Sea Dog Nights Event Information
Dog of the Sea Contest | Play With the Gypsies! | Graces Revenge | Da Bank
Do you have what it takes to be the TOP DOG? Demonstrate your skills and be the leader of the pack with Sea Dog Nights
DOG OF THE SEA CONTEST for 2010. Win fabulous prizes, claim notoriety and lead the rest of us canines in next year's
Sea Dogs Gypsy Parade. It doesn't take much, just be the mutt with the most, DOG POUNDS that is.
DOG POUNDS are the currency of the realm and each individual who passes through Gate will be given a small amount. There
are hundreds of thousands of Dog Pounds in play. Keep a tight grip on them as there are unscrupulous brigands lurking in
the shadows, ready and waiting to separate you from your booty. Deposit your mullah in Da Bank
(located in the Orc's Belly Inn) and it will be kept safe and secure. Any Dog Pounds occupying the general event site will
be up for grabs, but be aware, nothing can be taken from Gate, personal tents or vendors!! In other words, once
your doggie dollars have been stashed in your tent, they are no longer at risk of being thieved. Dog Pounds can also be
used for bribery, skullduggery or trade. Most of all their cumulative value will used to determine who amongst us is the
top dog, the mutt with the most, Sea Dog Night's 2010 DOG OF THE SEA.
The Dog of the Sea Contest officially begins Friday morning at 8 am and ends Sunday at noon when all the booty is gathered
and counted. The winner of the 2010 Dog of the Sea Contest will be announced at Knotty Kourt on Sunday. Any scurvy pirate
can go for the title of Dog of the Sea. This pirate can beg, borrow, steal, or have donated in their name more Dog Pounds
than the rest of the pack.
Yet all that cunning and bribery may not be enough to put you at the top. Have no fear, pirates and their mates will
have the opportunity to earn even more doggie dollars by entering in several contests of skill and prowess. Not only will
the top 3 winners for each contest win some phenomenal loot to take home, they will earn more dog pounds to use for
themselves or to donate to others. Listen for Heralds during the event for updates and details of all the contests.
NEW-Dog of the Sea- Rapier Tourney-NEW
Show off your swashbuckling abilities in the newest contest this year by
joining the Dog of the Sea Rapier Tourney. The first place winner will take away $20,000 Dog Pounds, second will take home
$13,000 dog pounds and third will be awarded $7000 dog pounds. Plus all winners will be awarded prizes any Rapierist would
covet for their own.
Are you a lover and not a fighter, but still need the booty to win Dog of the Sea? Well there may be a fighter out there
who is not so much interested in the Dog Pounds as they are in grabbing the loot and having their name go down the annals
of Sea Dog history as the 2010 Rapier Champion. I suggest you check with Emilio of the Castilian Trading Company and he
may be able to arrange a meeting of the minds. Be prepared to beg, bribe or coerce that nimble fighter into winning the
competition for you. Team up and you can split the booty and share the glory. The bucks can be yours if you just use your
pirate wit and cunning.
Time: Armor inspection and sign up begins at 10:00 AM Saturday. Fighting will commence shortly thereafter.
Place: The War Zone. See map at Gate or check in at the Scuttlebutt to find the War Zone location. Listen for
Herald prior to event for further details. Note: All weapons and armor must be inspected prior to being used in any rounds
of this competition.

Dog of the Sea-Treasure Hunt
Here is your chance to capture your share of pirate spoils with the
Dog of the Sea Treasure Hunt. Thar be an incredible chest of riches displayed on Dockside filled with enough plunder to
quicken your black pirate heart. You'll want a piece of that action, but how do you get in on the loot? You can earn a
share of the treasure by using your wits and keenness to complete a series of puzzles and riddles and find a limited
number of treasure tokens. This contest is open to all ages, young and old, teams or individuals, so grab your mates and
collect all the tokens you can. Treasure tokens are an entitlement to a share of the treasure, but it is the sly dogs with
the quick brains and the most tokens who will get first pick of the booty.
Time and Place: Starting Saturday morning when Dockside awakes, stop by the Scuttlebutt and get your first clue to
finding the elusive tokens, or track down the Treasure Master Danielle at Ignition and she will send you on your way. Shares
will be divvied up Sunday afternoon (TBA-check at Scuttlebutt or listen for Herald) when the pirate with the most tokens
gets the first pick of the hoard. The plundering continues in rounds as the last person to choose is eliminated and the
first person chooses again, and on down the line until the coffers are bare. Did I mention amongst the heap of riches will
be wads of cash, Dog Pounds that is, in the amounts of $20,000, $13,000 and $7000. So take the bling or choose the bucks,
just find those tokens to get your share of the treasure.

