[Ended] Hide-n-Seek! [9/4/11 at 3pm PST]

[magi]

------------UPDATE!-----------------
It's been taking a while to get this event going, but I'm putting it all together NOW and will try my best to make sure it WORKS! I will be hosting the event at 3PM PST (6PM EST), on 9/4/11, and it will run for TWO hours, so it will end at 5PM PST. After enough consideration of my schedule, I've decided the best day for me to host this event without interruption is on this Sunday.
Furthermore, I am happy to announce that PeachCat has agreed to co-host this event with me! This means that there will be 2 (I repeat, two!) hiders. Players will now have twice the amount of chances to get points, as we will be hiding separately, but we will each post hints to our locations when we start to hide. When one of us is found, and the other hider has not been found, we will disclose a hint to the finder to the other hider's location (ex: Someone finds me, but Peach is still hidden, so I will whisper, to the person who found me, a hint towards Peach's location).
------------UPDATE!-----------------



Hey all you lovelies!
Are you ready for an event?!



What is this event?
Hide-n-seek! I will be in a channel which I will announce with my hint, and I will go stand somewhere in one of the three towns. Once I have found the best place to hide, I will post on the forum ONE hint to my location. After 10 minutes that no one has found me, I will post another hint on the forum. Once someone has found me, though, I will announce that I have been found, and who found me, then go to my next hiding spot.
Edit: Now that Peach is co-hosting this with me, when one of us is found, we will disclose a hint to the one who found us as to where the other hider currently is.

What do I win, and how?
I will have THREE winners, with a different prize each. By finding me, you receive a point, so to win, you have to get more points than everyone else. Simple, right? Now, for the prizes. First place will receive AN ANCIENT ITEM OF CHOICE (excluding weapons, sorry), AND 300G.. Second place will receive 200 Gold! And for the last prize, third place will receive 100 Gold.
Edit: To find me, you must send me a trade, and I must accept it. (If I accidentally decline it, I will let you know if it was an accident and you will still receive the point.) This way, people have to see us on their screen, and be able to click on us, which means they have to work more to find us. Such as if we are up high, you must be able to get high enough to click us so you can trade us. -Thank you Peach for this idea!-

How long does this event last?
Currently, I'm aiming to have it last 2 hours, but in the event that not enough players are joining in, or that I have to leave for some reason, I will make this time shorter or longer. I'm doing the length of the event by time in stead of rounds, this way, the faster you guys find me, the more chances to get to receive points.

Anything else I need to know?
When Peach or I am done hiding, we will post ON THE FORUM, a hint to our location, as well as what channel we are in. The hint post will look something like this:

"MAGI IS HIDDEN! Pull out your flashlights, it's time to hunt them down!
It looks like they're in channel 8!
"This is my hint!"
Quick, find them before someone else does!"

In the event of a tie, I will separate the players by whoever reached that point amount first. Therefor, if the two highest points are tied, at something like 11 points, I will give the first prize to the player who reached 11 first, and give second prize to the other player.
Edit: To implement Peachy's point system, I will award 5PP to EVERY participant, and 10PP more to the winners. (You must be signed up on the forum to receive your PP [Don't know what PP is? Look in the "READ!! Guild Information" section of the forums.])

Another note: my IGN is MidnightMagi, I'm a level 24 Elementalist. Peach's IGN is PeachCat, who is a level 24 Mystic.

Now, I will be happy to answer any questions before AND during the event, so feel free to ask away.

Magi~

This is the list of players (by their ign names), and how many points they have received during the game. I will update this each time PeachCat or I am found, and award a point to the player who has found us. You start with 0 points, and aim for as many as you can get. The player with the highest points, gets the ultimate prize.

Set-up:
Player type:
IGN(Alt) - points

(This is for personal reasons, so I don't get confused)

Hiders:
MidnightMagi
PeachCat

Seekers:
Milk - 2
Surje - 6
Analay (Maybi) - 0
SiCkiLuSiiVe - 3
iPuCyLiCkR - 0

[magi]

The winners are determined on the points they receive. Every time you find a hider, you receive a point, thus the more you find us, the more you have a chance at winning. Prizes are listed in the main post.

First place: Surje! You have won 300g! The ancient item you have chosen is: ___________!

Second place: SiCkLuSiiVe! You have won 200g!

Third place: Milk! You have won 100g!


Remember, just by participating, you receive PPs (look in the READ!! section of the forum to find out more), so even if you don't win, you still have a chance at getting items by collecting enough PP!

[Milk]

I think you should give a weeks notice. It took a while for my past events to catch one (out of game ones)

[PeachCat]

I agree with Milk, I didnt notice there was such an awesome event until a few hours ago. I'm relieved I didn't miss it xD. Sounds like a lot of fun! More competition will make the game exciting Also, would it be okay to add a "Point" prize? I'm not sure since it's still being implemented but I guess a "Point" to everyone that participates. I'll rename the "Points" so there's no confusion.

[Milk]

Also Magi, if you offer any ancient weapon I'm pretty sure everyone will ask for an ancient great sword, which is upwards of 2.5kg

[PeachCat]

Yeah, I was thinking that everyone would just ask for ancient weapons which are harder to come by and far more expensive ):

[magi]

Well 1. I'm totally confused as to what you mean by "point prize"?
And 2. I was going to try and move the event to this saturday, but I don't know what that day will look like for me just yet, I have to finish a few papers and projects before I can get on, so it's an iffy day for me.
3. I don't have a problem with grinding for that amount of gold, but the point was for people to either ask for an item for themselves or one to make a lot of money on. It was my way of making people want to get competitive. But if you think that's too generous, cuz it sort of is, then help me lower it to something less.... crazy? lol I dunno how to explain it

[PeachCat]

Nice update! It is very clear what the event is and everything is reasonable. I'm looking forward to this fun event! :> I hope that many guild members will be able to attend. ^^

[magi]

Hey, when I get back on the forum, I'm going to clean up this thread. I'm gonna make it look better, and easier to read, as well. In order to do this, though, I'm going to have to delete some of the previous posts. I'm adding a table of content and separating information into different posts, so if I don't have room with the few I have already, I'll have to delete some of yours to put my posts up top. Just telling you, so that you don't freak out when suddenly your posts are gone... it's not your fault.

[PeachCat]

No problem, do what you wish ^^

[PeachCat]

Also, you can post a notification of this event in the calendar page just so we have a history log of events in the Lovely guild, or just a memorable thing . We can post screenshots in the message so we can look back to it.

[vsel]

Sounds interesting, hope the event goes well!

Where is mana ridge? -__-, can it be just carderock and ironwood?

[magi]

In the zone before Carderock, there are 3 exits. 1 is for Carderock, and the other 2 are on the opposite side, right next to each other. One goes to ironwood, the other goes to Mana Ridge. That help?
