Ho, ho, ho!

As snow gently trickles through our wildest dreams, Christmas trees and colored lights illuminate the street and we smile as we hear the excited laughter of children on every street corner - all because of what is commonly known as Christmas - Ryzom shines in the warm light, and mulled wine and chocolate are ready to be enjoyed.

But before you prepare the Christmas goose, experience an Atys Christmas as only you can in Ryzom! Ryzom and the Animation4 team invite you to celebrate the end of 2009. Mark your calendar now because there is much in store for you.

Beginning 1 December 2009, we start with a writing contest! Write a story, poem or an original song around the theme: "Atysmas Tales" and submit them using "Atysmas" in the WebIG (or here).

Your submissions will be accepted from today, 1 December 2009 until 15 December 2009 at midnight (Paris time). Please only one submission for each account, and all sumissions must be in the theme of Atys and Christmas.

From 1st to 20 December all players are invited to read all submissions and rate them. Consider carefully as your rating is final and shall decide the winning stories.

The winning stories will be presented between 20 to 25 December.

Is that everything? Let's think for a moment... hmmmm... Of course not! What would Christmas be without surprises ;P .... We'll give away this: The weekend of 18, 19 and 20 December will have only one goal: Let's have magic!

Good luck to all participants in the story competition. We shall see you soon in Ryzom to live the delights of Christmas together!
