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

    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 :p



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

    DeV.

    Oh a scavenger hunt!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭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 :p

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


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭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.... :)

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


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

    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


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭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 :p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭AirBiscuit


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

    Ah but it doesn't matter what you currently have ;)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,161 ✭✭✭Sarn


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


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,151 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


    100% yes.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭BlandKitten


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 284 ✭✭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.


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,151 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 459 ✭✭killerhitman

    Edit: its the name of the team


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 841 ✭✭✭BlandKitten


    anybody want to join my team: Bendover

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭AirBiscuit

    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,992 ✭✭✭Korvanica

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


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,950 ✭✭✭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?


  • Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 17,151 Mod ✭✭✭✭cherryghost


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

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

    Blank inventory is cool.

    Is it our world though?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


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

    DeV.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,407 ✭✭✭Promac


    I'll get the headset out then!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,387 ✭✭✭✭DeVore


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

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