Enlightened Sponsors of Destiny: Auction & Contests

Postby Edenn » Thu Dec 29, 2005 6:49 pm

As part of ESD's Guild Hall opening, we will be having a full day event of games and contest. It will begin with an auction as a way to raise prize money. We have already had several rare items donated (special cloaks, upgraded weapons, etc)
We welcome more donations, specialty items, even people (we want to auction clerics & enchanters off for 3-6 marcs at a time to help with blessing, enchantments, healing and teleporting times).
To see some of the items we already have, or to offer up your own please look here: http://esd.dgplayers.net/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=233 or you can message me at http://www.darkgrimoire.com/cshow7176 if you have any questions or private matters you wish to discuss.
The tentative opening date will be in a week or two. I will post a list of the items being auctioned off before hand.

You can have my clerical services for 6 marcs!
I hope though, if you have found the 'Corys Locked Treasure Chest' rare that Ixon lent you oh-so-many months ago before you lost it, it will come back to him as the rightful owner and NOT into the auction as a biddable item. *smiles*
Best of luck with it, looking forward to your events.

Thanks for the donation. Though I prefer people telling me their donation through my forums or PM like I said so I can keep better track. So everyone else keep up with the PM's.

I'm probably blind, but ehm, what is the goal of the auction?

As it says to the left......I talk WAY too much. ;)
And yes, I am fully aware that currently it says so to the right, rather than the left, which used to be the location for said line, but I am simply too lazy to change it for you.

Goal of the auction is to raise prize money, sorry didn't realize anyone had posted after Fleur.

Ok and here are the contests:
First we will be having a poetry contest, with the theme of writing about your favorite place in valorn. It can include obviously a description of what you see, but also the people you might run into there and the feelings you get, what you do when you're there etc.
Prizes
First: 1000 plat
Second: 500 plat
Third: 250 plat

Second contest will be two games of hide & seek. Three people will hide and the first three to report back to me who's hiding where will win prizes.
Prizes
First: 1000 plat
Second: 500 plat
Third: 250 plat

Third contest is more of a raffle/lottery and this happens last. Each time a person attends one of the above events their name gets entered in a lottery. That's up to 3 times your name can be entered in the lottery. At the end of the day, one name will be drawn at random and they'll get 1000 plat.

Prizes will probably go up in plat depending on how much money is made from the auction.

The tentative date & time for these events is Saturday January 21st. With the auction beginning at 1 pm est. About an hour later (2 pm) or when the auction is over the poetry event will start. 2 hours later (4 pm) or when the poetry event is over, the hide and seek contest will start. 2 hours later (6 pm) will be the raffle/lottery drawing. Since this is celebrating the ESD guild opening, in between events will be food and drink. Basically an all day party. please pm me at http://www.darkgrimoire.com/cshow7176 if you have any questions.

The list of auction items should be posted by tomorrow.

Supposing one were to be out of town on January 21, would there still be a way to enter the poetry contest?

Just have a friend read your poem for you, and make sure that they say they're reading on your behalf.
