lashtal

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?

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.

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Ladies and gentlemen,[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]since Samhain-Halloween is getting closer, your favorite Necrovion's crew is willing to help you refreshing your dreadful skills with a new quest. [/font]



[b][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Design a ritual/incantation meant to instill terror in someone. [/font][/b]
[b][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Your victim should be explicited and the ritual customized accordingly.[/font][/b]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Notes:[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- All submissions should be sent to me privately (either via PM or forum PM) not later than [b]October 31st[/b].[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- The rituals/incantations are meant to terrorize, not to harm directly. [/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- Analysis and discretion might be required in order to figure out your victim's fears or weak spots. [/font][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Participants will have to explain how/why their "ingredients" have been chosen.[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- Submissions will be disclosed publicly, their authors will stay anonymous.[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]What are we looking for:[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- "Terror" is preferable to "horror". This quest is about darkness and elegance. [/font][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Indeterminacy should be essential, if you "dress" fear with too many details, it becomes inconsistent. [/font][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]A dreadful sense of anticipation will be valued much more than any bloody-gory manifestation. [/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif][b]Rewards:[/b] ([u]for the updated list, please refer to my last post[/u])[/font]

[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- 1st classified: a Shade and a Lock in Chaos stone,[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- 2nd classified: a GG drachorn and 10 silver coins,[/font]
[font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]- 3rd classified:[/font] a Tormented soul and 5 silver coins.

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif][b]Clarification[/b]: [/font]To avoid misunderstandings, I'm not looking for "combat rituals", I'm looking for Role Played rituals.
Incantations, ceremonies, Inner Circle-like techniques... Up to you!

Thanks a lot to the sponsors: Azull, Peace, Falronn, ignnus and the Treasure Keepers!

[font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]Depending on the other events arranged for Halloween, your rituals will be disclosed and possibly "tested" between October 31st and November 2nd. Enjoy![/font]

Just to make sure it is Random, I will give a list of numbers that correlates to each player name. I will give one list, the one with just the numbers, to Lashtal, and another, with both the names and numbers. Lashtal will pick the number, send it to Chew, and Chew will announce the winner.

To prevent any sort of biased choosing of the winner of the WP.

No, it will be random.

I have permission, from Mur, to use my WPs however I see fit, as long as I do not use them on myself.

If Council has a problem with it, well, they know what they can do.

It's halloween, cheer up, have some fun.

I will sponsor this with a WP. It will be randomly given to one of those who have submitted.

I personally don't think WPs should be given as a random reward. They should be merit-based with a clear criteria on who will win it.

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?
[/quote]

This wasn't even my question.

The original prizes were...I actually don't even remember what they were. I think there was a GG Drachorn and a soulweaver involved.
(EDIT: Nope, I'm wrong.)
but says Fang:

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]The Prizes have changed and now they go as FOLLOWS >:3[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]1st Prize) a Darkling (que the dramatic music)[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]2nd Prize) a Shade (que the drop in bass)[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]3rd Prize) a Soulweaver (que the surprise)[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/quote][/font][/color]

It is unclear what of this TK is sponsoring.

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Now Lashtal adjusts the prizes:[/font][/color]

[b]Rewards[/b][color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif] ([/font][/color][u]due to the recent upgrade in TK's sponsored rewards, I'd change it as it follows[/u][color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]):[/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 1st classified: a Darkling,[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 2nd classified: a GG drachorn,[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 3rd classified: a Shade,[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=arial, helvetica, sans-serif]- 4th classified: a Lock in Chaos stone,[/font][/color]
[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]- 5th classified: 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=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][/quote][/font][/color]

[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]You can see that it is unclear what exactly TK intends to sponsor, and the fuzzy interpretation lead lashtal to (1) alter the quest and (2) alter TK's sponsorship promise.[/font][/color]

[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][color=#282828]I am confused as to why the terminology "Prizes have changed" was used and why existing prizes were displaced, among other things.[/color][/font]

I actually really like that Fang ups it if more people take part, and I like that he is giving out great prizes for what he thinks are great quests. That's what he is supposed to do. If he just gives out minor prizes all the time then he might as well go sleep with the fishes because there is little point seeing as we could all do that ourselves.

Z

Unless Mur has given specific instructions to get bigger Rewards because Its near Halloween, then he should be rewarding based on the worth of the quest. Not throwing darklings and shades around to gain favour with the public.

Edit: please see the below post.

Nice skulls guys! I'm new here and want to say that the community is so energetic and great
Here are the best skulls I could make so far. I made these myself using some awesome tool + some Photoshop while listening to the fantastic Dia de Los Muertos(Spanish), the music is now stuck in my head and won't go away.
It took so long before I was satisfied enough with them to post but I enjoyed making them and I hope you like them too. If anyone likes to have one of the original (big size) versions, just PM me

Great entries.

Offtopic:

Why people are neg rep Fang? Just because he made a "fun" reward comment that we know is a joke >> Great use of reputation system.
[/quote]

It's ok BFH, I'm beyond used to it by now o.o

To me, honestly, rep doesn't mean a thing ^^ my real rep resides in the heads and hearts of people, and that's all that matters =]
