As you may have already seen in the newsletter, in addition to the ducal tournament, competitions will be held for various crafty and artistic talents. The in-game rules were already explained in the newsletter, but the out-of-game rules are as follows:
Crafters Competition Rules
1. All items brought to the competition MUST actually be made by the entrant out-of-game. Buying items (or copying songs or poetry etc) and passing them off as being made by you will be considered cheating, and treated accordingly.
2. For the weapon and armor making competitions, your character must actually have enough ranks of blacksmithing in order to make the proper tag for the item you are putting forth. So for these competitions, you must make the weapon/armor OOG and your character must make the tag IG. The rep used need not be brand spanking new (though if it looks like you've had it since 1993 you'll likely lose points from the judges), however the tag must be from a logistics period THIS event. Weapons will be given an OOG safety inspection as part of the judging - they must be combat usable weapons, not strictly ornamental (and of course not REAL weapons!)
3. For the cooking competitions, NO competitors will be allowed to use the tavern kitchen facilities, so plan your dish accordingly. All recipes MUST be accompanied by a full ingredient list so that those with allergies or other food restrictions can be aware of what is in it before eating. If your recipe is a secret you don't have to give exact amounts, but all contents must be listed. As always, players must abide by the no alcohol rule. Food for this competition will be donated to the Ducal Ball.
Good luck everyone!
