Title: Candle Hunt!
Post by: Throbblefoot on July 01, 2006, 09:26:00 PM

By special order of King Scree Fumesmith, in conjunction with Foolish Productions, I am happy to announce the first ever stochastically-recurring Smith Hold Contest.

Objective
Light and float every possible candle in and around Smith Hold.

Rules
1. Go get some candles:
[attachmentid=844]

2. Go find places to float them:
[attachmentid=845]

3. Send me a PM that includes the name of each area where you can float candles, and how many candles can be floated there.

The first person to find all the places wins. If no one finds them all, the person who finds the most wins.

Prize
Customized for the winner and unavailable to everyone else, a teleportation device:
[attachmentid=848]
You know you want this puppy!

Hints
1. You can float candles in many areas.
2. Some areas are not readily accessible. You may need to complete a quest or ask the right person for access.

Happy Hunting!

-Throbblefoot

I'm using an old windows 98 atm with a really crap monitor. No way it can display NWN. Just take a look at this:

[attachmentid=849]

Edit: Is it working btw?

In response to popular demand, I've added a Ten Count Candle Kit to the Fool's store (you can find it in the Bazaar). Now candles have 1/5 the old inventory space requirement.

So get out there and exercise your pyro tendencies in the Candle Hunt!

@Throbblefoot, just a note, the screenie of the prize clearly shows a typo: "whipser" rather than whisper in the second option of the dialogue.

@Chard, like I told you on RoD, a screenshot will NOT show us what you see on your monitor, it will show us what you are supposed to have seen.

I personally loathe typos, they annoy me beyond the extreme. (When they are my own) So I thought I'd mention it.

Just as I was about to declare a winner to this Contest, 420 argues that it should either be restarted or at least extended. We'll give it extra innings - til
this Sunday!

dammit! you guys keep me in suspense! xD i'm glad its only extended, because restarting means i have to resend my answers, which i wouldn't be sure about now so i'd have to go check again! xD and that takes a while

I've just added candles to another area in Smith Hold. If you want to amend your entry with numbers for the new location, send me a PM that JUST lists the new area and the number of candles there. If you want to resubmit a new total for an area you've *already* listed, please resubmit the whole list (if you didn't save a copy of the PM, let me know and I'll send it back to you).

Good luck!

Here's a tip: you don't have to search areas where you've already found candles. These candles are in an area that previously had none.

We have a winner! Elessar wins with a count of 22! He found all the candles that can be placed (except the newest ones that I just added, which I think we can agree was pretty heartless of me). His prize is an item the lets him teleport in and around Smith Hold, making him three times cooler than people who have to walk.

Thanks to everyone who participated! Next up in Smith Hold: new mini-quests, as well as a temporary portal to 420's Mad Sigil Project (http://lucidmagic.net:8080/forum/index.php?showtopic=2392).

A  *seriously* dark horse candidate just pulled into this race, and out of respect for his tenacity *and* his having found so many areas, I declare Mercy a winner. Teleport your ever lovin heart out, friend!
