2011 Holiday events
The 2011 Holiday events began on the 22nd of December, 2011, 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, Icebound, began on the 22nd.
The competition was launched in conjunction with a series of posts by Velasco Thorsson on the main forums. [1]
Icebound
Pirates in all oceans were divided into five teams - pirates from the same crew were all placed in the same team. 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 an expedition supply part (which appeared as stackables in the "miscellaneous" section of the booty panel). Parts from three different supplies could be won, and each supply had three parts.
If a pirate had collected all three parts from a single supply, they could earn extra points for their team, and win trophies, by assembling the parts into one supply - supply assembly also counts as participation in the competition.
Supplies could be assembled at a location on or near the dock of the following islands:
- Cobalt 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 supply parts are assembled as follows:
| Toy | Top part | Middle part | Bottom part | Trophy | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sailing Rations Kit |  Dried beans |
+ |  Dried fruit |
+ |  Ship's biscuit |
→ |  Sailing Rations Kit |
| Ship Materials Kit |  Sail patches |

| Survival Supply Kit |  Fur blankets |

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.
