We're turning 13!

The 7th of October marks Aetolia's 13th Anniversary and the beginning of our celebration! Every 13 hours, starting at the Howling of the 7th, an event will be started. Some of these events will be automatically selected from a random, rotating list, the others will be fixed events. You will accrue points for participating in these events, and extra points for scoring in the top 3 of an event. After 13 days have passed, the points will be tallied up and the top 13 ranked people will receive a credit prize. Additionally, the city that gets the most points will receive a unique style scroll for all its citizens.

The EVENTS RANKINGS command will give you the current rankings.

=================
PRIZES
=================
* You will receive a single giftbag for each event you participate in!
* Some events will have their own unique prizes attached to it. e.g. the Master Duelist rapier in the Delosian Duel. Where applicable, EVENTS INFO for that event will list the prize.
* Otherwise, placing an event will typically only award you points.

Prize table for the 13 winners of the Anniversary celebration are as follows:
1st 1300cr
2nd 800cr
3rd 700cr
4th 600cr
5th 500cr
6th 400cr
7th 350cr
8th 300cr
9th 250cr
10th 200cr
11th 150cr
12th 100cr
13th 50cr

=================
POINTS
=================
* Participating, but not placing, in an event will gain you 1 point.
* Placing first in an event will gain you 5 points.
* Placing second in an event will gain you 3 points.
* Placing third in an event will gain you 2 points.

In the case of a team game, like Capture the Flag, all participants of the winning team will receive the appropriate points. e.g. if Delos comes first, all Delos citizens get 5 points. In the case of a game having multiple winners, all those winners will be awarded first place. i.e. it's possible for more than one person to beat Survivor.

=================
AUTO EVENTS
=================
These events will be selected at random for the automatically generated events. The game will rotate through them, meaning if Survivor occurs, it won't occur again until all other options have been exhausted.

* Starfall
* FFA
* Freezetag
* Bloodbath
* Survivor
* Bait the frog
