Newbie Event With A Prize!

[J. Mandrake]

Hello all! I am doing an event (don't know whether or not to charge a very small fee or not to keep me from losing to much, probably won't though) for new players to gather TPs and prizes!

The contest will be a "find it"/race! I have been spreading out sweat at certain locations (near TPs) across Eurodia, and I will give a hint to the placement of each one, then it's up to you to find it! I'm not quite sure about the details yet, but here's the basic rundown:

You and a teammate (preferably a mentor, if you don't have a mentor or your mentor doesn't hunt, a society mate or friend should do) will start at PA, and at "GO," you will begin the race! I will have a list of the TPs you will run to. Once you get to the TP, you will use the clue posted here to find the item. I will be at the hiding place, so I can make sure no more than one is taken per team and that each team collects the sweat. At the final 'checkpoint' I will be there to see which team shows up first. I will award prizes according to the place the team is in.

Rules- Yes, some people will cheat even for a small prize!
1. I must see you collect the item! If I am not there when you are, you are either too far behind or have teleported, which will disqualify you. I am not sure what I will set the criteria for "too far behind" as yet. Also, taking more than one item will kick your cheating butt OUT!
2. No whining about the size of the prize. This event is mostly to motivate people to get out of the swamp camps and get TPs! There will be a prize fo both players, and it will be delivered.
3. I have to pay the prize. I hereby legally bind myself to shelling out to any fair winners. The only reason I say this is because some contests don't, and the hosts could just walk off if they get bored.
4. BE THERE ON TIME! I will not postpone the event for more than a minute or two for no-shows. Seriously, even if someone tells you your mom is on fire, the race will not be held up. Also, both players must be there at the appointed time.

Prizes-
This part is, as of yet, undecided. Here's how I'm thinking it will go:
1st: Newbie- small hunting set: full pixie, a fap 5, and an opalo (or something along the lines)
Newb's helper: A PED prize of equal value to newbie's prize.
2nd: 10 PED for both players.
3rd: 5 ped for both players
Donations from the community are GLADLY accepted. If the number of people joining is too large, I may charge a small fee (like a couple of PED a person) and add more prize places. So if 40 people (20 teams) join, I might add a few places to which I will award prizes. To help me not lose an ton of ped, I would add the entry fee.

Donations-
None so far!

Time + Location-
TBD

Good luck MD! I may have a few more things to add to the few little bits I gave you in game tonight. Have done a few of these before. lots of fun can be had if enough participate.

I take all new players on tp runs for free. I dont have disciples, and run other society members to them daily. Any players that think your payout is good must be really new. I don't want to discourage the effort, as it's a good idea. I would just raise the prizes, and would be willing to contribute to such a cause.

With ya on increasng prizes, and on the tp runs that you do for free, awsome. But I'm looking for this to be a TP run with a spirit of competition to it, with motivation for those who finish.

BTW, thanks for the donations Johned! Much appreciated!
