Code: Select all
Rules for the Tenth Genesis All Hallows Eve Scavenger Hunt!
=======================================================================
The scavenger hunt lasts TWO weeks (14 days), starting 21:00 on
Saturday 26 October, ending 21:00 on Saturday 8 November. Items that
are submitted outside this time slot will not count toward the hunt.
The objective is to collect as many different items from the scavenger
hunt list as you can find. Not all items can be reached by each person.
Trading is permitted. Note that several items were newly created and
brought into the world solely for the scavenger hunt. Exploring thus
may pay off. The list will be revealed when the scavenger hunt starts.
It can be listed at the pumpkins in the common board rooms.
Scavengers may work individually AND in teams. Teams are to register at
the pumpkins in the common board rooms. This may be done at any time
during the hunt. To form a group, the group leader has to go to one of
the pumpkins near the common boards, and do "group invite <person>".
The invited person(s) can then accept this invitation with "group join
<groupname>". Please note that when you have joined a group, it is not
possible to leave a group again to switch to another group. The maximum
group size is 4 people.
Groups will be rewarded for the most items on average per group member
and for finding the highest no. of different items amongst the members.
Items count toward the team total, as well as toward the individual's
total. So you can be in a team and in the individual contest at the
same time.
Per person, only one of each item will count. Submitting more than one
specimen will not increase any score. There will be a special bonus for
every 25 items you find!
Items must be brought to the pumpkin receptacles at the common boards,
so that items turned in are credited to the proper team and individual.
The pumpkins are not trash cans, so do not indiscriminately dump items
that do not match the description. A person who overflows the pumpkin
will be penalized.
The individual contestants will be rated according to their size. There
will be prizes for several categories of mortal sizes. There will also
be a reward for unique items (items only found by one individual).
The costume shop in the Mvsevm of Events will be open for business
while the scavenger hunt lasts. Don't forget to dress up!
For your convenience:
"help scavenger_event" will give this text at any time.
"help scavenger_list" will give you the list of items.
DISCLAIMER:
On a donut as large as Genesis, it may occasionally happen that an item
is not accepted even though upon casual inspection it looks exactly
like the description on the list. The AoE office is quite certain that
the list does not contain typos, so if this happens it means that there
is another item with exactly the same name elsewhere in the realms. The
AoE team may - at its own discretion - decide to accept such items upon
inspection. However, pay close attention to the descriptions. There is
a difference between a grAy mouse and a grEy one.
Happy Hunting!
