Northern Lights Campout

[Tim-Tim]

The NL recently passed a vote approving budget changes that allowed us to reserve Millersylvania (Near Olympia) State Park for a weekend in March. I'm not sure about the exact date, itenerary, list of activities, or cost per head, but this is something to keep posted to. A lot of people enjoy Winterbash each year, and the principality of northern lights is looking to blow it out of the water!

[Grizzly]

so when is the dates for this campout?

Pacific Northwest Games
Teams
The Pacific North West Games is an event designed to foster group interactions and pride in one's affiliations. Whereas some events are designed with individual accomplishments being the focus, these Games are based on the idea that an individual's accomplishments reflect on their affiliations. If someone does well in a specific field or endeavor, their allegiances will benefit.

To compete in the Games, each team, be it a Land, Fighting Company, or Household, must register no later than two weeks prior to the event. As well, the team must have been in existence prior to January 1st, so as to prevent teams being formed for the sole reason just to compete in this event.

Each team must also submit a roster of their members no later than two weeks prior to the event. Team size can as few as 6 but can be no larger than 12 people. The team is not required to list which competitions each member will be competing in. This registration is to assist the crew running the logistics of this event, so as to better stream-line recordkeeping.

Each team will be allowed to submit a set amount of members in each competition, and a single person must compete in at least 1, and not more than 3, competitions.

At the end of each competition, a set amount of points will be awarded to each group based on the results of the competition. At the end of the event, the overall winner will be the group with the highest total score. As well, an award for the person who garnered the most points for their team will be given.

Due to current budget constraints, we are limiting registration to the first ten teams to register.

Event Description
Hotdog Eating Contest (1 Team member)
In this event, each group can enter one contestant.

Each contestant will be given a set of eight hotdogs and buns. Contestants will then have five minutes to eat all eight hotdogs and buns in their entirety. The hotdog and bun must be completely consumed, and the contestant must not throw up. Anyone doing so will be considered to have lost.
At the end of the time limit, the winner will be determined by how many hotdogs and buns have been eaten. In the event of ties, partially consumed hotdogs will be considered. If a person or persons manage to consume all eight hotdogs and buns within the five minute time limit, the winner will be the one who did it in the shortest amount of time.


Iron Crafter (3 Team Members)
In this event, each participating team will be given the same amount of craft materials. With these materials, they will all have one hour in which to create an object to be judged by a panel of judges. The winners will be determined by the score each crafter's item receives.

For this Iron Crafter, each team will be attempting to craft a mask.


Archery Tournament (2 Team Members per catagory)
Accuracy over distance (2 Team Members)

In this event, each archer will be allowed five arrows. They will be shooting at three targets at different distances; twenty-five feet, fifty feet, and one hundred feet. As well, there is a smaller, bonus target attached to the one hundred foot target.
Depending on the target, the point value will be different: 1pt, 3pt, 5pt, respectively.
The bonus target, a strip of tape down the center of the one hundred foot target, is worth ten points if the archer is able to break it.
The winners will be determined by their individual point totals. Any ties will be determined with a tie-breaker event, where each archer is given only three arrows. All other rules would apply.

Accuracy at moving targets (2 Team Members)

In this event, archers will be allowed five arrows, and will be shooting at a moving target. The target will pass, at a jog, across each archer's shooting lane. While in the lane, the archer is allowed one shot. The archer is only allowed to shot at the moving target while it is in their lane, and cannot have the bow ready, but is allowed to have the arrow knocked and the bow in hand.
The target will begin their movement fifteen feet before entering the lane, allowing all the archers to shoot at the target while it is moving at the same speed. Once a pass has been done, the target will run back across in the same manner. The target must not stop for any hits landed.
The winners will be determined by their individual point totals. Any ties will be determined with a tie-breaker event, where each archer is given only three arrows. All other rules would apply.


3 Legged Race (2 Team Members)
In this event, each group can field one, 2-person team. All teams will race in one event, with the course to be determined based on field conditions.



The Very Serious Serious Topic Debate about the Important Issues (1 Team Member)
In this event, each group will be allowed to enter one contestant. This event will be run during feast as entertainment.

