Hail to you, Guilds of Aetherius!

Now, I bring you a rather unusual challenge for my latest little game. I
am sure the majority of you will be familiar with the fabulous game of
Capture the Flag, usually done between cities and councils. However,
this time I will be running it between guilds to see who can gain
supremacy over the competition! The winning three shall receive prizes
from me in the form of chests of gold, a total fund of over two and a
half million to use as you wish.

I look forward to congratulating the victors!

((OOC: The CTF will be held on Sunday 17th December, 2300-0100 GMT. It
will take place between the guilds rather than cities, and the first
place will get a million gold, second place receives five hundred
thousand gold, and third receives two hundred and fifty thousand gold.
There will also be bragging rights, and you may even be mentioned in the
IRE newsletter! The event will be on Sunday afternoon/early evening in
the States, late Sunday evening in England, very early Monday morning in
the rest of Europe, and later all points east.))
