Maebius Posted December 10, 2015 Report Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) Unless you've been living under a rock lately, you'll know the Murmas preparations have begun! It's time to decorate the tree! Wait, but what about the things that DO live under rocks?! They need to know too! Go pick up the rocks at the GoE and call out "Murmas Time", to start! Each critter that hides under there will give you a small task to complete, then ask that you check the next area, somewhere in the realm, and the Key words to use. Most of the time, you'll be using the easy-to-remember phrase "Murmas Time". Along each step, you'll be "decorating" Awiiya, via badly photoshopped clipart onto a snapshot of the Awiiya's Way scene, to bring some colour and activity to those sadly barren branches. However, be warned, that like some of my older quests, you probably will not be able to do the entire quest alone. You'll discover the challenges as you progress. Also, there's no need to Rush since time is not a factor. Everyone who progresses far enough to "Complete" the quest will have their name dropped into my Hat, to draw out during the holidays for prizes. Chewett has also granted Christmas Points to everyone who completes this quest. Enjoy! (1 Christmas point for all participants, then 4, 3, 2 points for first, second, third.) The quest will run from Now, until midnight, Jan 3rd. Good luck! (Also note, that while completing "most" of the Tasks/stages of this quest will count as "complete" in terms of entering the Winner's Tombola, extra copies of your names will be put into my hat if you finish the three "optional" steps you'll find at the end. If you find them.) Prizes so far as as follows: 1 Gold Coin 1 Gold Coin 1 Gold Coin (yes, 3 total, as separate drawings) Snowman / morph BloodPact Archer BoostDefense Stone GuardianArmy Stone ToadSpeak Stone mouldy old Angien Egg, (of course) 11 Silver Coins (in bundles of 5,3,2,1) 5-credit award another 5-Credit award Plus the Christmas Point awards mentioned above (1 Christmas point for all participants, then 4, 3, 2 points for first, second, third.) (side note: I miss Awiiya, this is partially an homage to his memory)I also will say it's Fair game to share any hints on when/what/where/why the next steps towards the end. In the spirit of celebration, and Discovery, the latter stages are a bit vague. Once found, keep or sell or share the details as you feel appropriate. Hopefully the Intrigue is amusing and not Frustration.

JadenDew Posted December 11, 2015 Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Everyone who progresses far enough to "Complete" the quest will have their name dropped into my Hat, to draw out during the holidays for prizes. So 1st, 2nd and 3rd placing is dependent on a "lucky draw" at the end of the quest? Kyphis the Bard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maebius Posted December 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2015 Three people have gotten to the stage that counts as "completion" thus far, and are working on the optional extra-bonus-bits. That means folks still working on it now have a bit of a "boost", from how warmed up they had gotten running around so fast, for a bit of time. :) Appologies to anyone who found the wonky delays. If a particular stone says something along the lines of "Nothing interesting here, maybe go to the GoE and say "Murmas Time" to start", it's used in a later stage. I apparently forgot to type "...or check the last stage you were on." at the end of that sentence, and am working on that this afternoon. (that'll teach me to rush to get it posted by "the 10th", not realizing the announcement meant of January) Esmaralda and Kyphis the Bard 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maebius Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Just an update. It appears at least 8 people have "completed" their decorations up to the main ending-point! Horray!(also: 3 people have found all three extra-bonus points, w00t!)I've updated the original post to include the list of Prizes as well!JadenDew, yes.I've planned on tossing all the gifts into a santa sack and drawing names from my hat to attach to the gift one by one.Tombola/Lottery-style.

Maebius Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Just a brief update. Quest deadline extended after two people who started asked very nicely for a few more days due to irl delays and issues over the holiday season(and they were over 1/2 way "completed" in how far they progressed so far, and told me prior that a delay was possible).New deadline and Closure will be midnight, Jan 3rd.So far, I have 15 people in the "Completed!" listing, and four who found at least one or two of the bonus points! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maebius Posted December 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) yep, I was questioning the 7's, which was odd becauase the step before gave 6 points. Looking deeper, yep, you did. Yay for those early Bugs! updated list Edited December 31, 2015 by Maebius Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maebius Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Ok, quest closed and scores above updated. Soon as I grab my Sprogling to help me draw names from the Hat (monday or tuesday after school), I will post the final results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maebius Posted January 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2016 (edited) Ok, so I can not get my tablet to take more than a 5-8 second video without crashing. ARGH!! Going to try at work tomorrow to fiddle with things, since I wanted to record the process of drawing names and ensure Fairness and Transparency... [spoiler] (similar to how we did this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H1bmj6vSmYs)[/spoiler] if I can't get the camera working, I will post the names as drawn and hope you trust that it is fair. (or, try to take Tiny clips and ask a friend to paste them together into a longer video?)

I thought these were the rewards then! :D I was thinking "Odd...I didn't even think these players were around..." and was questioning my sanity. Then I saw "similar to how we did this". :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
