19.01.2012GM Trivia Event
The Castle Empire Team is happy to announce that we will be holding ongoing GM Trivia. This trivia event will occur every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday during the next two months!
The trivia questions will have no theme and may cover, well, anything! In any case, the first five people to answer each question will each receive 25 Gems! With 3-5 questions being asked on each of these days, you have some serious Gem-winning potential, so be sure to come online and join in the trivia fun!
