Hello everyone!
I hope this post finds you all well and this "winter" hasn't been too harsh on any of you...

The winter party is fast approaching and this year, we are going to make another attempt to make Superlatives go! This time around, we are going to put out Superlative categories ahead of time (like now!) so that they can be voted on and tallied up. Winners for each category will be announced at the party!

Your nominations for each category can be sent to Erin@Magestry.com where they will be collected, tallied up, and a winner will be determined. Vote on any or all if you wish, but if you don't like one of the categories or can't think of someone for one of them, then don't worry about answering that one, just continue on to the next!

And without further ado, here are the categories:

Rookie of the Year: This could be either a PC or an NPC that started anytime in 2009 that you feel made the most positive impact at Magestry, whether in-game or out.

Best Role-Player: This could be either the PC or the NPC who you think did the best overall job of role-playing in 2009.

Best Boffer Fighter: This could be either a PC or an NPC and is the person you think was the safest, cleanest, and overall best boffer fighter in 2009.

Most Fun Person to Fight (PC): This is the PC that you think was the most fun to fight, be it in single combat or in a group.

Most Fun Person to Fight (NPC): This is the NPC that you think was the most fun to fight, be it in single combat or in a group.

Favorite Villain: This category is for the villain that has made an appearance in 2009 that has found a special place in your heart.

Best Costume(s): There are some great costumes out there from both PCs and NPCs… Whose do you think was the best this year?

Best Puzzle Solver: “It’s a riddle! … Kill it!” This category is for the person who was able to solve our riddles and/or traps and/or puzzles the best this year.

Best Props: We have seen some great props this year, from both PCs and NPCs. This is for you to decide who has the best props in game and even, perhaps, what said props are!

Best Living Space: IG, not OOG, who do you think does the best job of setting up their living space and making it look and feel IG?

Favorite NPC: Who was your favorite NPC this year? It could be for plot-related reasons, or just someone who made you feel exceptionally welcome or special. We should give them kudos!

Most Feared NPC: Just seeing this NPC walk down the hill with that look on his or her face is enough to send shivers of fear down your spine and the rest of the town running for cover. Oooh! We want to know! It could either be an NPC or the character he or she played this year.
Favorite Plot: It was the greatest plot in the history of mankind!!! Or maybe just 2009. What was your favorite plot that took place this year (it does not have to have been completed yet!).



So think about it, decide who you want to nominate, and send in your votes! Happy nominating!

Hello Magestans!

The winter months are upon us and, while many of us are looking forward to our long winter nap, we know that there are quite a few of you who are languishing in the knowledge that there are months until the next event. We would like to propose a break in the sad monotony of those in-between times by announcing Magestry’s Winter Festivities!! That’s right, Magestry will once again be hosting a Winter Party full of music, fun, games, and most importantly, the people we love to hang out with. This year’s affair will be taking place on Saturday, February 6th, 2010 from 3:00pm to 11:00pm at the Lodge in Coventry (different place than last year; address is at the bottom) and will be, like last year, an entirely OOG event. It will include dinner, music, and various goings-on such as we had last year, including a raffle, a trivia game, and likely a tournament of boffers.

Admission for the event will be $20.00 at the door or by mail (see the P.O. Box address below) or $21.00 online. Because of the upfront costs needed to make this party go, prompt registration is both needed and encouraged.

Dress will be casual (though you are welcome to wear anything from the new costume you bought to a top hat and tails) and friends and family (no charge for future Magestans 12 and under) are invited and encouraged to attend. As an added bonus, we are giving a holiday gift of 10 Skill Points to all those who register (whether by mail, internet, or at the door - Magestans and new friends alike!).

And finally, we are hoping for an outpouring of deliciousness in the form of a potluck of hors d’oeuvre-type munchies, drinks, and desserts brought by willing folks. You will, of course, receive Brownie Points (never have they been so appropriate!) for your generosity. If you are willing to bring something to the party, or if you have questions about what needs to be brought, please email Jess at ldymorgan069 [at] gmail [dot] com so that she can fill in any empty spots, make sure we have enough of everything, and make sure that you get your BP.
If you have any other questions, please feel free to email me at Angela@Magestry.com.
Take care and stay warm!

Yours in Frosted Flakes of Excitement!

This dialogue is said with a 70's DJ voice, keep that in mind when reading it.

Good evening all you cool cats and little ladies, it's DJ Moonz here lookin' for your choices in the best music that you can shake your tail to. Along with some ideas of tunes while we wine and dine minus the wine.

Alright back to normal, I'm getting all of these songs for the winter party (which by the way you can register now on Magestry.com for 21 dollars) and I need a few choices from you guys! We need good songs to boogie down to, some good swing music, and songs to listen to while we chow down. (Please narrow your choices to roughly 3 songs)

So give me your feedback and we'll see if your choices can go on the (already pretty hefty) list. With that said, keep in mind that not EVERY song will be picked!

See you all on the dance floor,
Amanda

Just wanted to wish everyone at Magestry a safe and Happy Holiday, however you're celebrating! Stay warm, drive safely, and see you all in the New Year!

Yours in Good Cheer,

The Magestic Staff
