Sambuca's original story. Well, not so much a story as the door game introduction to her. She was won in a door game years and years ago. She's getting a fresh look today, and she is well overdue for it.

Adrenaline gave you the needed courage to cross the square and basically hurl yourself inside the building, narrowly missing a pot holding violently purple flowers and landing on your elbows underneath one of the many glass tables. Fortune blessed you indeed when the mirror spotted you but backed away and headed back where they came from without even approaching the door....but perhaps not too much upon you realizing that you may have crushed some saplings in pastel-colored pots. Whoops. "What did you do?!" Oddly enough, it wasn't the old Imperial's voice you were familiar with that let out the horrified shout. Turning your head in the cramped space there was no time to brush off any evidence off yourself before a young Skydancer tromped her way to you. Expecting the worst you had an excuse on your tongue, but she simply snagged your arm and pulled you with her on the way to a back door. "--aeton is going to kill me, do you have any idea how lucky you are that I'm not dealing with you the way he told me to deal with trespassers? I'm risking my job for you, if I lose it YOU are going to be the source of my next paycheck whether you like it or not!" ... In the end, she does end up following you home. It's a long story how, but let's just say that she didn't manage to get you out of there before the Imperial missed your presence.

MERRY MUNCHKIN 2024 EVENT HUB & ASSOCIATED THREADS

EVENT HUB 2024 IMAGE

WELCOME BACK
I HAVE MISSED YOU!
It is that time of year when the Merry Muchkins come down from their home to spread joy throughout the rest of Sornieth. Big or small, new or old, everyone is welcome to participate in the festivities. Below you will find the links to a variety of games and activities. There are lots of presents available at the games, interesting things to do in the activities, and of course, a chance to win big in the contests. Well then, let's not delay any longer.
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!


GAMES
The Merry Munchkins do love their games! Won't you join us for some exciting fun. As always, there is a chance to win big!
  • Go Fish (runs from 1st-5th)-- A Merry Munchkin favorite! Come join the hatchlings' game of Go Fish and see what you can fish up!
  • Fortune Telling Game (runs from 1st-7th)-- Returning with another round of exciting and 100% accurate* fortunes for you to enjoy. There is also a chance to get a nice present too.
  • Scavernger Hunt (runs from 1st-7th)-- A new game for 2025. Someone has hexed the library's books and now they are scattered all over the place. Can you hunt them down before they are hopelessly lost?
  • Cookies for Narmod (runs from 4th-7th)-- Narmod is working hard in his workshop making sure the last of the presents are ready to go out. This is your chance to give the Big Munchkin something to thank them for all of their hard work. Who knows, maybe you'll get something nice for your gratitude. This could be your one chance to get something, especially if you've been particularly naughty this year.

*The Fortune Telling Game does not guarantee their fortunes will be 100% accurate, helpful, or even fortunes... look we still don't know how the bear got in the box! Fortune Tellers Inc. is not responsible for any lost or damaged individuals that occur as a result of pulling a 'fortune'.


ACTIVITIES
Will you join us for some fun and exciting holiday activities? Merry Muchkin activities are meant to entertain and engage players, but do not award prizes. All activities will run from the 1st-7th.
  • Gift Giving: Remember, as you are receiving gifts, you can give them as well. This is the time of year for kindness. Drop by and offer a friend something that will make their day. A gift doesn't have to be something big or fancy, sometimes all it takes is a hug to brighten someone's day.
  • Solve the Mystery: This is horrible! Someone has stolen Lady Night's History! The tome is ancient and must be returned to the library soon, before the magic that keeps it intact fades. If that happens the history of the first child will be lost forever! This is a read-and-click, mystery game. Follow the clues and bring home the ancient tome!
  • Keep the Hatchling Clean: The nursery is in need of your help. They have their hands full and they need you to take care of one hatchling for a little while. Careful though, the hatchling just had a bath and it would be dreadful if it got dirty.



CONTESTS
Show off your talents with these fun-filled contests. Contests will run from the 1st to the 4th with public voting being held between the 5th and 6th. Winners will be announced on the 7th.
  • Writing Contest: Calling all writers! Do you enjoy telling your tall tales to an excited audience? Well, this contest is for you. A short story contest all about the holiday season and the Merry Munchkins.
  • Art Contest: Calling all artists! We need the works of your imagination. What can you dream up for this year's theme?
  • Pageant Contest: It's that time again! The Merry Munchkins are looking for the face of the 2025 Merry Munchkin Festival. Show us your mascot potential!



PINGLISTS
The general pinglist is used only during the MM Event each year and signals the beginning of the event, voting for the contests, and closing of the event.
The voting pinglist is for individuals who would like to vote, but would rather not be on the general pinglist. If you are already on the general pinglist you do not need to add your name to the voting pinglist.
If you'd like to know when a new puzzle is added to the scavenger hunt game, but do not want to subscribe, you can join the pinglist. The general pinglist will not be used to introduce new puzzles.
This pinglist is for the Keep the Hatchling Clean activity. If you would like to be notified when the nestkeepers are on their way to pick up the hatchling, please consider joining the pinglist. The general pinglist will not be used to warn players about incoming nest keepers.




BADGES
There are several badges available for the various games and activities taking place during the event. Anyone who participates in any of the activities during the event will be eligible to get an event badge. The exception to this will be the pageant contest badges. There are three of those, everyone gets a participation badge, but the winner and the honorable mention badges go to the winning parties.


LUCKY NUMBER POOL
The Lucky Number Pool is where you can find all the special prizes for the games. This year we have some extra amazing prizes!

A special prize can only be won once, by the first player to find the lucky number.

