Event will run for 9 nights in a row, from December 12th to December 20th. All event nights will start at 6:00PM PST.
This event is our 3rd annual Christmas guild event and our biggest + most expensive guild event to date. It features NINE nights in a row of guild events, with almost 50 activities planned and over 2 billion credits worth of prizes to be won. Every single event night has a tournament, a game/activity, a contest, a giveaway, and gifts for all who attend. Even if you don't win any games/contests/etc, you'll still be able to have a good time and walk away with some free shit from BBB!
All guildies are welcome and encouraged to participate, both new and old. Even if you've never really got involved before, you shouldn't hesitate to get in on this stuff! Our hope is that with 9 nights of guild events everyone will be able to attend at least 1 night, as we know lots of people are busy during the holiday season. The main goal for this event is to give back to the members and provide everyone with some BBB holiday fun. This could easily be one of the biggest guild events to ever happen in SWTOR, so you don't wanna miss out!
NOTE: We will not be doing any conquest invasions during the week of December 13th - 19th. This allows us to focus exclusively on event stuff without needing to worry about conquest races.

DAY 1 - 9: DECEMBER 12TH - 20TH
This tournament is one of the main parts of the event and will take place on all 9 event nights. 8 of these nights will be X class vs X class, where participants only fight people with the same class as them. For example, one night is Operative vs Operative, next night is Sorcerer vs Sorcerer, and so on. Then on the 9th night the best person from each class goes up against the best people from the other classes to see who is the best out of everyone. Aside from this major change in format, the tournament will mostly be the same as our classic tournaments in regards to procedure/rules/prizes/etc.This tournament is open to all guildies. If you wish to participate, simply show up to any of our tournaments with the class that is specified for that day. No sign-up required.

3rd | 5,000,000 Credits | 3rd | 20,000,000 Credits |
PROCEDURE
- Event nights will always start with duels. The grouping of participants will start at 6:00PM PST and the fights themselves will start at 6:30PM PST at the absolute latest.
- For the first 8 nights, participants will only fight people that are the same class as them. On the final night, the best from each of the classes will all go up against each other.
- Duels will take place on BBB Imp 1's flagship in the Command Deck arena.
- The Class vs Class tournaments will be in single-elimination format. If you lose you're out of that class's tournament. If you win you'll fight against others who won their matches as well. This will continue until only one person is left - the person who won all their matches. Basically, it's last man standing to see who is the best from each class.
- In the All Classes Championship tournament, the best person from each class will all fight the others who are best in their class as well. Winning a fight grants that person 1 point -- up to a maximum of 7 points since everyone will have at least 7 fights. If there ends up being a tie for 1st place, the tied fighters will duel eachother for the tiebreaker.
- All fighters will be invited to an ops group and randomly matched up with another fighter by the officer coordinating the fights.
- When it's your turn to duel, an officer will call your name out along with who you're fighting. (Ex. "Soandso vs Suchandsuch is up next!") You will enter the designated fighting arena and wait until the officer directing the event gives the go-ahead to start dueling.
- Take down your opponent before they take down you and you win the fight.
- All matches except for the final few will consist of only 1 round. The final matches will be 3 rounds.
RULES
- Must be level 70.
- Gear doesn't matter, wear anything you want.
- No healers or tanks allowed, DPS only. (Fights with tanks/healers take much too long and are very boring to watch.)
- Companions are NOT permitted.
- Stims, medpacs, adrenals, and grenades ARE permitted.
- Stealth IS allowed, but you cannot sneak out of the ring.
- Fighters must stay WITHIN the ring. Willfully leaving the ring will result in a loss. (If you get pushed out by your opponent, simply get back in the ring ASAP)
- Members who are not currently fighting must stay OUT of the ring at ALL TIMES. Also, do not obstruct view with AoE's/oversized mounts/etc.
- Everyone MUST listen to the directions of the officers at all times.
- If you take 1st place for a class, you are NOT eligible to compete with any other classes. Beating everyone else in your class means that's the class you must use in the All Classes Championship.
- If you fail to get 1st place for a class, you are welcome to come back on another night with a different class. You can even compete with all 8 classes if you wish, assuming you don't win 1st place with one first.
- If a 1st place winner cannot attend the All Classes Championship, then we will resort to using the 2nd place winner, or the 3rd, or 4th, and so on. That means if you place high you should make sure to attend the All Classes Championship, just in case the 1st place winner isn't there to claim their spot -- then you can take it instead.

