. In the mean time, feel free to email us at imm[@]adventmud.org if you are interested in receiving this newsletter by email.

Alpha testers will have access to the newsletter on the forum
