---------------------------------------------

Arkadia turns one year old on May 25, and to celebrate the Arkadia Advisers are organizing events throughout the month. More details on each event will be posted as plans are finalized (see Planet Arkadia Forum for details). Kick starting the party we have this series of AA/ETA weekly events. More details will be added regarding each week's route and regular prizes as we go, see below for the official prizes from Arkadia Studios for our final event run on June 3.

---------------------------------------------

What:

Weekly Teleporter Collecting Runs/Tours for newcomers. If you are not a newcomer but would like to join us on the tours to collect missing tps and see the sights, you are more than welcome if there is room on the runner team, contests and prizes are only for newcomers however. The final run on June 3 will limit the runners team to ONLY newcomers, scans for agility levels will be done before we leave. Classic TP runs, plus vehicles and/or wormholes for the group as needed on each route. A small and simple competition will be offered at the end of each run for the newcomers who make it all the way through, with some prizes being offered by the AAs and ETA. The final event run contest on June 3 will feature official prizes from Arkadia Studios, and will be more of a challenging contest. Regular prizes will vary depending on availablity of items donated and the type of contest on each run, see the prize section below for what's on offer.


When:

Every Sunday throughout the month of May, and final event on June 3. Planned start time is 19:00 MA time, please start gathering if you can before this start time to be teamed. The amount of time needed to finish will vary depending on how many tps etc. For the finale on June 3 please plan to leave a good amount of time open to go on to the end contest after the the run, as it will take more than a few minutes.

Special Notes on the Final Run and Contest: We have a very different and hopefully fun surprise contest planned for this final end of run, but it may take a bit of time to complete, so depending on how long the run itself is taking, we may stop to go to the contest area before fully completing the intended route. The official prizes on offer for this one should make it well worthwhile to take the challenge After the contest is all finished Stave/ETA will be available at the Quarry to offer wormholes to all Arkadia TPs throughout the night as long as there is demand, please see Stave at the Quarry for details on the night.

Due to the official prizes on offer as well as the special nature of the surprise final contest, we will be limiting our runners line to newcomers only please, and only runners and security team members will enter the contest area. See below for the official prizes on offer this week.


Prizes:

A variety of prizes will be offered to the newcomer winner/s of each week's end of run contest (agility of 20 or less is preferred but flexible depending on the number of runners at the end) . Each end of run contest will be decided each week and will be something small and fairly simple such as races, scavenger hunts etc. (except the final contest on June 3, which should be a bit more of a challenge ). Prizes possible to win will be a trip up to see space (in safe zone) and the Arkadia Space Station offered by ETA, a premium membership to Planet Arkadia Forum offered by AAs and Vantastic (forum admin), TT starter weapons/ammo/faps/mining tools/armor, starter Teleporter Chips/all accessories, offered by members of the AA group (special thanks to AAs Morgan Gekko, Lee DeLioncourt and Liosha) and Stave Petty/ETA.

Great stuff Lee! Can't believe it's been a year already!

[Xander Zan Catman]

Happy First Birthday Arkadia Team! You guys should be proud of yourselves. You have done extremely well, IMHO, with your launch and your first year. Although I will always be partial to Calypso, you are certainly my next in line for choice of destination. I even bought a "vacation home" for when I am traveling to Arkadia LOL

Good job guys!

OP now updated with the route for this weekend. We will be heading into the cold Arkadian arctic area this time, where some rather lovely but also rather fierce kitty cats and other creatures roam. Bring your warmest coat and hope to see lots of you there again for the fun. Spread the word!
