May the savviest lads and lasses win!

meh, that competition use to mean something. Players use the Swift Foot Glitch to compete and the Game Masters allow it. For that reason, I'm not gonna try, nor say, "Best of luck to ye!"

Elizabeth,

This competition usually involves a starting point. From there, the contestants are given a clue as to where they will find the next Game Master. There is usually 3 or 4 stops. And the only pirates that can see the clues are the competitors.

I hope that gives you an idea of what goes on.

It is, thank you.

I wish I could enter but I'm afraid I never know when I will be able to get on so I suppose I'll have to pass

I would sooo do it for the mats but unfortunately these times aren't as friendly for my schedule. They used to have a day during the weekend but alas, I see that's not an option this year. *sighs* I guess more plundering and redline cruises for me

I do find it interesting that this event is being held on weekdays only when most are still attending school or at work. Why is that?

Is it to lure players during those times, especially at the earliest hours, which are usually Quiet? Abassa is the only one that is Ideal to Full 24/7. No surprise there. The other 14 are Quiet except during those times when kids are off school.
