An Introduction
I thank you for taking the time to read this quest journal.
Allow me to introduce myself, I am Professor Mordarm (PhD pending).
In the past year since I’ve joined Gaia I have met interesting people
and subjects during my creation of the Mad Quest Journal. You have made
me feel welcome and your willing to give and share yourselves has astonished me.
Now that my research is complete, I wanted to return your kindness and
generosity. So instead of letting this thread die, I decided to mutate it
(like any good mad scientist/scholar). So the Mad Quest Journal is now the
new Mad Charity and Giveaway! I welcome all subjects to apply and to try
their luck on getting nice gear form my Lab.


News and Announcements
ANNOUNCEMENT Warning of scams - Some attention has been brought to me about

Resident (Mad) Scientist/Scholar:

Name: Professor Mordarm
Codename: The Professor, The Mad One, The Bookworm, The Idiot, etc.
Quote: "Note to self: Subjects get angry when not fed regularly."

Professor Mordarm is a rather mellow fellow when not experimenting or doing
research on the latest subject of interest. Hobbies include music, reading, making clones, and
making the occasional doomsday device.

Codename: The Walking Nuclear Calculator
Quote: "Query: Why do the humans call me “Tin Man?”"

Mecha-Professor was a successful "failure" in the fact it was able to survive
two atom bombs, many lasers blasts, and Maja's teasing.
Strangely enough though it was a simple task of cleaning up the lab that set it off;
Not that I blame it, the lab will traumatize anyone when it's messy. Now newly
upgraded, it helps me maintain order in the Mad Charity and its various Subjects.

This Subject had an unusual fondness for coffee and all things caffeinated.
Subject has also express the unique talent to find and access sources of caffeine when personal stores are low.
Despite several efforts to increase security in the lab,
Subject still is able to access my personal stores of coffee with little or no difficulty.

The Experiment Post
Time Limit to Enter: Currently Unlimited

At random times Mecha-Professor or Professor Mordarm will post The Experiment and a small random number. The next qualified Subject who post equals that number after that post will get a free item from the Mad Charity.

Example:

Mecha-Professor
User Image
The Experiment
#4
Is anyone keen enough to spot my Experiment?


So to clarify, if I had posted The Experiment, the fourth post after mine will get a free item from Mad Charity. This is the only time bumping freely is allowed and the number will never exceed over 10. Once the numbered post is hit the winner must send the Application via PM with the header "Experiment Winner Application" and the winning page number where you posted. Once verified, I will then award the winner with the current item listed for The Experiment.

Please note though, once the numbered post is hit, do not spam more bumps. Abuse this game and I will remove this option from the Mad Charity.

Final Rule: No Application is needed for this Game. All visitors who post here are automatically qualified!

Prize for this Lab Game is:

Wingding Shirt (3rd Gen)




Chaos Theory Dice
Time Limit to Enter: Currently Unlimited


Mecha-Professor or Professor Mordarm, at random times, will post a Chaos Theory Challenge and will choose two Subjects at random that are currently posting to challenge each other to a game of Chaos Theory Dice.

Rules are as follows:

1. Item Prizes can only be won by the die type. So that means a d10 die can only win a d10 item and so on.
2. One player is the Chaos Roller, chosen by Mecha-Professor or Professor Mordarm.
3. The other player is the Chaos Caller, also chosen by Mecha-Professor or Professor Mordarm.
4. The Chaos Caller posts the die type. He can only choose one die of one type: 10, 12, 20, or 100.
5. The Chaos Roller posts and rolls on that die called by the Caller.
6. Once the number is rolled, the Chaos Caller must guess if the next roll will be higher or lower than previous number rolled.
7. Caller must post: "Higher" or "Lower"
8. Once the Caller has posted his choice, the Chaos Roller then post rolls.
9. If the number rolled matches the call said by the Caller, the Chaos Caller wins a free item prize from the Mad Charity according to the dice prize chart.
10. If the number rolled does not match the call posted by the Caller, the Chaos Roller wins a free item prize from the Mad Charity according to the dice prize chart.
11. If the Roller rolls the same identical number on the next roll, both win items from the Mad Charity according to the dice prize chart.
12. True Chaos rule! (Only applies if a d20 die is chosen) If Caller dares, he/she can post "Match" instead of "Higher" or "Lower." If the Roller agrees with the caller (by posting his/her agreement) proceed in this manner:
-If the next roll done by the Roller matches the previous number, both win any one item they want from the Mad Charity listed in the dice prize chart. Any Item! But, if anything else but a match is rolled, no one wins.
-If the Roller disagrees to a “Match” then the Caller must call “Higher or “Lower”
13. “Match” can only be called once per game.
14. If at anytime the players fail to post in a reasonable time during the game, the referee will call the game forfeit and any prizes will be lost.
15. Cheating and or deleting posts by the players during the game will be ruled as a forfeit.
16. No complaints, flames or disruptive posts will be tolerated during the game.
17. Any game of Chaos Theory Dice played by others who are not called by Mecha-Professor or Professor Mordarm are invalid and cannot receive winning from the Mad Charity.
18. No Application is needed for this Game. All visitors who post here are automatically qualified!

Mecha-Professor or Professor Mordarm is referee during game play. All decisions are final.


Here is an example of play:

Professor Mordarm
Professor Mordarm: It is Chaos Theory Dice Challenge time! Mutant, you are the Chaos Caller. Gremlin, you are the Chaos Roller. Good Luck! User Image

Mutant
Mutant (Chaos Caller): Alright! I choose a 20 side die for this challenge!

Gremlin
Gremlin (Chaos Roller): Bah, I would of chosen something else.

Gremlin
Gremlin Rolls a 11!

Mutant
Mutant: Hmm....that is near the middle but...aw, what the heck "Lower!"

Gremlin
Gremlin: Hah, I'm going to beat you. The Professor's item is mine!

Gremlin
Gremlin Rolls a 12!

Professor Mordarm
Professor Mordarm: As the Chaos Caller did not call the next roll correctly the Chaos Roller wins! Congratulations Gremlin!

Gremlin
Gremlin: Yes! I win! The item is mine, you beastie! HAHAHAHAHAHA! twisted

Mutant
Mutant: Nooooooo! I failed at getting an item! gonk crying


Now if Gremlin had rolled a 10 or lower, Gremlin would have lost and Mutant would have been the winner. But if Gremlin had rolled an 11 again, both would of won an item. Also if Mutant had some guts and called "Match!" and Gremlin had agreed and had Gremlin rolled an 11, both would have won any one of item on the dice prize chart. But if Gremlin had rolled anything else but an 11 on that roll, both would of lost.

So now that the rules are stated, does anyone want to challenge Chaos?

The Charities

A worthy charity in my opinion. Though be careful of random pirates jumping out and saying
"Arrr!" Nearly lost a few years of my life that way.

No longer a charity but a Hangout; never the less this place had good people and Shay, who started it is rather friendly. Be sure to drop by and say hi.
