My friends, I bring you great news! That dark, impenetrable cloud which has hovered over our land the past few days does not bring the end of the world. We have studied it day and night, using the strongest magic and the best telescope the monk guild has, and I can now report with confidence that it is, in fact, not a cloud.
It is... turkeys.
Prepare yourselves, they are almost upon us!
Last time these foul fowl tried to take our towns, 50 players conspired to convert a total of 1026 wild turkeys into tasty carcasses. Turkey hunting typically consists of both a marathon (total killed over many hours of hunting, leading up to but not including the final rush) and a manic final sprint (massive invasion shortly before the hunt ends).
Last year's top 'marathon' turkey hunter was Dudemeister (105 killed). The top 'sprinter' was Otlotl, who had 86 kills logged before the final feathered flurry, and 397 afterwards.
This year, the universe has arranged for a reboot to occur in the midst of the traditional Day of Turkeys, so the hunt will last two reboots and begins about 14 hours after this posting.
I expect kill totals bordering on the absurd! Top hunters are eligible for fabulous prizes!

It's over! The world is once again free from our fierce and feathery fowl foes! Much thanks to the 68 fearless players who together killed a final total of 1751 wild turkeys over two full reboots!
Top ten before the final big invasion: 1) Levon, 389 turkeys killed 2) Sjor, 66 3) Sixclaw, 64 4) Holeshebang, 51 5) Oark, 45 6) Dreamweaver, 41 7) Striga, 37 8) Pandora, 31 9) Calcium, 29 10) Hanta, 28
And after all the feathers settled from the final moments of madness:
1) Levon, 389 2) Dreamweaver, 144 3) Calcium, 137 4) Sjor, 135 5) Neff, 115 6) Levek, 98 7) Napper, 66 8) Sixclaw, 64 9) Psychedelic, 52 10) Holeshebang, 51
Psychedelic found one of the leaders of the turkey horde hidden among them, and succeeded in killing it before time ran out. Another escaped entirely unscathed, commanding the feathered fighting force from the surprising safety of Zhamarr. An unnamed source confirms the turkey has returned to its mysterious homeland to begin planning for next year's invasion.
Thanks for playing!
