UO Second Age

That's right folks we're going to have a crafting challenge.

General Info

This will be a 3 week event. It was originally going to be 5 weeks, however, in the interest of not running in to Christmas I shortened it to 2.

There are 4 classes to compete in
Blacksmithing
Tailoring
Tinkering
Carpentry

Participants may only register for 1 class, this is to ensure the prizes are distributed evenly. There is a maximum of 32 participants per class, so register quickly.

Event Layout

Participants will randomly but put in to 8 man heats. On event night heats from each class will compete.

e.g.

Wednesday December, 11th
Heats 1-4 Blacksmiths
Heats 1-4 Tailors
Heats 1-4 Tinkerers
Heats 1-4 Carpenters

1st and 2nd place from each heat will move on to their respective classes championship and have a shot at the grand prize. If there are not enough participants to form heats, we will go straight to the championship round.


Event Schedule

Wednesday December, 11th @ 6pm PST, 8pm CST, 9pm EST


Event Location

The Dyx Event Center


The Challenge

Participants will show up with nothing (no newbied tools, etc.), you will be inspected by event staff prior to competition. After inspection you will enter the arena and man a station. When the event starts all necessary materials and a book containing the items to be crafted and any other instruction will be placed in the chest at your station. You must craft the listed items and complete any other tasks listed. 1st and 2nd place will move on to the finals.


Prizes

Heat Winners
~ 1st place Small Deed, move on to finals
~ 2nd place Small Deed, move on to finals
~ 3rd place Small Deed

Finals
~ Class Champions will each receive a trophy with their name on it
~ 2nd Patio Deed
~ 3rd Brick Deed


Raffle
~ I will hold a raffle for all registered participants, 1 player will be selected at random and awarded a Clothing Bless Deed (550k approximate value)

If there is a great turnout on donations the prize pool will get ridiculous. 100% of donations go to the prize pool and event materials.

I will also be handing out Door Prizes to random folks such as anniversary timepieces, etc.

Registration

I had hoped to use Challonge for this, however, it does not support heat brackets. That being said registration will be via this thread, please post the CLASS you will be competing in and the name of the CHARACTER you will be using.

e.g.

Tailoring - Teriyl


Please remember you may only register for 1 class. 32 participants per class maximum so register early.

If you have any other questions about the event feel free to pm me here or on IRC my nick is Teriyl

Donations

This is going to be a costly event and I am not an incredibly wealthy man, I will be coming out of my pocket a great deal so any donation is greatly appreciated. 100% of donations will be used to bolster the prize pool and help pay for materials if i happen to run out of the supply I am currently holding for this.

I agree, it is really a breath of fresh air to see a community growing together instead of falling apart. I think I speak not only for myself but also for the other admins as well when I say, anyone wanting to throw player run events will have the full backing and support of the admin team. Let's get-together and make your ideas a reality so everyone can enjoy them.

I can attest to that. Mammoth and team made it apparent that they were on board and willing to help me set this event. Thank you again for the time and effort you put in to this Mammoth.
