-* Ask any member for a gmail address of a Calendar Admin
+=== Map editors ===
-* Either send that person a gmail from your gmail account that is set up in your characters name or send him an email requesting an gmail invite.
+The contest for the best map editors has been completed. The judges have ruled in the following order, and are most impressed with the activities of all our contestants.
-** If you got an invite, be careful, and sign up with your Eternal Lands Character name.

-== The Basic Teams ==
+==== Winners ====
-=== Miners ===
+# Top Prize: 1 Full set of Iron Plate + Fast Regen Cape - '''CATS Guild'''
-* These lucky folks deal with radiation, collapsing walls, etc. as well as all the good things that they might strike.
+# Second Place: 3k Silver Ore + 4k Bones - '''Lilbear'''
-* Anything other than the target objective that is found while mining belongs to the miner to compensate for the risks.  If the miner chooses, they can donate it to the project and the gc value of the find will be divided evenly amongst the participants.
+# Runner Up: 1 Enrichment Stones + 100 Fire Essences each - '''Kailomonkey'''
-=== Mules ===
-* These folks get to be the ones to travel twixt the miners bags and storage.
-* The lead mule (highest EMU) tends to collect all the goods in the end, and distribute them evenly amongst the participants.  Basic math skills required.
-=== The Bag Keepers ===
-* Depending on the number of participants, there will be one to three Bag Keepers.
-* Their role, keep the bags alive, and perhaps mine while doing so.
-* If mining, they should designate an alternate in case of random flight.
-== How it works ==
+== Fellowship Events ==
-* Most supplies are provided, but you might wish to bring a spare pick or two just in case we run out.
+Those of you who make yourself known to the Fellowship might get invited to one of our events. For more information about the events we hold please look at our [[Events/Fellowship|Fellowship Events Wiki Page]].
-* Food is almost always plentiful, come hungry
-* What you do with your share of the the harvested item is your choice.
-* Harvest events usually only run an hour, but might take a little longer to get everything to storage.
-* Please join channel 3571 to communicate during an event
-* If you need something, ask a bag holder
-* Limit the number of bags so that our mules don't have to jump on too many bags.

-[http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=pRBBzsPr9ta4K2L5xvpaRKw Character Statistics For Event Purposes] - Contact DragonCairn if you wish to participate. Easiest way - [http://focw.dragoncairn.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=66 Use our private Jabber server]
-The Fellowship will be attempting an Extended event once a month for the next few months.  Randomly determined a harvest event will be hanged to reflect something more.  Currently we are planning on Fire Essence and Earth Essence style events.  We may do Matter Essences and Health Essences in the future as well, these type events are harder to plan and execute, and we ask your forbearance as we attempt to work the kinks out.
-== Complex Team Work ==
-For these events to work, we need team players who are willing to go the extra mile, we'll be setting up team captains, and may even be considering setting up extra channels for the various teams to coordinate their efforts without impacting the global event channel. If the Coordinator deems that only one Supply Coordinator
-=== Mules - 3572 ===
-* The Mule Captain (usually the one with the highest EMU) in addition to coordinating the muling efforts will collect all the goods in the end, and distribute them evenly amongst all participants.
-* This team will be the ones to travel twixt the Bag Sitters and storage.
-* If there is to be any external foraging, this is the team to do it - flower harvesting, food gathering.
-* The Mule Captain may at any point distribute his team back to assist the others - and will inform the Coordinator that these individuals are available for temporary reassignment.
-* The Mule Captain is the only Mule needed to be on 3571 (unless it's the only channel)
-=== Miners/Alchemists - 3573-3575 ===
-* Each team will have a Supply Coordinator
-* With gloves or pick axes these hardy souls will take on mother nature, radon, and cave ins to acquire the inorganic components necessary to make our event a success.
-* They will also be responsible for completing the alchemy as necessary.
-* These folks do not need to be on 3571 (unless it's the only channel)
-=== Supply Coordinator - 3573-3575 ===
-* Keeping a bag of supplies going and ensuring the well fare of their miners/alchemists is the chief concern of a Supply Coordinator
-* Depending on the number of participants, there will be one to three Supply Coordinators.
-* Each of these individuals is responsible for coordinating a team of Miners/Alchemists- they will report to the Coordinator as to what their needs are and if their team members need to be assigned to work somewhere else.
-* If they are going to attempt mining, they need to discuss with their team who is to take the bag in the event of finding a teleport nexus.
-* This position requires management skills and coordination abilities.  Each of these members must also be on 3571
-=== Coordinator ===
-* The Coordinator may take any one of the roles available as they choose, BUT might want to consider taking the role of Lead Mule.
-* Responsible for insuring that each team has appropriate members, and enough workers of the right type.
-* Will determine if the additional channels are required - and will place folks into the teams as necessary.
