Watchmen of Aardwolf

Guest

OooOOooO I like that! I have noticed that people do like to do token hunting and they auction them off too! And if they have 2 choices it would be even better. But that would be up to Slants of course Smile

As an aside to that, we could even auction a couple ourselves to get the ball rolling if you will, or if needed.

Ok, final preparations are in progress. Unfortunately this weekend i'm not available - i have to leave town and i will have a rather limited access to the internet. I am however negotiating the next weekend with my wife Smile

. If things go wrong i'll pass the events i'm holding to someone else but i hope they won't.

What we still have to do:

- organize each thing we want to do (this is mainly addressed to the treasure hunt and rewards for treasure hunt) - maybe create a log of prizes given / tokens received
- organize the bare knuckles fight - this one goes out to you Nuala, you can have them fight in their shorts if you wish Smile

- and most of all.. have fun!

Oh yeah, how many leaves are we going to hide and Slants - you have to decide the exchange rate for your enhanced eq!

This would probably be a newbie chase since the eq doesn't really matter to a seasoned players but it will be great publicity for the clan Smile

A note has gone up on the games board announcing the festival.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From : Rumour: <(=Watchmen=)> Festival!
Forum : Games - #5199
To : all
Date : Mon May 24 04:35:21 2010
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a <(=Watchmen=)> Festival!
*******************************

The <(=Watchmen=)> clan want to bring fun and enjoyment to the people of
Aardwolf, so we're going to hold games, contests, trivias and treasure hunts
over the course of the coming weekend. There will be giveaways, spellups
and, of course, a Scattergories game!

There will be an array of prizes including TP's and gold and enchanted gear.

For your chance to participate in bare knuckle fights and to test your wits
against your fellow Aardwolfians, log on to Aard on the 29th and 30th of May.

There will be lots of doubles to keep you busy too, if games aren't your thing.
There will be something for everyone, so log on in!

A festival watchmen have in store
For you some great prizes ready to score
A TP or gold, whatever you will
So come on down to have your thrill.

Feeling lost or need a drag?
Get some spells and a free bag!
Our chalices come with a shot of root beer
Potent enough to conquer your fear.
(or at least your rumbling tummy)

Need a light, a guiding hand?
Watchmen have a burning brand.
For in the dark you can't always find
Those who are willing to be kind.

Did you die and loose your way?
Don't have time to sit and stay?
Send a tell, we will be here
to help you find your body dear.

Watchmen specialise in helping with CR's and occassionally
giving spellups to the MUD in general. If you need our
help, please send one of our members a tell and if we
can assist, we will, or find another who can.

A good Watchmen never leaves a lost soul in need.

I would suggest posting a list of the available eq and the exchange rate on each piece/set according to level, stats, whatever else somewhere so people can check it out--on our general board which is open to the public would be nice. >.> May even get some kind of traffic here...

So people know what's available and whether or not they'll want to join in. :) Probably post a link to the thread with the list on the games board in the mud as well.

But as of yet, I don't see myself doing much to join the activities. The weekends will be busy for me. ><;; Although I can always hide leaves on random mobs, lol.

How many leaves are needed? They will each have to have the clanonly flag removed by a leader otherwise the leaf will not save on a character

Feel free to post the aftermath of the Festival here: how many joined the events, did they like it and so on.

On my part:

- 10 mins of double (yeah, i finally sh'd)
- 2 restores, one announcing day two of the festival and one to thank everyone for playing in the wars
- 5 wars (the clan war was nice, 12 joined)
- 3 spellup sessions - around 12 players joined

Guest

For me:

4 or 5 spellups (about 7 each time on average)

Aardscattergories - only 4 entries, normally have around 9.

Helped Nuala hide leaves (though no one turned them in to her Sad

)

Raffle - only 15 tickets sold to 2 people in total.

Gave away some Testaments (about 5)

Put 2 TP's on Barney (Zengo announced one of them for me) (It was a lot of fun)

Did some CR's (from all the advertising of them no doubt)

Alaken SH'd after I offered spells.

Ecla gave 10 mins of double with a card after Alakens SH.

On a personal note I did have a lot of fun doing this, I was disappointed by the lack of interest in the activities from the general public. I know I am not in the desired timezone, but I started early in my day which was evening MUD time on Friday and Saturday nights.

But if we can sporadically do these activites (wars, TP's on Barney, spellups) it will show that we haven't gone into hiding now that the festival is over. One thing we are good at doing is being invisible a lot of the time.

kroz · Timmy-wannabe

Well, we tried. For me it was worth the effort, time and TPs Smile

I had lots of fun!

And it was great for publicity.

I wonder if it was because it was a holiday weekend in the USA? I didn't even realise it was until JustMe mentioned it to me this morning. Might explain the lack of participation by the Mud.

kroz · Timmy-wannabe

heh, i had no idea that it was the Memorial day. Talk about bad timing..

Charise · Wookie

Yeah, it was... Sorry for not being able to be around much for the Festivities. :/
