CONTEST: Prizes: 3 Mithril Tools
Completed FT Time: 18-12-2017 16:46
hunter021 I still have your axe - meet me.

LostKnight has a new house. Thanks to the generosity of an unknown person that worked through a GM. The GM has assured me that s/he is not that person. So to my benefactor, whoever you are, wherever you are: My Appreciation and Thanks

Now, to celebrate my new home I'm having a contest and giving away 3 Mithril Tools, as a way of paying back my benefactor. Crafting them will take time so remember: Patience is a virtue. And for transparency, the above mentioned GM will be kept up to date of all happenings, via PM, that will be made public as soon as the 3rd Prize winner is announced. ie, who donates what and when.

Mithril Tools are x3 Speed: Fishing Rod, Pick Axe or Axe.

Why three, easy, the house is "new" and crafting a Mithril Tools require two rare items - for each Mithril Tool; a Meteor Stone and a Magic Trunk, with a low 12% rate of success. I NEED HELP!, therefore the 2nd and 3rd prizes.

The Rules and How it works.

1. [GM]'s and [Admin]'s disqualified as the "1st Prize Winner" as you have ways of finding my house. You can however win the second or third tool I make. The "Winner" will be announced as soon as I know, the 2nd and 3rd prize winners will be announced as soon as Rule #3 completed.

2. To "WIN 1st Prize" you must stand at the North-East (top/right) corner of the house and PM me** the: /pos and /time here in the forum. First person that does that gets announced as the winner as soon as I see it . The WINNER must be announced before the 2nd and 3rd Prizes are claimable.

3. People who 'donate' a Meteor Stone or Magic Trunk, by selling it to LostKnight for $0, qualify to win the 2nd or 3rd Mithril tool I make, even though I will be looking for these items myself. I will PM the above mentioned GM with a list of names and what what people donated with FT /time that they were donated. Feel free to donate more than one as you may just be the 2nd or 3rd person on the list. If you can't find me in game, PM me on the forum asking where we can meet. When the meet is successful, and donation made, the FT Date/Time of the PM will be the donation time regardless if it took an hour or a day to meet up.

4. The only person who is eligible to win more than one prize is the 1st Prize WINNER, if that person has donated a rare object towards the cause, and is the second or third person to donate a rare object. But you can NOT win all three prizes.

=== === === === === === === === === === === === === === ===
Please note ... it takes time to make these. Be patient "all" will be made public at the "awarding" of the 3rd Prize.

The three winners have the choice of which tool they would like crafted since they all use the same "recipe" and have the same chances of being made - 12% I will work on the tools in order: Winner, 2nd Place and 3rd Place So depending on donations or my mining skills (luck) and the lottery of crafting ... this could tale the rest of my life! BUT it will happen!

I totally missed this as we were chatting about other stuff at the same time

--------------
** Reason for PM: The GM mentioned above is helping me put this together in the interests of keeping it "fair and above board" The GM stated, with a couple of edits by me:

Only issue with posting: new users need posts approved; so do not award winner right away; it is possible a post gets inserted ahead of the first post you see. i.e. Post 1 from new user needs approval, sits in limbo (date/time of post preserved)... Post 2 goes up. Looks like it's post 1 until moderator hits approve button. However: anyone can PM on first day. So PM me!

EDITS:

This post will be edited at the time the "Winner" finds my house and sends me, by PM, the location, at which time s/he will choose which tool I'm to craft. The name and tool will be added to the list. Nothing else will be made public until the 3rd Prize is claimed.

Hints on Wednesdays

First Hint: 15-11-2017 @ 13:37

There is a "community" nearby.

=== === === Some well deserved Thank Yous here === === ===
Since the First three prizes are done and gone I can add this now that I have been saving. I guess I could have added it a long time ago but I wanted to see if people were interested in Rule 3 and 4. Some donations were turned down, from my little Contest.txt file I have here:

FT Time - 10-11-2017 01:30± a minute
NightBaby - donated a complete set of mithril Tools

FT Time - 10-11-2017 01:42± a minute
Someone who left the game donated the complete set of Mithril tools
Forum Name: Need Help (probably abandoned as well)

FT Time - 10-11-2017 01:51
1. Vethede - donated: 9 magic Trunks and 6 Meteor stones
- not for the contest - just to help.

To the three of you my deepest appreciation and Thank You!
BTW I still tried crafting Mithril Tools, lots of "Succeded to Fail" notices as I like to call it
- ended up making just one; a Pick-Axe and gave it to a well deserving friend.
- my 2 alts don't even have one Mithril tool among them.

And wouldn't you know it, while out collecting Bone Keys I found a Mithril Hammer - gave that to a friend as soon as I saw him, imagine a [clan] member that only had a normal hammer!
=== === === Some well deserved Thank Yous here === === ===

[Leone]

Gratz on the house:)

Nice idea for a competition as well.

