The Sanditon Regatta
The Sanditon Resort is hosting a regatta from June 30 to July 6. The main event of this is, at least in theory, boat things. Is that for you/your characte? BOY IS THIS THE SIGNUP THREAD FOR YOU.
Please note that you can...
- Sign up and thread your participation
- Sign up and not thread your participation
- Sign up with (an)other played character(s)
- Sign up with (an) NPC character(s) on your team
- Not sign up but still mention competing—if you do this, you can't win, and I would strongly prefer nothing disastrous happen unless you let me know for article purposes.
Sanditon cup has entry fees that would be affordable to UC only. All other competitions have entry fees reasonably affordable to MC/UC.

The prize is 10G and a solid gold ship in a bottle by way of tropy. The weather in the bottle reflects the weather outside wherever the bottle is, which is nice. Boats provided.Entrants should be...
