Challenge Results – PIE IN THE SKY

The results of this challenge are listed below. Voters are now tasked with choosing their winner and casting their ballot at the Gaardian public hall located 4sw.

The prize pool started with 5 Trivia Point Tokens. The Judges’ Choice was sacrificed and the prize pool base was increased to 6 Trivia Point Tokens.

Each player started with 50K to begin their acquisitions. Etadan began with an extra 20K as her starting advantage.

In Part One -

Justa got hustled for pretzels and 0 eligible pies to sell.

Etadan led with a starting advantage as a Returning Unrealist. She continued to dominate and collected 11 unique pies.

Spank may have gone awol or mia?

Thayaric bought 4 pies for 175k and told us all so we don’t feel bad about breaking confidentiality.

Zealus bought one pie for min bid, 105 gold.

In Part Two -

Thayaric resold his pies and still ended with a loss. He returned 0 gold pieces for the prize pool.

Etadan sadly experienced death of her link… no gold has been returned for the prize pool, yet.

Zealus unfortunately experienced auction retention as his single pie was not bid upon. He returned the 49,895 gold remaining from the starting budget.

Justa had no pies to sell and attempted to recover by mustering donations.

Stay tuned for updates!

Challenge #2! PIE IN THE SKY

This challenge is a TEAM challenge.

Players returning from Challenge #1 receive a starting advantage in this challenge.

The prize pool for the winning team (determined by public vote) is starting at 5 Trivia Point Tokens, and will be increased by the end of the challenge through the efforts of contestants.

Each Team Captain will be given 50,000 gold pieces at the start of the challenge. The teams will then have 45 minutes to collect as many unique manor pies as they can. Teams may opt to use their own personal funds to acquire pies, the 50K is just a starting kick in the pants.

At the end of the collection portion of the challenge, judges will verify the teams’ collections, note their acquisitions and then the auction portion will begin its duration for 45 minutes.

During the auction portion of the challenge, teams are tasked with raising as much gold as possible by SELLING the pies they have just collected.

At the end of the auction portion of this challenge, Team Captains will turn in their funds from their pie sales. A portion will be added to the Champion Prize pool to be awarded at the end of the competition. The rest will go to the Prize pool for this challenge.

A note will be posted on the Games board with a recap of teams’ performances including how many pies they collected, how much gold they have turned in and the gold/pie average of their team. It is then up to the public to vote for the winning team. Is it the team that collected the most pies? The team with the most gold raised? The team with the highest gold/pie average? The team that looks best in tulip skirts?

Voting will be open for 6 hours. Judges will also select their choice team for best performance. The judges choice team will receive an additional 1 Trivia Point Token per team member, which is NOT taken from the main prize pool.

Unreality Participation Credits will be awarded to all contestants and will flow upon the winners!

Funds raised as gold will be converted to Trivia Point Tokens at a rate of 4.25M/1 TP.

Challenge winners may opt to receive their payout as Trivia Point Tokens or as gold.

The prize pool beginning this challenge is 5 Trivia Point Tokens. The winning team will receive 5 Trivia Point Tokens plus the portion of funds raised that are distributed at the end of this challenge.

The winning team will be determined by public vote. The results of the challenge will be announced on Games board and the public vote will decide which team has won based on their performance in both the item collection and auction portions of the challenge.

The judges will talk to each team after the voting has begun and deliberate to select the judges’ choice. The team that wins judges’ choice will receive 1 Trivia Point Token per team member.

An MVP may also be chosen by the judges for outstanding performances by individuals. MVPs will be awarded an additional 1 Trivia Point Token.

