Welcome to Divergence's New Year's Celebration Event! What is it? Why, this event is a specialized quest event. Five teams of two will have exactly 24 hours to post the best quests they can come up with. Each team will have one thread, which will be graded after 24 hours. The people grading will team up and decide which quest is the best quest, and what poster deserves what rewards. That said, a FAQ:
Didn't an event like this happen before?
Yes.
What are the rewards?
Same as any other event: the better you do, the better your rewards will be.
Will I get a reward even if I don't win?
Yes.
Can I participate if I'm already involved in another quest?
Yes, because it only takes 24 hours to complete.
What about if I'm in mainplot?
I'm going to say yes.
What about my hacks?
No.
Ok, so how do I sign up?
Simple. The first five teams to PM me the correct answer(s) to the following riddle are in:
| QUOTE |
Fill in the blanks and answer the question:
If Who's on first, then _____'s on second, _____'s on third, _____ plays left field, _____ is in center field, the pitcher is _____, Today is the _____, and the short stop is _____. Which position is missing from the nine-man team? |
Ooh! Ooh! I know the answer!
Good. Don't post it here or I will eat your soul. Don't PM me either, unless you actually want to sign up.
Do we make our own threads?
Yep.
...in what server?
Either one, just PM me with a link to your quest.
Is there any predefined story?
Nope.
Sweet! When does the event start?
Sunday, December 31, 2006 at 3:00 PM EST.
When does the event end?
Monday, January 1, 2007 at 3:00 PM EST.
That's such a small window, though!
It's 24 hours: that's kinda the point.
Ok, then why 3:00 PM EST?
Because I'm in EST right now and the rest of the world revolves around me?
Oh, well, I guess that works.
Ha! Well, isn't this interesting?
Wait, what? No! Confound it!
What's wrong?
You- I- WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
Honestly, don't you read 8-bit theater?
Yeah...oh. Dang, what a direct rip-off.
Yep.
Ok, now that that's out of my system, let's get this under way!
TEAMS SO FAR:
Sekai & Ko_Inuyasha
Fuzzhead & Reinier
Post any and all questions or comments you may have in here, please. ^_^
Pinned. You're welcome. ~N
Please and thanks. -J
I find myself at my uncle's computer on "AOL 9.0 Security Addition" and no way of logging onto AIM (or other IMing system) to get a partner. :(
Reguarding the riddle, I think I know of two positions you missed, but I'm probably just overlooking a detail.
Three!
Two!
One!
Happy New Year! Er, that's not it. Wait, wait, wait, that's right: GO!
Oh and yeah, signups are closed. You can still participate if you really want, it's just it won't be official and your reward will probably be in the form of levels and not rares.
And as for the riddle:
| QUOTE |
If Who's on first, then What's on second, I Don't Know's on third, Why plays left field, Because is in center field, the pitcher is Tomorrow, Today is the catcher, and the short stop is I Don't Give A Darn.
The missing position is Right Field - never defined in the Abbott & Costello routine. |
EDIT: Since no one seems to be
quite ready yet, I'm making a slight change in the rules:
- QUESTS MUST BE STARTED BY MIDNIGHT, EST (GMT -5).
- QUESTS MUST HAVE THEIR LAST POST UP WITHIN 24 HOURS OF THEIR FIRST. ANYTHING EXTRA WILL NOT BE INCLUDED IN GRADING.
Also, if you're still interested and have a team, just PM me with you and your teammate's name and get posting (no signups will be accepted after midnight, tonight). As usual, we have our annual Divergence New Year's chatroom. The title of the room is:
divergencenewyearschat
If you know how to get in on your own then do so, otherwise please PM me to get an invite.
