Welcome to the Springfest 2006
Board Central!

~April 20-23, 2006~

It gets boring being a god, sometimes. Nothing to do but listen to your supplicants singing your praises just before asking you a favor -- or listen to your family squabble amongst themselves. The sacrifices in the temples aren't what they used to be either. So what's a deity to do? Visit the Four Corners Bar and Grille starting Wednesday, April 19th and you'll find out.

We have it on good authority that a few of the gods of Rome, Celtia, and Egypt are going to meet there that night for a few drinks -- and you know what happens when the gods start to imbibe! That's right. Bragging Rights are contested. The Americas gods are much too mature to get involved in this potential free-for-all, but they'll be sending along a few 'spirits' of their own. Namely Pulque, Aqa, and Cacao. Drop into the Four Corners Bar and Grille and brag about your own world's liquid refreshments.

Other gods, humans, even talking beverages are welcome!

Wine for Eternity

Roman Wine Tour

Egypt and Rome's joint Springfest wine and beer excursion begins in Upper Egypt on Friday, April 21st with 'Wine for Eternity'. At a time and place to be announced, we'll all pile into the Professor's time machine. Don't worry about claustrophobia; there's room inside for anyone who wants to travel with us. Provided he can keep the thing working and we don't find ourselves stuck in 1950s Muncie, Indiana, we'll travel along the Nile, making stops during the day to learn about the wine growing regions of Dynastic Egypt. The tour ends in the Delta, from which the Professor will transport us (hopefully) to Rome (hopefully) for the Vinalia Urbana and a look at Roman spirits...of the alcoholic variety, that is. The Roman leg of our journey commences on Saturday, April 22nd. So come as you are, bring your lucky charms (the Professor needs all the help he can get), and we'll provide the drinks.

Trading Pyramids

The pyramids of Chichen Itza and the Djoser Step Pyramid have muysteriously vanished!

Your job as "Master Builder" (should you choose to accept it) is to rebuild the pyramid in 3 days. You can use whatever tools and techniques available to you.

Use your creativity to describe the environment, building progress and processes, and any troubles rising from the culture shock of a strange environment.

Use your own workforce or have the local natives do it. Remember the language barriers and local customs because they could either be a hinderance or a help!

So will you accept the mission? Your city needs you!

You and your two fellow country-mates (3 total) are traveling to the New World to start a new life (it’s a small boat, ok? *S*). There are several countries on the same boat, heading to the same place. The boat is unfortunately stricken with a weird, New World disease in which you all have amnesia. You have 3 tasks to accomplish! Voting, based on a point system, determines the winner!

Game play in the Americas chatroom:
Voices of the Valley

The sun is at its zenith and a hush falls over the spectators as they focus their attention on the figures arriving on the court below. Two rival teams take the field and face-off, each confident of leaving that same field the victor. The ball is put in play and the spectators gasp as bodies tumble over each other as they stretch to make contact, the ball bouncing in the air from one player to the next. First one team then the other takes the lead, neither getting the full advantage until one player takes the risk - the ring that can win or lose the game - the spectators are on their feet, holding their breath, with eyes glued to the ball as it nears the ring. Who will win and who will lose?

Where's Wallace?

"Where's Wallace?" Good question! Rumour has it William Wallace is travelling the Celtia Hoods, "tasting" the local beverages of historic and legendary fame. More likely he's drinking us out of house and home! The challenge: follow the clues and find the plaques. (Hint: look for a man wearing a kilt who looks suspiciously like Mel Gibson. *wink*)
