What is the Quest for the Sword of Thorns?

An inter-sim roleplay which takes players to stores they might like, clubs they'll have fun at, realms they'll explore, and presents clear opportunities to roleplay with others. It is an event to search for a lost treasure, and to find many other treasures along the way! Most of all, it's a fun way for new roleplayers to get involved, and for veteran roleplayers to show-off.

Hunt Sign will be 2 prims. Hunt item will be 1 prim.

The hunter group will be divided into 4: General, Good Alignment, Neutral Alignment, & Evil Alignment. You may opt to make gifts for as many of the divisions as you like (meaning that if you made a gift for each division and had the hunt sign, a total of 6 prims would be used). Please place a texture picture of your gift next to the division(s) you wish to be part of.

((General is for all hunters. Because this is not JUST a hunt, but an RP event as well; there will be some hunters who prefer to play their character under a certain alignment. In a way, this is like 4 hunts in one. We recommend selecting general no matter what.))



A hunt sign will be sent when you are accepted. Someone will personally come to your store with the hunt item(s) for you to hide on the week of the 8th. We are not doing a later walk-through. This is one of the reasons why we require a texture of your gift, so we can be sure you will be ready in time.



There is limited space in this hunt. Priority placement will be given to those who advertise with our sponsor, Reigning Realms Magazine.



There will be GRAND PRIZES & smaller prizes for each division, as well as a photo contest.

If you wish to donate to the GRAND PRIZES, please put an X here: __

Fantasy Roleplay Sim Owner Application:



Here is a chance to attract new players to your sim! The hunt sign will be 2 prims. Each hunt item will be 1 prim. One General hunt item must be hidden in your welcome area (or main entrance point).



We ask that fantasy sims place additional hunt items based on the type of sim you have. If you only have a Good Alignment or only Evil Alignment sim, then you need to use only 4 prims total to partake. If your sim has various areas- an Evil section, a Good section, and a Neutral section; then we ask you to accept 6 prims.



This hunt is like 4 hunts in 1. General hunters will simply be looking to find an item and move on. Alignment hunters will be more willing to play and explore. We ask you to notify your citizens of these persons, and to encourage them to interact with and engage them. Citizens should not, however, simply show hunters where things are.

Can your Evil Alignment citizens try to mess with the Good Alignment hunters? YES! Hunters are encouraged to group together for that very reason. We do not want people who just jump from store to store grabbing freebies and never giving things a second thought... we want a competition! There are big prizes at stake for those who finish first, so don't make it easy.



The prizes/ gifts inside your hunt items will be donated by store owners.



There is a limit of 10 sim spots for this hunt. Priority placement will be given to those who advertise with our sponsor, Reigning Realms Magazine.

High-Level Roleplayers:



Have you been roleplaying in SL since the day Aaron created Spellfire? Have you won tournaments? Are you a leader in a fantasy roleplay group? Do bards sing your legend?



WE NEED YOU! We are looking for a few elite players to be part of the hunt. Players will be teleported to "online now" indicators at various stages of the hunt, and have to choose someone to meet. You will have their prize, and they will need to go through you to get to the next stage of the hunt!!! You might force them to spar, challenge them to an archery contest, take them on a tour, or make them answer a riddle... however you play your character best. The aim is to inspire roleplay, to educate and enlighten new players, and to have some fun.



Those who partake will need to report the week of March 8, 2010 with a square full-perm texture of yourself to be placed on the Online indicator, and to pick-up the hunt item which you will be charged with giving out. (I can make a texture for you at the cost of 50L.)



You will be REQUIRED to join the hunt group and stay in it for the duration (your title will be "Riddle Keeper"). If intrigued, please fill out the form and place it on a notecard. RENAME THIS NOTECARD

Quest for the Sword of Thorns- Hunters



Welcome! Please use the link from local chat to join our group.

http://world.secondlife.com/group/15036f4d-6d91-9dd0-6cb4-916eb958e7b1

(In case local chat failed.)



This is not just another hunt! Yes, you will be going from shop to shop looking for an envelope which will have your prize and send you onward. But then, suddenly, it will send you instead to find a person who will engage you in roleplay, putting you to a test before allowing you to move on. There will be riddles, tours of sims, and spars! Those who complete this hunt will not only have an inventory packed with goodies, but will have made new friends and discovered new places along the way. New to medieval roleplay? Then this is THE place for you! Training is something many of our Riddle Keepers love to do.



Need more reasons to join this group and go on this hunt? How about for the CONTESTS! The first person to complete this will win the SWORD OF THORNS. There will also be Grand Prizes for each alignment category.



Alignment? Yes, that's right; you (or your alt) might want to do this hunt more than once! For those who just want the quick and easy route, stick with the "everyone" category. For those who want a bit more of a challenge, and the chance for more prizes, fill out the notecard below and drop it off in the big envelope at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Solace%20Lake/173/84/22
