Uh Hum. Sorry, a bit of stage fright, this is my first bulletin!
_{I think. meh.}

To my esteemed botbrs^tm,

I, your loyal wizard in red coat, rejoice at my return, yet alas, my jubilation is shadowed by a dire predicament.

Upon my, hum, unwitting departure, Nes, the blue dragon, formerly my patron, laid claim to my long-standing abode. He now regards my ancestral halls as his own, because... Well, lets face it, he is the larger one! Self-doubt gnaws at me, for it is clear that my extended absence wounded his pride, and I fear my citadel has become a symbolic conquest, an act of revenge.

Yet, I implore you, my valorous friends, to lend aid in the retrieval of my home. Let us ride forth, united in our quest to reclaim that which is rightfully mine. Together, we shall tackle this draconic usurpation and... Yes, yes, there will be chests and boons on the way*.

S.I.D, for 𝔖𝔞𝔡𝔦𝔰𝔱𝔦𝔠 ℑ𝔠𝔬𝔰𝔞𝔥𝔢𝔡𝔯𝔬𝔫 𝔇𝔲𝔫𝔤𝔢𝔬𝔫, is a Battle series with a few plot twists.

Themes/chips
One of the goals here is to revive some old formats I love, and SID is of course a part of it. But there will be SAPx2, genesis and over cool stuff! A part of the battles, maybe even "boss battles", who knows, will be Wild Chips (or Chirps, if OPM answer my call!), so everyone can choose their favorite weapon...

Rules/features
You will learn more about it after the first battle, but there will be a lot of shenanigans and in-between stuff, as the result of a battle will have an impact on the following battles... That include changing the format and duration, for example, of the next event.

And epic pixel arts bitpacks (I can safely say that, spent 40 hours on the first bitpack!!)

Oh, there will be a 𝖜𝖊𝖇𝖘𝖎𝖙𝖊

too (to follow the in-between stuff and link to the past battles / events)

Rewards
Boon rewards are planned, but I will depends of how my personal treasury evolve, and what I can get back from Nes...

Opening simple battle, tomorrow. Stay tuned!

_{*offer limited in time, that can evolve depending of the draconic problems, number of participants and/or donations.}

Well... So war is declared. Come if you dare, I had time to prepare!
Oh, and this is MY castle.

big new series! woah, exciting, I will participate when I can! 40 hours on a bitpack image? O_O

Yeah... But there is much more, like a website etc, to start with, so that isn't the worst part :p I just really really hope people will like all of that.

LVL10 Warlock LFG some serious SID dungeon crawling~

let's go. castle is BACK in the most MASSIVE WAY POSSIBLE and i am HERE FOR IT

Sounds fun!

guess im reinstalling deflemask

danger danger!!

let's freaking GO

Ted won the first battle, so he will choose what is the next battle!
https://castlenes.net/SID/

Who is Ted? :P

Do I choose the format in this thread or in private?

Lol, Tex, sorry. As you wish! Also consider you don't choose only a format, but also a path in the dungeon! (you can see that on the website).
(and cool track, by the way!)

Thanks! I choose sgen.

What about a bit of drama?

I recruit minions!

Join my side and steal the victory from Castle's allies, and you will get a reward...

Our side won this battle, thanks to OPM, Fillippp, binomial squared and Damifortune!

For the next battle, they have to choose between South, with .sid format, or east with a Wild Chip!

1 vote for wildchip from me 🫡

OPM voted Wild chip
filippp voted SID
Damifortune Wild chip

Binomial Squared isn't on the discord and didn't vote, but... I am in Castle's team, obviously, I think... I may give my vote to Wild Chip too, so that's a majority!

Next battle is 4HB Wild chip !
Logically, next WE, just need to cook a new bitpack ;)

Huh, as you noted, I wasn't able to prepare and plan the battle soon enough, so rather than to do it badly, I prefer to postpone a bit, to have a proper bitpack and some time to prepare.
Sorry for the inconvenience! I will not be here today also, IRL stuff, that also explain my decision...
More news later for the 4HB!
