    THIS CONTEST HAS ENDED
    NEW CONTEST COMING SOON

    EVERYONE IN SOTA IS VIRTUOUS!

    Plunder & Loot New Britannia
    Win Gold COTO and Magical Dye!

    Do you like to plunder and take whatever you want?
    Are you ready to loot the world?
    [​IMG]
    I'm just a little sheep and too blue to take anything - but I'm not opposed to rewarding you for taking advantage of that wicked five-finger discount everywhere you go. Loot all corners of New Britannia for me for chances to win Gold COTO and prizes! All plunder counts - anything swiped, stolen, or looted from cities, towns, merchants, any items otherwise known as "stealables" count as chances to win. Plunder, my good friend is the contest and if you have it in you to loot the world, you may just find yourself swimming in gold COTO and magical dye!

    Are you flagged for PVP? If yes, then you're in luck my friend! The plunder claimed from the bodies of players you've defeated, and loot lifted from those poor souls gone AFK count as well - I'm happy to award bonus chance-to-win points for PVP loot - but remember, where PVP plunder is concerned - pics or it didn't happen.

    First Place: 50 COTO + Selection of Magical Dyes
    Second Place: 10 COTO + Selection of Magical Dyes
    Third Place: Selection of Magical Dyes

    Drop loot and plunder (anything) in my public access secure chest and you're entered to win. Shoot me a message here in the forums when you drop something in the chest and reference anything notable (bulk drops and cool things are worth lots of extra chance-to-win points).

    The contest begins.... NOW!

    I'll update the thread with an end date/time later - for now - it's time to pillage and plunder, loot and steal!

    Location: Central Brittany
    House: Ornate Greenhouse Four-Story Row
    Lot Type: Row
    Property Owner: Gideon Thrax

    Nearby: New You Salon, Combat Merchant (Avenue of Spears)
    - drop items in the chest located between the two scarecrows
    Area: Central Brittany (Novia_R3_City_Brittany) Loc: (411.2, 48.2, 160.6)

    OOOO! This sounds interesting! How long is the event going on, and can multiple drops count as 1 entry? (My poor thief can't carry much)

    I guess dropping 10000 corpse wax won't count since it's looted from skeletons and not players right?

    I'd love to but my house and chests are filled to the brim with stolen stuff in preparation for Dumb Decision #126.

    BTW, once this ridiculous flagging for stealing goes in, I'll be handing out stolen items to anyone who wants them so they don't flag.

    Before you take that candle, ask me for one.

    Well folks - the contest has been live for two whole weeks now and not one single item has been deposited. Not even an entry of one of my bones! I was PK'd so many times during R36 and all someone had to do was deposit MY SKULL into the dedicated container and they could have won 50 COTO and about 20$ worth of magical dyes.

    CONGRATS TO EVERYONE FOR BEING AWESOME AND VIRTUOUS!

    You are all the most virtuous people in the game and I couldn't be more proud. Contest is over... I guess I'll just have to use one of my alts to decorate my house now. :eek:

    Ahhh... I totally meant to participate in this! Must have had too many pints and forgot...

    Maybe try posting this in the Events section as well next time? Or the PVP section too.

    Horrible timing Duke - I had planned to play last night and drop a stack of empty jars in your chest but had a horrible headache. I was going to tonight....but now you don't get my stack of empty jars. :p

    I'll restart things in R37 - and next time I'll post the contest in the events section of the forums as suggested by @Sheamus McGuinness ... I'm already thinking about upping the prize package and adding a super mega grand prize tier that includes a taxable place anywhere land deed. :)

    There there it will feel better after you chug all of this down.

    I still think it was a grand event idea and a big kudos to you.
    Get it into the weekly event and the event calendar and I think that someone would have dumped something.

    Are you looking for something specific? My contacts in the moonlight guild, lost and found section, has a whole warehouse full of 'unclaimed' items. No need for a competition nor compensation, just let me know your needs and I can drop something off.

    Small note @Duke Avery ...
    You changed house, locked the door and placed all the viking chests inside... But now we know where you live...
    :p

    I'll put something together soon - gotta change up the picture (new house) :D and add a more enticing prize package. When the relaunch happens, I'll have the contest posted in the events forum too.

    There will be a twist on the upcoming contest... two chests... one for PVE drops in a PVE town... and one for PVP drops in a PVP town. The chests will be as secure as the permissions system allows... though, I may put a honeypot out for anyone feeling super adventurous in the PVP town. :D
