August 2007
Flip here. Things are changing. In the world, on Gaia, in the Bar, and in the Guild. I'll try to be breif on the updates... I know these things can get boring.
Fighting: The fight stats have been cleared. Those wishing to re-register need to contact me. We are also in need of refs. The "new" system is slightly different from the previous one, now including fighter types and even Mana.
Summer Festival: Cancelled
Murder Mystery: Postponed indefinitely
Price is Right: Postponed until after the Reconstruction is complete.
NO ONE!

This Month's Contest:
Kage Challenge!
Alright...so this one started late, but it's MINE! Welcome to August, one of those months that hardly mean anything except the imminent end of summer approaching, or a birthday if you have one. So the contest has just about nothing to do with the month.
Here's the deal:
Let's mess around with self image! Yay! This month I want you all to tell me a song..any song...that you think best describes you. Yep...it can be any song, you can even CREATE one if you want.
Here's what I want to see:
Give me the lyrics that you think BEST attune to you. You don't have to quote the whole song...but you can if you want. I want creativity. Doesn't have to be a current perspective either...maybe a song that describes your childhood, or how you felt during your first kiss...anything. Doesn't even have to be YOUR perspective, it could be what you might guess someone else around you would pick for song lyrics that describe or talk about you (hoho that's interesting, no?).
For example: A song that my roomates all sang about me during my early college years would be Champagne Supernova by Oasis..specifically "Where were you when we were getting high?"
Reward:
I'll never tell! But I'm sure whoever wins will like it. I'm shooting for top 3, if 3 people even participate. Yes, I will bleed this contest over into like first week of September to give you time to stew on it and/or realize it's finally up. Good luck!
FIGHT NEWS
Stats Reset, System Updated
As some of you are aware, all the previous Classic Systems stats which have been in use for over three years, have been erased. All fighters wishing to re-register will do so on equal footing with each other.
The System is mostly identical to its predeccesor, but there are a few key differences. Please PM Backflip with any questions you may have, or simply check out the updated Rules Page in the guild. (Hopefully, the rules will be updated by the time you read this.) Included changes are: Mana, fist fighting, and Weapons.

Challenge System
Any fighter may request a Challenge Fight from Allen, the house Challenge Bot. Unlike Robby, Allen has HP and can be defeated. Why fight? Fighting Allen earns you extra stats or even gold! However, an equal wager of stats or gold must be placed up against his reward. Allen will assume stats based on yours and an appearance to match.
PM Backflip for a Challenge Match.
Guild News
Classic2
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?page=1&t=5847439#82688053
The Classic2 System, or C2, is up and running. Registration is open for any interested parties. Play is nearly identical to the normal fight system used in Mystic Nights with the exception of race and class specific talents and attributes.
Kestles
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=2697867
Kestles is the rough, hard hitting sport of the Mystic Nights Guild. Players hurl a large leather ball from stick to stick in an attempt to capture goals called Kestles. As rough as football (soccer), American football, Rugby, or hockey, this sport is a bone cracking, jaw jarring event.
Players put together a team and command all their team players like a coach. Interaction between players is based on the Mystic Nights Fight System.
Bounty
http://www.gaiaonline.com/guilds/viewtopic.php?t=2624475
Bounty! is up and registration is open. Players take on the role of either the Hunter or the Hunted in this game. Half chase, half capture, this game has your character moving across a board following leads on their bounty head (or fleeing from a hunter), then taking them on in a one-on-one fight to determine who goes home with the bounty. Versus and co-op modes are available and the system, of course, works off of the Mystic Nights Fight System. Stats earned in Bounty are transferable to your main fight account if desired.
The Mystiques
Besides being the name of our awesome cheerleading squad at Mystic Nights, the Mystiques are a group of collectable, breedable, growing pets for the Mystic Nights crowd. These pets will be available, hopefully, before the end of the year. They will have a new and unique fighting system created just for them that allows breeders/owners to battle against each other for prizes and other goodies.
The Mystics Family extends their prays and hopes for the family of our own Jerritt Todd. We ask the members of the bar and guild to keep his family in their thoughts and prayers.
Jerritt Todd
My family isn't going very well sad
My mother has an infection in her intestines so she's taking really strong antibiotics, the doctors found a mass on my grandma's lungs....and my aunt is having to get her womb cut out.....or the weight will crush her intestines. -sigh- My family never has been the best anyways but this is worse -.-
