To quote Irk, the host: "The mutants are getting restless again because it’s time for The Gathering of Tribes! Turn your avatar into a mutant for the day (if you’re not one already!) and join us for drums, dancing, DJs, tale telling, and of course the traditional Hoomin Hunt. This event will start around noon and run well into the evening!

12-1 Welcoming and Open Drumming - Gather and share something
about your mutant or your tribe. (RP @ Drum Circle: Second Life Maps | The Great Fissure )

1-2 DJ Doktor Aeg (@ Drum Circle: Second Life Maps | The Great Fissure )

2-3 Hoomin Hunt - We’ll catch and release a smoothskin, and then hunt
them down in a pack for sport and stew meat. (RP blood lust)

3-4 Fight Night (@ The Potato Farm: Second Life Maps | The Wastelands )

4-5 DJ Grady Echegaray (@ The Mutant Witch’s Almanac: Second Life Maps | The Wastelands )

Things are subject to change and the commands of the King of Fire, as things usually are, but it’s shaping up to be a mouthwatering good time!

Everyone is encouraged to develop a backstory or write a bio for your mutant to share with your brothers and sisters around the eternal trash fire. Mutants come from many different lands and all are welcome to introduce themselves and tell their stories. Check out the wiki for more on Mutants in the Wastelands: wiki.the-wastelands.org/...

There will be contests running all day with winners announced at the end of the night. All contests will all be judged by Irk the Mutant on creativity and inspiration. Winners will receive a special Mutant Talisman and $L1000!

Best Mutant Transformation:
Put on some mutant skin and maybe an extra appendage or two and turn your avatar into a child of The King of Fire for the day! Let your mutations run free… the best mutant outfit wins!

Best Mutant Tale:
Tell an original mutant story in 1000 words or less on the theme “Ritual Drums.” Imagination wins! Entries must be on Notecards and given to Irk by 8pm SLT

Best Mutant Recipe:
What or how or who do mutants eat? Come up with a delicious mutant recipe using official WL: Items, or food stuffs that makes sense in the Wastelands. Please refrain from naming specific smoothskins in the ingredients list. Entries must be on Notecards and given to Irk by 8pm SLT.
