A Night of Six Winners At Cutlass

 

 

Saturday February 18 at Club Cutlass started out interesting enough. There had been a theme change to "Furries and Scalies," which suited the dragon crowd with DJ Geerkil just fine. There were the usual bad jokes and puns, along with Geerkil playing "Baby Shark" claiming it had been requested. Then eventually it was time to vote for the best in theme, with 1000L on both the male and female boards. And then the winners were announced. 

[19:55] Kylee Gracemount: Good Luck All !

The initial response was Zorro going "Thanks all" to his win and Kyle Gracemount saying, "Thank You for the Music, the Hosting, and the Venue." Then Snowy HunniBunni Lefavre (Skylark Lefavre), the club manager that night, noticed the number of winners, "Wow! Like Oh - Emm - Eff - Gee!  Lots of winners." She then thought about adding the names of the six contest winners on the bottom of the board, "I hope it fits." And thankfully they did, "Whew! It all fit!"

Nights with so many winners at Club Cutlass are rare, but they do happen. Two years ago in February 2021, there were two instances of seven winners (here) and (here).

Rare Night: Seven Winners At Cutlass

 *

Friday March 4 was the Pirate party at Club Cutlass. When the Sunweaver community was in it's early days, Club Cutlass started out as a pirate-themed club, hence the name. While it's taken many forms over the years, the name never changed.

And this night, the hearties partied, in various pirate outfits. This included a mouse buccaneer - "I be a pie rat.". 

Finally came voting time, and we were to choose the best in theme. On the Men's board, there was a tie between two guys: Zorro Wuramunga and Bixyl Shuftan (myself). But on the women's board, there was a surprise! While there are occasional three-way ties, this time it was a five-way tie! Kylee Gracemount, Mattie Carlton (Mattie Foxpaws), Liska da'Lantros (LiskaDaLantros Resident), Snowy AngelBun Lefavre (Skylark Lefavre), and Ginger (Dusk Griswold). So it was a night of seven winners!

While amazing, the night wasn't the first time a club event had so many winners. In February 2021, there was another. Still, it was a night to remember. And the following night, we found Jenni couldn't squeeze all the names on the board.

The Night With Seven Winners At Cutlass

 
By Bixyl Shuftan

Contests at clubs occasionally have ties. For those clubs with two sets of entry boards for two winners, one for the guys and one for the girls, ties on both for one event are rare but they do happen. But an event that had seven winners, well, that would be one for the books. Such an event happened a few nights ago on Wednesday February 3 at Club Cutlass.

This particular night was a break from Cutlass tradition. Unless there's a holiday, Wednesday contests are usually "Alphabet Nights" in which the contest is to the best in something starting with the letter (or letters) of the night. But this time the theme was "Favorites." In which people were asked to show up in their favorite avatars, which in practice meant people usually showing up in their usual ones.

Time to fire up another party week. get on your favorite AV;s and outfits and come out to party as I play some of my favorite tunes. Doors open at 6 PM.

The event had the usual joking around and other conversation at Cutlass, mixed with a little talk about the upcoming Relay season. Eventually it was time to vote. And when the results were totaled ...

Seven winners, five for the women, two for the men. Only one other contest in memory got close to this, "There has been one other 5 way I recall, but it was a holiday party."

Jenni Greenfield, the Cutlass manager, usually puts the contest winners at the bottom of the event board. Someone commented of the five-way, "That must have stretched you out like a Thanksgiving turkey." But this time, Jenni simply entered "Lots." That got a couple snickers, "I was wondering how she would get it all to fit." Later on, Jenni would get all seven winners on by shortening the names.

No telling how many others took a picture of the board that night. But I did, and here's my documentation of a night at my community's main club that will be remembered for some time to come.
