RuneScape:Wiki Post/Editorials/Spring Wikifest

Spring Wikifest a blooming success
The Spring Wikifest got off to an early start on Saturday, 18 April, as round 13:00 GMT, those in the R S Wikia cc headed over to Castle Wars for a few matches. The Zamorak team won the first round, with Saradomin taking the second. Doucher4000 took credit for both wins, noting that he was on Zammy when it won and switched to Sara for its win.

Next, the group sailed over to the Void Knight Outpost for a few rounds of Pest Control. Boarding the novice boat, the festivalers (festivarians?) successfully defended the Void Knight in each game.

Then off to the Fishing Trawler, Nacho Novo9 expertly directed the fishing wikians on their fishing trip. The group then played the minigame Stealing Creation.

The festival officially kicked off at 20:00 GMT with the costume competition at the Jolly Boar Inn. With dozens of oddly dressed wikians crowded into the bar, Bluesonic43, Dtm142, and Frede173 captured the judges eye for best dressed.

After a quick trip to the bank and not as much costume changing as you might think, the group formed a congo line and, lead by Doucher4000, walked out to the Clan Wars Challenge Hall. Splitting its time between the safe free-for-all portal and the safe clan-wars portal, group members bashed each other for the rest of the hour. C Teng attempted to lure wikians into the dangerous ffa portal, but only Nacho was brave enough to take up the challenge.

Forming another train, Doucher4000 then led the battered but cheerful group on a short tour of the Wildy, ending in Edgeville and a raid on the Stronghold of Security. The wikians flooded the stronghold floors, quickly clearing the rooms of monsters. (I witnessed only one wikian death, and his grave was quickly blessed.)

While the group cleaned up the stronghold, Jediadam4 snuck over to Varrock and announced it was time for hide and seek. He was quickly found, and many barely had time to reach Varrock before the game was over.

Following the brief game of hide-and-seek, the group raided Falador, confusing poor Fally villagers as much as themselves.

A great time was had by all. All events were well attended, ranging from 12 or so folks playing Pest Control to dozens participating in the costume contest.
