The Festival of Olladra comes to Stormreach!

[GeneralDiomedes]

I think they are still playing that game, have you seen the current splash screen?

[MysticTheurge]

No roll on Risia?

He probably went to roll on Risia and then noticed that Risia has no players on it. Ever.

HEY! I was there (all by my lonesome, for a solid 10 minutes) on Wednesday morning. Does that make me the big weiner!?

[Furgulder]

Fernia: 6, 8, 17, 20

lmao. at first I was like "doh! i forgot to put my numbers in" and then i read the rolls, and would have guessed none of those numbers

[Quarion]

Here is the long awaited picture of the daggers! Congratulations to all the winners.

[Sir_Lawrence]

After careful examination of all the number guess submissions I received, I have determined that the list of characters below are the winners from the Festival of Olladra:

AUNDAIR has two winners: Obren and Alhoon!
GHALLANDA's winner is: Marrcus!
KHYBER's winner is: Arj!
RIEDRA's two winners are: Sollice and Azden!
THARASHK's winner is: Vanleer!
THELANIS's winner is: Kevall!
XORIAT's winner is: Fael!

Each had three numbers correct and will receive the +1 Dagger of Intimidating Acid later in the month when I receive my shipment from Zilargo!

(If you feel that your number was a winning submission and was overlooked, please PM me and I will investigate it for accuracy.)

I want to thank everyone who participated! To everyone who did not win: Better luck in the future. To those who did win, congratulations! If you would like to see future events like this one in the future, please send me a PM and let me know.

Those are the coolest looking daggers EVER!!!

I want one now just because of the look!

sweet!

Congratulations winners!

[Hammersong]

Daggers look cool, but very WoW-ish.

[Kadagan]

nobody won a para dagger...

[Kulothar]

Considering my loot lately, either I am overdue to win this lotto or I shouldn't submit.. Being the perpetual optimist, I submitted and maybe I can get the one of citric-acid to stir my tea.

Although weapons are nice prises (and this is a nice one), there is a point to non-weapon rewards. Title as nice for bigger competitions but I would like to see something more DM House ruleish. Like, can't you guys make a tome of Luck+1? Just like a str/dex/etc Tome but raise the characters Luck by +1? How about a trinket of something, either Aura (perm) low level spell or unlimited charges of low level spell. Say Aura of eagles splender or mage armor. It would be less useful at higher levels but unique and you have the shards of silver flame already. Other more difficult (or obnoxious) prises could be like the robe of scintillating colors that keeps changing colors all the time and has a clicky of something colorful like hypnotic patern or glitterdust. Tell me that wouldn't cause the newbies to talk (and people other than bards not invite you to parties).

P.S. I spade my Kobold like you suggested.. but now all of his friends throw things at me when I enter dungeons..

[DKerrigan]

Wow...the hardness and durability on those are nice...166|22...to think that the vorpal sickle was all flimsy...

[barecm]

Pretty sweet. However, why have a contest if no one wins the grand prize?

[Merlask]

Because you all will strangle and kill one another (and i don't mean the pvp pit mechanics) to get a 'grand prize' Should have seen the viciousness at the Olympics

[Thundercracker]

Were the numbers rolled ever posted anywhere??

[trptim]

Look at the value of the paralyzer
I would definitately make a trip to House D to sell it

And only minimum level 8

[barecm]

I would be great if they had a contest based on something more related to the game. Pick four random numbers from a die roll? Wow, that is pretty lame. Select a random person in the audience to play a game based on random die rolls... more lame. How about giving some sort of reward to the first group (or guild) to beat the newest raid on elite on each server? It doesn't even have to be a weapon, something as simple as a unique looking color or shape to whatever armor you are wearing. Or, gasp, maybe even a cool cloak (heaven forbid we get cloaks) to show off your accomplishment. Maybe even the first to accomplish getting full favor? Something, anything, based upon accomplishments in the game, not how lucky you are at forecasting die rolls.

I don't know about anyone else, but having contests where hardly anyone gets to participate or is so random it eliminates 99.99% of the population just winds up looking bad all the way around.

That rule would pretty much kill the Lottery Industry wouldn't it?

This isn't the lottery - there is no limit to the amount of prizes that can be given here

[MysticTheurge]

Uh, well this sure seemed like the lottery. That was the whole point.

But you're right, there is no limit to the amount of prizes they could give out. So obviously they should just do away with the games all together and simply mail everyone one of these fancy grand prize daggers.

That'd be a lot of fun.

That wasn't the point of my post. Braddock mentioned that guaranteeing a winner would ruin the lottery industry, which is irrelevant to the situation seeing as how the prize pool is unlimited. I'm not in favor of having everybody win, but in a game, whats the point of having a contest where nobody wins? So they can tease us with the picture of +Sir and the daggers? With the small amount of people that got 3 rolls right, it wouldn't be so bad to just give them the paralyzing daggers, so at least someone wins. Having it so nobody gets the grand prize is like having a scavenger hunt where the items are impossible to obtain. I have to agree with barecm here, the premise of a game where you guess die rolls is just a bad idea. Previous contests we've had like the scavenger hunt were much more enjoyable, seeing as you have the entire server involved in the contest. Granted, in that case the majority of people were able to win the prize, but it was certainly better then nobody winning at all.
