Welcome to the 2007 Beta HQ Halloween event. We hope it will go more smoothly and easily than last year's and that Aryn is less full of fail. Don't know about the Beta HQ and it's crazy regulars? Click the banner in the previous post to go to the shop!
This event will consist of three event types (raffle, scavenger hunt, and auction) and has at least 35+ total prizes available through them. There may be some other special stuff as well.
Raffles: There are TWO raffles, one free and one where you purchase tickets. The more tickets there are in the second, the more prizes available. Further information can be found in the next three posts. The Raffles will start Wednesday Oct. 17 and will take place in this thread.*
Scavenger Hunt: There are 31 tickets to find scattered about the Beta Lake guild this weekend. Please go
here for further information. The Hunt will start Friday Oct. 19 and will take place in the guild.
Auctions: There are TWO auctions, one speed auction and one normal one. Further information on how they will be run can be found in the two posts after the Raffle Trade Post. The normal Auction will begin Wednesday Oct. 24 and the exact Speed Auction date is Tuesday Oct. 23. Both will take place in this thread.*
* What are the asterisks for? In the event of Gaia giving us an event forum to play in and earn event items, this breedables event will relocate there in full. Don't worry, we'll give you plenty of links to the new thread so you won't miss out.
General Rules
- DO NOT steal the art.
- DO NOT flood the thread with bumps. Occasional bumps are fine, but floods are not.
- DO NOT beg for prizes, betas, items, gold, etc.
- DO NOT attempt to discourage people from participating in events. This includes guilt tripping, discussing funds or lack of funds, whining, harassment, flaming, etc. Doing so will get you greylisted in the shop and banned from this event.
- So play nice and respect each other.
- Shop Staff (Lt. Gnatty-Bug, ArynLight, RavenFyre, Kishara, Novacracker/strike) word is law. OBEY THEM.
- Co-owning prize betas is allowed, but please keep the discussions in PMs and IMs.
- Shop rules apply to the event and vice versa.
- Please READ ALL of the event front page. If it's "OMG TOO LONG," do it in small doses.
Event Prize Limits
In an attempt to make sure most, if not all, participants in this event receive at least one prize each, there will be a limit of how many prizes a single person may win. PLAN CAREFULLY and have a plan B (ie: people to help out) just in case.
- A single person may claim and keep up to
TWO prizes from the Guild Scavenger Hunt.
- A single person may claim and keep up to
TWO prizes from the Main Event (this thread).
- A single person may claim and keep up to
THREE prizes TOTAL from the entire Beta Halloween Event (raffles, auction, hunt).
- If you have won more than the total allowed for the event (see above), you must give up or give out the extra prizes.
Ex: A single person collects two Hunt tickets and wins two prizes in this thread, he or she must give away the extra prize since he or she can only walk away from this event with three prizes.
HOWEVER! If it turns out that the prizes vastly outweigh the participants, a new limit may be set.
