Contests, Quests and Adventures

It. Is. Time. The year has rolled around once more and it is time to think about what everyone has done over the past year and who deserves special merit in certain categories. I asked around previously if anyone wanted to run these awards as there have been timing issues the previous couple of years (primarily down to myself). Unfortunately only the one person stepped forward to offer their services, however because of a few different factors (such as time scale) they have now opted to not run it this year, but may in the future. They have also opted not to assist in running this - as a result I am looking for two more people to aid the running of the awards as neces…

Hello! As per the rules, Captain Jubaris brings word! A topic that will list members of my team, I may update it until the end of the day slightly. First, I have to mention my battle-hardened lieutenant, born-winner, slayer of torch-wielding Necros, defiler of torch-wielding Necro-friends, glorious knight... Jubarilisimus Maximus Clock Master! Clockie got mentioned first because of his practical role on the field, but here go the rest of brave Jubarites in no particular order, for it is hard to put a comparative hierarchy among individual of such spiritual size: Junior Handy Pockets Nimrodel Nadrolski Eagle Eye Maebius Ungod Aethon Klawdees Aniwaya S…

As requested, here is our team: Aeoshattr Azull Eara Meraia ignnus JadenDew lashtal Lintara Neno Veliki *Syrian* May add more over the next short period of time.

This year I have been talking with the helper elves about getting the tree put up in MD. They apparently require more coin this year and after a lot of discussions I have managed to get them to put up our tree again and, in addition, do a new job. They will put up the tree and also produce the presents. There is some concern that the presents they obtain are... "borrowed" so if anyone finds a present with a name that isnt their own, I might need to talk to them... Hopefully no person finds that they have lost some creature or other due to the elves "recycling". This year they have agreed to read your letters and try to make the presents under the tree a little mo…

Hey Guys! While this is not an entire RICA quest, It’s a prologue of sorts to the next one named Pysanka. This was supposed to be released for Christmas but due to unforseen circumstances, it couldnt be :P So here it is.

The second TC will run over 4 days, probably over the friday, sat, sun, mon period. Does anyone have any ideas on when is good for them?

So, I have designed a new quest. This SHOULD melt your brain a little and also make your vision weak. I intend for this quest to haunt your nights until you solve it. How? You need to solve 2 puzzles: one is a crossword and the other is "find the words". For each word you find in both puzzles, you get 1 point. In total you'll be able to get 133 point. But there is a bonus round: if you manage to decipher it, you'll get 25 bonus points. But for this one you MUST complete it fully as there is no way to split the points. So in total you can get 158 points. 1) Crosswords: you will find both MD characters as well as Christmas ones described by their t…

The Nightmare before Murmas A little horror is always the best just before celebrations of joy. For this we call up upon the spirits of those gone and past. Your nightmare, should you take it, will involve creating a story about a character from MDs past. Then you must put them in an nightmare enviroment, either for you or them. The story must have a complete plot as well as a ending that results in someone/all death. Requirements: The story must contain at least 300 words The main character must be a MD player who no longer plays The story must be told in 3rd person, like story tellers at Christmas time By the end of the story at least one character in the tale must …

Merry Murmas, people of MD! With the holiday season upon us, I have a quest to challenge you all with. In true Archivist fashion, this is going to be one about MD's past and present, with a healthy dose of creativity. This quest comes in two parts, and each will be scored and rewarded separately. You do not have to participate in both parts - if only one part appeals to you, feel free to only do one part! Deadline for entries is 10th of January. Entries should be sent via forum PM only (if sent through other means they will be disqualified). Entries will eventually be made public (if you do not wish people to know which entry is yours that is fine). The Old …

This quest is a slightly modified version off WittyLeWatt and Ungod's "A deranged parade". So thank you to them both for the idea! What is it? For this quest you will choose from a predetermined list of characters as to whom you wish to play as. Once chosen you will then have to roleplay as that character for the duration of the quest. Each of the characters will say/RP something, in a previously given order, until they create a story. The scene will be: Family Meal The Twist: 'Wildcards' will be given at random before each dinner. These wildcards will vary in ability, from allowing you to swap characters with another to causing a player to miss a go (or even…