NEW - How to obtain extra dog pounds - NEW
Along with the official Dog of the Sea contests above, you can earn
extra dog pounds this year by participating in several different events, plots or plans. Grab your maties, put your noggins
together and increase your chances of being the mutt with the most...
Participate in a winning way in the Gypsy Parade or show off your talent and flair in one of the many events on the Gypsy
Stage (located near the Orc Belly Inn) and earn even more dog pounds for your stash. Contact the Gypsy Queen or one of her
bevy of beauties at the Gypsy Stage to find out how to take your share of their treasure.
Locate the Money Couriers
There will be several pirates scurrying about throughout the weekend
with packets of dog pounds upon their persons. The packets will contain dog pound amounts ranging from $200 to $2000 dog
pounds. Meet a challenge of the couriers' choice, one on one and you win the packet of booty for your very own.
There is a catch. You must add $100 dog pounds (which must given the courier BEFORE the challenge begins) to the packet per challenge.
If you win, you get your $100 bucks back plus the entire contents of the packet. But BEWARE! If you lose the challenge, you
lose the $100 bucks and you will not be able to issue any challenges to any courier for 60 minutes.
You got no bucks to throw in the kitty, or you are a straight up skinflint and don't want part with your booty? There is
another way. If by hook or by crook and devious pirate skullduggery you figure a way to remove the packet from the courier
without their knowledge or notice, the whole packet is yours free and clear. But if you are caught, you must cough up the
$100 bucks and forfeit any hope of a challenge. Remember! Nothing can be removed from ANYONE'S personal tent and the couriers
cannot be attacked or harmed bodily unless it is part of their challenge.
Bring in the Bounty
There are several low life pirates, due to debits, deception or other
such offenses who are "WANTED" by the Sea Dog Nation. Be the first group or individual to bring them to justice (Constables
Court-details to be announced) and you will receive the bounty on their heads. Be on the lookout for the mugs of these
notorious hooligans on the "Wanted Posters" which will be in evidence at several locations on site. Bounty amounts will vary.
In addition there is one very special heavy, shiny, symbolic item which is in circulation that can boost your pocket book
greatly. It will be on open display at all times. Find it and bring it to Da Bank to reap your reward.
There are many ways to reach your goal to become the 2010 Dog of the Sea. See you at the games...

The dog of the sea contest involves the Gypsies hosting the parade and determining who is the most active household in the
parade. Dog pounds are awarded to many people in whole there is a big pot of dogpounds awarded to the most involved
household. This is a portion of the gypsies pot given in one lump sum. The total income is determined the day we receive our
loot. We are splitting the loot with the Gypsy Stage & Carnival this year. Due in part to the new carnival of
improvisational stage performances we hope to have planned by local area interest. Not only actual performers will be on
stage, but we offer space for talent to earn their dogpounds.
Rules for Harlequin Gypsy Dog of the Sea:
1. Have fun
2. Most involved participants will donate their dog pounds to the household of their
choice
3. Actual entries can participate in a float award. (Which will be deducted from the pot tally)
4. Creative attire also plays role in the awarding of dogpounds
Children do count as participants in a event. Adults take priority. Children need to be supervised by their guardians.
Gypsy Stage Carnival Show:
Acts & performances can enter to win dogpounds towards the Dog of the Sea. The pot will be donated to the top 3
performances related to Humor, Performance, Theme & Theater. That being said, the gypsies want to win dog of the sea this
year so come on and make bank for the Gypsies!
