[Treasure Hunt] Pirates vs. Ninjas (Game Done!)
Oh hello! *lights his pipe* I bet you're all wondering why I've called you here *chuckles*. Well truth be told, all these pirate attacks on Mene these past two months have piqued my interest, so I decided to do a bit of digging. While researching some old texts, I stumbled across a pirate called Captain "Bloody" James Napier who, according to the records, landed in Menewsha nearly 200 years ago with a large and valuable chest of treasures. He was being pursued by ninjas from Vile Island (the text doesn't explain whether the ninjas were hired by his enemies or if he had foolishly stolen from them). With his enemies close behind, Cap'n Napier decided to hide his treasure here on Mene, vowing to return someday to claim it. However, there aren't any records to show that he ever made it back. This could very well mean that his treasure is still hidden here! All that is left are these old clues and map pieces that he left behind. Now I'm no spring chicken, so I'm far too old to be running all over looking for treasures. No, no, I'll leave that to you young ones as I figured I'd make this into a game. Well? Are you up for the challenge? |
How to Play: To start, choose a team - sign ups will be open for 5 days. Your goal will be to complete the tasks assigned during each round to earn points. Depending on how many of your teammates successfully complete their tasks in time, you'll either be able to trade those points for a map piece or for clues to find the map piece that will be hidden somewhere around the forums. The first team to collect all 4 map pieces and assemble them wins! Rounds: Including sign ups, this game will run for about 1 month. For the sake of your teammates, please sign up only if you're confident you can be active for the length of the game. There are 4 rounds so you must finish your map before the final round is completed. Each round will last approximately 5 days. However, if your team completes all of the tasks before the 5 days is up, you are allowed to move onto the next Round's Tasks right away. Three Parts to the Game. Tasks, Map, and Riddle Tasks: This requires teamwork. You should assign tasks to one or more team members. They must complete the task within the time limit. Tasks vary on a range of different skills; choose wisely when assigning them. Each team will have a different set of tasks assigned to them. Each team member can only complete one task per week. If by the 3rd day your teammate(s) is still missing and the task isn't complete, someone who has already completed a task can finish it. This will not count towards the missing teammates accomplished task list. (Please credit the made-up task to "the team" or a player who has already participated.) Sample. Create a team mascot Choose a team captain Create a team name and team base For Completing the Tasks If the entire team completes all the tasks, you'll receive 1 piece of the map. If only 60% of the team completes the tasks, you'll receive 2 clues to where your map piece is hidden. If only 30% of the team completes the tasks, you'll receive 1 clue to where your map piece is hidden If less than 30% of the team completes the tasks, you'll receive no clues. However, the map piece won't be hidden until you ask for the clues. This ensures no one will accidentally stumble across their piece. Map: Requirements: Must have some program to modify pictures in, i.e. Photoshop, Gimp, Paint. There are 4 pieces to the map which you can earn by completing all of your tasks or find its hidden location. Once the 4 pieces are collected, you must put together your map and submit it to Jeryck. If you have put the map back together correctly, you'll receive the final riddle. Sample of completed map: http://www.samuitourism.com/animated...artoon_map.gif Riddle: Requirements: Patience. The riddle is straightforward. Somewhere around the forums, a treasure chest is hidden. The riddle will give you a clue to the identify the forum, title, and post where the treasure is located. Sample of a Riddle: Forum: So shiny and pretty and beautiful to look at, here collectors and creators gather to sell and buy their goods. Thread: In the rising sun, shadows all but fade away Post: Sin90 * (5 + 3 ) / 4 = ??? SIGN UPS Signs up will be handled by me, Jeryck. To sign up, send me a PM with the team you wish to join. First come, first served. If the team you wish to join fills up you'll be moved to a team with an empty spot. If all 80 spots are filled, we will create another team. http://www.menewsha.com/img/26518/17...9b2bd49d56.png Follow all of Menewsha's Rules and TOS Especially regarding quoting material that you have not written yourself. Some tasks may require you to copy and paste lyrics, for example. Not putting them in [ quote ][ /quote ] will earn you an infraction. No matter what the tasks asks you to do, you still must abide by all of Menewsha's site rules! Even if you're required to ask many other users for assistance, you may not spam, which includes posting the same message over and over. Try to avoid asking people in threads not meant for general discussion. Be polite and respectful. This game is suppose to be fun. Do not harass other teams, whine, or display poor sportsmanship. (you might actually need their help for a task who knows?). If you need something done from them (i.e. art freebie, changing a thread title) do not bully the thread creator into doing it. If they decline and say no, respect that. It's fine to root for your team. Do not share your account information (passwords) with team members so your team can complete the tasks. Menewsha will not be liable for your decisions to do so. NPCs Our NPCs will be stopping by to watch, however, please do not harass or ask them to help you. They can't and won't be assisting any teams with their tasks. Changing Threads Titles/Polls/Art Freebies Tasks: If the task requires you have [x] amount of people change the title of their thread, the thread must be at least 3 months old and still active. None of these threads creators can be on your team. If the task requires you to have [x] amount of people draw an art freebie/vote in a poll, no more then 1/2 of the amount can be done by your teammates. i.e. if you need 10 art freebies only 5 can be drawn your teammates. The other 5 have to come from other artists who are not on your team. Simply, any task that requires you to have [x] amount of people do something/anything, no more then half of the required amount can be done by your teammates. The other half must be done by other people. Mules can never be counted towards the total. Please put effort into your tasks. Some may require you to doodle a quick picture or to write a poem. You are not required to make masterpieces. Just don't scribble something like "Roses are red, violets are blue, stars are great and so are you" for a poem task and expect it to be accepted. The Judge have final call. I, Jeryck, am the Judge. Please respect my decisions. You may defend why you think you qualify, or offer your thoughts and constructive criticisms. I will be as fair as possible. |
