Spontaneous Poetry Quest!

[Lania]

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 

[Lania]

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! 

 

[Eara Meraia]

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

[Lania]

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;

[Eara Meraia]

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

[Rophs]

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

[Soothing Sands]

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.

[Lania]

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! 

[Aeoshattr]

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!

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

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

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

[Lania]

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.
