[01:00 AM] Vendetta is offering cookies for kills and reports!
Vendetta reports:

My poor Depresso is really sad no one is submitting fun reports to read :( Therefore, I am putting a bounty on kills with reports. You get 1 cookie for each kill submitted with a report of 150 words or more (or a cool bit of art!) Make my Depresso happy :)

[22:31 PM] wants Water Ghost dead!
reports:

ONE PACK OF COOKIES GOES TO THE FIRST PERSON TO KILL SHIN!!! (THE UMPIRE aka Water Ghost)
TWO PACKS OF COOKIES IF YOU ARE A LIVE PLAYER (i.e., not Police).
(Payable at the final duel.)

Umpire's note: this does not make Water Ghost a licit target to living players by default. Living players will be sent Wanted for killing him while he is not bearing.


[22:32 PM] J.K.Rowling's Worst Nightmare continues the bidding war by offering sixteen bars of chocolate to the first person to kill Capitalism (the scariest monster of them all)!

[23:00 PM] The Dystopiaverse Dragon wants Wanted and Incompetent players dead!
The Dystopiaverse Dragon reports:

The Dystopiaverse Dragon challenges the Guild again, but this time it's not a boss battle - it's a collection event!

Try to kill as many incompetent/wanted players as possible before the thunderbolt strikes on 3 March. For each inco or wanted player killed between now and then, I will donate £2 for the Guild to build up a new armoury. If you clear the entire incompetent list, I'll add another £50.

I'll also match the donation 5x to a charity of the Umpires' choice.


[23:01 PM] The Dragon Queen puts a bounty on, uh, The Dragon Queen!
The Dragon Queen reports:

It has come to my attention that the Umpire known as The Dragon Queen has committed many dreadful crimes, including:

i) betraying the Guild to the Dystopiaverse Dragon;
ii) attempting to cover up the aforementioned betrayal;
iii) attempting to murder her fellow Umpire for cookies;
iv) failing to murder her fellow Umpire for cookies, and;
v) daring to prioritise such arcane things as example sheet deadlines above the Guild

Therefore I would like to announce that I will award to the first person to kill The Dragon Queen one pack of sweets easily obtainable from local supermarkets. In addition I will award a second pack of sweets if the kill is made with an attack animal.

(Note: this still doesn't make me a licit target by default until I find an excuse to send myself Corrupt. Living players will still be sent Wanted for killing me when I'm not bearing.)


[23:02 PM] Capitalism (the scariest monster of them all) tries to outbid J.K.Rowling's Worst Nightmare by offering twenty bars of chocolate for their death!

[23:03 PM] The Dragon Queen once again puts a price on her own head!
The Dragon Queen reports:

It seems that death has not been sufficient to rid The Dragon Queen of her Corrupt ways - now she is even striking down loyal members of her own police force as they retreat! This cannot be tolerated.

Therefore, I am offering a bounty of one bar of chocolate to anyone who kills The Dragon Queen before the game ends. I will additionally offer a second bar of chocolate if the kill is made with an attack animal.

I wish you all good luck in taking down The Dragon Queen, but beware - she is heavily armed and prepared to kill!

Practical notes:

I will be giving myself two minute respawns for the duration of the day. Each player may only claim the bounty once, though you're welcome to try and kill me a second time if it amuses you! Living players will not be granted competency for successfully killing me; I may award conkers but that is highly unlikely to be the deciding factor determining whether anyone makes the duel.

I will be allowed to defend myself, though any kills I make on competent non-Wanted living players will not be upheld and the only effect will be that the player in question cannot bear weapons in my vicinity for the next four hours.

I have a lecture in town at 11am; other than that I'm not sure where I'll be, but may decide to post updates on the Discord if I get bored enough. Except for the lecture I won't spend time in any OOB areas, and if I'm in my room it'll be unlocked unless I'm sleeping.