Each contestant will compete in two or three random debates, each with a new pairing. The topic will be chosen at the beginning of each debate, from a random hat. At the beginning of each debate, the winner of a coin toss will be given the option to EITHER go first or second OR choose the 'Pro' or 'Con' position. The contestants will then have 30 seconds in which to prepare. Each contestant will be given sixty seconds to argue their side, beginning with the 'pro'-topic. Winners will be determined by audience voting. No swearing, no personal insults, and no combat will be tolerated.


Speed Jenga (1 Team Member)
In this event, each group can enter one contestant. The tournament will be held during feast as entertainment.

Contestants will compete in groups, with the size of each group being determined by the number of Jenga games available. A time keeper will be on hand to count seconds. Contestants will have fifteen seconds within which to make a move on their Jenga game. If they are unable to complete a move (i.e., by setting a removed piece on the table), or the Jenga tower is knocked over, they are eliminated.
The winner will be the contestant who survived the longest. A tie will result in a showdown between the two contestants.

Cortona Gladiatorial Games
Welcome to the fair Cortona Games, here you will be able to participate in one of many ways. Would you like to try your hand as a Gladiator to be sold and then competed in the Grand Arena? Would you like to see how your management skills are by being the owner of your very own set of Gladiators? Do you think that your sword is strong enough to stand above all the rest? Or, do you think that with you wit and merchanting skills that you can organize and gamble with your Gladiators making you the richest Ludus(Gladiator School) owner in all the lands?
Gladiators Role & Responsibilities
Gladiators will be separated into 3 categories. Each Category with its own Point Value
Green :: (0-3 Order of Warrior) (3pts)
Yellow :: (4-7 Order of Warrior) (6pts)
Red :: (8-10 Order of Warrior) (9pts)
As a gladiator, you are a slave. It is only your job to do as told(in fighting). Your Ludus owner will negotiate your weapon style, combat style, and opponent.
As a Gladiator, your only responsibility will be to fight when told by your Ludus owner. You do not have to attend to anything beyond your fighting responsibilities. (Although you may RP the gladiator/owner as much as you wish) The only responsibility you take as being a gladiator... If your Ludus owner comes to you saying that (s)he has arranged a fight and they need you to participate... You must drop whatever you are doing to compete in the bout your owner setup. A Gladiator may not be 'Killed' outside of the confines of a 'Blood Sport' gladiatorial challenge (i.e. random backstabbing during event)

Ludus Owners Role & Responsibilities
Ludus owners are anyone who own 1 or more Gladiators

Ludus measure of success is in 'Tokens', which are your monitary system where you can wager on the success of your Gladiator. As Ludus owner you are allowed to negotiate terms where your gladiator will compete against gladiator from another Ludus As owner, you have options to determine what type of Combat Syle your gladiator will compete in There are no regulated terms, that is all worked out between the Ludus owners.


You may wager your Tokens on any given fight
You may trade, sell, or give away any gladiator as you choose
ALL Trades, sales, or gifting of gladiators MUST be reported to Logistics or fights with the Gladiator in the new school will NOT count
It is the responsibility of BOTH Ludus owners to report the results of any fight between your gladiators to 'Logistics'
Only recorded fights by logistics will earn points for Gladiators.
Gladiator does not have to be present for results to be recorded by Logistics
BOTH Ludus owners MUST be present for results to be recorded by Logistics

If all your Gladiators die, but you still have tokens, then you can bet and try to reclaim new gladiators via trade or purchase.




Structure
Friday Evening Auction
Auction will begin @ 7pm
We will line all of the Gladiators up and auction them off for Real Money($$$) to be donated 100% to the Northern Lights Coffers

GREEN gets Auctioned first
YELLOW gets Auctioned second
RED gets Auctioned last

We want to encourage potential Ludus owners to purchase more than just 1 Gladiator When someone wins a bid for a Gladiator, they must pay for that Gladiator immediately upon the closing of the Bid... If the Ludus owner does not have the money on hand, then the Gladiator goes back on the block to be auctioned to someone else.
Along with any Gladiator that is won through the bidding process, the winner will also get tokens in the same amount of that which they spent for purchase (i.e. purchased Gladiator for 7$, then you get 7 tokens) Once you have purchased all of the Gladiators that you are interested in, then you have your Ludus and may begin scheduling fights between your Gladiators and that of Gladiators in other Ludus's


Monitary System
The Monitary system is pretty straight forward

1$ = 1 Token: (Only Tokens are counted for in game currency)

A token will be provided to initial purchasers of Gladiators at time of bidding close. When the new Gladiator owner goes to pay for his/her Gladiator(in US dollar) Logistics will hand him/her that many tokens in return.


