ADVENT EVENT - RESULTS!!

Code: Select all

Esteemed fellow Genesis Enthusiasts!!

Oh dear, oh my ... I've been buried beneath a half ton of Lutefisk! And,
as anyone who has ever sampled Lutefisk knows (those that did not die),
it is a dreadful place to get stuck. I, of course, did die. But I've died
many times before, so it wasn't that big of a deal. It did delay me in
my efforts to get this contest wrapped up, though, and for that I will
now swear off Lutefisk for the rest of eternity. Most Norwegians did that
at birth, except for the ones who moved to America. They still think it
is something you eat at Christmas, apparently. Americans ... *shrug*

But I digress ....

Advent is one of my absolute favorite times of the year, and so it has
been my great pleasure to see so much dashing about, throwing clothes
on and off, mad kissings, and frantic openings of doors. Am I describing
some kind of back-alley Cadu brothel?? By no means! This was the behavior
of a wonderful portion of the populace as they travelled hither and yon
to captivate some of our most famous bosses with their style and their
holiday mistletoe. 

Just how many of you participated? Well, there are a good many who paid
a visit to the Holiday Gift Superstore - 176 players, in fact, walked in
and were given an Advent Calendar by our friend Agnus. Just how many of
them went on and participated in the event from there? About one third!
Fifty-nine players actually went and got at least one kiss from an
assigned boss. Oh, the kender couple were so happy to receive all of
that business, and Linee in particular told me just how many of you
decided to sample her side of the store. Fascinating! :-)

Like last year, the Amazons were fiercely protective of their business,
and assisted with any bosses that decided to get hostile with y'all.
Those of you who go WAY WAY back may have sniffed a bit of Nob Narr
in the air with all of that. Possibly a hint of "dusty tome" aroma in
the air? Oh, I digress again ...

Also as before, there were many more bosses possible to be assigned than
there were days in Advent, so you never really could predict which one
you might open next. It required quite the hup-to! to get over to
wherever you were supposed to go as fast as possible. The learning curve
is always fun to see, and most were able to get it navigated eventually
with a fairly stunning bit of efficiency by the end. 

As anyone of you who has ever tried to be an Ogre would know, I am a great
lover of ... numbers ... in the things I set up here in Genesis. And for
this reason, I'd like to go ahead and look at some of the fun statistics
from this event. I had absolutely no idea which bosses would be the
easiest to find, and which would take more time. So, which were they? Well,
let's find out!

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Bosses ranked by average time to get a kiss from them!
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Rommik:     2:15                Maiden:     9:06
    Tarshir:    3:09 <----only 3    Mergula:    9:12
    George:     3:58      got it!?  Quillean:   9:15
    Hylar:      4:09                Sharaburz:  9:17
    Brutus:     4:33                Jasmine:    9:39
    Darryn:     4:43                Fredor:    10:08
    Gakhan:     4:52                Azealia:   10:14
    Deggart:    5:11                Aradan:    10:16
    Dougan:     5:13                Ry'nal:    11:33 
    Thimah:     5:33                Viridian:  13:26
    Raspatoon:  5:45                Drelkhorn: 13:54
    Auntee:     5:55                Cerion:    14:24
    Gamalus:    5:56                Laran:     15:42
    Jaine:      6:15                Athir:     16:25
    Xania:      6:19                Brutakis:  16:38
    Penance:    6:39                Elfhelm:   16:41
    Hendi:      6:55                Arlenn:    17:24
    Johanna:    7:13                Qualthas:  18:23
    Pelle:      7:19                Rommenus:  23:08
    Regliak:    7:23                Atlas:     23:26
    Keleren:    7:56                Thorr-Kan: 30:36
    Mimo:       8:16                Bastet:    35:32
    Nemur:      8:38                Erinys:    40:24
    Merldon:    8:54            

Heh ... well, no surprise there that Rommik, just down the street from the
Village Green, would be easy to find quickly. The standard deviation
indicates that he was actually *significantly* easier to score well with
than his fellow bosses. All those bosses above the 15:00 mark are
interesting to think about. Many were not so much hard to locate, but
impacted by luck of whether or not there was some disruption of their
appearance in play.

Dashing around on average for a quarter of an hour, desperate for a kiss.
What a disturbing and funky situation that would have to have been. I
pity those poor sods. Kind of.

Also - Tarshir! What the heck? Only three people successfully kissed him!
I have no idea what was up with that. Maybe he just randomly didn't get
assigned ... but ... but ... the likelihood of that ... I just don't know.
Did he put on his sea-bass cologne again? Hmmm ...

And just who got the fastest kiss from each of these bosses? Well now,
that's a good question! And ... now we need to get to talking about some
of the winners of this event, and the fun prizes they will have earned.

These lists just make me proud. I mean ... kissing isn't just for romance
these days. It also gets you stones! You could almost say you were ...
Romancing the Stone? 80's reference? Anyone? I digress again ...

But I suppose everyone wants to know just who *WON* the event? I mean
I guess we'd better just average all the kissing times everone got and
see who had the best overall average, right? Oh, and yes, I did finally
remember to grant everyone two days of grace in the case that your times
for a given boss sucked a rusty pipe. Yeah, I threw the two of all y'alls
worst scores into Shelob's Lair. She's not happy. Again.

So ... let's see who managed to get into the coveted Top-10, and let's
see what they win.

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Top-10 Averages for all of their Kissing Times combined!
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    - rewards for #1 ---  : * Title: "Amazon Employee of the Year"
                          : * bonus qxp worth the same as 50 kisses!!!

    - rewards for #2      : * bonus qxp worth the same as 30 kisses!!
    - rewards for #3 - 10 : * bonus qxp worth the same as 15 kisses!

             1. Faery........(0:02:09)  <-- clear winner by 39s!!
             ---
             2. Saya.........(0:02:48)

Now, everyone who participated in the event *already* got qxp for each of
their successful kisses. But these here Top 10 kisser-meisters have been
blessed by the Mistletoe God with kiss exp up the Ying Yang! Holy Hotcakes!!

So that's it folks, thanks for a good time and [record scratch] ..

WAIT, WHAT?? There's more .... ??

  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
   Two Special Achievements!
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

   - Achievement for the FASTEST successful kiss!

First list... Is there an npc called Bastet?
I get a mental picture of Bastet the SU Warrior flinging knives
at lovesick players in silly costumes while they chase her around for a kiss.

I missed a few of the kisses due to time zone differences but dropped the event after Tarshir.

Two unmet players and I sat in front of Tarshir for over an hour with every clothing piece available in the store and couldn't get a kiss. We had to have tried every combination (normal and adult) as well as every individual piece one by one (and multiple if bracelets etc) to gauge how much he liked them and couldn't get the combo.

Aside from that it was very fun!
