The Spiral Knights Winter Battle Royale! In-game name: mr-merc-man
Prerequisties:
Snowballs of any type. I'm sure everyone participating in the event will be willing to share balls if you do not have enough. I'll also be giving out some before the event starts. However, that does not mean you should not be prepared. Please bring balls if you can.
Buckets of Flawed Snowballs are in fact, allowed.
Rules:
Players knock each other out using Snowballs, if you're hit, you're out.
If you're hit, equip your starter equipment and go to garden. This way people will know if you've been hit. Don't try to cheat, Referees and I will be constantly monitoring the game. Referees will equip a different set up of armor if they are hit.
Last one standing wins.