PINGLISTS
The general pinglist is used only during the MM Event each year and signals the beginning of the event, voting for the contests, and closing of the event.
The voting pinglist is for individuals who would like to vote, but would rather not be on the general pinglist. If you are already on the general pinglist you do not need to add your name to the voting pinglist.
If you'd like to know when a new puzzle is added to the scavenger hunt game, but do not want to subscribe, you can join the pinglist. The general pinglist will not be used to introduce new puzzles.
This pinglist is for the Keep the Hatchling Clean activity. If you would like to be notified when the nestkeepers are on their way to pick up the hatchling, please consider joining the pinglist. The general pinglist will not be used to warn players about incoming nest keepers.




BADGES
There are several badges available for the various games and activities taking place during the event. Anyone who participates in any of the activities during the event will be eligible to get an event badge. The exception to this will be the pageant contest badges. There are three of those, everyone gets a participation badge, but the winner and the honorable mention badges go to the winning parties.


LUCKY NUMBER POOL
The Lucky Number Pool is where you can find all the special prizes for the games. This year we have some extra amazing prizes!

A special prize can only be won once, by the first player to find the lucky number.

IMAGE MM WRITING CONTEST 2024

All over Sornieth, you will find tales of heroism, sorrow, horror, and creativity. The stories that inspire and warn young and old alike. Each tale defines the strengths and weaknesses of a culture’s beliefs. The Merry Munchkins are no exception to this rule and have been sharing their stories through oral tradition from generation to generation. These oral histories have been shared for countless centuries and many have never been recorded. Until now.

Lady Minuette and Lord Vilmantas are trying to collect all oral histories of the Merry Munchkins. Whether by image or by word, it is vital that our culture be saved for future generations to come

2024 THEME:
Folk Tales
How to Participate:
Everyone has a story to tell! Your folk tale can be almost1 anything you can think of. These are tales of imagination, of wonder, and sometimes warning. They are the defining characteristic of the Merry Munchkin culture, all committed to the page.

  • I would ask that only participants post to this thread, please. It keeps it tidy that way. Anyone wishing to comment on an entry can do so (and is encouraged to) on the url=MAIN HUB LINK]main event thread[/url].
  • The main goal is to create a work that you feel would be a good folk tale. A tall tale that defines a heroic act, the creation of some grand thing, a dire warning not to wander into a place, etc. The sky is the limit and your imagination is free to roam1.
  • If you need a bit more context on Merry Munchkin lore, you can find it here
  • The word count recommendation for the entries is 450 2. Because of the subject, there will be no disqualifications if you go over the recommended word count. However, people still have to vote and might not be interested in reading if you drop a novel into the contest. Please bear that in mind as you write.
  • You can use your story from the art contest.
  • Only one entry per user, please.
  • All writing styles and levels are welcome.
  • Please title your work as I will use that as a reference for the voting poll.
  • Please, use your own work, do not use someone else's work and claim it as your own. Plagiarism will result in immediate disqualification.
  • The stories should not contain any controversial themes. Any story that contains hurtful, cruel, controversial topics, or targets any person with the intent to defame, will be removed from the contest. This is all in good humor, please do not bring the good vibe down. I thank you.
  • There will be a first, second, and third-place winner for this contest. You can find the prizes for the winners below.
  • Contests will run from the 1st to the 4th with public voting being held between the 5th and 6th. Winners will be announced on the 7th.
  • The last day to post an entry will be the 4th. Once the contest is closed, please do not post another entry. Any that are posted after the 4th will not be added to the voting roster.
  • Remember to Vote! Voting will be announced on the main event thread. Please consider joining one of the pinglists if you would like to be notified of voting.
  • A note just in case: Please do not attempt to sway the vote by asking a bunch of friends to vote for you. Any unnatural numbers during voting will lead to disqualification. This is in place to try and keep voting fair. Thank you.
  • Please note that this thread will be considered part of the MM24 photo album and will be listed on the main MM lore thread. Once the event ends on the 7th, I would ask that no one posts to the closed thread. Artists are welcome to remove their art at any time. Thank you!
  • Not a Merry Munchkin, no problem, everyone is welcome to play! Wondering where all this nonsense came from? You can find that [url=MAIN HUB LINK]here[/url].


Pinglists:
The general pinglist is used only during the MM Event each year and is used to: mark the beginning of the event, to open voting for the contests, and to close the event.
The voting pinglist is for individuals who would like to vote, but would rather not be on the general pinglist. If you are already on the general pinglist you do not need to add your name to the voting pinglist.

No, what strikes your attention is the large cloth barrier that’s held up before the entrance of the tent. On the front of the barrier, there is a crude drawing of water with fish, bubbles, and various wiggles and squiggles that might indicate plant life. Set in a row before the watery scene, are quickly assembled wooden fishing poles. The string at the end of the pole holds a single wood clothespin. Curious, you head towards the tent. When you get within range you pick up the distinct sound of hatchlings giggling. The soft humor draws your attention to the right side of the scenery. You discover the big eyes of a Skydancer hatchling. “Give it a try,” he says softly. After another giggle, he vanishes behind the partition. You decide why not and lift one of the fishing poles into your paw. Gently, you flit the clothespin line over the scene. After a second you feel a soft tug and pull the line back.

KEEP THE HATCHLING CLEAN 2024
NgKFowQ.png

The nursery requires your help. They have their hands full and need you to take care of one hatchling for a little while. Careful though, the hatchling just had a bath and it would be dreadful if it got dirty.
The image depicts an all white, all basic Auraboa hatchling with large, rare earth eyes. They say: Hello, my name is Asha.  I'm really excited to explore the festival with you! Meet Asha, they are this year's Merry Munchkin Helper. This little one will be handing out the awards for the contests. They are all nice and clean, so please keep them out of the dirt.
