Don't want to create that second or third (or fourth, or fifth...) account, but want something fun to do with other KoL players? Look no further than the Contests Forum (http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=42), where you can find all manner of games and contests to keep you occupied until rollover and beyond. Some are KoL themed, some are not, and many are mafia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mafia_%28party_game%29) or mafia-style games. Beyond mafia, however, there are plenty of other types of contests: art and writing contests, trivia contests, the occasional cooking contest, and the ever-popular ascension contest. So if you're bored and looking for things to do, head over to the KoL Forums and visit the Contests Forum (http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=42)! text/html 2009-11-11T18:15:10+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1860/43/ Jick announced yesterday that several new items would be available in Mr. Store, such as a new shirt, stickers, and best of all, Crimbo cards! Beautifully designed items are now available for your patronage, and the proceeds go to the game--Why wouldn't you pick something up? text/html 2009-11-07T22:50:55+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1857/43/ Coldfront is searching for a writers! We are looking for people that are very familiar with the KoL community. People that have contributed to both the official KoL forums and our own KoLWiki. People that are in-touch! We're also willing to compensate these writers to the tune of a Mr. Accessory or two (not both to the same person!) for their writing talent. How do I get involved? I want a Mr. Accessory! you may cry. The process is simple. On the sidebar, click Submit News. Write an article, and submit it. Our News Staff will review the article and place it on our main page. At the end of the month, those who have substantially contributed to our news will be awarded a Mr. Accessory! It's that simple! Feel free to cover everything from community affairs to official game updates. So what are you waiting for? Jump in, get writing, and get paid! text/html 2009-11-06T22:55:39+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1856/43/ This month's offering from Mr. Store is a tasty treat for all your familiar friends. The Moveable Feast (thekolwiki/index.php/Moveable_feast), when equipped, not only adds the standard +5 to familiar weight, but also causes your familiar to occasionally do some combat damage. But wait--there's even more! You can feed your familiar a feast from the table, buffing him or her for an additional 10 pounds. The buff lasts for 20 turns, and can only be cast on a familiar once a day, but it can be cast on five different familiars each day. Beware though, that the buff is removed after rollover. Click on the link above for more details on this Thanksgiving (unless you're Canadian) themed offering, or go here (http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/showthread.php?t=177790) for the official forum discussion. text/html 2009-10-27T16:37:18+01:00 http://kol.coldfront.net http://kol.coldfront.net/index.php/content/view/1855/43/ Halloween festivities have arrived early to the Kingdom this year. Following directly on the heels of Arrrbor Day (thekolwiki/index.php/Arrrbor_Day)--and in the same location as The Arrrboretum (thekolwiki/index.php/The_Arrrboretum)--is The Shivering Timbers (thekolwiki/index.php/The_Shivering_Timbers). I'll not give away any spoilers, other than to say that there's a new outfit to be had, some nifty consumables, and a spooooky item (thekolwiki/index.php/Underworld_trunk) that might just become usable in a few days... For those not afraid of spoilers, the forum discussion thread can be found here (http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com:8080/vb/showthread.php?t=177672), and the appropriate Wiki pages are linked above.
