Riddle of the Week
Some years ago, one of the older SGs on Triumph held a regular riddle contest, where the person who correctly answered the last riddle would be the one to throw out the next riddle for the group.
Since then, more riddles would be thrown out for the group just for the sheer fun of it.
Now, the riddles are being sent to all of CoH for everyone to enjoy!
------------------------------------------------------------
To join in is easy;
/chanjoin "Riddle of the Week"
A riddle giver will have a riddle up on the MotD. This is expected to change weekly at some time on Wednesdays, as personal scheduling permits.
If you can answer and choose to, send one tell to the Global name who put the riddle up. Only your first answer counts. Correctness will be at that Global's discretion.
If your answer is correct and you are one of the first 5 correct answers to come in, you will receive a prize provided by the riddle giver involved
Prize List:
1st Correct Answer: 10 million inf
2nd Correct Answer: 5 million inf
3rd Correct Answer: 2 million inf
4th Correct Answer: 1 million inf
5th Correct Answer: 1 million inf
(These numbers may change (for the better) at a riddle giver's discretion)
General Info:
This contest is open to all servers, although it is hosted on triumph.
All prizes will be mailed to winners in game by the mod who has provided the riddle either when the answers are provided, or on the day when the answer is released publically, at the riddle giver's whim.
Answers posted on this forum in response to the current riddle will not be read. They may or may not be wrong. They will not be counted for purposes of prizes.
Fair Warning; although I am not overly concerned about chatter in the channel and openly encourage the discussion of riddles that may be difficult for you, I have to insist that all persons involved in conversation on this channel respect the EULA for CoH and be respectful of your fellow players. Silencing on this channel will not be lifted if I am roused to enact it for being disrespectful to the community.
Sharing Riddles
If you have provided the riddle, you are not eligible for the prizes. But generally, I expect a player providing riddles to be providing the prizes as well.
Please understand that if you are going to be providing riddles, I will recommend that you write riddles of your own, rather than ones that you can find online. It's too easy for people to just look your riddle up and take the prize without any real attempt of their own that way. That's just not fair to the people who honestly want to solve it on their own, imo.
By necessity, any riddles provided must be short enough to fit in the MotD space provided by the channel.
If you are leader of or part of a suergroup/coalition that wants to sponsor riddles for this channel, or build an event around it, get in touch with me and we'll decide what to do on a case by case basis.
