re: The Great Race: Breeland

0
Hello everybody!

In celebration of our 3 year anniversary the officers of SoD will host a race throughout Breeland for the following awards:

1st – 10 gold, 2nd – 5 gold, 3rd – 3 gold, 4th – 2 gold, 5th – 1 gold

When?

Saturday May 1st at 3:00 pm eastern.

Where?

SoD Kin house is the starting line. Meet there for your first clue!

How does it work?

Once you receive your first riddle you must go to the appropriate location and bring the appropriate item the riddle calls for. An officer will be waiting there for you with the next clue to the next location! You may use any means of travel at your disposal to get to the locations including fast travel.

All of the locations require you to bring an inexpensive item or an item that may be easily acquired. (1 silver or less mostly). For example, if a riddle asks you to buy a crafting ingredient they can be found at crafting vendors. Armor or weapons can be bought cheaply from NPC vendors in Bree.

I know that you will all have a good time and I am certain no one would consider cheating, however, there are securities in place to prevent it and the officers will be monitoring the event to keep any cheaters out of the competition. If you are caught cheating you will forfeit your chance at the prize and will not be helping your reputation any so please let’s keep it fun and by the rules.

What are the rules?

Any form of travel is appropriate.

You must go to each of the locations in turn and we will be keeping track.

Do not deter any of the other members from progressing through the race; no spamming text or any other means of deterring people.

When you reach a location form a line in front of the officer and wait for him or her to distribute your clue by private tell.

Once a clue is said to you via private tell you may not pass that clue on to any other players or put it up in kinchat (besides it would be a detriment to yourself to do so), keep the clue to yourself.

Do not be negative to any of the other players, by putting them down or getting in an argument.

Do not argue with the officers hosting the event or argue about the outcomes, like who arrives at a location first or deserves to win. It will be decided based on the perception of the officer at that location and remember lag changes each of our perceptions of who is in front of whom slightly.

And finally HAVE FUN!!

How can you prepare?

The clues are based on random locations in Breeland. I highly suggest you explore Bree so you are well familiar with the territory. Two big hints on how you should prepare:

Don’t be a chicken (on the day of the race that is. You may wanna get it out of your system).

Every contestant should have another hobby besides racing. One that is slower paced and requires great patience.

If you have any other questions go ahead and reply to this post or ask me when I'm online. I hope we have a lot of fun.

Yours,

Brugo

Congratulations to Celirian, Gwystal, Jasminum, Ashlock, and Otherwise our prize winners. The event was a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoyed participating in it. As promised here is a list of this years riddles and the answers:

Location 1: There once was a hobbit named Bogg, who had to fertilize her sod. Ere her crops come to harm, deliver her farm a handful and she will applaud.
Answer: Deliver a handful of fertilizer to Bogg’s Farm 31.0S, 48.2W

Location 2: Rotten Milk don’t satisfy a feline. Fresh fish would be more divine. Among a score of cats you don’t find many rats. Feed one and on you he will pine.
Answer: Bring a fish to the cat lady’s house 30.2S, 52.1W

Location 3: Production has utterly stopped, for this bovine oddly hopped. A cow on a roof is some kinda spoof, but hobbits need milk so chop chop.
Answer: Bring a jar of milk to Buckland 31.9S, 62.4W

Location 4: In order to please her pups, a mother must find new things to sup. Find a wight alone, bring the dogs his bone and Ellie Cutleaf’s love you will trump.
Answer: Bring a wight bone or skull to Ellie Cutleaf’s House 28.1S, 50.6W

Location 5: Hobbits love for ale is renowned. Three in Bree can swiftly be found. Bring them a drink and help them think, about how to get poor Hob Down.
Answer: Bring any beer to the NW gate of Bree 28.6S, 52.4W

Location 6: An opponent, you will find none more fierce. He needs a sword with which to pierce. Though only a squirrel, he is full of churl and retiring on this isle he fears.
Answer: Bring any blade weapon to the squirrel 21.6S, 42.6W


Thank you to all who participated for making the event such a great success.
