"Build a Newbie!" Tournament [May-June] - 2012/01/11 04:34
Newbies are awesome. I'm a firm believer that we need about fifty of them at every park in the Empire. Sure, they don't know what they're doing, they're awkward, they can't fight to save their lives, and their garb is occasionally stapled together. But the really great newbies have a passion burning just behind their eyes that I will never stop admiring. They want to learn everything there is to know, to see all that can be seen...
...wait, I'm sorry, that's the Lion King. The point is, our newbies deserve a little bit of awesome for being there. Otherwise there'd be three of us.
In light of that, I'll be hosting a 'Build a Newbie' tournament during the last two months of my reign. Here's how it boils down:
First, find yourself a newbie. I'm sure there's a few around somewhere. Bonus points if you bring a completely new person out. Second, gather yourself a team of 'teachers'. Warriors, artisans, garbers, singers, and such. You're limited to three teachers per 'team', so choose wisely. Third, once the last chunk of the reign begins, teams will be competing to turn their newbie into a badass Amtgarder. Teach your newbie how to high-cross. Have them learn a dirty sea shanty. Outfit them with proper garb, safe weaponry, maybe some sexy armor, too. Then, either just before Rakis, or most likely at the event itself, we'll throw the newbies together in a tournament, and watch them fight it out for glory!

The winning team (determined by a carefully crafted panel of judges, see above) will be the one that provides the best garb, training in fighting, and so forth, and will likely get awards showered on them like rain. Also, you've just made a newbie's goddamn year.
Check your swords, oil your sewing machines, and put your teaching hats on, folks.

Hilariously, Emperor.
