The Shire Riddle Run, part 3!
| Date: | September 10th, 2012 |
|---|---|
| Time: | 19:30 British Time/20:30 Central European Summer Time (2:30PM Server Time) |
| Location: | The Mathom House, Michel Delving |
Event details:
This is a treasure-hunt type of game. Teams will gather at the Mathom House in Michel Delving for the start signal.
- Hobbits can start alone or in teams, but teams of a maximum of three (3) people are recommended (the riddles are easier to crack in a team!)
- Each team will be given the same riddles to solve, all of which point to spots in the Shire.
- The teams then run to these spots, where a Hobbit volunteer will give them an item to collect. The spots do NOT need to be taken in order.
- After the team has found all spots, it then needs to find the last spot, where the finish line will be.
- The first team (or first three players) to find all spots, bring all their team-members to the last spot and hand the items in to Carme win prizes!
There might also be extra prizes for best-coordinated team (matching mounts counts!), team spirit and other things!
Hobbits are preferred but all other shapes and sizes are welcome too - just prepare to be out-smarted by the locals!
Early signups are preferred in case the interest is too great. Send your team setup in an in-game mail to Carme as soon as possible.
The starting signal will be given about half an hour after start of the event to allow the teams to gather/announce themselves (we are keeping a list!) and the rules and riddles to be announced. Start of the race itself will be about 20:00BST/21CEST.
The run itself will last for one hour, after which the end point of the race will be announced in /Regional to call in all the teams. If no team has found all spots until then, the teams with the most mathoms win.
Mounts/pony travel, run speed buffs, talk between teams and any other methods of cheating are ALLOWED! As is giving out false hints - so watch out you Hobbits :)
The only thing we frown upon is giving out answers to the riddles in public channels or /say. This will earn your team a disqualification and we DO have backup riddle points...
