So.. theres this douch spamming crap....

Greetings Greetings..

I will be hosting Events upon each server in the coming weeks. I should be receiving ~100 TP codes valued at 500 points each, multiple Flavor items, a few per server, along with a few other trinkets and gadgets.. Details can be found on my site at olathurlandmutts.wordpress.com Feel free to leave comments on the appropriate comment page regarding the event, and ideas for further events


Quote:
Today I bring the news of a Hide & Seek based Trivia Event.

Rulings are as follows:

All Contestants should join the UserChat /joinchannel Events

There will be Clues given as to my whereabouts in the form of "I-Spy." For example, using the clue of "I Spy an Elven Retainer"

     This clue should lead the contestants towards House Phiarlan, as this is where the Retainers tend to be (From the Carnival Adventure Pack)

     The first 5 people to find my Character named HidenSqueak will be asked to stand in a certain area, based on which location I am in at the time.

     ~Marketplace - Stand under the big tent, near the Subteranne access point
     ~House K - Stand near the Guild Vendors
     ~House J - Stand in the Garden
     ~House P - Stand in the Ampitheatre
     ~House D - Stand near the Tower
     ~House C - Stand around the Monolithe of the Bull
     ~The Twelve - Stand near the Lake of Lava

Once there are 5 Contestants who have found my location, they will be invited to a group where upon they will roll a D20 for an Initiative Check. Once the die have been cast, a question will be asked. The questions will vary based on Lore from the location in which I was found. Going back to the Example given, a question asked could be along the lines of "Other than House Phiarlan, which other House also bears the Mark of Shadow?" to which the answer would be "House Thuranni" The person with the highest Initiative will answer first, followed by the next highest until somone answers right. If no one answers right on a question, a new question will be asked after a new roll for Initiative.

The Contestant with the most points, obtained for each correct answer, after 10 questions wins the round and will recieve a prize from the current stash of goodies.


I will perform as many rounds as I can (up to a total of 11 rounds), and dependant upon the Prize Stash. I will then perform one final round, made up of all the previous winners (up to 11 total rounds to prevent overflow of winners) who will have a battle of wits to prove who among them is worthy of the Grand Prize. (IIRC, Cordovan will supply a set of Siberys Sceptres and Robes of Trivial Knowledge to each of my Event Toons on each server) The winner of the Final round will recieve this special item, to show off their "Trivial Knowledge"

     The Robe is currently a piece of armor, however after U21, it will become a cosmetic armor


Time of Event: Currently Unavailable, Pending Receival of Prize Stash, and peak online times for each server.

Id appriciate some assistance from the Vault on this Event. Questions pertaining to the Lore of House Phiarlan, Denieth, Cannith, Kundarak, and Jorasco, as well as Lore on the Devils Invasion(marketplace), and various other places. The locations in which i will be hiding, should be available to a level 1 non-vip character. Thus, all my locations will be Ebberon based, thus mostly Ebberon Lore. Ive been doing some digging on each of the hosues, and have a few questions already, but as said, id like to take some pickings from others brains, not just mine.

Quite an undertaking. Best of luck.
Btw Turbine should pay you (like a part time work) for this instead of some other people on their pay roll.

Are you kidding?  Turbine Community Support?

Olath's event could make the international press and bring DDO into the spotlight, and Tolero/Cordovan would claim they knew nothing about it until some mentioned it jokingly at the urinals a few weeks later.
Don't hold your breath on any Turbine support or acknowledgement - don't get me wrong, they should!

I would recommend Ataraxia.
Something along the lines of how you're relaxing at the Resort Spa getting ready enter the mining caves where a sea troll treasure is rumoured to have been lost.

Don't you have to be 7th level to get into Ataxaria?

For some reason I think Turbine might frown on a player excluding other players from an event.  Although Turbine can do it.

Olath is also going to be under scrutiny to see what happens and that he is not just giving the codes to his friends and guildies.

    inquiring upon the man to have it made.. Cheesy

That s so cool man! Hope people will follow and maybe even get a momentum going.
I suck at trivia but i know people who really enjoy this stuff.
Can someone explain to me what this was http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVE4cnzUEpI and who made this?

Why the fuck did you have to use the retarded [code] tags in the OP?

If you had used the [quote] tags, it would have been way more readable.

It says DMs event so I'm guessing when the DM's/Devs used to do events for players... also it says Japan - weren't they hosted by someone other than Turbine?

Brilliant idea!  Scamming Turbine into thinking you're holding an actual "event" so you can pass out points and loot to your fellow Vaulties!

Wasn't Carrianne doing something like this too? You're not Carrianne, no? Or are you?

Also, I suggest you host it in "scenic" areas - atop a tower in the harbour, near the (now-gone) reincarnation trainer in house J, just outside the bank in house K, et cetera. Also, make sure that the hidey places are in the same instance - you wouldn't want folks with Teleport to outdistance those that don't. And try to limit it to areas where any new guy can go - meaning you don't need wings to get there.

And there should be something in Korthos!
