The Pick-Your-Puzzle Bake-Off - Three familiars on every ocean! Reply to this Post Reply with Quote Event Host: Minthe Participation Limit: Approximately 158 total and 60 per puzzle Schedule Cobalt - Monday, March 17 Hunter - Tuesday, March 18 Midnight - Wednesday, March 19 Sage - Thursday, March 20 Viridian - Friday, March 21 Time: 8pm, PDT Note that the West Coast of the United States is now on Daylight Saving time. Check the current time for the oceans by typing '/info'. Participation This event will not be broadcast. Players will not be jobbed. Tells will not be answered. At 8pm, an event will be posted, accessible on the Notice Board. You just need to click to join. The event is on a first-come, first-serve basis. If you are late, you may have to wait for someone to leave. If you leave, your spot may be taken. The event will be posted for ten minutes. Another five or ten minutes may be added, depending on participation. Once aboard, take your chosen station. Again, this is a first-come, first-serve basis. If you leave your station, someone else may take it. Sailing Stations should be above decks. Carpentry stations should be below decks. Bilging stations will be in the cabin rooms. Rules The bake-off will take place in sea battle. You must puzzle for the duration of the round. Players who are not on a station may be planked. The first round will last for approximately ten minutes. The duty report upon returning to the island is what will determine placement. The top ten for each station will advance to the semi-finals. Players who do not advance may remain aboard, but must remain quiet and may not puzzle. The semi-final round will last for ten minutes. The top three will advance to the finals. The finals will last for fifteen minutes. Prizes Prizes will be given for the top ten spots at each puzzle. First place is a familiar - A parrot for sailing, a monkey for carpentry, and an octopus for bilging. Other prizes will be determined. ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Salmagundi

I do not see any reason for that. Player events are run based on player willingness and availability. Similarly, I am able to run events as my schedule allows. More opportunities is a good thing for the enjoyment of everyone. ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Salmagundi

Re: The Pick-Your-Puzzle Bake-Off - Three familiars on every ocean! Reply to this Post Reply with Quote   Incidentally, for bilge, will this...er...technique be allowed? (Will it be relevant?) I cannot see any way to prevent it. However, the vessel will likely have at least 40 people on bilge in the first round. If the water level ever raises above the baseline, I will be quite surprised. For subsequent rounds, if the water starts to go up, I do not believe it would drop again such that a crab would clear in this fashion. Familiar colours may be chosen. ---------------------------------------- Avatar by Salmagundi
