Additionally: returning flags grants you a point win for your team red or blue , Kills do not count because its capture the flag not death match, but killing opposition does prevent the other from running with your flag,
So only the flag holder matters in killing, when they are slain, the flag is then dropped and return to its side

I like the language in the promo but I have to admit I dont quite understand what the intention is, what role will the vassals play during the actual PvP capture the flag arena? How does their role differ from the "candidate"?
I am a candidate now. For me that means asserting that this game variant sounds like a lot of fun. I hope my "vassals" if any, have fun too. It seems like a simple game of capture the flag, but realistically this is not a meta game where everything has been tuned, and only certain classes can contribute, neither does it seem likely to dissolve into pure jank(because there are strategy/chance elements). I suppose my role will be different in that I spoke up, not because I am better. Sometimes a challenge is an invitation too.

While I was interested to participate as a vasal, because of the time difference it won't be possible for me.

Looking forward to see the videos to understand how this actually works.

Cheers

This is the First Edition of The King of Dust.

The King of Dust is a CtF/PvP event.

The First Battle Cycle of The King of Dust will begin on May 30th at 8 PM Eastern (-4 GMT) at the Wayward Lobster in Shadowdale.

To participate in the event, players must comment on this post with: “Candidate: Avatar name”.

Each Candidate will be entitled to bring 4 Vassals.

The Candidate list will close on May 22nd at 11 PM Eastern (-4 GMT).

After the Candidate list closes, Candidate Pairs will be randomly selected.

Battle Cycle:

The list of Candidate Pairs will be published in this same post.

In order of the list, each Candidate Pair will be invited to join the Battle Group.

Failure to respond to the invitation within 5 minutes will result in the Candidate's disqualification.

The Battle Group will consist of 2 Observers, 2 Candidates, and 0 to 8 Vassals.

The Battle Group will then be divided, each group consisting of 1 Observer, 1 Candidate, and 0 to 4 Vassals.

The Battle for the Crown of Dust will last 10 minutes in Capture the Flag mode at the Menechtarun Desert.

Killing an Observer will disqualify the Candidate even if his Vassal is the killer.

After each Battle Cycle ends, a new draw will be held with the winners of the previous cycle, and a new cycle will begin until a final Candidate remains.

The Last Candidate and his Vassals must enter the PVP area of Wayward Lobster where the Vassals can declare who is The King of Dust (by kneel for him) or compete amongst themselves for the Crown of Dust in a battle where the king will be the last man standing.

P.S.: Donations to the event can be converted into prizes and should be made to Nyrvjjn in Shadowdale.
“Candidate: ZECUSCUZ”.

I'm wondering if this is an adult themed event, based on the vagueness of its description.

I read the event as capture the flag for the murderous amongst us. It is additive to apply "vagueness" as a means to insert "adult themed". An open invitation for a game event shouldn't include a doubt query about any participants' adult themes. Buck up and participate, instead of dithering. Play the game have fun.
