It's been so lonely around the Corner these days... so I'm sweetening the pot a bit...

I am offering 500 gold for each NEW riddle posted. I realize not everyone, especially our newer members, will know if their riddles are new and not archived but give it your best shot. If Kero hasn't thrown it up in a re-post, give it a go... Riddles must be solvable and well worded. You need to give us all a chance at cracking them ye know...

**Money for the riddles will be paid out in lump sums at the end of the event as this will be easier to keep track of. blaugh

Because we need all the riddle posted for the event voted on (riddles posted after Nov. 23)... we will not be locking them down... vote away... please gonk some people have been ignoring this point...

This promotion will end on Christmas day, so everyone... go dig up some riddles.... do your best!

Good Luck Everyone!

And if we all rate each riddle on the scale of 5 as we solve them.... I might even throw in some special goodie for the one's who's riddle everyone likes the most...

I have a question for everyone....

How do you want me to pay out for your riddles... for each one individually or all at once at the end?

Or if someone has a better idea... let me know, okay.

Well for the rating why don't we do it as a poll, that way it is easy to check how is is rated.

One way, but if we get a lot of riddles... I'm being hopefully optimistic here... it won't do so well... Still I think I have that one figured out. If people rate the riddles as they work on them, I'll get an idea of how well people like them. Maybe I can use a poll towards the end to select the best one out of those they have rated highly....

Yes that is being very optimistic. I don't really think that a gold reward is that much of an incentive to this guild look at the Pork Races I offered 20k and not that many people did anything. But we will see if this is different.

Just realized that if we use a poll to rate the riddles locking them down when they are solved will prevent anyone from rating the riddle. So I'm not going to lock down the event riddles when they get solved... I will mark them as done, though...

Get out there and rate those riddle people! Some of them are very very good! mrgreen pirate
