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 16^th 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 15^th of August 00:00 server time. 

 

Rewards: 

 

1^st  place team (each member): Rusty, 3 gc, 1 Wiiya bubble;

2^nd place team (each member):  3 gc, 1 Wiiya bubble;

3^rd place team  (each member): 1 gc, 5 sc.  

 

(Thank you TK's, Soothing Sands and Rophs for your sponsorship! ) 

 

Edit : The criteria the poems will be judged on are as follows: grammar, proper language usage, usage of given topic + connection to the given quote, originality, style and expression.

Sounds like fun, but sadly(? :D) I'll be on a vacation till 24th 

It's ok, Rhaegar. :) If this has any success and goes well, I might do it again and you'll get your chance! :D
Meanwhile, have lots of fun on the vacation! 

 

who is going to judge the quest and what are the judging criteria?

I will not give the names of the judges as I don't want people to approach them or anything like that. I hope everybody is fine with it :)

The poems will be judged on structure, grammar use and language correction,likeness, connection to the quote and the good use of the topic;

well, I meant the system as such..are those going to be judges (one judge), you yourself or public voting. Thanks for clarifying :)

Perhaps we could throw in a Spontaneous Story Quest and turn this into a Spontaneous Seedwalk Quest :D

 

Regardless of whether of not that happens I will sponsor one fresh Wiiya Bubble to each member of the winning team. edit: there must be a minimum of three teams for the Bubbles to be awarded

The initial idea was to include stories too, but I don't know if time will be on my side and I didn't want to have to cancel anything. But you could do this. Make a quest similar to this (but with stories, of course) and continue the event after I am done with the poetry part. :)

 

And thank you so much for the sponsorship! :D

Bahhhh this sounds like so much fun but I won't be available until quite a bit later.

 

If i can't make it, I'll sponsor up to 4 gold depending on team size.

It's ok. Like I told Rhaegar, if it goes smoothly I'll do it again!

Oh and regarding the size of the team. Each team will have 2 individuals. :)
Thank you! 

I'll be teaming up with Intrigue

There will be at least one other story quest, as well as some other creation quests, going on in the summer fest! You have a couple days to come up with something yourself as well, Rophs!

Sign Fang Archbane and ZulNaar up as a team.

 

We are in.

Did I miss something or it simply didn't happen?

hmm? it is supposed to take place today, on the 16th. 

Sign ups ended last night at 00:00. Unfortunately we do not have at least 5 teams. The quest will not take place.  Maybe some other time in the future.  Sorry, guys and thank you again to all the sponsors.
