It's getting colder and colder by the day, and the smell of winter is in the air - yet this time, it smells dry, sharp. Not like in other times, it doesn't have the rich tang of mulled wine, ginger, cookies and candy canes... 

 

"It is so cold..."¹ you must think, and you are correct. Something must be done... Certainly if the cold continues, not even the mightiest Reindrachs will be able to carry Santa all the way to the tree in time for Murmas. You must bring warmth. For the sake of... Murmas of course, why else would want you to warm up the air?...

 

The time has been decided: gather at the Gazebo of Equilibrium on the 22nd of December, 22:00 ST. The shortest Day and the longest Night of the year. A good time to find a Bonfire to feed for an hour or two... As more time you will not have, with the vicious frost taking advantage of the long, cold night. Light the fire into a mighty beacon of heat, and Santa is sure to reward you... Fail, and the rewards will certainly be diminished.

 

Rewards

[spoiler]

As this quest will run only for a maximum of two hours, the rewards consist solely of Christmas Points. Rankings are determined based on the amount of heat donated to the bonfire individually, and according to a total threshold that must be reached by the end of the quest.

 

"Participation" is determined as follows:

MP3: Donate a minimum of 1 Heat

MP4: Donate a minimum of 500 Heat

MP5: Donate a minimum of 1000 Heat

 

If enough heat is gathered:

1. 4 Christmas Points
2. 3 Christmas Points
3. 2 Christmas Points
4. (everybody else who participated) 1 Christmas Point

If there is NOT enough heat by the end of the quest:

• (everybody who participated) 1 Christmas Point

RULES

[spoiler]

1. Lock in Chaos use is strictly forbidden, both from outside sources onto the participants and between the participants themselves.
2. The only teleportation spells that may be used must teleport at most to No Man's Land (send to goe, teleport PC). Teleportation spells that send to any other land are strictly forbidden, both from outside sources onto the participants and between the participants themselves.
3. Petrify, due to its duration, is strictly forbidden, both from outside sources onto the participants and between the participants.
4. As a rule of thumb, anything that significantly impairs the ability of a player to reach the bonfire for more than 30 minutes is considered prohibited. This includes the spells mentioned above, moving players to distant (East) locations or locations with an AP wall (mur's  temple), locations with no exit, or heavens forbid, jailing or banning. Keep in mind this competition will last at most 2 hours - excluding a player from it for a significant amount of time would be very un-christmas-like.
5. Leashes, alliance leader jumping or any other form of transportation is permitted.
6. Any consumables that generate heat (pickles, candy, heat stones) are permitted.
7. Any item shop services that produce heat or briskness or alter the regen timer are permitted.

While I would like to rely on your christmas spirit and good-will to follow these guidelines, I feel the need to mention that any malicious infringement of these rules will bring exclusion of the player from any other quest organised by me in the future. This also applies to non-participants who impair participants with ill intent.

¹ - "It is so cold..." will be your key phrase to use at the bonfire.

So technically those who have higher briskness have an advantage?

Sorry I just noticed 22:00 ST is 04:00 in my timezone. 

I will try but cannot guarantee my present.

Technically, yes. Keep in mind though that even those with low brisk can prepare for this, by having bursts ready before the contest, etc etc. 

 

Furthermore, there might be some out there who do not want to let people give heat...

Oops. Sorry Syri. I actually haven't considered MP6s. I don't mind you participating (with the same requirements as MP5).

Umm...she can get heated by others. So imo it would not be fair for the mp5 people.

In the process of being discussed. As I said, I haven't considered MP6 (since we only have 1. Sorry Syri!).

Will announce what will be decided.

Updated main post with a few rules to keep in mind :) sign-ups are allowed up until 1 hour before the event (mostly for administrative reasons, rather than anything else).

Hoping I will be able to attend,
