 |  During December 16 and January 3 the Wheel-Of-Fun was       |
 |  spun a total of 4.045 times. This is about a thousand       |
 |  spins less than last year's record, most likely mainly      |
 |  due to the new 18 hours age requirement.                    |
 |                                                              |
 |  The legendary flaming black broadsword was again part of    |
 |  the Wheel-Of-Fun, and six different players were lucky      |
 |  enough to win one.                                          |
 |                                                              |
 |  11 players tried to harass Julio and were sternly           |
 |  warned for their poor yule spirits. None of them harassed   |
 |  Julio again, so, no players (except last year's cheater)    |
 |  were banned from the wheel this year.                       |
 |                                                              |
 |  The 'Dirtbag of the Year'-award goes to Raxton who was      |
 |  rude enough to throw manure at poor Julio. The              |
 |  retaliation by the event team was swift, which turned       |
 |  Raxton into a stinking pile of dirt.                        |
 |                                                              |
 |  This year's competition to decide who is the luckiest       |
 |  person in Genesis ended with a 9-point tie between Doimli,  |
 |  Montagu, and Thoru. However, the event is about deciding    |
 |  who is the luckiest PERSON, not people, so there can only   |
 |  be one winner.                                              |
 |                                                              |
 |  And, what better way to break the tie than with a coin      |
 |  toss based purely on LUCK? The clever gnomes provided the   |
 |  event team with a special three-sided coin (yes it looks    |
 |  totally weird). The coin was tossed with one of the         |
 |  winners present, together with wizards Cherek, Varian, and  |
 |  Carnak as witnesses.                                        |
 |                                                              |
 |  Here's a short transcript of the toss.                      |
 |                                                              |

 |  > You toss the coin in the air, and when gravity pulls it   |

 |  > 'Montagu' facing up.                                      |
 |                                                              |
 |  Whaaat??! Again?! Yes! He won again! The odds of the same   |
 |  person winning an event based completely on random chance   |
 |  two years in a row is... astronomical, but somehow it       |
 |  happened again. Montagu TRULY is the luckiest person in     |
 |  the realms.                                                 |
 |                                                              |
 |  This year's winning score of 9 points was quite far         |
 |  beyond his 13-point score last year (maybe the luck is      |
 |  running out?), but the winnings are still quite             |
 |  impressive.                                                 |

 |  * = Montagu won the tie breaker coin toss to win the event, |
 |   which left Doimli and Thoru to share second place.         |

 |  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. Or rather, one MORE year since he          |
 |  already has that title. 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, of course, as he won last  |
 |  year too it probably won't be that big of a big mystery     |
 |  for him...                                                  |

 |  Wait, why am I telling you this? You know how it works.     |

 |  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!                             |
