> Event: Monk Madness
>
> Server: Vallon Zek
>
> Time: Starting this Friday at 9PM eastern US time. That
> is GMT -5:00 for international monks. :)This will be an
> ongoing event until Sunday Night. Play as little or as
> much of that as you want to.
>
> Story: An evil gnome wizard experimenting with cloning
> captured a lone human monk in Freeport, and tried to
> clone him. He inadvertently triggered a chain reaction
> and suddenly there spawns many many many monks. All
> identical. Being of one mind they are also all of one
> guild, "The Armadillos of Norrath".
>
> Naming: This is an event in which monks from all
> servers who may know each other from messageboards will
> participate. Therefore I think it is a great idea that
> we use the naming convention '"your real monk
> name"dillo'. Or a variation thereof. Such that I am
> going to be Ipnodillo on vallon zek for the weekend. ;)
>
> Goal: Have fun. Group up with as many monks as you can
> and run around the zone punching everything in site. Go
> on suicide missions. We'll be like ants.
>
> To participate, create a new monk on Vallon Zek Friday
> Night. The monk should be the male version with the
> Priest of Discord face. We're gonna try to create a
> guild for this as well, so look for a guild officer to
> invite you. Please try to keep your guild tunic on at
> all times so we have the monk "look" about us. Invite
> all your friends to attend. This is an event to have
> fun, not so heavy on the roleplaying, but lets just
> have a LOT of fun.
>
> To clarify, your monk should look like this:
>
> http://www.shada.com/pod.jpg
>
> The guild has been submitted. Lets all hope verant
> approves it!
>
> Invite your non monk friends who have always admired
> your monkness as well! Lets try and make this event a
> legend of it's own kind! :)
>
> Just think. Hundreds of Identical Newbie Monks...
