In celebration of Craftymatt13OH's birthday a few days ago, SwiftlegacyTG came to me wanting to host a surprise fishing tournament. The surprise tourney will be in about 45 minutes. 9 PM BST and will be hosted in Pembrookeshire.

Happy Birthday Mrs. Crafty!

On another note. I won 2nd place at the fishing tourney which was a prize of 10k. Shortly after a 10k partition prize was announced and handed out to the players excluding myself and first place winner Sir_andrew. There after when asked about this it was disclaimed that winners did not receive a participation prize. So what was the point of the winning prizes? You might as well have had no prizes and just gave everyone 10k. My suggestion, don't hand out participation prizes if not ALL PARTICIPANTS get said prize.

I did not decide on the prizes given to the winners and since there were no participation fishes I was happy to give out some money to the players who did not win. 10K was just a nice round number. It's not about the money or who gets what place, it's about having fun as a community and doing things together. It's not fair for the winners to double their prize money essentially because they participated. If you had gotten both you would have gotten 25K, which defeats the purpose of setting a prize amount.

Perhaps I should clarify, it wasn't exactly a participation prize, it was just a prize for celebrating mama OH's birthday and being interested on such short notice. It was a prize from myself to those who don't get a chance to win usually.