[LostKnight]

Thanks Leone. "Gratz" belong to my benefactor though, I'll accept on his/her behalf.

Got something free wanted to give something free. GM above mentioned Mithril Tools.

=== === === === === === === === === === === === === === ===
Now those are very, very fine prizes.
And everything is fine
'Cause of a benefactor of mine,
And my house, it's a very very fine house

[LostKnight]

OK ... first update for the "Contest" and it's a DOOZIE of an update!

First PM I recieved regarding the Contest:

Contest
Sent: Thu 9 Nov, 2017 @ 00:16 (FT Date/Time - yesterday my time)
From: NightBaby
Recipient: LostKnight
I don't want a prize. Wanted to give you the tools to give away, if you accept of course.

... and she included two screenshots - one with /time and one with /pos ... and there she was, NE corner of my place.
OF course I said

NO! ... go away.

NOT!
This is what I love about this game: People helping people

Today we made contact:

FT Time - 10-11-2017 01:30± a minute
NightBaby - donated a complete set of Mithril Tools

Earlier in the day I received another PM. A user that was leaving the game wanted to give it all.
Shortly after NightBaby made an appearance. This user shows up and empties his back pack, blink gone, disappears!
Another complete set along with some other things he was wearing and odds and sods in his backpack!
Sad that he left the game but now I get to share the wealth and:
Second case of this is what I love about this game: People helping people even though he was leaving.

And While that's happening ... or minutes later I see 2 MSG envelopes.
Read the contents: and made a beeline for Map 0.0 to meet Vethede

Before we get into it I /msg her:

Before we do this I don't need donations, I have been given a complete set.

Never mentioned the second set - you'll see why soon.

She said that's OK she's not doing this for the contest she just wants to help!

Third case of this is what I love about this game: People helping people

She asks if I still want them. "Yes please, I'll have to practice crafting."
OH MY!!!! Vethede: donated 9 magic Trunks and 6 Meteor stones

Now how awesome is this ... I just need to mine a ton of Mithril Ingots - MAYBE!

Why "maybe" ... first post, this part:
The three winners have the choice of which tool they would like crafted
Now if they all want Mithril Fishing Rods, I have 2 - I'll have to 'craft' the third.
If the "Winner" and "2nd Place" winner choose two different Mithril Tools, I need to craft nothing for the 3rd Prize winner.

My Mithril Tools - Pick-Axe and Fishing Rod were gifts and I crafted the Axe - FIRST TIME LUCKY! Not so lucky with the lvl125 Steel Plate. Crafted one out of at least 9 attempts.

All this because an unknown person gave me a house, and I decided to pay back the best way I could.

Three cheers for NightBaby, the unannounced user and Vethede!

So get looking. If "nothing" happens by the morning of Wednesday, 15 Nov 2017 (my time), I will give a hint! And every Wednesday morning thereafter - until it's done.

Maybe "you" don't need a Mithril Tool but if you're like me, you know someone that does. And that’s what's going to happen to the rest.

[NightBaby]

Vethede is NOT a girl

Edit: I still don't want a prize. I donated them so others who may want or need them will have a chance to get one

[MadMikael]

Vethede is NOT a girl

Edit: I still don't want a prize. I donated them so others who may want or need them will have a chance to get one

Isn't Vethede a fairy? If so, that may be where the assumption came from.

Anyway, I believe NightBaby is correct here.

But, the truth is, we never know for sure what gender the player is at the other end.
What's it matter anyway?

What's it matter anyway?

In the pixel world of FT I refer to players by their characters. If their character is a female, she's a she, if their character is a male he's a he.

Now if there character is a lion (skin) = he. The Character is a lion not a lioness

Let's look at NightBaby. My first guess regarding RL: female for a few reasons: 1. Avatar ... (but that can be faked as well)
NightBaby Fairy <--- Female
Bangtan Freya <--- Female
NightOgre Ogre <--- can ya really tell? I can't they look all the same to me - maybe they are like dwarf women after Gimli himself said that look similar. ( I think male if you check (i) )
CoolHWhip Swordsman <--- SeordMAN DUH!!! What am I to think if I don''t know you.
Dark Light Archer <<--- Male counterpart to Freya

So if I didn't know you and the first character I met in FT World was Dark Light = male and then 10 minutes later Night Baby = Female. How would I even know they are "alts" of you? Therefore my thinking of "he" or "she" come from the character I'm dealing with.

And like Mad says, "Does it really matter?"

I have alts - both to test the "ranged aspect of the game:
Cosair(8) - fairy She's a she - I'm ex AirForce - I wanted to fly again!
Max Walker(15) - Archer he's a he.

Neither have Tools let alone Mithril Tools. So if anyone sees them say Hi! When Max was (8) he was attacked and responded, he lived to tell the tale. Another time he was attacked died died died.
