Standing on opposite sides of the battlefield, Redcoats and Bluecoats stare at each other, hatred burning in their eyes. An orange fox in pirate attire steps between the two: moderator doubling as a mediator Zorro determines which side goes first. Redcoats begin! Bluecoats begin! All around the Mediterranean, one army raises scaffolding while the other assigns spies. That’s right, Pirate fans – the 1st Annual Redcoat VS. Bluecoat Tournament of Retribution is well under way!
Four skirmishes are currently in progress in the Pirate forum. These are…
Raging Redcoats Regiment vs. Out of the Blue
Courageous Redcoat Company vs. Big Bad Blues
Bloody Brilliant Redcoats vs. Bluecoat Team 3
Ravenous Redcoats vs. Blue Thunder
Each team has spectacular builders and fantastic entries – but only one side can prevail. As devoted team members work to get in their two vignettes, the tournament judges have the difficult job of choosing the winning side amongst the hordes of notable creations. Twenty creations must be taken into account per thread, each being scored points for build, wit, historical accuracy, and much more. And so far, the judges have been presented with a difficult challenge!
Part of that challenge, unfortunately, involves finding the entries themselves. Useless spam, cruel insults, and other garbage have been paraded around each tournament thread, and something has to be done about it. There are some comments that are constructive, and others that are not. Try to stop bashing the other side – though at times, it can seem so fun – and provide criticism and compliments that don’t insult or upset someone else. We’re glad that everyone’s having fun, but this is just a game.
Are some of you in the dark and somehow have no idea what this commotion is? You can learn all about it in the tournament enlistment thread!
