Important Information please read

Domokun was the founder of the first sinkfest and it was a credit to him, he also wanted to run sinkfest II but other responsibilities have prevented him from doing so, Rampage has taken over the running of sinkfest II any questions should be directed to him only, please do not contact Domokun about anything to do with Sinkfest II as will not be able to help you.

Introduction

First please be aware that the Starfish injury is not available at sinkfest as it will be held on a blockade board and not at Atlantis. The Injury, funny thing. No matter how many 'Pieces of Eight' you have, how many ships in your fleet, or how brimming with Black/Gold Clothes your wardrobe is, you just cannot buy an Injury. That is, unless you enter Sinkfest II ! Rampage presents another 30 ship sinking event on the Sage Ocean, each giving you 30 chances to obtain an injury, and much more besides!

Questions?

So, how does it work?

30 Ships, 30 Sinks. On the day of the Sinkfest Event, We will be entering 30 War Brigs into a sinking Blockade at an Island on Sage Ocean. We take 29 lucky Pirates down to the deep, all in the name of fun, fish and loss of limbs. There is no need for you to join our Crew, or leave your own, all you need is to be on the ship when it sinks.

Great! How do I get a place in the Event?

The previous Sinkfest event required that you donate a War Brig and 3000poe to the Event. The donated War Brigs were sunk, and the 3000poe funded the final War Brig, Rum, Stock and other expenses. This time we intend to simplify things, and ask each participant for 75,000poe, and we will provide you with a War Brig to take to Davy Jones' Locker!

To secure your place at sinkfest contact Rampage ingame or send a PM via the forum to user name 24V

Where will they be Sunk?

The ships will enter a blockade on a Player or Ringer controlled island, and be sunk one after the other by a waiting War Brig. All 30 players will sink 30 times, which according to this thread or this post gives between a 40-60% chance of an injury. In that particular event, one lucky pirate received all 3 injuries after just 16 sinks, and in Sinkfest I, 12 Pirates received injuries, including Rampage who received two! Previous Sinkfest event pages show which pirates obtained which injuries.

Terms and Conditions

Please read the Terms carefully. This event involves a considerable amount of PoE and a Fleet of ships, so we have to be strict on the policies. We have tried to cover all possible problems, but feel free to contact Rampage if you have a comment or a question. Please consider taking part, and making this Event a fantastic success so we may run another in the future.

These terms may be strict, but most only apply to Pirates who wish to leave the Event after they have paid. If you are confident that you will be online on the day of the Event, then you have nothing to worry about.

Upon the transfer of your PoE to Rampage, it is no longer your property. We will not risk 28 pirates pulling out of this event last minute, and the event being ruined. Your 75,000poe fee will be returned if you need to forfeit your place, provided there is another Pirate waiting for your place in the Event. Please do not let this put you off this event, but also please only pass your PoE if you are certain you will be available for the day of the blockade. If there is another Pirate who can trade 75,000PoE to Rampage, then your fee will be returned. Please note there will be no partial refunds, even if you are lucky enough to receive an injury in the first sink. We will try to be conscious of everyone's needs, but the Event comes first.

Should a place become available through the above procedure, The Event runners reserve the right to auction, sell, distribute, or otherwise trash places in Sinkfest. Unofficial auctions or resale of places in the Event will not be supported. Anyone attempting to sell or buy places on Sink Fest in an unofficial auction will be excluded from this event. Any queries regarding this policy should be directed in a PM to Rampage.

We will not be held responsible for disconnects, which result in you missing a sink. Please ensure you have a reliable internet connection.

If you obtain an injury, and wish to try again with an alt for the remainder of the event, please inform Rampage, and we will job your alt during the event, and dismiss your main Pirate. Please note that we cannot guarantee you an injury. Please do not bother the OM's if you are unlucky. We will run this event again at a later date for a second (or third!) try, provided it is once again a success!
