Okay, only a few hours left of Christmas Eve in Romania. In the next 8 hours you need to get a claim posted about your score. Documentation can follow if you win. In case of ties, I might have to award two wp's -- unless it was staged, of course...

By "no posts for a week" I meant if the thread is dead and the quest is a bust and nobody cares. Obviously there is continued active interest, so the quest ends the beginning of Christmas day. Keep on collecting stuff! You may continue to update and improve.

I think it depends on how the private forum is set up. If it is set up specifically as an alliance thing, then it should follow the alliance leadership. If it is set up as a special interest project, then ownership should stay with the originator. So, if the question was not put to the originator when it was started, perhaps owners should be asked now....

Okay, it must be I'm just not finding it. Mods, sounds like we can close this.

Okay, hearing no objections, the wp now goes to darkraptor. Still plenty of gold if another group gets themselves organized to have a go at the dentist's office.

I understood you could only BUY one of each through the shop, regardless of resets. But I got mine through trade and can't see either in the shop now. If you traded for one, does that also kick it out of the shop? Does it work the other way around, if you bought one from the shop and traded it away, would it reappear on next reset? Or if I traded away the one I got through trade.... etc.? [Edit - no I'm not sure I'm looking in the right places. But I see gold coins out there, and not these critters.]

I am NOT actually the best authority of PAST legends and history. I can perhaps give you leads to follow up on. But I am good at telling new stories, and designing interesting game/quest systems.

2sc each for the imps and pimps.

Let me know if you can help. Got to make gold fillings!

Okay, rainbow candy is eaten by elus to make paper. It is therefore a resource. Grasan ferment -- not sure. Has there been any statement from Mur etc,. that it will be used to MAKE stuff, or just be useful as it is? I have some, was told it is an intoxicating beverage. Lacking any evidence that grasan ferment is used to make something else, I'm disinclined to call it a resource. But I'm open to argument. And there may be more announcements before this ends. Yes please, update your post claiming a score as you go, so that we don't have week-long lapse and end early or something. Keep the competition on edge, the game exciting, etc. Save screen shots but you don't have to bother posting them until the end, if you win. [Edit: If you know a use for Grasan Ferment, and want to spring it as a surprise after the end of the quest has been called, that is completely allowed. Others who happen to have that would get credit too, but keeping the secret may prevent others from trying for it. Just an example.]

Udgard Said: The Golden Protector For the player who is viewed as performing the best in the role of protector(MP6) during the past year. The player does not have to currently be a protector. The voter should take into account the actions of the other protectors in the realm, rather than automatically voting for their own. Best can mean how helpful the protector has been, to how effective they have been in recruiting worshippers, this is at the voters discretion. Amoran K Kol I will put forward this nomination, and I am NOT from Loreroot. [Edit - I see that yes, she was already nominated -- that's why I didn't bother before --, so this whole exchange is moot.] Adventuring award: I'm not allowed to nominate passant, so the choice is clearly to nominate Esmaralda for adventuring award. Sorry duxie, honorable mention.

I'll give it to him (or anybody) if they are really not going to visit the dentist any more.

Is that starting point or what you've harvested since the hunt started? Or the sum of everything?

Umm, it may not be necessary to actually post your screen shots as you go. You can just post claimed scores, update as needed, and then we'll check out the screen shots of just the winner at the end. Up to you.

Okay, okay -- first is clue you got, second is next step needed. 11 means finished. I probably should NOT of published who got what, but I was in a hurry... Hopefully that won't help the new group any -- if the finished folks don't spoil it for them.

If anybody wants this code for their own quests, I've formatted a trimmed version for Seig. Past winners only, or I'll have to edit out the text and then it will be sorta hard to follow....

Tarith - what did you do to wipe your entry? SS had same problem.... I can fix your file, but need to know what clue you got.

Yes, actually he has already pointed this out to me. Was an honest mistake. Stil, he passes, the wp is now likely to go to darkraptor.

Well, it looks like the wp goes to Eon, unless somebody cares to do an alt-check and come up with something.

Is all you want for Christmas to keep your teeth, after all those sweets? Then you're in luck! Mur has donated a number of gold coins we could use as fillings, and I have opened up the MDA Dental Office in the hut north of Wind's Sanctuary. Everyone (or at least the first few dozen) can come by and get their gold - and maybe their wish! [u]Contest.....[/u] As usually with Fyrd's work, things are in a muddle. You are going to have to uncover 10 magic enchantments and use them in sequence to get your gold. One enchanted phrase is given randomly to each player so, really, this is all about "sharing" during this Holiday Season. Go to the hut north of Wind's Sanctuary, use password "LOOK" and follow the signs to the Dentist's Office. [u]Rules....[/u] First to finish gets a wishpoint if eligible, otherwise 5 credits. The first few dozen get a gold. I probably won't shut this down until it becomes too easy.... certainly not until after christmas or if I run out of Mur's gold. Don't make me explain the rules about using alts to benefit your other accounts unless you really don't know.... I will have records of who got which enchanted phrases. Special prize to anybody who actually guesses one. Ha! Unlikely! Sponsorships welcome - so you might get an extra "toy" after you leave. [Edit: Sharing is one thing, spoiling the fun by giving it all away is quite another....]

Currency per se does not count as a resource. So Tipu is the first entry, with a score of ONE.

I want a morph, and would spend credits to get one, so it is a way to generated much-needed revenue for MD. Is it in the best interest for the realm, beyond the finance question? I like the idea of things getting gradually less rare, but only if they are replaced by other rare and mysterious creatures.

Okay, I get it now, let's continue with Shadow's example: He sells off or otherwise gets rid of 14 lumber, outside the context of the scavenger hunt, then mills 2 new ones. yes, this would count as one item, provided he could prove to everyone's satisfaction that they were NEW, even though he actually had a decrease in count. More examples: Start with 10 lumber, mill 10 more, sell them for 2 gold. Only 1 gold would be considered "earned" and thus eligible to trade for more resources within the context of the scavenger hunt. Continuing. Mill 10 MORE lumber, and that 2nd gold becomes eligible retroactively. Mill 1 MORE lumber, and this counts as an item itself. Again, all provided you can prove to everyone's satisfaction what you did, and that you EARNED the wishpoint, not "just bought it".

Udgard - yes, any resource increased counts as one item. Maebius - yes, that would count as a score of FOUR, provided each of those was either new, or increased. Shadow - I think we can look at net transactions. If you earn back what you traded away, then you're not "buying" a wishpoint with prior holdings. Similarly if you harvest a resource, sell it for gold, then use THAT gold to buy a resource, you can see that as equivalent to just harvesting and trading. The principle is that you simply must have "earned" the resources you are claiming during this period, not bought them with prior holdings. And be prepared to explain it all to the peanut gallery to justify that you "earned" the wp, not bought it. If one resource is "tainted" by commercialism, simply exempt it from your claimed "finds" in the scavenger hunt. We want a measure of your EARNINGS from the scavenger hunt period.
