I've been thinking...
A Prize is needed — not stinking money, ready to turn even close people against each other and inject the pus of mercantilism into the bright knightly (lads') Heroic atmosphere, and, perhaps even not an official "blessing" in the form of a badge under the avatar (although that wouldn't hurt either, possibly), not a hastily bought postcard or a trinket from a Chinese shop, but precisely a Prize, a handmade Prize, the possession of which will fill the soul and body with warmth. It should instill tenderness and awe in the stern souls of warriors. The struggle for It will by definition be fair and noble. No thought of anything base or dishonest, of cheating, will arise in one's mind...
Such a Prize, the very idea of fighting for It — will unite our Heroic Community more strongly, regardless of the resource, creating comfort and positivity. And, even if tensions and frictions arise in the heat of battle, every knight-participant will remember that at that moment a beautiful Lady is sitting in a warm room, her legs wrapped in a blanket, knitting the Prize with care and love, and sometimes smiling mysteriously at something — engrossed in reading the tournament thread. And it would be unpleasant and distressing for our Lady if, heaven forbid, bloodlust suddenly clouds one's eyes and closes the path to honor and nobility.
And the Prize will go to the most deserving of the deserving.
So, friends — this prize is a scarf knitted personally by our TaKo; I am sure it will be as beautiful as She Who knitted it!
P.S.
Of course, it's a somewhat naive and pompous post. But!
I'm already crying right now because I won't be participating in this tournament and don't have even the slightest hope of winning the Prize. But I believe in you, Friends)
