CONTEST INFO:
Here's the fronts and backs of the two letters Morah sent in this week's DDOcast Poster Contest to Stormreach Action News:
This week's show includes our last puzzle sketch needed to solve the contest! If you've figured out what to do, you'll know that your time is coming to win!
Here's the rules: I'm be doing a series of sketches and offering up someprizes for people who solve the puzzle! This contest will be open toanyone except for DDOcast contributors, and will require that youdownload the U.S. client for Dungeons and Dragons Online.* Otherwise,be the first person to use the emote /kneel in front of the person whosename will be revealed, on the right server and at the right time anddate and you'll win this:
Also,1500 TurbinePoints. Neat, huh? A real collectors item.
The second person to type /kneel in front of the person willget1500Turbine Points*. Third person to do this will get 1000 TP.
*European Serverplayers who wish to have their Turbine Point winnings exchanged for agame time card will be able to do so. The intent is not to take playersaway from any particular server or service, but for simple logisticreasons. The exchange offer is for European server players only, as Idon't have the money for U.S. game time cards as well. The use of theemote /kneel while targeting the proper person is to deal with anysituations in which multiple players show up at once. In that case, thefirst /emote listed in the social panel will be used to determine thewinner.
You can hear the sketches separately on DDO-Daily.com. Here's a LINK to Part 1 and here's a LINK to Part 2.
Arovin's burning grease!
