[9S LAUNCH EVENT] Scavenger Hunt

Post by Volen »

THE RULES ARE SIMPLE....

A: Message A SCAVENGER HUNT HOST IN-GAME ON THE EVENT DAYS
(Message "Volen" using the TSW ingame mail system. You can find this at a post office.)
B: THE HOST WILL Message YOU BACK IN GAME WITH A SERIES OF QUESTIONS FOR YOU TO ANSWER
(For the faster response to your email, "tell" Volen in game once you've send your email and then he will "tell" you once it is sent. Remember... the timestamps in the game is where you're scores come from so don't forget to be close a post office when you're ready to play.)
C: YOU GO OUT INTO THE SECRET WORLD AND FIND THE ANSWERS IN GAME
D: ONCE YOU HAVE YOUR ANSWERS, Message BACK THE 9S HOST IN GAME WITH YOUR ANSWERS

THE PERSON WITH THE MOST CORRECT ANSWERS IN THE SHORTEST TIME WINS!
Time is measured from the moment the questions are send to the player until the time the answers are received.

RULES OF THE ACTIVITY
1. Standard 9S behavior rules apply
2. Participants are expected to play individually by visiting locations in-game to answer questions. The use of the 'help' channels, whispers, etc. to find the answers to questions by using other plays is forbidden.
2. A host's decision on whether an answer is correct or incorrect is FINAL with no appeal
3 The host may decide with no reason given to withdraw the event, or stop the event if he decides that the spirit of the event has been compromised by discourse. This includes the no awarding of prizes, if any.

IMPORTANT UPDATE: The post office appears to be bugged still today (was last night during testing as well)... please feel free to PS (tell) in-game for the questions and to return answers. I'll keep track of the time manually this time.My times (the time I SEE and I REPLY to your tells are the official times :-) )
- Take care! V

I'd like to provide a "prize" for the winner of this.. but we don't exactly have a 'bank' for this yet.

So... one of the suggestions was to take up a collection for this. I believe this would fall to "research" which controls the bank... but I'm not sure :-)

I need a couple of folks to help with this event in the coming week... doing research and then again during the weekend to act at 'hosts'. We especially need someone on the UK side, and one more from the US side so we can cover the most time zones.

Please post here or PM me if you can help research or co-host this activity!

Thanks, V

Hmm. I may be able to help on Saturday. My wife wants to visit her sister on Saturday, and I've played the 'gonna be tired' card fairly well (have my Ph.D. interview on Friday...4 hours away). The tricky part is I have to use her laptop to play TSW, so if she's here....

..little bump here... I still need some help to pull this event off :-)
Two helpers needed... please PM me if you can help me host.
Host should not keep you from being able to participate in most of the other events.

Thanks! - V

One of my son's is being deployed (at bit of a surprise to all of us) this week (he serves in the US Army)... so we are having a special dinner for him Friday night so I'll be offline for a few hours starting around 6 PM US central time.

I'm starting this event off earlier so you'll have the same amount of time to do 'the hunt'... sorry for the late notice!!

Updated Times are...
1500 hrs U.S. Central Time (2100 hrs GMT) - Where is Volen? (Scavenger Hunt)
This event runs through the weekend... and ends Sunday.

Good luck out there!!