Welcome weary traveler, to our first stop on the Staying
Alive!for now, tour. Behold the intrigues of Deathtrap
Dungeon!
Located on the Continent of Mesolar, this elusive area is
concealed within the ramparts of the Underdark.This area is a Dungeon, which is under the domain of the Overlord
Just like it’s sister area, it is rampant with loathing and
aggression, where you have to watch your back depending
on which talents you dabble in.
You start off in the Chamber of Darkness. Sure, it’s only
sort of creepy, but the glowing, foreboding glyph which
catches your gaze is enough to confuse your thoughts and
terrorize your imagination.
Somebody needs to clean up this area, because there are
portals littering the floor, each contain separate routes,
refuges for six of the classes, a field of bloodshed for the
seventh, in which each trace back to the comforting
entrance, or the inevitable terror of’the Dungeon’
Alimnar, a soul confined to this perilous realm, offers
trivial advice, leaving you to tread this desolate terrain,
your best equipment is bravery
What better way to be a hero than to kill the
OVERLORD,  but first  a blessing from a healer of
the highest order should be in order. there that’s the
spirit  after all they should be willing to help those
that are there to help them right?   then its off to the
first face of killing.  its always a mind game  and we
all have a little inner child in us we must find.
usually the biggest mind has the biggest child like
behaviors.  once you finished with the battle of wits
its time to continue on your quest to kill the overlord.
you should always look out for magic  no not her
cooking but the real magic  when you find one worthy
share your inner child with them  and perhaps they
will cover your feet return to the soul of the matter
and show him how well your feet is protected. He
wont like that very much  the soul never does   did
you bathe your feet?  after you fight fire with fire  take
your prize and go to those who live and die by the
sword  show him your scars of battle  he will laugh at
such small scars  kill him take his dignity and go ye
forth and flaunt your treasure to the strongest healer
repent your sins and become the gifted yourself.
then continue on your journey into the soul of the
matter  give him the covers of your body so you can
show your true self to the next healer  who might
heal those scars we talked about earlier.  once that
is complete  the danger has only just begun because
the soul is blackened you fight  so much blood so
much killing and looting  over and over step by step
until finally ….you are sent to the dungeon    all this
and you still haven’t faced the overlord.  are you
scared?  more murder is on your plate, guards ,
captains , sleeping guards ,drunk guards, broke
guards, and yes even elite guards fall prey to your
dastardly deeds……until the southern wind blows
then you must finally face the overlord….can you
defeat him? only time will tell.

The sound of the crowds roaring in the distance clues you
in; the Gladiators have begun to fight again!
Whew, after all that vagabondish wandering, I think it’s
time for another pit stop! This time we’re headed to
Gladiator’s Arena!
This next region is especially dangerous, depending on
what destiny you’ve planned for yourself.
This area protrudes off of an island which appears like a
pimple in comparison to the rest of Uncharted Oceans.
Wowwhat a Perfect Road we’re standing on, it’s
aesthetic quality is so extravagant, I know there’s nothing
that could ever make me leave this spotOh my Lasher,
look at that shiny, huge dome!
I swear, nowadays you’re being charged for everything
you do. You’re charged movie theatre prices to watch the
bloodshed, and the refreshments are way overpriced.
What a society.
The man who is hired as the Arena guard,  is brimming
with muscularly sinew, you would think he was well off,
but upon interaction he begins to inform you of quite the
perfect sob-story.
But you want in, so you might as well give him what he
wants
Being that this is a Gladiator’s Arena, this area must be
hosted by some Emperor, who had created this area out of
whim. Now, you must only find where this man is hidden,
and deduce exactly what his demands are, and
perhaps you shall  be rewarded with all the splendor of a
Champion Gladiator
Now here is a place filled with fun . if your fun is
death at every turn, running from person to person
acting as fido delivering what you kill over and over .
Ohh a huge huge hint here , do NOT try this unless
you’re at least seven lives into your birth  be as
strong fast and hearty as you can be ,  though having
friends hanging back at the fort doesn’t hurt, trust me
you’re going to need them for this journey. . if it isn’t
one thing its another from peasants bossing you
around to royals scoffing at you.  its worse than
being stable boy for donkeys.  then if that isn’t
enough other players  even those you call friend are
lurking in almost every room waiting to slow your
progress, backstabs, blinds, terminations, poisons .
Ohhh don’t doubt me here but people will stop at
NOTHING to stop you from reaching your goal, all
for the portal to get you there quicker? Nahh only
those strong of heart need apply here.  its the one
place on the mud that your friends become better
enemies and your enemies become your nightmare.
lets not forget why you’re even there….your name
will be fido  and this place is so bad  that by the time
you do get good and into your journey  you have to
fight the IMMs….pick wisely your life because
depending on that “tier” in your eye is which IMM you
will face…..horror  …its simply WRONG what they do
to you here….did i hear someone say fido me more
jades? crap…….to late….where’s that clan recall at
again?

