Popular Post dst Posted September 10, 2015 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Christmas is here, the goose is getting fat....errr....wait...No! Halloween is near, dst's brain had an idea (yes, it happens from time to time...). What I want you to do is tell me a Halloween related story. BUT there's a catch: you need to tell me the story using stones that you have painted (or applied stickers or other pics on). For example: take a flat stone on which you paint (if you have the skills) or glue an image of a spider. That will be your spider stone. On a different stone draw/paint/glue a web. Now you have 2 stones that if you put next to each other I will know that you want to say something like: A spider sat on a web. ***** How to: arrange the stones in any pattern (square, dodecahedron etc etc) or order (left to right, columns etc) you like and provide us with instructions on how to read them (yes, I will be needing a picture of the stones). You also have to include in the picture a stone (similar to the ones you used for the story) with your player name and ID. Send the picture (or the link to it) by PM to me (I prefer forum PM since in game ones are tricky). Send also the story using words. DO NOT reveal the picture or story to anyone else (it's for your own good). ***** Scoring: - I will be posting the entries on the forum (thanks Aethon for the idea) once the deadline will be reached. Then I will open a poll and anyone will be able to vote their fav (it will be a multiple choice poll). Most voted submission will get the number of points equal to the total number of submissions (so for example if there are 5 submissions, top one will get 5, second will get 4 and so on). In case of a tie, both submissions will get the same number of points. The above points will be added to the points provided by the judges so...I NEED JUDGES please. PM me if you wish to be one. Many thanks in advance. The judges will score based on the below: - Stones Creativity: how good your stones look like (if you draw a square on a stone and call it a house you will get a low score). Same scoring scale as above. Extra 4 points will be awarded if the images on the stones are drawn and not glued (I am not looking for Picasso although he was good at drawing shapes :D but I do want to reward hard work). Another option would be for you to draw things on paper by yourself (I will need proof of that - scan or picture of said papers containing your playername and id) and then cut them and glue them to the stones. If you go by this, you will also get 4 points. There is an exception and you will see it below. If you have a mix of stones you will only get 2 additional points (however you need to have at least 1/3 of the stones painted to qualify). - Story creation : the better the story is, the better your score will be (this is usually a subjective criterion so the final score for this will be halved). Same scoring method as above. However, you will get one additional point for each of below: a) It's Halloween related. b) Action takes place in MD. c) At least one of the characters is linked to MD (can be a creature or a player or any of the NPCs) - for this you CAN print the avatar or the picture of the crit or the NPC. If this (or those) is your only glued stone, the bonus for painted stones will be awarded. - Story/stones compatibility: this will measure how well you managed to tell the story using the pictures (this is why I requested the worded story as well). You will get 2 additional points if you manage to create at least 2 stones that will suggest an action (like walking, talking etc). ***** Deadline: 20th of November 2015 So you have a little over 2 months. Goal is to announce the winner(s) one week later (on the 27th because I might not be around during Halloween to post the results). ***** Rewards: 1st place: 1 WP + 1 Soul weaver 2nd: 1 sendtogazeebo stone + 1 acoustincremains stone + 1 earfocus stone 3rd: 1 GC + 5 credits (1 credit code worthing 5 credits) If anyone wishes to sponsor the quest, please let me know. I will also contact the TKs for additional sponsorship. If there will be more than 5 (worthy) submissions I will add a lockinchaos stones as well. If there will be more than 7 (worthy) submissions, I will be adding a second WP and "rearrange" the prizes. If you think there should be other criteria for judging, please let me know. Any improvements are welcomed. Other suggestions are also welcomed. Good luck and have fun! Thank you Sy for the awesome name for the quest (stonies was Sy's idea - for the record).

dst Posted September 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 Depends on the TK sponsorship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyphis the Bard Posted September 18, 2015 Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Finding good stones is difficult. Can I just use potatoes instead? Aethon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2015 Finding good stones is difficult. Can I just use potatoes instead? You mean good potatoes are easier to find than stones? O.o I knew Australia is strange but NOT that strange... Ok...you can use potatoes but to be perfectly honest I don't think the color will hold on them (or the stickers/glue).Also don't cut them. Use them full. Kyphis the Bard and Aethon 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dst Posted September 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2015 Updated rewards with 1 Soulweaver sponsored by the TKs. Also, if there will be 5 or more worthy submissions, I will add a lockinchaos spell stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
