Plix Plox Posted January 28, 2013 Report Posted January 28, 2013 Are we meant to talk about every single symbol on your list? or can we pick?
Nimrodel Posted January 28, 2013 Author Report Posted January 28, 2013 All Symbols. I know it needs lot of effort. But there might be other big rewards too Watcher and Plix Plox 1 1
Root Admin Muratus del Mur Posted January 29, 2013 Root Admin Report Posted January 29, 2013 IF there will be at least 10 participants to this, i will sponsor this quest with the following - a very low id creature from King Manu account (nothing special about the creature itself, but for some thats highly collectable). Id will have just 3 digits and about 2000days age - 1 wishpoint - 4 morphs to be divided as the organizer decides, either for top places or given for side rewards like for example, "the most unusual but fitting associations" Menhir, Plix Plox and Watcher 2 1
Nimrodel Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Posted January 30, 2013 Thank you very much Mur! Nao! Lets see what special category I can make. Hurry with the 10 submissions! HURRY! HURRY! HURRY!
Fang Archbane Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 Whoah whoah whoah D:! I say "if there are 'x' amount of participants in this quest I'll give 'this'" a couple times when I was TK head, and I get shunned o.o But Mur does it and it's the new hip thing to do? >>; Gah. The freedoms a Mur has :3 Now... To make this post on topic << I sponsor 3 spicy pickles for this quest, to be distributed as Nimehz sees fit ^//^ Mallos, Seigheart, Lintara and 1 other 3 1
Udgard Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 "if" stuff have always been allowed for any sponsor, except TK. They're the exception, not the norm because they are special, if I understand correctly. On topic: I will offer to convert the wishpoint won by 1st place to an item - something along the lines of "a tablet/plaque containing drawings of symbols from xx(number-too azy to count atm ) alliances of magicduel" - if there are 10 participants or more.

purplebunny Posted January 30, 2013 Report Posted January 30, 2013 ooooh what an interesting contest *gets thinking hat on*
lightsage Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 TK will sponsor this quest with: 1 Rustgold 2 Soulweaver Leaving it entirely up to Nimrodel to decide to which place these will go, with the request to spread the rewards. DARK DEMON and Seigheart 1 1
Nimrodel Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Posted February 4, 2013 Updated: prize list, rules for the special award.
Nimrodel Posted February 4, 2013 Author Report Posted February 4, 2013 Update: Added more prizes, changed the wishpoint reward to the special award criteria instead of the third place.
DARK DEMON Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Can you keep the number of submissions updated here?[/color][/font] Edited February 5, 2013 by DARK DEMON Kyphis the Bard, Nimrodel, Chewett and 5 others 1 7
Nimrodel Posted February 5, 2013 Author Report Posted February 5, 2013 umm no. I wil reveal the number of entries only after the quest ends. I wil notify the sponsors once i gather 10 participants. Plix Plox, DARK DEMON, Watcher and 3 others 4 2
phantasm Posted February 13, 2013 Report Posted February 13, 2013 would it be possible to add the symbols beside the name..or is finding all the symbols part of the quest?
Nimrodel Posted February 13, 2013 Author Report Posted February 13, 2013 the link to the symbols is given in the first post phantasm.. its the link to the page in MD wikia Kyphis the Bard 1
Eara Meraia Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 is it possible that the first price submission gets the most unique award as well or you see those as non-matching categories?
DARK DEMON Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]The link contains two extra guilds, namely the Advertisers and the Artisans Guild. You have not listed them, but since you said we have to do all, I wanted to confirm, do we have to do these two?[/color][/font] [font=comic sans ms,cursive][color=#006400]Edit: sorry, I accidentally mentioned Legend Speakers here[/color][/font] Edited February 24, 2013 by DARK DEMON
Nimrodel Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) There is only 1 advertiser now. And the symbol previously used by advertisers is used by the Lair keepers. The Artisan's guild is kinda obselete now. Writing bout it wont get you extra points. You may include it in your submission if you want to though. No Eara. All awards will be given to different players. Unless the judges unanimously decide otherwise. Edited February 24, 2013 by Nimrodel
Zyrxae Posted March 3, 2013 Report Posted March 3, 2013 Is the deadline the beginning or the end of Monday? Also, will you make the entries public when the judging is complete?
Nimrodel Posted March 3, 2013 Author Report Posted March 3, 2013 end of monday. That is tuesday 0000. As for the entries going public, that'd prolly depend on the number of entries. Zyrxae and Watcher 1 1
Burns Posted March 4, 2013 Report Posted March 4, 2013 Since there are so many rewards in here that only come out if there are 10 or more participants, i'll sponsor this with 1 Melodic Charm ONLY IF the requirements for Mur's rewards aren't met. (Also, this was planned since the quest started, but i needed to wait for the Wookie to hit the magic buttons... Can't sponsor stuff i don't control, can i? ) Watcher, Kyphis the Bard, Ackshan Bemunah and 2 others 4 1
Nimrodel Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Posted March 4, 2013 Edited the rewards. Watcher and Plix Plox 1 1
Nimrodel Posted March 4, 2013 Author Report Posted March 4, 2013 Extending the Quest for a week as many people requested it. The quest will end next monday night, tuesday starting, i.e. Midnight server time that is 0000 12/03/2013 Change, Watcher, Ackshan Bemunah and 2 others 4 1