PROCEDURE
- When it's time to hand out attendance gifts, we will form a couple ops groups and get everyone invited to them.
- Once everyone who attended is in one of these groups, we'll assign a couple officers from the groups to gift distribution.
- These officers will be marked with a target marker + ops LT and they will trade gifts to people one at a time.
- As soon as an officer gives someone a gift, they will remove that person from the group to show that they've received one.
RULES
- Limit of 1 gift per person per night. (You can claim 1 on each night, but not 2 in the same night.)
- Be patient. You shouldn't be asking "is it time to hand out gifts yet???" over and over. Also don't spam officers with trade requests while they're handing out gifts.

DAY 1: MONDAY, DECEMBER 12TH
This is a classic game of Hide & Seek, just like all the other ones we've done. Officers/staff will hide somewhere on Ilum, then the members will search for them. If you find an officer you will win credits. There will be 10 hidden staff/officers in total -- find one of them and you get 5,000,000 credits!
PROCEDURE
- All participants will be placed into ops group(s) and flagship summoned to a designated starting point on Ilum. Officers will already be hidden, so there won't be any need to wait for that.
- Once everyone loads in and is ready to go, we'll give the go-ahead to start searching.
- An up-to-date list of staff/officers that are still hidden will be posted in BBB channel every 1 - 2 minutes while people are out searching.
- Officers will NOT be allowed to: Use stealth, switch instances, enter phases, change hiding spots, exploit any glitches, or give any members an unfair advantage over others.
- If the members are struggling to find anyone for too long, hints will be given in the BBB channel.
- The game area is ALL of Ilum -- the entire planet, excluding phases.
PRIZES
Finding 1 officer = 5,000,000 Credits reward |
RULES
- If you find an officer you must use any /emote (Ex. /poke, /slap, /dance, etc) on them to show that you've "caught" them.
- All participants must be in position at the designated starting area before the game begins.
- Each member will only be allowed to find a maximum of 1 staff/officer. Once you find someone, you're ineligible to claim further prizes -- however you're still welcome to help others search.

DAY 2: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH
This will be just like the Human Darts game we did at Shitterfest 2016, only it will take place on Hoth instead of Makeb.
PROCEDURE
- We'll be going to the top of a downed starship in the The Starship Graveyard on Hoth. Everyone will be grouped up and flagship summoned there.
- Once everyone gets there, members will take turns leaping off of this starship and falling to their deaths below. Participants closest to the "bullseye" at the bottom will win a few million credits.
- There will be a total of 3 rounds, with 3 winners from each round.
- For the first 2 rounds, members will jump off one at a time when their names are called. Officers will go down a list announcing names in ops chat. When your name is called, you'll need to take your turn and jump off of the ship immediately. (Aim for the pipe connecting to the satellite below.)
- For the third and final round, everyone will be jumping off at the exact same time. Everyone will come to the edge, we'll do a readycheck, and give a countdown. Then everybody jumps off all at once.
- After jumping off, you'll need to remain dead until officers give permission to respawn. We'll have an officer down below to serve as the "bullseye" and they will be measuring the distance between themselves and the bodies around them. This allows us to have accurate measurements when figuring out the winners and lets you watch all the raining guildies come down. So, very important that you don't respawn early.
- After rounds end and we give the okay to respawn, we'll re-summon everyone back up to the peak of the starship. Then we'll start again once everyone gets there.
PRIZES

- Do NOT respawn until given permission by an officer.
- Do NOT sorc pull/translocate/leap/phasewalk/etc.

DAY 2: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH
This will be a simple contest to see who comes on commander runs the most.
PROCEDURE
- Officers and staff ALWAYS document commander runs with screenshots, so everyone who comes on these runs will automatically be entered into the contest just by being there.

DAY 2: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 13TH
This is both a giveaway and a game combined into one, where all participants will be matched up against another participant and given free Chance Cubes to open. Whoever receive the higher value item wins and moves on to the next round, where they'll repeat the process. Whoever loses is out of the game but still gets to keep their items.
PROCEDURE
- The format of this is similar to classic 1v1 duel tournaments.
- All participants will be invited to ops groups and randomly matched up against an opponent.
- Officers will call out "This'person vs That-person" and the specified participants will enter the ring, where an officer will trade each of them a Chance Cube.
- Participants will have a moment to open their Chance Cubes and review their items, before linking the item they feel has the highest value into chat.
- Whichever participant receives the highest value item over their opponent wins the round and moves on to compete again in future rounds. The person with the lower value item is out of the game but still gets to keep their items that they got out of Chance Cube.
- This repeats until only 1 person is left -- the person who won all their matches.
PRIZES
- Everyone who participates is guaranteed at least 1 Chance Cube.
- For every round you make it through that's 1 more Chance Cube you get.
- Depending on the number of participants and how far you make it, you could receive quite a few Chance Cubes from this.
RULES
- Participants are NOT allowed to leave the ring during their turn. This is to prevent them from checking GTN prices.
- Similarly, spectators are NOT allowed to give active participants any info on prices.
- The officers coordinating the game will be in charge of judging what is worth more, either via the GTN OR personal experience -- if the items are not listed.

