EE I'm not 100% sure what you are asking for with this quest and the requirements about photos, signs etc, so can you let me know if I need to add anything to this, ta. Z

1 x anniversary aramour added to third place! Z

1 x anniversary aramour added for the most horrific blood curdling weapon. Does it make us want to puke? great! Z

1 x anniversary aramour added for the submission with the best soundtrack - sing it like rhaegar, use a tambourine, get your guitar out, beat box, use some pots and pans and drum it out! Z

The angien that was going to be awarded in the prize pack is now TAINTED! 1 x anniversary aramour added to the 3rd prize spot! Z

Here it comes people...the back curtain operators have spoken. Bye bye Rusty, hello Morph! Third prize is now a Morph! ...and for all you aramour lovers, here's a new addition you'll like, 1 x anniversary aramour to go to the funniest submission! Z

1 x anniversary aramour added to go to the worst submission. That's right, even the most terrible ineffective piece of junk you can build will win you a prize! Don't forget, a fort isn't hard to build. You probably did it as a kid with sofa cushions or a bed sheet! Get your brain back into kid mode! and if you don't want to show your face and have no mates willing to hide in your mystic fort of wonderment? Wear a mask! Z

1 x Anniversary Aramour to go to the first submission made. That's right, be the initial submission and you win the aramour! Z

I presume the hand is for authenticity purposes? Hopefully my scribblings sort that :) - Z

That should have been a + vote, sorry Lani, on phone & the buttons shifted -_-" - i love it, totally awesome! Z

How does that fit with the concept? You consider it more like sucking the knowledge out of yourself rather than putting it into something actively? Z

Yea you can, so long as its carved Z

Quest: Be the Hero you know you can be! Task: Combine a fort and an aramour armour submission. Either yourself, or in a pair, create a film telling the story of an attack on the fort and how the aramour defended it. Can be a moving picture or a series of still images turned into a film Must have a prologue describing how the battle came to take place Must have a soundtrack Optionally can have the story in text in the film Can be as ridiculous or serious as you like Must have an attacker, (Examples: a broom stick designed to look like a dragon, or a clan of teddy bears, or a foot with a face drawn on it...) You can use any image manipulation software you like Must contain your fort and your aramour wearing person as the main figures [spoiler] Here is a helpful example of how I would do it in a pair: You build your cardboard aramour armour and take your pics and submit. I build my fort, take my pics and submit. I then contact you on a messenger service and we discuss the 'story' we both have a broom stick. So we agree to build some wings and a dragon head to put on the broom stick. The images won't be exactly the same, but the idea will be there. We decide the dragon will attack my fort, and you will protect the fort I take a photo of my fort looking all nice, then some of the broom stick dragon appearing and trying to set it on fire. I photoshop/clipart/paint edit the photo so there are flames and stuff. You take a photo of you running in the same type of area as my fort (eg the living room or the woods or whatever it is ive made my fort in), then a photo of you looking shocked, then one looking angry, then one where you draw a sword. I take some photos of my dragon getting all angry and the fort being destroyed You take some photos with your broom stick dragon of a fight scene. Its in a tree and you are underneath with your sword, or its hiding in a cupboard and you are ready to pounce on it, or it has your arm in its mouth We then might edit the photos to add the fort in the background of some of your pictures, and sometimes a bit on fire, and we add shine to your sword and armour. We then put the images in sequence to tell a story, put it into windows movie maker and add a soundtrack and maybe a text story to it. [/spoiler] Judges: Z & Blackshade Rider Judged on: Amusement, stylisation, storyline, creativity Rewards: 1 x anni aramour for funniest submission 1st: WP\ Darkling ( if a team wins first place then both get the same. but it is their choice which one they want of the two) 2nd: as above, whatever is left 3rd: Rusty Morph Submissions: Videos sent to myself and Blackshade Rider via forum PM. Great reveal to be carried out on the final day of MD Birthday at beserkers puzzle, sometime after 15:00st where winners will be announced.

:)) nice idea Z

I'm sure I don't speak for myself here when I say that management of things like this is put under massive value, and there is by no means any discredit due to you nor BFH in terms of the value assigned for your unceasing work and dedication. The problem is that the system right now isn't working, so we are raising it, to try to fix it. You should be happy about that. Nobody at any point has said hey Chew you suck or anything even close. Having day hosts works - only if the day hosts are involved and active. We are 9 days away, the calendar doesn't make it look like a party. It makes it look like a bunch of day hosts doing their own thing and not telling anyone, so who knows if anything is even being done? That isn't your fault, day hosts, as such, and day concepts, as such, are great. Its just...not working - and part of why its not working from my experience is because its not easy. The reward situation is not easy. It should be easy. I gave you a suggestion. I suggested a structure. I didn't go in to how or why, but it was inherently suggested. You can delegate to the TKs, that's a whole alliance designed to take on the burden of reward management, or you can come up with a structure, or...you do it like this and people get frustrated because of time restrictions on the individuals concerned - but you're not giving us any direction, you just keep saying it is how it is and the rewards will be TBC now. If the rewards are TBC that's fine, I'll accept it and I'm sure everyone else will too - but it raises the issues mentioned and has potential to lessen the effect of any work done. I'm happy to start a discussion on structure if you don't have a theoretical structure already, but I don't know how fast the turn around will be at this point, I'm not sure it will be fast enough - I can get it done in a few hours but that doesn't give a lot of people a lot of time to input. Pip has already said he is happy to pick things up. If time is an issue, delegate? guide us? We are looking for your leadership, we are respecting you and looking for your guidance. If it's TBC and that's your final say then stand by it and that's that. Z

Good point :)) ideally, but if someone wants to do it in a foreign language, how about just post a translation in text with your audio file. Can use google translate. I'd love to hear random languages going on! Z

A never-ending game of solitaire snap will be running for the duration of this day. I will randomly be drawing cards from my Imperial Arcane deck of cards I will draw them wherever I happen to be If I draw 2 of the same cards consecutively and you yell "snap!" at a location I'm live in, you win so long as you can tell me the card I drew and the locations If I draw the Ace of Diamonds and you yell "Money!", you win Once I've drawn a pair or an Ace of Diamonds...if I draw another card before you yell at me, it won't count. It will be ongoing all day, as many winners as there are pairs and diamonds yelled in time Rewards: 1sc for every win 1 x Imperial Arcane Deck to the one with the most wins. Good luck! Z
