| KestranaAdmin / Weyrlingmaster Posts : 1537 Join date : 2010-06-22 Age : 39 Location : Pocatello, ID Character InfoCharacter: H'leeLocation: Rank: Weyrlingmaster Each day during the month of October, a Scavenger Hunt clue will be posted here. This hunt will be semi-OOC, semi-IC: each character can participate, but their participation doesn't require that the character stay within a specific IC physical location and the answers won't necessarily be inside RP threads. There won't necessarily be a specific location where you can find the answer to the clue. For example, if the answer to a clue is "firelizard," you could link to a firelizard flight, to the profile of a character who has a firelizard, or to a Reference Guide that mentions firelizards. To participate, get the answer to the clue and find a page on the site that contains that answer. RULES- Only one entry per character
- Only one character per gamer may win (if you enter multiple characters and they get the same number of points - a.k.a., tie - you can choose which character gets the prize)
- IMPORTANT: Don't post a link to the page or the answer to the clue in this thread
- Answers should be PM'ed to Kes (preferably, send all the answers in one PM at the end of the contest since our PM boxes are limited in size)
- Each clue is worth up to three points:
- One point for a correct answer
- One point for finding the answer in an IC RP thread
- Bonus point: being the only character to pick that page/thread for the answer
- The last clue will be posted on 10/31; you have through Wednesday, 11/7, to submit your answers to me via PM
WINNERS/PRIZESWinners will be announced on Saturday, 11/10 (or possibly Sunday, 11/11, depending on my schedule). - There will be up to three winners (assuming at least three gamers enter)
- The winners get to choose among three prizes:
- A fully-stocked holding (like...everything you need to be a completely self-sufficient holder - a list of everything you get will be provided)
- A pair of very unusual-looking eggs (either firelizard or firedragonet - winner's choice)
- A monetary prize (4 Special Marks and 40 Marks)
The clues may vary in terms of what they are - riddles, quotes from the books referencing something specific, etc.
The answers to all the clues will be posted after all entries have been processed and the winners announced.
Note from Kes: The clues are going to be (nominally) in chronological order of Pernese history; they're coming from the books, and I'm scanning through in chronological order in search of clues. But don't worry if you've never read the books! A lot of these you should be able to Google, or possibly even use the "Look Inside" feature on Amazon to find.
