Quest of the forbidden fruit (and dung!)

[sir odd]

Starting June 1st 0:00 MA Time

Quest For the Forbidden Fruit & Dung Event

Register Now!!

Your Mission: Collect the most fruit and dung at CND in a month!

Yes, as the title says the quest will start the start of June and end June 30, at 23:59 MA time. This will be the 'guinia pig' of this event to see if it shall continue to run the next few months. I know, no 1k peds or nice weapons to win but with enough entires and enough collecting you can end up with a fair amount of booty! Rules are quite simple, as stated below...

::Rule 1:: Must register! Those who post screenshots who are not registered will not qualify for anything!
::Rule 2:: Screenshots are to be posted, with only the time required on the screenshot! No time, won't count! (This is to verfiy vaild entries in the event are actually collected during the event)
::Rule 3:: Screenshots should be posted right after collecting, this will ensure a smooth validation process so I don't have to go back and forth between times!
::Rule 4:: Loot window must be present with the fruit/dung collected. This is to make sure it's being picked up for the first time.
::Rule 5:: All fruit and dung must be collected at CND.
::Rule 6:: After much consideration, all fruit and dung collected will be givin to me to store at my place, thus nobody who thinks they won't win won't give their collected fruit/dung. Anyone who hordes their findings will be disqualified! Doesn't have to be immeditly after your find, just turn it in ASAP!

I'm usually in-game little before 5:00 MA time and scattered throughout the day U.S time, so there will be plenty of time to catch me.

Simple to follow, no?

NO ENTRY FEE! EVERYONE IS INVITED!

Aim of this event is for just having fun!

Will be 1 winner in all
Prize will be 70% of all collected fruit & dung!

If you become too heavy with fruit and/or dung, I am clearning space in my apartment to be ready for those who can drop off their finds so they won't be slowed down. These will be kept until the end of the event, at which I'll calculate the totals up and give the winner his or her prize.

Register now, registration ends May 31 23:59 MA time! Just post your in-game name in a reply and I'll put you as 'registered'!

Good luck!

I'll give my thoughts - you have a great idea in having people post their screenshots because what's to stop someone from buying 5k fruit/dung and winning?

Also maybe you want to consider changing it so the winner gets 50% of everyone else's finds. That way you don't spend all that time to get nothing.

This would be a nice event for the "ATM Card" noobs we are seeing. We need to point them to this thread.

Nice idea Odd!
Screenies are absolutely needed to prove the real collecting of fruit and dung in the biodomes (even if I could drop and pick up fruit and dung ).
About the prize I think that a prize'll make the competition more juicy. I could make street pattern set of clothes to put in the prize box

Sounds like a nice contest for new players ... get them out exploring the land and involved. As far as screenshots -- you can lay dung down on the ground and it looks the same as when it is first found, right? I'm not sure about fruit -- seems that has some sort of vine-looking thing when it spawns on the ground, doesn't it? You don't get a loot-type pick-up window, do you? It's been so long since I've found any fruit, I can't remember.

Ooh, one other thought -- are you going to have a central drop-off/storage point, or do you expect them to keep all that in their pocket all month and crawl around like snails?

P.S. I agree with Epic, you need to keep a % for your planning and coordination efforts.

Nope When you actually pick up fresh fruit or dung a loot window comes up with it. When you pick up dropped fruit/dung you don't get a window but a message on the chat box.

Hmm when i read ur idea wich sounds great I came to think of another possibility, how about u give ND or someone tied to CND a number between 1000 and 2000 fruits and a number between 1000 and 2000 dung.

The event wich follows is the objective for the fruit searchers to find a amount between 1 and 2k they think is good, same with the dung. Perhaps screens as well. When they feel they have a good amount they give it to u and u carefully write down how much dung and fruit each contestant deliver. Scoreboard or something here. When time is up well then u give they who have the closest number enterd on dung and fruit the other ppls entries. Lol Im getting confused here as well and sry If I messed up ur idea

[sir odd]

I was aiming for whoever had the most fruits, but I'll keep your idea in mind...perhaps if some odd reason two ppl tie and we need a tiebreaker

Okay, Crazy Space Rabbit, I love that you've taken the initiative and creativity to come up with a unique contest in which everyone can participate. So thank you for all your efforts.

So here's a bump ... and that registration list looks lonely, so you can add my name if you'd like.

We'll have to start having our impromptu dance parties in a dome instead of the disco or c-room. lol

Bumpity Bump Bump Bump ... Crazy Space Rabbit, how's the collection coming along? Where's all the participants?

Just Moonie and I, and we're planetside this week. Hmmm. lol

So everyone else, consider this your reminder to sign-up!
