Hail all,

MMR - Forge your Destiny has ended and the payouts have been made! Congratulations to our final winners:

Joint 1st place: Poet and Lilias! Thank you both for your submissions!!

Given the low level of participation, and the top quality work both the Voidwitch and Humble BEAST presented, I have decided to award both with top honours in this Season of MMR!

Moving on to the next Season: Snow Wars! This Season shall again be open to everyone for entry, and as voted by the Sector, the theme shall be Secret Gifters!

All participants will need to submit a gift to a prize pool which shall be listed for everyone to see. Participants will also be assigned 5 names of other participants. In order to pick a prize, you will need to win against all of your assigned participants in at least one of the following categories of contests:
o Arena or Open Field fight - best of 3. Team fights allowed
o Ship Battle (Battlespace allowed) - best of 3
o Battlebot fight - best of 5
o Snowfight in Winterflame Arena
o Hacking - best of 5 in a speed race, or first to hack a certain number of terminals within a certain time frame
o Battle of the Bands - have an audience vote for the winning performance

More methods of 'winning' an opponent on your list may be added on through this Season, please feel free to submit any ideas you may have to me for this!

Once you've bested the participants on your list, you may choose one prize from the prize list, and that shall be your present and award for this season of the MMR! All prizes shall be first come first served, and the list or prize pool shall be updated regularly.

Please let me know via message if you will be joining, and please let me know what prize you would like to submit. We look forward to everyone's participation! (//No deadline for sign ups, but your 5 targets will be given only on 9-10 Dec 2022!)

I shall also encourage all Factions to host Arena events through this season, and 250,000 marks shall be awarded to the winner of the most Arena events through this period, and their faction! Please send me a message if you have won an arena event during this time, and I shall record them accordingly.

In Honor,
Xuthori

P.s. We would like to thank everyone for their kind suggestions on how to run this Season's MMR. Special thanks to the Lord Commander, Picram, whose suggestion for a prize pool helped immensely in planning for this!

Wonders abound in April, as do pranks and glee!

In acknowledgement of our low population and in an effort to consolidate our playerbase, the Starmourn Admin team has made the bold and brave decision to merge our three Factions into one united front: The Scattered Song Ascendancy! … Kidding, we’re kidding!! (This joke did wonders on the Discord) We Admin folk considered a bunch…
