Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!

Saddle up everyone, you’re about to get a history lesson!
Some of you may know but more still do not, but Cinco de Mayo is a special day for people of Mexican descent. Now some people think that this is a celebration of Mexican independence, in all actuality it is not.

Cinco de Mayo is a celebration of a very special victory during the Franco-Mexican war back in 1862.

6,000 well-fortified and highly trained French soldiers set out to attack the small town of Puebla de Los Angeles. 2,000 of the Mexican people, most of whom were unskilled in the arts of advanced combat, banded together to defend the town. On May 5th 1862 the battle began. From daybreak to dusk both sides fought a fierce battle and at the end of that day the French were forced to retreat.

Now though this battle was not strategically important to the overall war effort, it became a rallying cry and a testament to the dedication and strength of the Mexican people. Today, we hold Cinco de Mayo as a celebration of Mexican culture and heritage. And we’ve decided to have a little contest to celebrate!

The rules are simple, post up screenshots of you and your friends celebrating Cinco de Mayo in game! Make sure that they’re appropriate of course, but we’ll let you get as creative as you’d like with this one! On Monday, we’ll close our forum thread and pick five winners! Those lucky five will walk away with some pretty cool and fun prizes!

The Rules:
1. Post screenshots of you and your friends in game celebrating Cinco de Mayo
2. Screenshots will be judged on creativity (photoshop is okay)
3. All screenshots must be no more than a PG-13 (keep it clean people)
4. You may enter more than once but you can only win once
5. Forum Post closes at 7pm PDT on 5/9/16

The Loot:
Two grand prize winnars will walk away with: female --Exiled Dark Diva Set (permanent) ; Male--Refined Gentleman Set（permanent)
Three runners up will receive: Pet Stalker Hunter Utuz

The rewards will be sent during an upcoming maintenance

Can’t wait to see what everyone comes up with! Enjoy the festivities!

    @thenamesdomino I also wanted to know, IF by any chance I win, can my wife Dhalie - Tideswell get the reward instead of me? That would be amazing. Thanks in advance ^^
