As you walk into The Lion and Fox cafe you notice a sign by the door:
Pork races Hosted in the backroom.
Not knowing what it is you continue to your table and order your meal.
After you eat a magnificent meal that Kerobian cooked you ask the waiter Lyssan what that sign is about. She replies calmly that it is the Pork Races and it is being hosted by Volgon the Necromancer. Curious you probe for more information and all Lyssan can say is that you have to see it to believe it. Having seen Kerobian and Lyssan go at it multiple times you think that nothing could surprise you. As you walk through the door it suddenly becomes colder than a meat locker. And seeing Volgon sitting near a 3 foot deep hole in the ground you see why it is so cold. There is various meat products racing around a course.

Volgon looks at you and says "Welcome to my Pork Races, where people watch pig's tongue race against bull tail. Is there anything you would like to know?"

Hmm hey Ly the forums are open to public right?
If so I might just advertise it outside of the guild.
And sigh looks like I might have to enter myself although mostly just to get the prize money up a bit. And If I do win I'm just gonna add it to the next pot.
PostPosted: Wed Aug 05, 2009 5:15 pm


Check the rules on advertising first, kiddo. I think that iffin ye post a lot with it in yer siggie you might attract some attention... never tried this before so I just don't know. sweatdrop

Anyway, Yuki is gone until next week. Tell ye what... I'll send another thousand to sweeten the pot but this time divide it between her and I... ok? Bacon and pork chops, ok?

(Maybe we can get her to do a siggie graphic that represents the races for ye to use.)

Yeah I know about checking the rules.

And I already have it in my Sig although it doesn't look that good I'll Format it a bit differently I guess.

Alright well Yuki still won so the gold will still be there when she gets back. Bacon and Pork chops it is.

(That would be pretty cool I'll have to check into it)
