This will be the first of hopfully many annual events, officially run by the JA but hosted by the D'Kana family.

Unlike a tournemant this will not conver just one element of the JKA world. This event will cover: Dueling, CTF, Racing, Flying and at least 3 other "secret" events. However, entering isnt simply a matter of posting your name either.

In order to enter you must answer as many of the following riddles as you can, and email the answers to DKanaFamily@gmail.com(please be sure to state your JA name also). Once these are marked, the highest 10 will be entered into the gauntlet and in the event of a tie the first entry submitted will win.

The closing date for the riddles will be tuesday the 12th of december however if we have 10 fully correct entrys before then the deadline will come forward....so be quick.

Once "the 10" have been chosen, they will take part in a series of challenges in which they must compete for points. The individual with the most points over all the events will win.

Prizes will be announced once the 10 have been selected. :)

On behalf of all the JAK+ and the D'Kana Family we wish you the best of luck....

Let the games begin :)

Click here, and click "the gauntlet" for the riddles

Wisdom of the riddles hides in that, you need always extend your sight area, finding totally weird aspects of it, nose picking...etc

You should like solve them with poke :D

*****ANSWERS*****

1)It cant....its dead ("There is a frog, dead in the center of a pond" ;) )

2)You dont bury survivors! (They're still alive, they'd be livid!)

3)Sigh.....Cant dig half a hole!

4)Ask either of them "If i asked the other man, what would he say", in either case you get the wrong answer....so you take the OTHER door.

5)This is a toughy....for two points...You take the chair, break it in to halfs. What do you get if you put two halfs together? ....a whole/hole.....and you climb through it.

For one point: you sit on the chair, and stand up...to get an ex-sit.

Whos kicking themselves? Whos actually planning to come kill me? And was this fun?

i'll announce the lucky 10 who will be facing the gauntlet soon. Best of luck to all, and thank you for your entries you all made a decent attempt :)
