The Great Ghost Race- Information Only
[the words look to be in Meep’s handwriting, but there will be no replies forthcoming]
Fun Fact: The Great Ghost Race, though a tradition nearly a century old, was renamed to ward off the wrath of Davy Jones, as the start marks his date of birth.
Dates: July 5th-31st
Requirements:
All participants must arrive at Port Chance no later than July the 2nd.
Registration slips (which will be sent to you via mail) must be delivered to the bursars office in Water Town no later than the 3rd.
Ships that do not participate at Race Start on the 5th will be disqualified.
The Race
All participating ships will be given a map of three islands, from which they must require specific tokens, location and object thereof to be imparted to them from the race officiate on said island.
In order to win the Great Ghost Race, participants must be the first to cross the finish line at Port Chance on the 31st with all three tokens.
If a tie occurs, the two ships may decide to split the prizes or battle it out, the winner going to the crew with the remaining ship and/or most survivors.
Notice
All participating islands have but one token. Expect competition for said token. It is permitted to steal the token from another at sea, so expect likewise.
July is the time of unexpected whirlpools, believed to be the work of Davy Jones himself. If you are caught in one… please try to avoid it in the future.
Prizes
First Place: A shard piece roughly as long as a man’s palm, 300 thousand doubloons (or equivalent treasure), a golden Nav.
Second Place: A two time use Demon’s Egg (property to be revealed upon receiving) 100 thousand doubloons (or equivalent treasure), 50 casks of rum.
Third Place: 80 thousand doubloons, 20 casks of rum, 16 chickens.
If interested, please register here before June 28th.
