[Basil Dreadflint]

Start planning and scheming for the second Dueces Wild Scavenger Hunt!
This event is for Dueces Wild Guild members only.
The Hunt will be held on two guild nights, Feb. 17 and Feb 24. Each night will consist of different parts of the list.

Rules for Scavenger Hunt

Teams:
Each team/crew must consist of 4 pirates. In each team, there must be at least one pirate level 20 or less, and one pirate at least level 30 or higher. The other 2 pirates can be any level. I also request that each team have at LEAST one member who was not a DW member when we ran the last Scav Hunt. (I'm devious, I want at least one person per team who wasn't involved in the last Hunt. It promotes teamwork, and gets y'all involved with the new members!)
Teams must be formed and registered here, by posting the team members names, prior to the posting of the Scavenger list.

Chat:
Each team should use crew chat for all in team discussions, and use guild chat to chide, mislead, and generally harrange other teams.
The Vent server will be available, and maybe we can convince our Wench members to allow access to their vent server , too.

The rules:
1) Absolutely NO glitching! Anyone caught glitching immediately gets their entire team disqualified!
2) Proof of accomplishments:
For proof that a scavenge is completed, there must be a picture/screencopy of each accomplishment.
To take a screenie, press the "F9" key. DO NOT press "F12" prior to taking the screenie, since this removes all the data that is on the screen. The data is an important part of proving the accomplishment. All 4 members of the crew/team must be visible in the picture. (For sea battles, I must see your ship and the enemy ship(s) in the pic, And, I must see the crew HUD displaying all 4 crew members names. I know this does not prove that all 4 members are on board, but this is to be taken as proof.)
2A) If you are the person taking the screenies for the Scav Hunt, wait a full minute between screen captures! If you don't wait, they will overwrite each other!
3) The screencopies should be posted here on POF No LATER Than, noon Eastern the day after each section of the Scavenger Hunt. Multiple posts are acceptable if needed. Posts should include the team/crew name, so that I can easily identify who is who.
4) The scavenger hunt will begin at the moment that the list is posted. Each team has until Noon Eastern the following day to post their pics and answers to the questions. Any postings after then will not count as a completed task.
5) I will post the team scores as soon as possible after the Scavenger Hunt. I learned from the last one that it takes time to evaluate and score the results.
6) The GM is the scorekeeper.
7) The decisions of the GM are final.
8) The list will be posted here in this thread at approximately 8:00 PM, Eastern time, Feb 17, with the second part of the list on Feb 24.
9) Some of the items in the list do not require screenies, just answers to the questions. The answers must be sent to me via PM or email in order to get credit.
10) No swapping pirates during the course of the event. You must play with the pirate that is registered in your crew here in the thread. i.e., you cannot start out the event as Mary, and change to Sarah part way thru.

Strategy:
1) The list will be very comprehensive, it is not expected that a team will complete the entire list.
2) Each team should evaluate the list and determine their best, and worst, skills as a group.
3) Work toward those skills.
4) If you are having troubles getting a high point task, pass on it and build on some of the low point ones, this contest is probably going to be won by only a few points.
5) Not all members of a team need be ingame for the duration of the Hunt, but all team members MUST BE included in each picture that is to be counted as a task completion.
6) It might be best to have only one team member take all the screenies, that way, only one has to post them here.
7) You can change servers all you want, but Purvis will be on PDF on a quiet server when he logs in.
8) Allow time to post the results!!
9) I am not putting an "End" time to each evening. The screenies don't have to be posted until the following day. This should help. Last time, I was up until 2:30 in the morning, just verifying that results were posted, let alone the 4 days it took to score.

Prizes
1) 5K in gold to each member of the winning team.
2) Bragging rights!
3) The ability to berate the losing teams.

Register your team
Over the next weeks, discuss it over with your friends and guildmates. Form your team, and register by posting your crew name and listing all four crew members here!
If you would like to just post your name, I will keep a running list of who is intending to participate here on this posting. You can visit here and then meet with other guildies in game to form a team. List your pirate name, and their current notoriety level.


Rules and date may be modified slightly between now and the date of the Scavenger Hunt, so check back before the beginning of the contest.
