Dearest Subjects

I write to you with great mirth, from the kingdom of Shoe-baa. I may be a goat in a wig, but until the actual Queen of Sheeba returns you'll have to make do with me. If you take exception to a goat in a wig, or a man in a dress, you can take that up with Chewett, as this quest is all his fault. Also, if you do take exception to either of those things you're immediately banned from the quest. I can't be wasting good sequinned dresses on grumpy prejudiced participants.

Between now and new year I will randomly be online. I will randomly put a wig on. If my wig is on, I will make demands of you.

• If you are in attendance and bow to the Queen, you get one point (only 1 per instance of the Queen appearing, you won't get multiple points for multiple bows).
• If you take part in a royal demand, you get one point.
• If, as part of the demand, you come 1st you get 3 points, 2nd 2 and 3rd 1. Unfortunately the decision on these MAY be subjective due to the low playerbase at the moment. However, if anyone wishes to play the part of an honorable scribe and help me with this, please contact me. In festive spirit, I shall reward you 5 silver coins for your services to the Queen. Ungod has added to the scribe's fee, and so if a scribe comes forwards they will now earn 10SC & a mirror rit stone.
• If you bow to Z and he is not wearing the wig (ie: he is not the Queen) then you lose a point. This includes points at which he may remove the wig to scratch his head, so pay attention before you bow, or check with others who have been there longer then you.
• If you call Z (ie: no wig) the Queen of Shoe-baa you lose a point.
• If you call the Queen of Shoe-baa the Queen of Sheeba you lose a point.
• If, when addressing the Queen, you fail to address her as either 'your honorable majesty' or 'Queen of Shoe-baa'....you lose a point - every time. That includes responding to her.

Demands will vary considerably.

My initial demand is for you to make a snowman out of paper. His/her face/arms/hat etc can be made from anything you like, but the 'snow' should be paper. You will get 5 points for taking part. An additional 5 points will be given if you put your snowman into a diarama you made yourself OR create a 3 panel story using your snowman and some action figures and a series of pictures. There will then also be the 3,2,1 points as described in the bullets above. Pictures should be posted on this thread - include your playername in handwriting within the image.

Any questions either post here or PM me.

Some people say that Eon
Should wear some high vis Neon
So that his victims have a chance
To write their obituary in advance

At the pub on a Sunday Mr Sunfire
Has drinking habits quite utterly dire
By drinking vodka he belches flames
Setting fire to people's wigs is all fun and games

She hates the Tree
So I put some glue on her shoe
For when she steps in poo

There is a system for inner magic already...are you saying you want a mechanical system?

In other news - I never got off this train, I'm pro spell-doc.

klawdees wrote this in honor of md's birthday and asked me to post it on the forum.

spirit of the madman

he was tempted to keep on walking
or maybe he actually did
and sank down into the road
that silences life and death

and further into the fiery earth
where the spirits draw their peace
where they don’t care for names
where fact is just a disease

lungs drinking thirsty the dust
keeping path, he ignores his distrust
and perceives neither comfort nor wrath

seeing only silence
feeling it master his form
following only his path
awaiting only his birth

passing through time that isn’t time
at a crossroads that is endless

I agree with you Pip.

I've reported this multiple times here:

I might also add that I had lots of candy, which has now all disappeared and for which no garbage appeared. Basically, you stole my candy Chew also, as a side note, since that garbage/degrading fix was done, my toy chest hasnt spawned any candy (but that may be a coincidence)

Z

 

*where Ive written candy, read candy bar.

So it shall be. Thank you Faceless for being so altruistic.

All prizes now distributed (Aethon will get the Elu to you Lin)

Thanks for taking part all. Thread can be closed.

Z

Love the face on the hell hound.

Sure, if it takes your fancy to hook me up with it, by all means! I especially like the puking skull.

Z

Thanks all for taking part in this.

Both myself and the other judge tied Faceless and Lintara for first place. Have either of you already received an Elu for a halloween quest?

