Lania

thank you for those volunteering to participate. BUT this is very important announcement for me personally:
 
please do sign up for the quest ONLY if you really want to participate, NOT to reach the number of participants.
 
WHY? If you register and be a part of a draw, but NOT submit your entry, this will mess up all results and somebody will get no song!!! So, if you are NOT going to submit anything or if you are going to find ANY song, without giving it a proper thought, please, ABSTAIN from registering. I want this quest to be FUN for everyone in the first row and not a reward hunting.
 
I will be happy if we get over 20, but those people should really be interested in the quest, otherwise it makes no sense at all. Thank you for your understanding.
 
NOTE: not knowing the person is a part of a challenge. It is clear that you might get somebody who you don't know well. The art of winning this challenge includes gathering of information or even (as an example) secretly approaching a person to get to know more. MD is about communication and information and most of you are very skilled in it.

Not to mention that the subtitles can be a hoax. So I would not accept such songs. I can find a song, falsify it's title, add subtitles that suit me and present it as a great entry.

This is meant to be a little in between entertainment for those who enjoy music of all kinds.
 
In this tiny quest you have a chance to be both – participant and a judge at once. You have to be able to think musically and know a couple of songs to fulfill the task.
 
How does it work?
 
Sign in in this thread (until  Aug. 29, 23:59 ST)
Get a randomly assigned person (from the pool of people who are also participating)
After you found out the name of that person (name must be kept in secret) you have exactly 1 week of time (Sept. 1 - Sept 8.) to find a song that characterizes this person best of all (we are talking about MD characters, not real people!). Both music and lyrics will be counted.
During the week you send me the link with the song and a short paragraph (up to 150 words) explaining why this particular song matches the person so well.
The song and explanation will be forwarded to a person and 2 more judges, who will decide how much does your song matches the character. (judges will have a number of criteria)
You will have to judge a song and a passage somebody else (persons name will be hidden until the end of the quest) wrote about you.
After all judges and participants made up their minds the scores will be counted and the winner announced.
You have to be ready that both - songs and explanations are to be posted on forum for amusement of the rest of the audience.
Songs should be in English language.
 
Updated final list of rewards:
 
Place 1: melodic charm, imperial aramor, 3 GC
Place 2: 2GC, imperial aramor, toadspeak stone, mirrorritual stone, teleportpapercabin stone
Place 3: 1 GC, toadspeakstone, mirroritual stone
 
ATTENTION: players who get to places 2 – 4 have a chance to win the second melodic charm!
 
For that they will have to participate in the second round of the challenge with a quite difficult task to fulfill (which will be the same task for each of them and the same kind of task they had in the first round. The exact details about the second round challenge will be announced after the first round results are published).  If somebody of those who got rank 2-4 refuses to participate in the second round, the player of the rank 5 will have a chance to do so.

The poems:
 
Team 1 (Sunfire and ZulNaar) Topic: Abandonment. Quote: "Sometimes a person needs us to abandon them, but we hang-on anyway, which can be devastating for both parties.” ― Bryant McGill
 
Loneliness is a state of mind
it brings us to the darkest places
But also makes us kind
when seeing friendly faces
We are their poison, yet they say nothing
a pain, not physical, but burns inside
It poisons everyone, but none says anything
it fills us with a feeling of loss from which we cannot hide
We only sigh, stabbing our heart with another rusty needle
whether we stay behind or depart
Our souls are getting feeble
our only hope, every end is a new start
 
 
Team 2 (Dark Demon and Lintara) Topic: Childhood. Quote: “Everything is ceremony in the wild garden of childhood.” - Pablo Neruda
 
Covered in the morning rays of sun
Jump, roll, play, run!
On the grass before the heat of day
No burdens, no rules to obey
One afternoon a dozen fields of different color
Oh, how beautiful they look together!
Then dusk slinks in and colors change
And the innocent mind thinks, "Oh, how strange!"
Night steps out and calls them home
Sealing another chapter from their tome
Another morning flips a new page
Until you pass that wonderful age.
 
