**END DATE: July 30, midnight Pacific time.**
Okay, so here's the deal, I have collected what I want of the event items and have pearls left over, not including those that have yet to be awarded for contest particpation and prizes. Shame the people who do a lot of the work don't get the party fun, so here's my contribution to the masquerade.
Staff Contest
Mini-games and prizes
Rules: must be staff to enter.
Prizes: Pearls or pearl items and avatar art, quantities to be announced. At least 5 participation pearls for joining in either game.
The prizes are currently being donated by myself. Any other users who would like to donate a prize of any sort are welcome to do so and will be included in the judging of the avatar contest.
Mini User-name Scramble
Post 2. Pull the ten user names out of the words and phrases provided. Not all the letters are used of course. ;). There are 10 users in particular but points count as well for alternative usernames that I didn't notice making their way in there. PM answers to me, Quiet Man Cometh.
Hint: all names appear somewhere in this event forum. None of the names are current staff. There are no names under four letters. ;)
Prizes: pearls for correct guesses plus bonus for alternate user names.
Hero/Villain Character Contest
Create a villain or hero character. Enter an avatar of said character with a short backstory, maybe a paragraph. Writing quality is nice but won't affect scores. It's the concept that counts. Post submissions in the thread, one entry per category.
Judges: Me! (Quiet Man Cometh), Fey, Serra Britt.
Prizes: Avatar art (waist or bust up) of the winning entry for winners in both categories by Quiet Man Cometh; 20 pearls for the winner in each category; ??? for overall winner.
The mini game are all open between now and the end of the event.
Staff Raffle
Participation in any game gets your name in the raffle. Otherwise, simply post in the thread saying you would like your name added. Details in post #4.