DAY 3: WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 14TH
We will be providing easy access to a few of the most difficult and most effective datacrons in the game.
- Fleet +10 All Stats:
This datacron is located in the Ziost Shadow's museum. Flagship summons are not permitted around the datacron, so we'll be using a chain of sorc pulls to get people to the datacron.
- Rishi +40 Mastery:
This datacron is located on Rishi. It requires certain items to access and is only available for a short timeframe, so we'll flagship summon people in waves of 24+ at once.
- Makeb +10 Endurance:
This datacron is located on Makeb and can easily be summoned to, over and over.
- Makeb +10 Presence:
Same deal as the other Makeb datacron, we can summon repeatedly.
If you're missing any of these datacrons, this is a great chance to get them.

DAY 5: FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16TH
This activity is very similar to the duel tournaments we do, so those of you who have attended them before will already have a good idea of how this goes. The format of this tournament will be pretty much identical to a classic duel tournament, however the combat itself will be much different. The only abilities allowed are the 4 unarmed legacy attacks -- punch, jab, uppercut, and bash. That is all. No other abilities are allowed to be used.
See here for a guide on how to get these abilities, how they work, and the best way to use them.
PROCEDURE
- The tournament will be in single-elimination format. If you lose you're out of the tournament. If you win you'll fight against others who won their matches as well. This will continue until only one person is left - the person who won all their matches. Basically, it's last man standing.
- All matches except for the final ones will consist of only 1 round. The final matches will be 3 rounds.
- Fights will take place in a boxing ring on BBB Imp 2 flagship.
- Those who wish to fight in the tournament will be invited to an ops group and randomly matched up against another participant. The officer in charge of coordinating matches will direct fighters in and out of the ring when it is their turn to fight. When your turn comes, you must quickly get into the ring and start your fight.
- Once the fight starts, start throwing punches and get your opponent down as quickly as possible.
- There will be 2 officers serving as referees -- 1 for each fighter. They will keep their designated fighter targeted and watch them closely throughout the match to ensure they do not break any of the rules. This will ensure the fights are fair and nobody has to worry about cheating. They will be watching very closely for prohibited abilities and won't be letting shit slide.

Even if you don't win 1 of the top 3 spots in the Life Day Stronghold Contest, you still have a chance to get your <Bringing Down the House> achievement for having 50 people in your stronghold at once.
PROCEDURE
- After announcing the Stronghold Contest winners, we'll form up ops groups and invite everyone to their strongholds to get them their achievements.
- Once those winners have their achievements, we'll do a /roll giveaway for everyone who came and visited their strongholds.
- The person with the highest roll will then have everyone invited to their stronghold so they can get the achievement.
- After that person has their achievement, we'll do another /roll for someone else to get their achievement too.
- This will repeat at least 5 times, maybe more.
PRIZES
- AT LEAST 5 <Bringing Down the House> achievement giveaways. (Achievement for having 50 people in your stronghold at once)
- We might do several more SH cheevo giveaways, depending on time and group cooperation.

- 1 /roll per person, per round.
- If you win, don't be a dick and drop group as soon as you get your achievement. Stick around to help other winners get their achievements too. Same goes for people who lose every round.

DAY 6: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17TH
This is a new style of race that we have not done before. Instead of a free-for-all race where everyone is against each other like we usually do, this will be a relay race for several 4-man teams that will require you to use teamwork.
PROCEDURE
- Participants will be invited to an ops groups and flagship summoned to a designated staring point on Hoth.
- Before the race begins, teams will be decided. Participants are welcome to form their own teams, but anyone who doesn't want to form their own will be assigned to a group at random. Each ops group frame will = 1 team.
- Participants will get a moment to decide which teammate is going where, then officers will begin guiding people to their appropriate starting positions. Team Member 1 starts race at the starting line, Team Member 2 starts race at the 1st checkpoint, Team Member 3 starts race at the 2nd checkpoint, and Team Member 4 starts race at the 3rd checkpoint.
- Team Member 1 will be given a random item to serve as their "baton" and they will need to pass this item off to Team Member 2 once they reach the checkpoint.
- Once everyone is ready, the announcing officer will say "GO!" Team Member 1, who begins at the starting line, will then race to Team Member 2, located at the 1st checkpoint.
- Team Member 1 will trade their "baton" -- aka the random idea an officer gave them -- to Team Member 2, who will then start their stretch of the race and get to Team Member 3, located at the 2nd checkpoint.
- Once again, Team Member 2 will trade the "baton" to Team Member 3, who will then race to Team Member 4 at the 3rd checkpoint.
- After Team Member 3 passes "baton" to Team Member 4, Team Member 4 will race to the finish line.
- First 3 teams to finish will win credits for each of the team members.
MAP
- This is the race path we will be using. Start/finish points as well as the hand-off checkpoints are marked.
- Racers do NOT need to follow the path exactly, but they WILL need to reach a very specific point on it so its best to stick somewhat close.

