A soft gobbling sound in the distance is growing louder; this can mean only one thing - the world is poised to once again be invaded by pesky yet delicious turkeys! We have a few days' advance notice, so begin your holiday planning now. What weapon(s) will you use to defend the land against the feathered menace? Will you eat all the yummy meat yourself or share with your friends and neighbours? Is there any truth to the rumour that the vicious leader of the invasion, under guise of a normal average turkey, will lead the final charge itself? And who among you will kill the most of these creatures and forever be remembered as the most glorious and celebrated hunter of turkeys? (until next year) [For most timezones, the Thanksgiving reboot will begin sometime Wednesday and end 49ish hours later on Friday. Your days may vary if you live somewhere upside down. Please use the 'time' command to estimate your local times of reboots.]

The turkey hunt has ended!
47 players participated in the hunt, picking off the birds one at a time as they fluttered around the world. Near the end of the reboot, the standings were:
1) Levek, 137 turkeys killed 2) Winter, 99 3) Everything, 49 4) Arrikhan, 33 5) Alibi, 29 6) Dahlia, 23 7) Dreamweaver, 21 8) Whitehand, 19 9) Morghan, 17 10) Orifice, 16
The slaughter of these 443 birds was not unnoticed, and as Armageddon foretold the end of the world, there was a sudden invasion on a much larger scale. A fowl angry flock swept over the land, their leaders hidden among them. You, our players, stood your ground and bravely turned these terrible turkeys into palatable poultry by the dozens!
By the end of the reboot, turkeys had been killed in shocking numbers, leaving the post-invasion standings at:
1) Eco, 377 turkeys killed 2) Levek, 293 3) Arrikhan, 209 4) Arachnid, 147 5) Neff, 136 6) Everything, 128 7) Orifice, 126 8) Dahlia, 112 9) Winter, 99 10) Raederle, 82
And those leaders hidden in the flock? Arachnid killed two of them. Everything chased down and killed another.
Unfortunately, one escaped the carnage and was still alive at the end of the reboot. My sources inform me he is on his way back to... wherever turkeys come from, bringing with him knowledge of our land and defenses, and will spend the months ahead training new hatchlings for the next invasion.
You have been warned.
Er... I mean, Happy Thanksgiving! Luthien
PS, in my initial post-reboot shout, I indicated 48 players had participated in the hunt. On closer review of the battle, it seems this was not correct. The 48th hunter was... a turkey. Any information about the courageous actions of this bird, who fought on our behalf today, is appreciated.

turkeyyyyyyyyyys!
The sky is falling! No, wait. That’s not a piece of sky. It’s a delicious wild turkey!
Yes, the feathered menace is upon us again[1] and now is your chance to prove yourself the greatest turkey hunter on Oerthe!
Who will take the lead this year? Will the birds claim any kills for their side? Can anyone actually eat that much turkey meat?
The next 49ish hours will decide!
[1] as of next reboot, in about 2 hours from this posting
