Hello Bards!

So, I recently traded to obtain a new nijare that was obtained through the Droughtman's Maze contest. This is a weapon that has historically been linked to Bards, though it's unclear if that's more myth than history. However, one thing is sure: They are designed for elemental users. The first person to use it can attune it to an element, and it will change appearance and bond to that person.


Alas, I already have one! And this is an extremely rare item that you can't really benefit from having two of... So what's a poor bard to do? Oh, I know! I'll give it to another Bard! But there must be a contest! Soooooo....

For now, IM me ideas on what sort of contest to hold! The winner will get a nijare! No cost to enter, 50th circle bards or higher are all welcome to compete! I want to make sure this is equal opportunity, so I'll stockpile any ideas people have and come up with a good contest :)

IM ZanderTirade if you think of anything good! I'm thinking, so far, a riddle contest and an improv song writing contest. Any ideas welcome!

Also we need to start doing meetings. And not around super exotic instruments only. We needs to all bond and be bardly in love with each other and train up noobies and worship Leilond and sing praises in his honor.

The circle requirement is essentially there to prevent alts from entering. I'm willing to be flexible on it, but I really really ask that nobody enters unless their main character who they have no intention of selling or abandoning plays. I hate seeing rare items vanish into vaults/alts, which is part of why I'm giving this one away. :)

Improv song contest! Because that's Bardly and fun.

I also agree with meetings. When I first joined the guild in Crossing, I remember all kinds of Bards sitting in the guild and hanging out. Half of the fun was just talking and laughing with everyone in there. It's really sad that I can go in the guild in basically any area and run my full set of "inside" scripts and not see a single person. :(

>> push my bell
You kick one foot out in a graceful arc, and with a dip of your shoulders and a tinkling of toe bells, you pirouette in a dazzling spin!

Can't fire up aim from here but I've got one:

Write the most absurd alternate bard guild introduction for one of the current guildleaders.