 
Team 3 (Assira the Black and Aeoshattr) Topic: Fear. Quote: “A man that flies from his fear may find that he has only taken a shortcut to meet it.” - J.R.R. Tolkien
 
Turning in the mist, your eyes play tricks
The wind rustles, a crow mourns and your heart leaps
Delving deep within the darkness your emotions do mix
Wrung like a spring, you hear spiders sing with sticks
A chill raises from the base of your spine
You dare not turn your head, but take more steps – nine
Your throat holds your breath trapped
You try to scream, but your lips are chapped
If only death would come quickly instead of being held captive
One last step, one last glance as the shade remains ilusive
Its building, its closer, there is no space.
Around you turn, to see a bloodied, grinning face.
 
 
Team 4 (Rikstar and The Rich Merchant) Topic: Friendship. Quote: “I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.” - Helen Keller
 
As I set my step, so did he.
i”ve never known him to be
I drowned him, so that I could see.
i lost him, so i then lost ”me”
 
He set a step, so did I.
he asked for truth, he needed lies.
The lies for which he asked me why.
to which i have just one reply:
Would you rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light?
the mirror nodded and dissapeared from sight
 
 
Team 5 (Sir Blut and John Constantine) Topic: Living. Quote: “Don’t die before you’re dead.” - Rachel Wolchin
 
Laid desolately in my last hour, on my last day
the things that could happen, weaved nests in my brain.
All of the champagne, I told myself the rest to blame
but Truth like a lightning bolt - has struck my veins.
This is not the deepest that I have bled
I looked in the mirror to see the flesh.
An old fart looked back at me, I can't wait to rest
rejection was futile, my grave have to wait.
 
 
I would like to thank and congratulate all participants!
Also, many thanks to the judges and the helpers! ^^
May the verse be with you! :D

I loved the entire event, and I cannot wait to see the judges final results. As an official event, the logs and poems will be included under the Summer Festival records postings I will put out later. 
 
Thanks so much for such an amazing event, Lania! It was well done, and a great idea. Good luck judging to the judges, and good luck to all the participants!

Ever wanted to see your favorite MD scene's night version?  Now is your chance to make it happen!
 
Here's what you need to do:
 
1. Choose your favorite location in the realm.
2. Color it in a way of your choosing to make it look like it's night
3. Put a constellation in the sky of something MD related.
4. Write a paragraph about why you chose that particular thing for your constellation.
5. Send your constellation image and paragraph to Krioni by 8/19 (Loreroot's day of the Summer Fest).  He will keep your identity secret from me so I can choose the winner without knowledge.
 
Every entry will get 2 silver coins!
 
There will be one winner.  That winner will get 2 gold coins!
 
Thank you to the TK's for sponsoring. :)

Hello! Hello, one and all!  I thought I should give a try and prepare a small quest for the upcoming Summer Festival. 
 
What will happen? 
1. We will gather up at a scene (most likely at the Necrovion Gates, but it's not certain now so stay tuned for updates) on 16th of August. (probably around 22:00 server time - again, stay tuned for updates)
2. Each team or couple will have to compose a poem together, with a topic given by me on the spot + a quote (also on the spot) that they will have to take into consideration when making the poem.
3. The length of the poem will have to be min. 8 verses, max. 12. 
4. Rhymes are a must! (I don't care if they are one after the other or entwined, they just have to be there)
 
The poems will be made in the form:

Hello! Hello, one and all!  I thought I should give a try and prepare a small quest for the upcoming Summer Festival. 
 
What will happen? 
1. We will gather up at a scene (most likely at the Necrovion Gates, but it's not certain now so stay tuned for updates) on 16th of August. (probably around 22:00 server time - again, stay tuned for updates)
2. Each team or couple will have to compose a poem together, with a topic given by me on the spot + a quote (also on the spot) that they will have to take into consideration when making the poem.
3. The length of the poem will have to be min. 8 verses, max. 12. 
4. Rhymes are a must! (I don't care if they are one after the other or entwined, they just have to be there)
 
The poems will be made in the form: 
 
Player X: One verse
Player Y: A second verse
Player X: Another verse
Player Y: Another verse and so on.  
 
So:
 
1. Team up with someone (each team will be of only 2 individuals);
2. Sign up your team here (you can chose a name for the team if you like)
3. Sign ups will end on 15th of August 00:00 server time.
