Achaea's 18th birthday is just about upon us! Just think, if Achaea was a person, it'd now be able to drink and vote!

As hinted in in PUBLIC news #19737, Lord and Lady Adryn will be holding a massive festival to ring in these celebrations, and we've got a couple of big announce-worthy events running as well:

* This Sunday we'll be running a special 24 hour Great Hunt (HELP GREAT HUNT)! This will kick off at 00:00 GMT on Sunday morning (8pm Saturday Eastern, 5pm Saturday Pacific, 10am Sunday Sydney.) and run for 24 hours! There will be credit prizes for the top 10 competitors in each tier (Sub-61, Sub-99, and Open), participation rewards for reaching certain point thresholds, as well as some other special rewards relating to the festivities.

* A Game of the Eyes CTF (HELP CTF) event will wrap up the celebrations on the 26th of September! Cities will battle it out for glory and riches from 22:00 GMT on Saturday night (6pm Saturday Eastern, 3pm Saturday Pacific, 8am Sunday Sydney)!

I'm not going to let the cat out of the bag on all of the surprises and events, but these are only two of the many happenings going on throughout September! So this post serves as a heads-up, since they need a certain degree of preparation and planning.
