WOW! This last one is so good!!! What an artist you are!

Happy birthday Sebastian

I don't mind if Council has a problem with it, I have a problem with it. If you want to sponsor random WPs, choose someone else's quest to do it.

I have created the quest, I have named 3 persons to help me judging the submissions in a fair way and I have set the criteria to do that in a transparent, unbiased way. Now, may I suggest who to award with a WP, instead of giving it out randomly?

[size=4][background=rgb(255, 255, 255)][color=#222222]LOL, what a mess!!![/color] [color=#222222]TK's sponsored rewards are stated by Fang and I thought were clear enough..[/color] [color=#222222]Anyway, let's sum it all up.[/color] [color=#222222]The original rewards intended for the quest were:[/color] [color=#222222]1st place: 1 Lock in Chaos stone,[/color] [color=#222222]2nd place: 1 GG drachorn,[/color] [color=#222222]3rd place: 1 Tormented Soul.[/color] [color=#222222]These ones are provided by me and those who supported my quest (Peace and Azull), unrelated to TKs.[/color] [color=#222222]The original TK's sponsorship was:[/color] [color=#222222]1st place: 1 Shade, [/color] [color=#222222]2nd place: 10 sc,[/color] [color=#222222]3rd place: 5 sc.[/color] [color=#222222]Hence why I originally announced:[/color] [color=#222222]1st place: 1 Lock in Chaos stone + 1 Shade,[/color] [color=#222222]2nd place: 1 GG drachorn + 10 sc,[/color] [color=#222222]3rd place: 1 Tormented Soul + 5 sc.[/color] [color=#222222]The "updated" TK's sponsorship is:[/color] [color=#222222]1st place: 1 Darkling (instead of a Shade),[/color] [color=#222222]2nd place: 1 Shade (instead of 10 sc),[/color] [color=#222222]3rd place: 1 Soulweaver (instead of 5 sc).[/color] [color=#222222]In order to avoid having super big prizes for 3 people and minor prizes for everybody else, I thought better to redistribute the prizes as it follows:[/color] [color=#222222][color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 1st place: a Darkling,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 2nd place: a GG drachorn,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 3rd place: a Shade,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 4th place: a Lock in Chaos stone,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- 5th place: a Soulweaver,[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- for everybody else: an aged Necrovion's creature of your choice (Unholy Priest or Tormented soul).[/font][/color][/color] [font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]lashtal[/color][/font][/background][/size]

I avoided commenting this discussion so far, knowing I could be accused of having conflicting interests... Anyway, before assuming, have you talked to Fang to know why he sponsored the quest in such a generous way?

*takes the pill...* ... ..... ....... Amazing!!!

Great piece of art, congratulations AA!!!

I wanted to post a couple of suggestions, but I almost failed to notice you wrote the same paragraph 4 times... Better postpone my advice for a more lucid moment.

Aaah, it will be really hard to choose a winner... The submissions I received so far are simply amazing!! Come on folks! It's your time to play the dread father!!

I am encountering the same problem...

We would like to thank all those who shared their thoughts and wishes for Peace. The revival ceremony will take place today, Day 268, in Deathmarrow, around 23 s.t. During the afternoon the Gates will be opened, so that all those interested can attend.

The ceremony will probably take place in Deathmarrow (the cemetery is not accessible to all). However, please, stay on topic. This thread is meant to gather only what you wish to be declaimed during the ceremony (see ignnus's post for reference), not suggestions about how/when/where the ceremony has to take place. I'd invite you to speak directly to Peace about the place, the timing and the possibility to conjoin the revival ceremony with the ceremony of the dead. Thanks for understanding.

As the title say, this thread is meant to gather your thoughts for Peace, in the occasion of her revival ceremony. This is the place where to show how much you care for her. Your thoughts will be declaimed by MRAlyon, the one who defeated Molquert's guards for Peace's sake and thus the holder of the ceremony. The ceremony's day, time and place will be disclosed soon. Thank you.

Ehm, I just found an alt in that list, one that I know quite well since it's mine... Sorry for that, but lashtal was movelocked elsewhere and I couldn't wait to try the new Maebius sensation! Anyway, I did it just for fun, feel free to exclude me from the Lottery.

All the rewards have been sent. Thanks again to the sponsors and the judges!

What I had in mind was slightly different, but I can see your points (I'm referring to Eon and Valldore). I think that being skilled in gathering resources means also being able to do it in the most efficient way, allowing the needed time for them to regenerate. Depleting a scene means decreasing the scene's potential to (re)generate said resource. I'm not saying it's immoral to deplete resources and my post wasn't "against" those who enjoy depleting. I'm saying it's un-efficient from the resource's point of view. Ok, bones is probably unhappy as an example, not all of you has free access to graves and morgues... Let's take basil. Being skilled in gathering basil, imo means also knowing how much you can get of it without damaging the plant itself. It's the plant's point of view I am considering, That's why I was thinking of a penalty in said skill. To me, from the resource's point of view, depleting means being rough, not skilled.

How about incorporating a sort of stat damage for who deplete resources? An example: Every time I collect bones, my excavation stat is incremented by 0.05. Every time I deplete bones, my excavation stat is lowered by, let's say, 1. Or it could be a percentage of my current stat value. In the end, it would be as if I gathered said resource irresponsibly. lashtal

Shadowseeker picked the BP archer. Can the Treasure Keepers send him the CTC?

ignnus picked the Prot. stones. Shadowseeker? Up to you.

Plix Plox picked the Angien's Egg, Maebius skipped any rewards, time for ignnus to pick!
