I was wondering how many, if any, would be interested in a player led event based on hunting for a treasure. The event itself will be centered around the treasure chest system and I will try to make the hunt itself as balanced as possible in terms of what you will meet where the chest are located and such.
My idea is to put this on a saturday or sunday in the gmt-evening around 6-10ish pm depending on the time where most people are avalible. Please let me know if you would like to see this idea put IG, I have some other ideas related to this event but it will be open for anyone who wants to try, even Toranites ;)
-
I'd be willing to help and/or participate. Let me know if I can help, or if I can provide any of the treasure
-
Sounds fun. I could do it on Saturday during that time but not Sunday. I hope it works out
-
One of my characters might be interested :)
-
Yes! Yes yes yes! I'd love it. Give me more info and I'm your man.
-
Initiative Pibemanden!
-
Nice... would be willing to take part, if the time works for me..
...what is allways a proble, due to my very limited time window :/
-
Okay, the information I have so far;
Treasure, well I still need to clarify a few things before this but I think I have the treasure covered myself, thank you for the offer Shiff I will look you up if I need something.
Hunting, when you are hunting a map would be a rather good idea, not an area for area map but one which actually shows the world. I will try to make the riddles that lead to the right places sort of hard but yet rather possible if you have a map.
Where? Well that really depends on the levels, however I would really like to know who are participating in advance so I don't end up sending a 10-15ish party to firesteep or something like that. So far I have thought about Dregar and Alindor, but I am not really sure which yet and it might change plus I would make more groups if there are sufficint people signing up.

IDEA!!!!
Pibe, I don't think you should ONLY do this for ONE! level range.
Think about it. We have three majors areas where the Level Range is important: Mistone/Alindor/Dragon Isles (1-10); Dregar/The Roldem Islands/Thunder Valley(10-20); Thunder Peaks/Belinara (20+)
Why not set one up for each level range. Each with different things in them for the level Range. I'd be HAPPY to set up the "West" one. I can help with "Cental" and I think you can get the Ravens to help with the "East" one if there is enough interest there.
If not, I think 2 would be good, one for levels 1-10, the other for 10-20 (since we all know MOST +20 people either have what they Need and can get anything better themsselves).
Huh? Huh?! HUH?! Good Idea?
-
Im up for it, sounds like a great idea :)
-
I thought about doing that Shiff, but it depends on the signups, I could make a lot of different trails but it would be rather pointless if it turned out that only five were able to make it then they should run one trail where everyone is challenged somehow.
-
Well yeah, it depends on Interest... Which I HOPE this thread will generate... *eyes the readers*

But you gotta let me know if yah need my help anywhere. If I can't help I'd love to join the hunt as my Alt
-
I am certainly interested in doing this, but it really depends on what time it takes place.
-
Everybody talks and talks about time... let me start:
I am avaliable from 19-22 during the week
and from 19-24 weekends (Friday+Sunday)
btw: Eander is lvl 10 right now
>Xirion>
-
I up for it! Gota love that treasure!
I'm roughly the same time as Xirion, though a lot less on weekdays.
(Travie is lvl 7 right now)
-
I'd love to, but I'll be traveling. Our ferret has surgery scheduled for Friday morning, and her doctor is a five hour drive away.
-
Sounds like a lot of fun. I hope I can make it.
-
Serissa,
Ferrit really can't get surgery, she's a bunch of pixels and code....
Sheesh, some people take this game too seriously;)
-
*Giggle.*
I'm usually available from about 10-17 EDT every day, but not this Thursday. Other than that, I'm open.
I could help with actually stashing the treasures.
-
There (http://forums.layonara.com/calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=3572&day=2007-12-1), I have choosen a date some time into the future to allow people to sign up, please only do that if you are interested in following a treasure trail.
-
This sounds fun, count me in if the time is suitable for me :)
-
Sounds like a fun idea, too bad I can't attend due to a Christmas party I'm already scheduled to attend during most of those hours in RL.
-
Right... I guess I am about to put some of the things into the ground now, so I would like to know what I should aim for. Lots of riddles and a long path to the real treasure or a rather long trip in search of one chest. Please post your oppinions here
-
I like the trail of clues and riddles to the real treasure. its more fun and can span more trips ;)
-
Remember, notes in the chests are not persistent. Unless the item has a tag in the system, it will not be "recreated" when dug up. A treasure chest is not a buried persistent storage crate. Think of it acting more as an ox pack.
Just my 2 true reminder :)
-
Actually you can place a note in there without the writing on it being disintegrated, at least that is how I understood it worked for Eorendil when Caighd was hunting for a treasure. :) But I will test it beforehand, else I will find another way.
-
Actually parchments WILL keep their writing when dug up. Ie you can write on a parchment, bury it, dig it up, and it will still have whatever message. The TITLE will revert back to the default, but the message will not. So don't put any clues in the title, heh.
I'm not sure how it works, but it does work.
((Edit - Too slow!))
-
Well well.. go figure... never worked for me... I shall have to revisit that then
-
Okay this events happens in around 7 hours from now. A good thing to bring for it would be a quill and a shovel. You need the shovel to dig up some of the chests and the quill is handy for sharing the clues with your group with the command "~~speak", just use the quill on the clue and type ~~speak in the chat window and wait a few seconds then the clue will be read out loud to the group.
So remember this happens tonight and someone bring a shovel and a quill :)
-
*Bump*This happens in an hour, I might be ten or so minutes late, just doing some last minute tuning...
-
Hey,
Unfprtunately,allthough it is perfectly my time usually, I will most likely not be able to show up...sorry :(
All who can I wish the most of fun and thanks Pibemanden for running this!
>Xirion>

*Sighs*I will have to postpone this again, I will see when I have the time to run it but sadly I don't think it will be in the near future
