    [ 33] Cordir: Memorial Day Weekend Events
    Sun May 22 13:56:36 2011
    To: All

    I will be hosting/sponsoring a pair of events over Memorial Day weekend.

    The first will be a pair of scavenger hunts: One, mud generated. The 2nd,
    manually generated. The mud generated quest will run Saturday & Sunday.
    The manually generated quest will be run on Monday, and will have a theme
    to the items. Both quests will have prizes for the top scorers.

    The second event will be a special auction to be held at noon, system
    time, on Monday. This auction will be for items that are based upon ones
    from 'memorial' zones: ie, areas that no longer exist on TFC, from 1x &
    2x. (For clarity: the item description will replicate an old item. The
    effects will be appropriate to todays economy, but *based* on the effect
    of the original item.) Item effects will NOT be revealed during the sale.
    This is to give players who were around in 1x/2x days - and remember the
    eq of yore - a touch of an advantage, as a thank you for their longevity.

    -Cordir

    For Clarity for our non-USA players: Memorial Day Weekend = May 28, 29, 30th.

    More Info!

    The prizes for the big scavenger hunt will be items along the same theme as the auction: Old timey names, current value effects.

    For the auction:
    * You are bidding BLIND. ONLY the NAME of the item, not its effects, will be announced for the auction. Please take only the bidding risks you are comfortable with.
    * There will be minimum bids set.
    * IF you do not like the item you wind up with, please do not complain about it on a channel that will info. This will only discourage the auctioneer (Me!) from doing such things in the future, and is a big huge bummer.

    [ 36] Cordir: The Seconary Scavenger Hunt
    Mon May 30 11:55:35 2011
    To: All Who Enjoy a Hunt

    This hunt is much smaller, with a much shorter duration. It's theme, is my life.
    There are thirty items to collect, one for each level of mage craft I learned as
    a mortal. Each has specific meaning to me: an event, a place, a life.
    ONE item must be turned in, in person, to me at the Room of Records: the corpse,
    steak, or bag of Vil. The remainder can be turned in, per normal, via the submit
    command. The corpse/steak/bag of Vil is worth an additional TEN points.

    Also, to give value to some ... unusual items I have sold in grab bags this year,
    the following items also may be turned prior to quest end in for extra points:

    The heart of Fennoch
    The heart of Merrick
    Nati's lost brain
    A golden ticket

    ================================================== ===============
    And our winners were: Ink, Sagan, Corri! Two brains were turned in, as well as
    three corpses of Vil. Thank you to all who participated!

    I am glad folks enjoyed. That makes my day. HUGE thanks are due to Natilena who made the auction items, and to Tynian and Tokugawa and Nati who helped me learn the scavenger quest code better, brought up the test port, and provided other support and advice.