Unless you've been living under a rock lately, you'll know the Murmas preparations have begun! It's time to decorate the tree! Wait, but what about the things that DO live under rocks?! They need to know too! Go pick up the rocks at the GoE and call out "Murmas Time", to start! Each critter that hides under there will give you a small task to complete, then ask that you check the next area, somewhere in the realm, and the Key words to use. Most of the time, you'll be using the easy-to-remember phrase "Murmas Time". Along each step, you'll be "decorating" Awiiya, via badly photoshopped clipart onto a snapshot of the Awiiya's Way scene, to bring some colour a…

Its Christmas again and for many its a time of gifts and celebration, but the childish luster of Christmas gets lost to many over the years, people grow old and forget what it was like to be a child at Christmas, and this just wont do! not at all. To Do: Draw an MD scene with those you consider to be your MD family (land friends, alliance, anyone that you feel the closest to, even your pet creatures!) and write Santa a letter telling him about the picture that you drew. but channel your inner child again and draw it in the most child like way that you can think of! Use crayon, draw big, scribble to your hearts content! Go wild, go crazy, but most of all, have fun, and b…

As some of you may know, I have been growing Bushies whenever I can. Lately, however, my obsession for them has become quite...worrying. All I can dream and think of are Bushies; bushy pie, bushy people, bushy babies, bushies, bushies, bushies! And so, instead of denying my obsession, I have chosen to embrace it and even share it with you all, giving you all the chance to become just as obsessed as I am! Kind, aren't I? Anyway, I digress. Below are the quests that will form this "competition". Each quest will have their own rewards, judging and rules. They will be staggered, as to when they become "active", and a new post (in this topic) will be created to…

This is a continuation of the long lost series,The Mad Scientist. And just in time for Christmas! What devilish schemes is the old man plotting this time? Wait and see! This is an adventure/puzzle race quest involving lot of running and thinking, and will start on the 19th --- Saturday night (between 22:00-24:00 ST, I cannot guarantee a time due to RL complications). Pro tip: prepare tea/pickles/cake! Now the interesting part of this quest is that you can do it alone or work together. However, the rewards are individual and will be based on who completes the quest first... which means that if you work together, you might risk and give away a winning spot …

Greetings everybody! With all the Christmas (or Murmas) preparations going on and clickie quests going active, even the most seasoned adventurer would start feeling peckish. And what snack fits the season better than some freshly baked cookies. Oh, but before you go bake another batch, here is a contest to make it more fun: bake an MD themed cookie! It can be anything from a creature to a character to a scene object. The rules are: • only one cookie photo can be submitted per participant, posted in this topic updated: two photos of the cookie are required per participant: one of the whole cookie and one of the broken cookie (for validating that it is a real cookie)…

It's getting colder and colder by the day, and the smell of winter is in the air - yet this time, it smells dry, sharp. Not like in other times, it doesn't have the rich tang of mulled wine, ginger, cookies and candy canes... "It is so cold..."1 you must think, and you are correct. Something must be done... Certainly if the cold continues, not even the mightiest Reindrachs will be able to carry Santa all the way to the tree in time for Murmas. You must bring warmth. For the sake of... Murmas of course, why else would want you to warm up the air?... The time has been decided: gather at the Gazebo of Equilibrium on the 22nd of December, 22:00 ST. The shortest Day a…

As many of you are aware...and regularly remind me...the alliance Defenders of Bob lacks an icon. So following some artistic interest in game, my own laziness, and your collaborative pestering over the years... I thought I'd up the ante. Bare in mind this doesn't mean the icon will be used, but I have faith your awesome skills may well mean one will be. Quest Task: Create an alliance icon for the Defenders of Bob. Details: The icon must be complete. That means it has to be to the relevant specifications required to immediately be uploaded without need of any editing by higher powers. 140x140px, .gif, in or around 3kb It must be a hand-drawn origina…

You are very cordially invited to the riddle party! I'll prepare 20(ish) riddles for the party, maybe add some easy ones ad-hoc, and you're all invited to solve them, and then present your own if you feel like! The party starts at 21:00(ish) on 19th of december (which is next saturday). Feel free to start without me if i don't make it on time :)) I've got no rewards planned, which means that we're doing this just for fun and games, but i'd still be delighted to find some riddle-friends :) Also, since it's christmas and all, i might hand out goodies if somebody solves a lot ;) See you there! :D Edit: By there, i mean GoE.
