Now, I know not everyone celebrates Christmas. So, don't complain that your chosen holiday isn't mentioned because Christmas is the only important one. Ha! I'm just kidding. Had you going there for a bit, didn't I? Anyway, I know not everyone celebrates Christmas or even celebrates a holiday at all, but I wanted to take the time and show my appreciation to every one of you that has and is helping build this place into the dream I had so long ago.

Regardless of if you were here on day one or have just joined the wiki this day, you are an important member of this community and I want you to know how much you are appreciated. As such, I've decided to give everyone an early Christmas present to prove this. This is my way of thanking all of the first generation users who have joined. But if you haven't gotten your first character approved yet, you better hurry; because only people who become official members before the new year will be given this gift.

Now, without further ado, the gift I want to allot to everyone is...FIVE EVENT POINTS! That's right, you heard me correctly. The very coveted Event Points that can be used to purchase prizes are literally being given away. But keep in mind this is a one time only deal, so if you plan on getting more Event Points, you better start joining in on the events.

If you'd like to know more about the events you can join in on, make sure to look at the tab on the NAV bar labeled "Events". There you can learn about Probending, Civil Unrest and even about the Event Points and the prizes you can get with them. You might even notice a Special Events section which is currently a placeholder but will be used in the very near future.

SPECIAL NOTE:

Now, if you've committed to reading this far, you'll be potentially rewarded with something even better than what has been given out to everyone. Currently, our Probending event is at a stand still as we need more people to sign up. As such, I am going to hold a drawing from those signed up for Probending at the end of the year. Three lucky winners will receive a Probending Point which is pretty much a Event Point.

Keep in mind, you can compete with as many characters as you want, they just simply cannot be on the same team. So, the more characters you enter, the more chances you could win. There will also be some limitations. First, you cannot win with multiple characters. Also, if someone is clearly abusing the system and doesn't intend to participate in Probending or removes their character after the drawing, not only will they forfeit the Probending point if they were to receive it but also the five Event Points as well. This is simply because I only want people who actually want to participate and not those that simply want the prize. The prize is merely an incentive, not an end.