Dst comes in third.

Well done all.

Adventuring Award
dst - takes part in most things, both participant and designer. 

Best Beautification

Gonzalo - avatars, alliance logos, general artistic fancy.

Champion Fighter
Sunfire - his willingness and skill in helping others progress in this area defines this for me.

Fossil of the year
Kiley - still around, still chirping away making everyone laugh and keeping spirits up.

Helper of the Year
Mallos - Not so visible to most, but works very hard at trying to support people and the game in whatever way he can.

Most Addicted
MaGoHi - Though his will declines, his presence does not.

Most Improved Player

Klawdees - Really got into asking questions this year, and gave some great insights too.

Most Popular
Lintara - who doesn't know Lin? One must be blind, deaf and dumb not to surely.

Outstanding Service to MD
Lintara - A bright light continually striving to bring brightness and activity, frankly her perseverance is more than commendable.

Pre-eminent Role Player
Lashtal - continues to display his morbid fascination with apt skill and curiosity.

Prime Quest
Ungod - Too many to mention. If one must be named, then the one with the dude stuck in the lake.

Nobody has made any further contact or come to compete so I'm going to start the judging process.

Z

This still isnt working as it should.

Z

Ok, Faceless do you and your team still want to finish their quest or have you no time also?

Z

We seem to be having some planning difficulties with finishing this. I'll be on and off this evening and weekend. If you catch me, I'll run your quest, if not, I'm going to have to put a time limit on, otherwise I think this may end up still going by xmas...

Z

Lintara - Close to Finishing

Faceless - Has started, but far from finishing.

Dst - unstarted.

Let me know if/when you wish to continue/start. (Im not around Tues or Thurs)

Z

Ok, we'll set it so 22:30ST on Monday, and move it if we need to - that way you might all be able to play at once. Come see Z then.

If you're going to show up...I would strongly urge you to provide the names and skills at least 2 hours in advance of attending though....because if you don't...you can still play...but there might be consequences. 

If you can't make it, just let me know and I'll sort a date with you.

Z

Thanks @Faceless

@dst - Ideally, they will be with you when you come to the in game event. However, they don't actually need to be there, you can use their skills for them instead - the down side is, you'll be relying only on your knowledge of their skills and when/how to use them, rather than the innate knowledge someone who holds those skills has. You can also send one of them instead of yourself if you want to.

As a side note - I have had some time issues myself recently, so apologies for the lateness of this request from me. It may mean the event runs after Halloween...unless you guys can do tomorrow or Monday night.

Z

For part 3, Lin, F and Dst, you need to pick two people who agree to help you.

Please post your associates names here, along with a list of 5 key skills each of you have (they should be character skills, for example, Z might have ability to make people sleepy, plant healing, fast running, grumpyness and alcohol tolerance)

Z

My beautiful Bob!! I see you again!!!

Thanks Dst & No one!

Z

He looks rather large. He was probably terrified of that mock spider of yours twice his size!

Can I ask that anyone wishing to take part in part 3 have their submissions in by the end of this Sunday.

Z

Bravo! An excellent harvest of Spider Minions...that first one is particularly weird, I've never seen one of those!

Faceless has now revealed Part 2 - Capture an image of a real spider on your web!

I shall be in touch/post regarding part 3 nearer the time...

Z

I'm mildly concerned that you have sent this back from the future...you'll only cause your future self to be denied quest entry to wherever this has come from you know....

Z

This quest is built of 3 parts. The first person to complete part 1 will cause the reveal of part 2 to everyone when/if they complete part 2. Same with part 3.

Part 1: Build a spider web.

Part 2 revealed by Faceless: Capture an image of a real spider on your web.

You can build it out of any materials you like. No drawings, only builds.

Please take and post a photo of your spider web and ensure there is a piece of paper in the image with your MD name and the date on it.

Prizes depend on how you play.

Part 3 is a live event and will be held sometime from the 28th of October. If nobody reaches part 3 by then...that part won't happen.