- Officers will rate outfits on a scale of 1 - 10 for 2 categories:
- Appearance -- How nice it looks, in their personal opinion.
- Christmas Theme -- How much it fits the theme of Christmas. (Examples would be red/green/white dyes, Santa/elf/snowman/etc outfits, any kind of shit like that.)

DAY 6: SATURDAY, DECEMBER 17TH
This is a classic Secret Santa gift exchange, similar to what you might do with friends or coworkers.
PROCEDURE
- Members who wish to participate must reply to this thread with the phrase "x secret santa" and list at least 3 items between 1 - 10 million credits that they would like to receive.
- This must be done BEFORE December 12th, as that is the cutoff point and no further participants will be allowed to enter after that.
- On December 12th, everyone who X'ed up will be randomly assigned to another person by Siino. Everyone will receive a private message from him telling them who they need to get a gift for + some items that person would like.

RULES
- If you sign up, you are expected to follow through and get a gift for the person you're assigned to. Officers will be checking up with every single person who enters to make sure they received their gifts. Failing to get a gift to your assigned person before December 27th will result in a 10,000,000 credit fine. If that fine does not get paid, then you will be permanently banned from BBB. We will NOT tolerate people who selfishly try to take advantage of guildies.
- If you'd like to participate but cannot make it to the event on the 17th, you ARE allowed to give your gift late. Just make sure to do so before December 27th.

- Once teams are formed up, they'll be flagship summoned to their designated starting points on Ilum.

- After everyone arrives at their starting point on Ilum, officers will give the go-ahead to begin fighting.

DAY 8: MONDAY, DECEMBER 19TH
Similar to our BBB Jeopardy game from Shitterfest 2016, this will be another gameshow knockoff where members can win lots of credits.
PROCEDURE
- Members will group up and gather on the BBB Imp 3 flagship, on the Command Deck.
- Once everyone is in group and on the ship we will /roll to see who gets to play first. Person with the highest roll is our first contestant.
- Contestant will enter the stage, which has 10 crates on it. Each of these crates has a randomized credit value.
- The contestant must first pick a crate to be theirs, which will be moved off to the side and ignored until the end.
- After this, the contestant will pick 4 crates to open, 1 at a time. Once a crate is opened, whatever value that's inside of it gets removed from the board -- which will be posted on forum and updated as we go.
- Once the contestant goes through the 4 crates, they will get an offer from the banker to buy their case. They can either accept or reject the offer by saying "deal" or "no deal".
- If contestant chooses deal, then they receive the amount of credits offered and their turn to play ends.
- If contestant chooses no deal, then the game continues. They will pick 1 more crate to reveal.
- After another crate is opened, the banker will make them another offer. Once again they can either accept or reject this offer.
- This repeats until the contestant either accepts an offer or gets down to just 2 crates left.
- If the contestant rejects every offer and reaches the end, they will get 1 final offer. If rejected, they will get to open their original crate.
- Whatever amount that's in that crate is the amount that they get.
- We will then let all the spectators /roll again to see who gets to play next.
PRIZE AMOUNTS

