2010 Holiday events
The 2010 Holiday events began on the 14th of December, 2010, with the re-release of holiday-themed furniture, Christmas hats, holiday-themed trinkets - including a new set of player-created trinkets - and a new limited-edition pet, the pony. The main competition, Ye Jolly Toymakers, began on the 17th.
Ye Jolly Toymakers
Pirates in all oceans were divided into five teams - pirates from the same crew were all placed in the same team. The team names each made reference to a variety of the Little People. Pirates participated by being aboard ships which defeated brigands and barbarians while on a pillage. After winning a battle, each pirate on the ship would win a toy part (which appeared as stackables in the "miscellaneous" section of the booty panel). Parts from three different toys could be won, and each toy had three parts.
If a pirate had collected all three parts from a single toy, they could earn extra points for their team, and win trophies, by assembling the parts into one toy - toy assembly also counts as participation in the competition. On each ocean, and event pirate named Festivity had purchased a house and filled it with all sorts of holiday-themed furniture. The house contained a festive fir which allowed pirates to assemble their toys. Clicking on the fir would bring up a dialogue box - if a pirate does not have all of the parts for a toy, that toy's "assemble" button will be greyed out.
Festivity's house could be whisked to using a button on the Events tab of the noticeboard. In addition, toys could be assembled at a location on or near the dock of the following islands:
- Cobalt Ocean: Dragon's Nest
- Crimson Ocean: Dragon's Nest
- Hunter Ocean: Quetzal Island
- Jade Ocean: Isla Greenwich
- Malachite Ocean: Saltstraum Rock
- Midnight Ocean: Alpha Island
- Opal Ocean: Quetzal-Insel
- Sage Ocean: Greenwich Island
- Viridian Ocean: Dragon's Nest
The toy parts are assembled as follows:
| Toy | Top part | Middle part | Bottom part | Trophy | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Model ship |  Sails |
+ |  Masts |
+ |  Hull |
→ |  Assembled Model Frigate |
| Rocking pony |  Saddle |
+ |  Body |
+ |  Rockers |
→ |  Realistic Rocking Pony |
| Toy imperial soldier |  Head |
+ |  Body |
+ |  Legs |
→ |  Unwrapped Imperial Soldier |
During the course of the event, all brigands and barbarians (save those aboard Brigand King vessels) wore thief masks. To help pirates in pillaging with their team-mates, all jobs on the notice board included the team icon of the crew offering the job. The standings for each team were regularly tallied and updated on a special "Competition!" tab of the notice board.
