Found this while looking up Dev posts, figured I'd post it here for you Great Lake'ians:

A message from EM Leto

The notification for the PVP Tournament last night was no different than
any of the last ten events hosted on Great Lakes. The lantern was set out
in the Trammel Castle British throne area several hours before the
event. This is the standard method used to notify players that there will
be an event on Great Lakes. About an hour prior to the event Sebastian
made appearances in: Trammel West Britain Bank, Luna Bank and Yew Gate
Felucca announcing that there would be a tournament and where to check for
more information. Town Criers all were alerted and directed players to the
Counselors Guild in Skara Brae. The only aspect that didn't go as planned
was the fact that the Skara Brae town guards were not
cooperating. Sebastian has sent them a letter of reprimand and hopefully
this won't be a problem in the future.

Thanks to the many people who participated in the tournament. There is a
ballot box at Sebastian's house in Trammel Britain, just north of the
stables, inside of the Castle walls. Please cast your vote for what type
of PVP Tournament you would like to see in the future. The options are
Teams or Last Man Standing. If you have further comments please leave them
on the bulletin board or you may drop a book inside of the green donation
box and Sebastian will be sure to read it and consider your suggestions.

There did seem to be quite a fuss made about that event. But I didn't hear about it until the day after. (like all events )

woot bring on a naked pvp tourney no armor, jewels and shield wep or book. bring what you know. 1v1. Pvp style though with a wall. pots, specials, any gimp crap you can think of without armor. oh was this idea supposed to go in box im logging back in server back up i thinks!

oopps let me clarify you can only use jewels , wep in hand or book and a shield. muhahahhaha sick.