You may use the Tokens to gamble with for your Gladiatorial fights.
The monitary sytem is in place to allow for a determination of the "Most Successful Ludus"
At Closing Ceremonies, the Ludus Owner with the most Tokens will be awarded "Most Successful Ludus"



Wagers do not need to be reported to Logistics, it is up to the Ludus owners to honor all wagers and to pay up if the wager is lost.
Lost or stolen tokens are not the responsibility of anyone other than the person who lost them and will NOT be replaced by Logistics
Keep the tokens in a safe place for keeping until the Games are over.



Combat Rules
Ludus owners may engage their Gladiators in combat in 1 of 3 potential ways.


First Blood – A combat to the first cut (Any wound) *Non-Fatal (1/3 Point Value)
Exhibition – A combat in which is fought to full Amtgard death ^Non-Fatal (1/2 Point Value)
Blood Sport – A combat in which is fought to full Gladiator Death ^^Fatal (Full Point Value)

^Non-Fatal – Regardless of Win/Lose, the gladiator is still ‘alive’ and may be used for future combat
^^Fatal - The losing Gladiator is DEAD, out of the game and not usable for future combat in the games
(NOTE: All Blood Sport must be fought in the ‘OFFICIAL ARENA’)


Additional Participation
If you miss the initial bidding and/or do not purchase a Gladiator, all is not lost.

You may purchase tokens from logistics 1$ = 1Token

Once you have tokens you may use them to place bets on gladiator fights, to try and purchase gladiators, donate to a particular Ludus.


Closing Ceremonies
Closing ceremonies will simply be a final announcement of the winners of the games.
There will be prizes for both the “Champion of Cortona” and “Favored Ludus of Cortona”
Champion of Cortona = single Gladiator still living with the most points accrued over the event
Favored Ludus of Cortona = Ludus owner with the most tokens

(NOTE: must have 1 or more living gladiators at closing to be considered a Ludus owner)

Other
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can Ludus Owners setup fights where a single combatant is engaging against multiple opponents?
A: Yes. If the single combatant wins, then the point totals of all enemies is combined for the win. If the Multi-Person team wins, then the points are equally divided amongst the remaining 'alive' gladiators for that bout.

Q: What is the difference between the 'Cortona Gladiator Auction" and the "Late Arrivals Early Bird Gladiator Auction"?
A: The "Cortona Gladiator Auction" is the main auction which takes place on Friday night of the event @ 9pm. The "Late Arrivals Early Bid Gladiator Auction" will be for any potential late arrival Gladiators and/or potential purchasers and will take place on Saturday morning of the event @ 9am.

Q: What weapon combinations are available to gladiators? Can they use ANY weapon combination?
A: Nearly... The Gladiators will fight with only what they are told to fight with. All determination of style is up to the Ludus Owners. The only restriction the Ludus Owners have is they must be Melee Weapons ONLY. (Exception Javelin and this must be notified prior to the gladiator fight. Javelin may be used as Melee and Missile in the fight.)

Q: Can the Gladiators wear armor?
A: Yes, and here is how the armor works. NO TORSO ARMOR. All Armor is 1pt. ONLY. May only cover 2 limbs total. Gladiator must provide their own armor. Armor only counts in the location which it is worn.
NOTICE: Ludus Owners - Armor may only be worn in a BloodSport Event. You must purchase each piece of armor your gladiator will be wearing during the bout(1 Token per piece).


Q: What is the incentive for me the Ludus owner to compete my Gladiator in BloodSport, why bother risking 'Fatal' death?
A: Beyond the reasoning that this will certainly be a high stakes bet between Ludus Owners and that this is the way to help your Gladiator achieve the most point value for their fight, we 'The Arena' will offer an added incentive:

The Arena officially offers any Ludus owner the oportunity to compete the Gladiators within its walls for all the crowd to witness. Given that all fights within the Arena are BloodSport, The Arean will pay each Ludus Owner 2 Tokens for just competeing your Gladiator. Additionally, to the winning Ludus Owner, will go spoils of 5 Tokens, all for giving the masses a good show.
