First Annual Academy X Scavenger Hunt


The scavenger hunt will be released in four rounds. Each round will have three winners (the first three people to post correct answers). Each round will have a point total assigned to the winners at incrementing rates (so even if you don't win the first round you may have a chance near the end).

Each round will have a listing of questions. The answers may be from current or archived guild information or posts. There may also be hidden items around the guild to find.

Play

1. Search around the guild to seek your answers.
2. Send a PM to MrScottSummers with your answers. Post a message in this forum so LJ knows to look.
3. MrScottSummers will tell you how many answers you have correct adn which ones are incorrect if you want to adjust them.
4. Any questions can be adjusted before the round is over.
5. The first three people to post correct answers for the round wins.
6. If the round ends with no perfect scores, the top 3 players with the most correct win the points. In the case of a tie, points will be divided by the number of players who tied.

The next round will either begin as soon as the first three winners are named OR on the given date (as listed below) whichever comes first.

Timeline

Round 1: December 3
Round 2: December 8 (or after Round 1 winners are declared)
Round 3: December 15 (or after Round 2 winners are declared)
Round 4: December 21 (or after Round 3 winners are declared)

Prizes

First: A level 1 fortune egg (28,999 in value as of 12/3)
Second: Thank You Letter March 2008 (12,999 in value as of 12/3)
Third: Mytrill Coin (5,000 gold) + The Experiment Second Gen (2,500 in value)

Points

Round 1: 1st (15 points), 2nd (10 points), 3rd (5 points)
Round 2: 1st (20 points), 2nd (15 points), 3rd (10 points)
Round 3: 1st (25 points), 2nd (20 points), 3rd (15 points)

LJ is going to update the point structure today to give points to anybody who competes regardless of finish.

I also will update forgetting to mention that if the round ends and nobody has all questions correct, those people who are closest will take the point prizes.

So far we have entries of:

Panzer 6/10
Kisetsu no Ai 9/10
cln4evr 5/10
Zephyr 9/10

(Remember, you CAN update your answers after submitting as long as its before the end of Round 1)

lol looks like you four might be our competitors in this game. Of course, there is still a chance for a dark horse to come in for the win. Haha

Our updated score sheet:

1. Zephyr was the first one to submit all correct answers: 15 points
2. Kinsetsu was second: 10 points
3. cln was third: 5 points
4. Panzer has 3 points

This is still anybody's game with the point increases in round 2.

I will have the next set of questions up tonight hopefully.