Blood flows freely throughout the shadowlands as the oni
turn their gazes toward you.
Congratulations, you’ve made it to our final deadly
destination, Rokugan, the Shadowlands
Alagh, the Blood Lands, is the continent which has
mothered this  barren expanse
Upon the Edge the Shadowlands, the looming stench of
death and death yet to come infiltrates your nostrils.
This land is riddled with vengeance, wrath, rage, and
destruction. There is an enemy on every side, so be wary
during this exploration.
The Fu-Leng, a wicked, savage creature has executed
violent acts upon this realm. In retaliation, the champions
of this realm have gathered together to smite their tainted
foes, which consist of skilled skeletal combatants.
Fu-Leng is the ultimate evil.  His soul, once trapped inside
the 12 black scrolls, has now been released. With his reign
of terror comes the death to all that exists.  Legend has it
that only the 7 thunders, led by a monk can defeat him.
These champions represent beasts of mythical strengths,
who have achieved unmatched potential in each of their
separate abilities.
These samurai are citizens of the empire of Rokugan, war
is a paradigm which plagues this location, each faction is
pitted against each other for absolute authority. With such
a division in such a powerful empire, no wonder why the
greatest forces of evil choose to concentrate here
The Nagas are defenders of this realm, who exist beyond
the arrogance and pride of the Rokugan Samurai, upon
chance, you may stumble upon one who may share his
wisdom to help you deflect the apocalyptic forces.
Have you ever really not wanted to go to a place but
had no choice? This is one of those places  the
maze is so rough its like walking in at 2:00 AM drunk
only to realize you’re in the wrong house and you’ve
busted your kneecaps running over things. Accept it
you’ll be here for a while,  all those clans  dragon
crab lion unicorn phoenix  just to name a few we
have to kill them all then the Onis  five times in one
day?  for what?  glory? fame? fortune? Nah, just the
right to be able to skip the bad part of town the rest
of your life on Aard,  beware though it isn’t as easy
as it seems, only the strongest and the brave go
against the Bruce Lees of the mud  do you have your
tiger paw ready?  I hope so you’re going to need it.

Unreality Modified – Off We Go!

After receiving underwhelming response of interest in the initial announcement of this competition, it was time to go back to the drawing board. Certainly, some elements of reality competition are precious and must be preserved, but alterations were needed to make this contest more Aardwolf friendly.

The most notable change is in the contestant makeup. Instead of one group of contestants competing to a final vote-off, each challenge will recruit players that are able and willing to play at the time of the event.

Each challenge will award Unreality Participation Credits to all competitors and winners. UPCs will be tallied throughout the competition and the top scorers will be put to the public vote one final time to select the Unreality Champion.

This means that the total prizes awarded in gold and Trivia Point Tokens will be higher throughout the competition. Winners of individual challenges will be awarded greater prizes and the final Champion prize will be scaled to the winning voters total Unreality Participation Credits.

Let the Games Begin…Soon!

A real mouthful of a competition that will pit the wits of players against one another in an unpredictable battle until only one is crowned champion.

CONTESTANT STATUS: ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. Submit to Gaardian on Personal Board. Applicants must have at least 48 hours online, no other character traits are required. Some challenges will require contestants to be online and active for a number of hours. These events will be scheduled to the best convenience of all involved.

JUDGES’ PANEL STATUS: ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS. Submit to VelvetLies on Personal Board or contact directly for more information. Judges’ responsibilities include evaluating and expediting contestant performance in each challenge, providing feedback and maintaining details and functioning of the overall competition. Judges may serve a permanent or guest judge seat on the panel.

CHAMPIONS PRIZE POOL: CURRENTLY UNDETERMINED. The prize pool will begin with an initial pot determined by the total number of accepted contestants. Certain challenges will raise the prize amounts. The top 3 finalists will receive prizes awarded as trivia point tokens or gold pieces at a value of 4.25M per trivia at their choosing.
