| Recap |
| |
|.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*.|
| |
| During December 16 and January 3 the Wheel-Of-Fun was |
| spun a total of 5.380 times, which is the most recorded |
| spins since the start of this tradition in 2015. |
| |
| During the first three years people have always claimed |
| they are the most unlucky, and everyone else are so lucky, |
| so this year a competition was created to determine who |
| actually is the luckiest. Turns out it's Montagu! |
| |
| The competition was very close for a long time, and the |
| lead changed many times. Bones looked like a potential |
| winner with a few days left, but ended the event with |
| five bad spins in a row and finished in fourth place. Rex |
| piled up a couple of good spins near the end to finish |
| third. Eventually there were only two participants left, |
| and it came down to the last spin for Montagu and |
| Bardlin to determine the winner, with Montagu holding |
| on to a one point lead. When Bardlin spun a zero it was |
| all over, but to prove his luck Montagu scored one more |
| point to win by two. |
| |
| After winning Montagu said he had "Never been so lucky!". |
| We can only agree, since as most of you know, the odds of |
| winning anything useful at all aren't that great. So, to |
| pull off 13 points is very lucky indeed. |
| |
| Here is what Montagu won: |
| |
| Date Prize Points |
| |
| Dec 16 A fat bastard cake - |
| Dec 17 A pair of knee-high brown boots 1 |
| Dec 18 A deep-blue full plate armour 1 |
| Dec 19 A jagged silver longsword - |
| Dec 20 A serpentine ivory armlet - |
| Dec 21 A black rose - |
| Dec 22 A massive bone-spiked shield 1 |
| Dec 23 A plate armour of Solamnus 1 |
| Dec 25 A runed ironwood staff 1 |
| Dec 26 A pentacled silver ingot - |
| Dec 27 A decorated iron champron 1 |
| Dec 28 A flowing ermine-lined robe 1 |
| Dec 29 A bloody steel axe 1 |
| Dec 30 A pair of black-rimmed glasses - |
| Dec 31 A black-gem ring 2 |
| Jan 1 A big red gift box (300pc) 2 |
| Jan 2 A bottle of oil - |
| Jan 3 A crimson steel longsword 1 |
| |
| Lucky indeed! Although, with a total score of 13 (uh-oh!), |
| the question is if it's an indication of Montagu's luck |
| running out? Only time will tell. |

| Rewards |
| |
|.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*.|
| |
| As the the winner of this mini event Montagu will be |
| awarded with the title "The Lucky One", a title that will |
| last for 1 year. He will also receive a special lucky |
| coin that he may keep for 30 days. What that one does is |
| for Montagu to find out. You may claim your rewards in |
| the Arch of Events office in the Tower of Realms. Don't |
| forget to repeat the claim command if needed. |
| |
| As mentioned in the announcement there will be no other |
| rewards for this event, as there were no effort involved |
| other than visiting Sparkle once each day. Besides, most |
| of those who finished in the top have received plenty of |
| rewards from the wheel already! |

| Cheater Punished |
| |
|.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*:._.:*~*.|
| |
| The Yuletide lottery was created as a gift to all players |
| in Genesis. A gift, because without you Genesis would not |
| exist. Sadly, one player felt this free gift was not good |
| enough and decided to try to cheat. |
| |
| The player Jayden thought it would be a good idea to |
| create over 100(!) new characters and use them to win |
| prizes for his main character and various friends. This |
| ridiculous attempt at cheating was of course discovered, |
| and after initially trying to lie his way out, Jayden |
| eventually confessed to it all. |
| |
| For cheating in an event and for breaking the rules about |
| character separation multiple times (see <help rules>) |
| the player Jayden has been permanently DELETED and his |
| name has been BANISHED from ever being used again. |
| |
| Please let this be a lesson for anyone who thinks it |
| seems like a good idea to cheat. |
| |

| |
| Yule Season is now officially over in Sparkle. If you have |
| any feedback on this event, please <mail aoe> from any |
| post office. |
| |
| Cherek, Julio and the AoE team hope you had fun! |
