Okay here we go... LOTS of reading!!! Some of it is actually important so be sure to actually look it through.
Thank you all for your compliments! <3
Like Tungsten said, we kicked this idea around quite a while ago yet I feel really REALLY bad. Mistresskatara, I know we talked about this already but I want to publicly state to everyone again like I did in my first post that she also deserves major props for having had the same idea and beating us
secretive slow-pokes to the punch!
I sincerely hope no feels I've tried to turn any of this into a quest for glory-hogging.
In fact Mistresskatara, I want you to have the
GOLDEN EGG OF AWESOME award:
I know that's a cheap gesture, but it's the best I can do on a forum and I offer it with the sincerest, heart-felt honesty.
I hope that this event is more about the fun of playing it than about me having made it's graphics anyway.
*VIRTUAL BEAR-HUG!!!* ...and lemmie tell ya all, she and she alone has shared with me some great ideas for future events!
coppa do you want us to link (hpyer link) to the pages or would you simply like a list in stead?
All you have to do is copy and paste the web address of the page as it appears in your web-browser and then send that to me via PM. Assuming you put spaces between the many addresses (which you should!) they will automatically become hyperlinks to those pages for me when I read your PMs.
BTW, is there a limit to how far back in the posts the eggs are gonna be? I mean, you said within the last few days, I just wanna make sure that’s the official Hunting Grounds. I always hated it when my parents hid eggs in places I assumed were “out of bounds”.
I wanted you to find out on your own but I can see your point. I've asked that the eggs not be hidden too far back. You can expect to look in the first to second or third pages of a board's threads. But not farther back than that since this forum is SOOO insanely huge!
That would be just evil to make you search like that.
I've got a question though, why did you decide to do away with the other prizes? Was it the information exchange or something else?
The other contest idea I had is not seasonally themed and it has been put on temporary hold for now. This is due to the fact that the prizes I wished to give out
(a life-sized replica of Sokka's warclub and a mini-bust of Zuko) are physical objects and would require me to get the winner's home address to mail it to them.
It's in that information exchange where the trouble lies. I'm sad that the world is the way it is but we need to figure out a way to do that which leaves everyone & their parents feeling safe and secure before the contest gets back underway again.
Monday, April 9th at
9:00am and will close at 3:00am.
Uhm...so the contest will run from 9:00 a.m. > Monday to 3:00 a.m. > Tuesday? lol, I'm a lil bit confused.
Yes. Just like you said.
ONLY if you live in the Eastern US time zone. If you live on the west coast it'll end three hours earlier at
12:00 midnight. The point is, I don't want people having more time to find eggs and PMing their findings after others have been told to stop.
Because I'm lazy,
you should use this time zone calculator to figure out what the egg hunt's times are for yourself:
www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzcVery creative idea, coppa. But I think I'm going to sit this one out. The times are not good for me beacuse of school (by the time I got home I'd only get a few hours, and even then it'd be around 7:30 Eastern so a lot of them would already be found.)
Again, if you live in America and in the last time zone (the west coast) the contest won't be over until until
12:00 midnight. I really hope your school doesn't let out
that late.
Unless you're in college and have night classes... Or you're in a foreign country that's in an inconvenient time zone. In which case, yeah I'm sorry.
Wait, what do you mean "some would already be found"? I was under the impression that you just had to spot as many eggs as possible, and multiple people could find a single egg. Is that wrong?
What I meant by that was... I don't know. I can't find what I said that you're quoting. XD
But I'm sure it was just misunderstanding because you are
CORRECT when you say that the goal is to
spot as many eggs as possible, and
multiple people will find the eggs. You just have to be the person who
spots the locations of more of them than everyone else!
QUESTION: Should we copy and paste the links on to a Mircoscoftwords or those other programs for the lists, then post them up later?
Yes, that's what I would do. Copy and paste the addresses into a word processer program and then copy and paste that list into the PM you send to me.
I'm guessing those of us with
Super-Mod-Powers don't get to play...I mean...we do have a certain advantage afterall...
And I so wanted an
alternatecoppa created sig
That's right.
None of those hiding the eggs can play!
'Tis our fate as BS Mods to shuffle threads, mop up SPAM and never have any real fun.
But you know I'd make a sig for you anyway if you asked
I just require lots of hugz for compensation. XD
I'm now going through all the suggestions that have been offered me for prizes and I'll be posting those soon too.
Thanks everyone!
P.S. Empy- You're idea is actually very cool. Shay- Supa Princess to the MAX! (remind me never to send photos of myself to Splendi XD)
