Treasure Hunt. Boards Server Event! [[[ SATURDAY 9th ]]]

DeVore

So, here's the deal!

On Friday next (1st April) we will have a Treasure Hunt on the Boards server. 9.30 pm. The server will be down for a short while before, probably only 10-15 minutes but I'll ask Cherry about that.



The winning person (or team!) will be given a bunch of really nice "stuff" (yet to be decided).



To win you must be the first team (or individual) to call a GM (Dav, Cherry or Me) to the spawn wherein you must have a box (ideally locked to you!) which contains the 10 specified items.

Simples eh?!





We'll see.





So, organise yourselves into teams if you like, max of 4 to a team. Obviously the fewer in the team the more loot you'll each get but then again, many hands make light mining
No changing teams mid event and no shenanigans



The list of things and more instructions will be posted on the evening. Questions?

DeV.

Morag

Oh a scavenger hunt!

DeVore

Oh ... and just to cover off any silly rules lawyers.... we have to be able to open the box. You can just call us to the spawn and say its all in there


DeV.

AirBiscuit

Should be good. Unless you turn around and say "10 diamonds please!"

Shiminay

We'll get the list of things together on Friday - it won't be impossible, but it should be a challenge

DeVore

Examples might be "1 Red Flower", "black, white and red wool", "3 cakes" etc...


Some will be easy to find, some will be easy to make, some will be tough to find and some will be tough to make....

DeV.

Morag

3 cakes feck
we are going to have people trying to chase after cows with buckets.

DeVore

Well that WAS an example... but yeah, you are going to have to do some running around

DeV.

BlandKitten

This is going to be great!
Can we start putting up teams here now? Make it easier if the little bits like that are sorted out beforehand :P

Shiminay

If ye want to organise a team (4 people per team at a maximum) and post details here, that's cool. We'll have the final hunt list available on Friday.

Naturally, you should all have witty team names but nothing foul

AirBiscuit

I have everything for cakes except eggs. Anyone want to team up?

Ah but it doesn't matter what you currently have

Sarn

I don't think I'll be here, but I take it you have a way of preventing people from stocking up beforehand?

cherryghost

100% yes.

BlandKitten

I have an odd feeling this is going to be things we can't normally get in game...

jackoire

Hope ill be home in time for the treasure hunt...
At least if i do make it ill have a chance. Last event i was the only one who could find the house without get tottaly lost :P . Some peoples navigtional skills are terrible.

cherryghost

Treasure hunt won't start till circa the same time as the last event

killerhitman

Netherrack, soul sand, diamond ORE, and something else?

OMG Netherrack/glowstone would be brilliant to get.. something thats impossible to get ingame... you could have really rare stuff aswell... gold/green record for each member of the winning team.. diamond ORE(block not gem, would be cool for decoration) saddles.. etc.

DeVore

You'd all be better off sorting teams then guessing what we might ask you to get or what the prizes might be

Sounds like it'll be fun! I was disappointed I missed the last event so I'll try my best to make it to this one.

same here, missing this one too though ... damn you people having parties! :pac:

nkay1985

Sounds like a great event and I'm definitely going to be on for this one having missed the last one! I'm available for teaming up if anyone's short.

@Cherry: If you have a way of preventing people stocking up beforehand, does that also mean we won't be able to have any tools or anything? Will we just start with a blank inventory?

cherryghost

Blank inventory is correct Which is why DeV is recommending teams and teamwork! The teamspeak server should help communications a bit too

It's possible to set up individual channels on that, yeah?

Blank inventory is cool.

Is it our world though?

DeVore

Its possible to set up different channels for different teams ...

DeV.

Promac

I'll get the headset out then!

DeVore

Ugh..... *talk*..... like, to you lot?

Good question. I think if, for the event, we were on a different world then that would make sense.

DeVore

It wont be a problem....

Damn. Id love to except i clicked the update button...

Xenon560

Is there anyway you could delay it for the people who clicked the update button. Infact I didnt get a choice

Ditto, there was no chance to decline the update for me at all.

Yeah, we'll have a chat about it between us and see what makes the most sense. The only point to running these is to create some fun for you guys so obviously we want as much fun for as many as possible.

DeV.

Any idea when you'll reach a decision? Or if that's not for a while, are you leaning in a particular direction?

I only ask as I've been asked to take part in something in real life tomorrow night but really don't want to miss another event here!

DeVore

I just got off a plane and I've an early start tomorrow. I say we postpone until next Friday and get a good run at it, but I'll leave the final word with Cherry as he is the one who does the server voodoo.... The problem is that everyone would have to be on 1.4 and stuff we need won't work potentially.

I thinking it's best postponed especially as everyone is currently wrecking the place

Yeah sounds good to me and sounds like the best solution while everything's up in the air.

DeVore

POSTPONED!!



DeV.

Korvanica

have it on a weekday!!!!!! :P

DeVore

Ok, I'll put up a thread asking for people to pick a day...


DeV.

DeVore

Right, so, people picked Saturday and this is on for this Saturday, the 9th!

Should be a bit of craic, get a bunch beers and get on TS for a laugh!


DeV.

pablomakaveli

Mightnt be able to make this one.:(

Korvanica

can't make it ....

Promac

Can't make it either - what happened to thursday?

Yep exact same here. The poll result had Thursday, Friday and Saturday tied. Really don't know how there could be a bigger turnout on a Saturday night. If anybody is making plans for the weekend, it's nearly always for the Saturday.

Indubitable

Got some bad news today and will no longer be able to make it. Maybe next time

DeVore

damn, sorry to hear that, if it works on saturday, we'll try it again on a thursday.

DeV.

Morag

This sort of weather I will be out having a few drinks, seriously a saturday?

cherryghost

Well at the time of announcing it, the poll numbers were 11,10,9 for Saturday, Thursday, Friday in that order, so.... people complain despite the majority voting for Saturday? That's democracy for ya :pac:
