Competitions

Competitions are usually single-player / individual or alliance-wide special events with a timed duration where players can compete each other in some form (individual, added points as alliance or added points across all players on server), to gain points in a ranking system which grants bonuses at the end of the competition and/or to achieve a set of intermediary stages for immediate bonuses (usually received via in-game message).
