The Great Silver Rush

Recommended Posts

The Great Silver Rush

Running Date: Hiatus (Still finding mods to host it at different hours)

This will be a contest that will run a week long filled with multiple quests and trivia about silver. The prizes for this will be a total of 550k (yes, 550000) silver ore awarded to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners. Stay tuned to this thread for more updates.

 

Contest Times

 

 

Since a maximum of 5 contests are run per day, I'll keep the exact times I have planned secret. However, to make it a little easier on you guys, I will let you know the contests will only run at the start of every hour. (Which means, when it is 3:00pm your time, a contest MAY run, or it may run at 4pm, 8pm, 1am, etc: it will never run at any time other than at the top of the hour). Will prevent the silly kiddies from camping the whole contest. :)

 

 

Guidelines

 

 

The guidelines are very simple. Multiple trivia questions and quests

will be run a week long. For all quests and trivia questions,

a first, second, and third place winner will be named. Points are

awarded based on what place a person comes in. The chart appears

like so:

1st Place: 5 points

2nd Place: 3 points

3rd Place: 1 point

As you can see, it's very beneficial to constantly win contests,

but even if you win first place, it doesn't put you too far ahead.

So keep trying!

 

Also, on a further note, some questions asked will not be EL related,

so start brushing up on RL silver lore too. :)

 

Prizes

 

 

Will make this section short. Prizes will be awarded to only those who

finish up with a total number of points to put them in first, second, or

third place. Prizes for each is as shown:

 

1st place: 400k silver ore

2nd place: 100k silver ore

3rd place: 50k silver ore

Good luck. :)

 

Rules

 

 

1. Rule changed. OMIT

 

2. If you are banned from contests BEFORE it begins, you are

disqualified. That rule will not change in any case (UNLESS

you were acquitted for a good reason).

 

3. There will be a maximum of five different quests/trivia questions

done per real life day. However, this doesn't mean there will

always be five. There can be only one if time doesn't permit.

Any whining about this forfeits your participation and any points

you have amassed.

 

4. No PMs to me or any moderator asking for help on trivia or hints

to where I may be located. That is grounds for disqualification

and probably a nice smiting. :)

 

5. If you're a frequent accused person in the outlaws forums (and you have

been proven to be there for good reason), you may not participate.

This does not apply to PvP related cases (unless you lure newbies to PK maps).

 

6. A newer method to prevent cheating is going to be included. For any

search-and-find quests, a timer will be inserted after the first person to find

me (up to 3 can find me for points). Three minutes after the first person finds

me, the quest ends. This'll prevent naughty little boys from finding me and

telling their friends. :) To make it even out, the hints to find me will also

be slightly more obvious.

 

Times

 

 

The contest runs for seven consecutive days. :) No skipped days.

Since I want to have many people join in, I will give a two weeks

notice ahead of time before the contest week is run. That should

be ample time to make plans for it.

 

Also, to add a small twist, this contest will be run throughout the

day (yeah, I'm throwing out my sleeping pattern) to be fair to those

who don't live near my timezone.

 

Any PKing or PvPing going to be involved?

 

 

None. I don't believe in that so I won't make players go through it

either. However, I may end up hiding on a PK map if permits. ;)

That's at your own risk to investigate then.

 

Any additional prizes awarded?

 

 

That's yet to be decided. If all that silver wasn't enough already,

I may award extra smaller prizes to the harder questions and quests given

out. We'll see. :)

 

I will also award the moderators who help me host the contests (since they

cannot join) prizes just for being that awesome. :)

 

Hall of Lame

 

There comes a time in every ma.. oh to hell with it. This an incomplete list

of cheaters, scammers, Nazi youth, etc, who won't be participating.

If your ban time expires before the contest begins, you may join.

If not, too bad.

 

 

 

Remember guys, this is for fun and enough silver to make you also enter rehab. :)

So have fun and start getting ready!
