Well... this is all Tuner’s fault, ofc.

He pm’ed me, complaining, sweating would be sooooo boring atm and whether we couldn’t have another fruit/stone/dung walking contest, maybe?

So, plz direct all complaints at him. (You also might +rep him :).)
Special thanks go to Oleg.

Anyway, we cooked something up. Hope you’ll like it and consider joining in.
And someone will get a little nice present right in time for the upcoming holidays. :yay:

Rules

O.K., here’s in short how it goes:


A) If you find some fruit, stones, or dung, take a proper screenshot.

B) To be a valid entry, your screenshot must contain

1. the open map with the position of your avatar;

2. the open loot window with your find;

3. the pick-up message, generated from the system in your Main Chat window;

4. the coordinates of your avatar (press »P« on your keyboard);

5. the current timestamp (press »U« on your keyboard).

All Chat messages must be readable.

C) Your screenshot must be submitted within 24 hours of the date and time of the timestamp, and before December 19, 22:00 MA Time (according to the PlanetCalypsoForum timestamp).

D) Do not edit any posts that you submit as an entry. :wise: Entries that have been edited will be disqualified. For each find, only the first posting counts.

Good luck to all, and have fun!


Here is how a valid screenshot should look like:

Determining Who Wins

Think of your finds as playing cards, where the resource constitutes the suit and the quantity constitutes the value.

pmureloadedcards.jpg


E.g. Dung24, Bruk33, Papp118.

We will build a stack of cards from bottom-up.

The participant with the top card at the end wins. The participant with the card right below the top card (the second top-most card) will be first runner-up. Asf.

We start with a secret card that will be revealed after the contest is over.

We then use a well established principle with card games all over the world. You can put a card on the stack, a) if it has the same suit as the current top card, b) if it has the same value as the current top card, c) if it is a Joker card. Otherwise, your find will be discarded.

There will be three Joker combinations in this game, which are also secret and will be revealed after the contest is over.


A short example.

Secret starting card: Papp26
Secret Joker cards: Bomb14, Dung40, Trut56

A finds Bruk30 discarded
B finds Niss18 discarded
C finds Papp20 and goes on top (Papp on Papp)
B finds Dung33 discarded
B finds Bomb20 and goes on top (20 on 20)
A finds Niss54 discarded
C finds Haim44 discarded
C finds Dung40 and goes on top (Joker card)
A finds Dung65 and goes on top (Dung on Dung)
B finds Niss42 discarded
C finds Papp122 discarded
C finds Rut14 discarded
Event ends here because time has run out.

A is the winner, because his Dung65 is on top.
C is the first runner-up with his Dung40.

The stack looks like this in the end (from bottom to top):
Papp26 - Papp20 - Bomb20 - Dung40 - Dung65

Prize(s)

pmureloaded1stprize.jpg



Atm we have only a 1st prize... Vehicle will be full-TT, btw.

However, we’re positive to collect a little more before the event is over to give out as prizes for the runners-up. This post will be updated accordingly.

Any donations are very welcome. We’ll take all kinds of things, e.g. your odd extractor collection, hangar parts from VU’s long gone (Squidfish!), Mr. Huggies, even Calypso land deeds. :o:


Participants from all planets of the Entropia Universe are welcome to this contest. However, it may take some time to work something out how to get a prize to you in case you won something, if you’re not from Calypso.


UPDATE:

Special prize: Chiton + Sandals (M or F, depending on the winner’s avatar) + Herb Box, sponsored by TunerS

Thank you. It’s definitely appreciated. :)

Will be awarded to the participant who has the most cards in the stack at the end of the contest.
Tie-breaker: If there are more participants with the same top number of cards in the stack, the prize will be awarded to the one whose first card came earliest (i.e. the one who has the card deepest in stack considering all contenders for this prize).


UPDATE2:

Special prize: 10 PEDs for the first Rutol find as posted within the contest, sponsored by hoolifan

Thank you. It’s definitely appreciated. :)

Q&A

What about the secret starting and Joker cards?

The secret starting and Joker cards have been predetermined.

A screenshot of them was made with Oleg as a witness/judge with a timestamp that shows, it was taken before the event started. The screenshot will be posted after the event ends. If needed, Oleg can run a check whether any manipulation has occured. Ofc, nobody has the intention to foul up this event. We want to have some fun and give out some prizes. :)


Why are the starting and Joker cards secret?

To keep you in the dark. :laugh:

Well, it’s obviously much more difficult for participants to try and manipulate, if they don’t know where to shoot at... Just keep them finds and screenshots coming. We will sort out everything at the end.


In which order are the cards played?

Relevant is the order of posting (i.e. ascending post number).

If there are more screenshots than one in one post the order is according to English reading usage: left to right, top to bottom.

The Chat window timestamp (time of the find) is not regarded.


Didn’t you mix up the pix of the 1st prize choices?

Actually, no. The »Truck« is a RockTropian helicopter with the same stats as a Gungnir MkI (L), and the »Helicopter« is a RockTropian truck with the same stats as a Saehrimnir MkI (L). Nothing wrong with that. :laugh:

You may check them out in auction to see for yourself, and you may read up about it in this thread.

My qeustion: why the starting card and joker cards are secret? This may lead to manipulation of the contest. I see no reason why it would not be stated right from the start of the contest. Or at least make those secret cards generated in the day of the end of the contest based on some random real world lottery so everyone would be sure it was not manipulated. Of course it is just my wish and your contest so it is your call here ;).

I try to answer this and further questions in the Q&A post.

A random generator wouldn’t quite be the best of choices, imo. If it generated e.g. Rut119, Dung99, and Haim133 as Joker cards you may as well have no Joker cards at all...


170 brukite ;)

Please don't hate me :laugh:.

Nobody hates you. Everything under 200 Brukite is acceptable. :laugh:
