Mr. Cannith 2011

[nicnivyn]

Another High Rollers sponsored event! Originally inspired by Nexx on my home server of Khyber.

Can you solo Epic Wiz King? Single-handedly bring the smack down to Suulomades? Make the Demon Queen beg for mercy? Leap tall air-ship towers in a single bound?

Yeah, we don't care about any of that. No, the question is -- can you Look Good Doing It. Are you Mr. Cannith material? Find out!

Date: Saturday February 12th, 12:00pm PST (3:00pm EST)
Location: House Phiarlan, upstairs near the Auctioneer

Rules for entry:

1. Character must be male.
2. Player must have a sense of humor.

The low-down.

Characters will participate in four rounds of competition; Best Dressed, Swimsuit, Dance Off, and DDO Trivia.

Best Dressed: Each entered character can select and display up to three coordinated outfits. If it looks good, wear it! Armor and helmet slots can both be used.

Swimsuit: If you got it, flaunt it! After showing off the outside, get down to basics. Because we all love brown leather undies.

Dance Off: Tumble, flip, dance, jump - display your best moves for the judges!

DDO Trivia: Trivia about our favorite waste of time! Changed due to feedback, no one remembers 2ed. (apparently I *am* old).

Prizes (subject to change):

1st Place: 2 Flawless red dragon scales
2nd Place: +2 Tomes STR, DEX, WIS, INT, and CHA
3rd Place: 1 large Ingredient Bag, +2 STR tome and 100k plat

Automatic extra point to any entrant meeting the following criteria during any life: halfling + any number of Barbarian levels. Because they're still the most adorable things in the game.

And for the less good looking amongst you - the Brown Paper Bag award!

Don't feel you can compete with the best dressed of Cannith? Kept your eyes closed during character generation and now your face looks like the south end of a north bound Hezrou? Have 'show helmet' always toggled on because otherwise tramatized halflings would run screaming? This is the catagory for YOU!

Prize: +1 Lesser Heart of Wood - because if you're THAT ugly you need to Lesser Reincarnate NOW. Please. Think of the halflings.

Contact me for further details in game. More information to be posted later.

Have fun!

Well, with this judge warforged are at a disadvantage in all catagories! But there will be up to 12 judges so you would just have to find out for yourself.

Didn't the rules say "must be male gender". Gender neutral pseudo-robots may have to suffer a -4 charisma penalty (added to their racial inadequacy in this area)

Is there a talent competition?

Because my male human Virtuoso with Village People mustache thinks playing mandoline in his leathers is absolutely fabulous!

His name is Sensate. Please sign him on!

[Nexx]

Very nice! Glad to see this event taking off on other servers.
Hope you host it every year.
We were lucky to get +Sir Lawrence at the first annual Mr. Khyber event formally known as Mr. Riedra. He gave the winner his "crown" and it's been a tradition to pass it down to the winner every year.

Perhaps we could try and get a GM to pop in and give away their "crown" for your Mr. Cannith

Good luck to the contestants and have a blast!

Another reason why I'm proud to be associated with these guys.

I thought about joining the competition but I found out I sold my pimpiest outfit (Not enough banking space to keep stuff only based on its looks). Still in case I change my mind I'm wondering does one need to apply earlier to take part or is it possible to just just show at the event and join?

[sultro]

well, i'm old 2. any chance for a bonus question from 2nd ed?

[nicnivyn]

There's no need to pre-apply, just show up at the event and let me know if you're a contestant or would like to judge. Competition will start promptly at the appointed time. Good luck!

Don't forget! Event today at 3PM ET | 12PM PT
