THANKSGIVING 2010 EVENT

[petros]

Disaster has struck AGAIN!!!!! An even bigger disaster than
last year has struck the special Thanksgiving Turkey Kitchen
of the Genesis Admin. The sinister thieves have raided again
and this time, they stole not only the turkeys, but the turkey
stuffing as well! In order to help recover the stolen items,
the AoE team is distributing separate rune stones of turkey
and stuffing detection to all who are willing to help. Each
stone is tuned only to find turkeys or stuffings, but not both.

You will find these detecting stones in the common rooms. Each
stone will be tuned to a few items at a time. You should
a target to hone in on, and the stone. If
the stone detects the item nearby, it'll help you find it! Note
that you can only have one type of stone throughout the event,
and cannot switch.

We also need some help to stuff the turkeys, and they must be
done quickly after finding them. If you find stuffings, you
can the stuffing to someone with turkeys to have it
be stuffed. If you are made such an offer, make sure you only
the offer from those you trust. You never know if
they are a sinister turkey thief themselves! Work together as
a turkey/stuffing team to stuff the most turkeys.

Finally, there are special arch turkeys running around that
can't be found by the stones. Try not to them or disturb
them too much, or they may get angry. Collect the whole set
of arch turkeys for special bonuses.

The event will run until 21.00h on Friday, December 10.
There will be different types of turkeys and stuffings, some
more rare than others. Rarer items are worth more points. Stuffed
birds are worth even more points. You can only stuff birds with
the same type of stuffing. The major goal of the event will be
to gather as many points as possible. Points will be given for
finding and collecting the stolen items before others get to them.
The sinister thieves have gotten wind of this event, however, and
may throw in some fake items. Be on the watchout for them!

Your score will be remembered when you leave the game,
and if you enter the game once more you will be able to
continue your search.

The winner and runner ups will be announced and rewarded
in due time.

question:
was your spellchecker's name Yossarian, by any chance?

[petros]

That confusing, eh? If folks have any questions about the event, I'm happy to answer them here. Also, this might be a good forum for folks to match up turkey hunters and stuffing hunters.

[Laurel]

you just seem to have lost a word or few all around that note

[petros]

Ahh, that's just the problem with porting notes from the game to the forum. All the "command" words are gone. Read the note in the game. We'll see about fixing the porting script.
