Hosted by The League of Monster Slayers
July 7, 2023 8:00 PM
The cabal “The League of Monster Slayers” is hosting a game of musical chairs with all of the whimsy and charm you would expect! Player “fowlskins” will be holding the event at 4:00 PM EDT (20:00 UTC) on 07 July 2023 in Axel’s (615,135) on the second level of the Hollowed Halls of Agartha! For those unfamiliar with musical chairs, players try to sit in an open seat during a period of time typically designated by music - when the music stops, anyone not in a chair has lost, and the number of chairs decreases as the rounds played increase. For the League of Monster Slayers’ rendition of the game, players will be told when to rush to seats and when the time’s up, but no music will be involved. The game ends once there is only one player left seated, no matter how many rounds that may take. The winner will be given an [Agent Dossier: Amir] x 1 by the League of Monster Slayers.
Please do not Dodge or use any Gadgets or Active or Passive abilities that offer increased movement speed, dashes, teleports, or other means of movement that might provide an unfair advantage. Using any of the above will disqualify you from the game.
If you want to play, Meet Up on “fowlskins” before the game begins!
