The Royal Positron Acting Company would like to invite everyone to attend our production of
The Misplaced Posthaste
Or
Posthaste vs. His Primal Urge
Sponsored by the Posthaste Fan Club in celebration of their 3rd year anniversary with the cooperation of the Cape Radio.
This event will take place on Sunday, April 25th, 2010 beginning at 6 pm EST in the Pocket D. This event is open to all heroes and villains who would like to participate. It will be an in-character scavenger hunt style rescue mission ending with an AE mission to complete. Prizes will be given to the teams that finish first, second and third. Im expecting it to conclude by 8 pm, but it may end up being longer or shorter depending on the pace of the RP and how quickly teams can figure out the clues.
The first team to finish will be awarded 50 million influence, infamy or any combination of the two. It will be given out based on directions from the team leader.
The second team will receive 30 million again distributed according to the team leaders wishes.
The third team will receive 20 million to divide amongst the team.
Yes, team. You'll want to work with others for this. Clues for the scavenger hunt portion of the event will lead to locations in both the Rogue Isles and Paragon City, so those teams composed entirely of one side will be at a definite disadvantage.
So what exactly is an in character scavenger hunt?
Its just what it says. Rather than give clues as a generic contest the event will start off with some role play to give a justification for running around Paragon City and the Rogue Isles.
Do I have to RP to participate?
Not really, no. Youll probably find the first 30-45 minutes of this event pretty dull though. This got started because a group of us were looking for something to do and wanted to do more than costume contests and trivia contests.
How is The Cape Radio going to be involved?
This event will take place during Posthastes live broadcast on that station. Portions of the event will tie into that broadcast and clues and information will be given over the radio by the DJ. The first clue for the scavenger hunt will be given only over Cape Radio. You can find out more information about Cape Radio at their website, http://www.thecaperadio.com.
Youre going to have clues lead to both red and blue locations?
Yes, I am. Ill even give a hint: of the 5 locations youll need to visit 3 are in Paragon and 2 are in the Rogue Isles.
If our team has both heroes and villains we wont be able to form and use team chat outside of the Pocket D, RWZ, and Cimerora.
Correct again. Im counting on you being able to figure out how to overcome this and still be able to relay information to each other.
What level character should I use?
While this can be done by a character of any level, Id suggest being at least level 15 to better your chances in the AE mission. I have personally visited all the clue locations and the RWZ AE building with a level one character using only sprint.
So how is this scavenger hunt going to work?
A member of the Acting Company will be stationed at each clue location and doing the HoldTorch emote. Simply approach them and announce that you've found them in Local Chat. You will then receive a tell containing the clue to the next location. The final location will give you an AE mission number to complete. The final clue of the AE mission will contain directions on how to finish.
What if I don't want to team and split the prize money?
If you think you can run back and forth between both Paragon City and the Rogue Isles fast enough, go for it!
Looking forward to seeing you all there!
