The Sunny Seaside Bar II: Triple Triad Tournament Edition.
(Turbo*)
We've thought long and hard about what to do for this event, given that Godbert stole our Chocobo racing track the Golden Saucer now hosts a far better, glorious, wonderful and much improved version of our race track.
There was only one answer. There's a craze sweeping the nations. It's a bug that's bitten people from all walks of life. A competitive desire burning in the hearts of men and women alike. It spares nobody, young or old, rich or poor.
It's Triple Triad.
On the beach.
Starting halfway through the 7th Bell past the midday sun, on the 7th sun of the 2nd Astral Moon, Jackal & Hide will be hosting several mini-tournies for those of a mind to find fame and glory.
And once the dust and sand settles, and a final winner of the evening remains, standing tall**, we'll be there, to present them with their prize.
For their shall be a prize...
The victor of the Sunny Seaside Bar: Triple Triad Tournament Edition will be the proud owner of nothing less than Something Nice™! And, of course, free drinks for the entirety of the evening as part of that prize.
Now, it's worth pointing out that due to whichever law it is that's in place that prohibits gambling via cards is going to be in effect at the bar. There's nothing we can do about that, the law's the law, and in this instance, we're very much inclined to obey it. However, try as the law might, they can't stop us completely!
Instead, we'll be hosting the tournament in Costa del Sol proper, on the upper decks overlooking the coast, presenting a calm and relaxing vista for our intrepid duelists!
We know that TT isn't going to be to everyone's tastes, and that's why there's no pressure to join in. We'll be hosting the tournament towards the south, near Gegeruju due to the limitations SE have placed on where you can play TT. This leaves the bar free for socialising, which is nice!
On the offchance that people prefer it over at Gegeruju's, in Costa del Sol proper, then we may be inclined to move the event over that way. That's still up in the air, and depends on how many people are interested in the tournament.
Naturally, with an event like this, we couldn't resist the idea of a theme for the night. Anyone dressed in three colours*** receives a discount on their drinks for the evening. Intent on turning up in a bikini? Dye your sandals!
Tournament rules:
The bar opens officially at 7pm GMT, and the games at 7:30 GMT. Hope to see you all there!
* Just kidding. The Turbo version will of course be saved for a future version of the event. Someday, we might even throw in a Super, too!
** Lalafell need not stand tall. Â Just... do the best you can.
*** Three dyes. We're aware that the game won't let you dye an outfit completely, so we'll overlook any minor additional colours, such as trim or detailing.
