Fire and Water Festival 2014

[Sythef]

Hello all

As Galuhad announced a while ago we’ll be holding a festival on Eldar on the 4th of October. I’m glad to announce that we’ve finally decided on all the activities (see the list below) :

Fishing-contest

During the fishing-contest the contenders will have to catch as many edible fish and weed as they can within a set time (will depend on the amount of players entering)
The person who catches the most edible fish wins a prize and the person with the most weeds gets a prize as well.

Drinking-contest

This contest will have more or less the same rules as the drinking-contests on Laurelin which can be found at: https://www.lotro.com/forums/showthr...est-14-12-2011
This means that the last one sober wins the contest. The deductions for females etc. from Laurelin won’t be added though.

Chicken Hide-And-Seek

For this game one or more Event-Helpers will hide themselves in a set area. Depending on how many chickens we have the players will have to either find as many chickens as they can within a set time or in case of one chicken find it first.

Fashion Show

This fashion-show will have people showing of their outfits. The contest itself has 2 prize-categories. The first would be the overall best outfit. All players will automatically enter this one. The second category will be the vendor-bought outfits category. The winners of each category will be decided by a jury.

For this contest contenders can get up to 5 dyes by signing up at least 1 week ahead of time and mentioning which dyes they would like to have. Depending on the rarity of the dye people may or may not get all the dyes they asked for (most likely they’ll get all wanted ones though).


Music

This will be held at the end of the day. During this event we’ll provide music for the attendees. In case there are people interested in joining solo or with a band they can sign up until a week ahead of time.


Fireworks

As finisher of the festival we’ll set the sky on fire with some fireworks. Depending on whether we have enough helpers or not we’ll either launch the fireworks by ourselves or we’ll hand out fireworks to the crowd so we can all launch some (and in the process complete the corresponding deeds).

Currently the time-schedule is:
• 4 PM – 5 PM: Fishing Contest
• 5 PM – 6 PM: Drinking-Contest
• 6 PM- 7PM: Chicken Hide and Seek
• 7 PM – 8:30 PM: Fashion Show
• 8:30 PM – 10 PM: Music
• 10 PM: Fireworks

All these times are UK-time.

For these activities we’ll also need some volunteers for the following tasks:
• Judges/Jury at one of the activities
• Chickens for the Chicken Hide and Seek
• People to hand out things like pipeweed etc.
• People who’d like to play music.

We've finally decided on the list of prizes for the festival.

Here’s the list of prizes for all the activities held at the festival:
· Fishing Contest: 100 Gold + a swan-pet for the person with the most edible fish. 100 Gold + a swan-pet for the person with the most weeds caught.
· Drinking Contest: 200 Gold + a shelf of rohan platters & dishes + a shelf of stacked rohan mugs
· Chicken Hide and Seek: 200 Gold + 1 red or white chicken-pet based on the winner’s choice
· Fashion show: 100 Gold + a small hobnanigans field for the winner of the overall prize. 100 Gold + a small hobnanigans field for the person winning the prize for people with only vendor-bought items (bought with copper, silver and gold)

Next to the normal prizes we’ll also hold a lottery for those who entered the events, but haven’t won a main prize yet. Prize for this include:
· 10 x 20Gold
· The first few winners will also get a random pet (the amount of pets handed out will depend on our stock by the time of the event)

So in a nutshell we'll have 1000G in prizemoney, lot of pets and a couple of decorations.

Signing up for events and/or signing up to help is possible by either replying to this post, by sending an ingame mail to Isumaric or by signing up at http://fireandwaterfestival.shivtr.com/.

Finally I’d also like to announce that both the drinking – and fishing-contests will have a test-run which will be held on Sunday the 21st of September at 7PM UK-time. To sign up for this test-run simply send an ingame mail to Isumaric.

From now on people can make songrequests for the festival (simply reply with song name + artist). The sooner the request is made the higher the chances are we'll have a working version by the time of the festival.