DAY 9: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20TH
This Russian Roll-ette game is essentially the same as the version from Halloween 2016 event, however it is now modified to be a group activity and not just 1v1 anymore.
See here for a video example.
PROCEDURE
- All participants will be invited to an ops group and will step into the boxing ring on the BBB Imp 2 flagship.
- An officer will collect bet amounts from everyone who is participating. (The 1st round will be 100k bets from each person, the 2nd round 200k bets, then 400k, and so on.)
- After ALL bets have been collected, the officer will direct everyone in group to /roll once -- just to determine the order of rolling. Whoever rolls lowest will have to take the first /roll when the game starts, whoever rolls highest will take the last /roll.
- Ops group frames will be arranged to show the rolling order. The officer will go down the list calling out names one at a time. When it is your turn, you must immediately type /roll.
- If you roll a number with zero in it -- 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 -- you lose your bet and you're out of that round. You will be removed from the ops group and ejected from the flagship immediately. (The flagship kick is only for dramatic effect, losing players are welcome to come right back and watch until the next round starts -- where they will then be able to play again.)
- We simply go down the list over and over until only 1 person is left standing. That person is the winner and they receive everyone's bet money. (Example: Group of 20 where all 20 people bet 100k each. The winner in that scenario wins 2 mil.)
- After each round we'll increase the betting amount and re-invite anyone who wishes to play.
- Spectators are more than welcome to bet on the outcomes. It's a great way to add some excitement to things!
PRIZES
How much money you can win is entirely dependent on how many people participate and how high they're willing to bet.
RULES
- All participants' bet amounts must be traded to the coordinating officer before they're allowed to proceed.
- Spectators and those not currently taking their turns need to stay out of the arena at all times.
- ALL bets must be honored. If you're watching the matches go down and making bets on the outcomes with guildies, you need to pay up right away if you lose.
- There is no limit to how many rounds you can participate in.

DAY 9: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20TH
This lottery will be run exactly the same as the Halloween 2016 one.
PROCEDURE
- The lottery revolves around the use of this random number generator. Buying 1 "ticket" will grant you 1 random number that gets entered into a masterlist of all tickets.
- On the 9th day of the 9 Days of Christmas (Tuesday, December 20th) we will use the generator to select a winning number. The 4 members with ticket numbers closest to this winning number will each win 25% of the total jackpot amount.
- The guild bank will throw in 50,000,000 credits towards the jackpot just to get things started. 100% of all tickets sales will go directly into the jackpot, increasing its size.
- More tickets sold = bigger jackpot to be won. The 4 lottery winners will equally split this amount 4 ways.
- The masterlist of all tickets sold is visible to the public. See here if you'd like to check it out.
BUYING TICKETS
- Tickets cost 200,000 credits each and can be purchased from any officer or staff member. You have 2 options for purchasing tickets:
- Check the guild list and see if any officers/staff are online. (Mafioso, Caporegime, Underboss, or Godfather ranks designate officers.) If there is one online, contact them and let them know you'd like to purchase ticket(s).
- If there are no officers or staff members available, you can send an in-game mail to the character "Sii Noo" stating the amount of tickets you wish to purchase -- with the cost of them attached to the mail.
- This is the master list of tickets. Here you can view your tickets, along with all the others.
STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS
- Member purchases ticket(s) from an officer or staff member for 200,000 credits each.
- After receiving the cost of the ticket(s), officer/staff will then immediately go to the random number generator and set the generator to put out a number between 10,000 and 100,000.
- Officer/staff will then go to the masterlist of tickets on the forum and add member's name + number(s) to the list. (ie. Siino -- 12340, 42000, 80076, etc)
- On the 9th day of the 9 Days of Christmas (Tuesday, December 20th) we'll use the number generator to select a winning number for the lottery. We will then compare this number to all of the ticket numbers and find the four closest tickets to our winning number.
- We will then announce the 4 winners. If they are present, we will trade the entire jackpot amount right then and there. If they are not present, it will be sent to them in the mail.
RULES
- All ticket sales must go through an officer or staff member. Depositing credits into guild bank and saying "hey I got this number and my creds are in gbank" will not be allowed. Transaction with an officer/staff member is required in all cases, no exceptions.
- No one is permitted to choose their own numbers. We will keep everything completely random.
- To remain eligible to win, you must have at least one character present within the guild on the night of the draw. Anyone who leaves BBB or gets permanently banned will have their tickets removed with them.
- There is no limit to the amount of tickets that can be purchased. You can buy 1 ticket or you can buy 1 million tickets, whatever you can afford.
- No discounts, loans, trades, paying later, etc. In order to get ticket for the lottery, you must personally pay the full price of 200k per ticket to an officer prior to any number being added to your name on the forum.
- Deadline for purchasing tickets is December 19th.
- Officers and staff members will not be allowed to participate.
- In the event of a tie, the win will go to the higher number. (Example: Say the winning number is 20000. Guildie-1 has 19500 and Guildie-2 has 20500. Although both people are equally close to the winning number, Guildie-2 is higher so they will win.)
![](http://i.imgur.com/O761iPa.jpg)
DAY 9: TUESDAY, DECEMBER 20TH
There will be at least 1 officer promotion at the event. Who is being promoted and what they're being promoted to will be revealed on this event night.
