Player Run Quest: The Riddler

Post by Difas »

[OOC] Riddle 1 [/OOC]

*A note firmly posted in the door of the Playful Maiden*

"Death and Rancid Air...
the Curse Of the not-Living
In a Cave of Happiness"

[OOC]
There is a prize in this place, simbolic thing (Crafted Robe of Blending {+10 Hide; +6AC; Haste}).
If this works out, prizes will become serious.
Find it before the reset (21 GMT), or it will be lost forever.
Post here, or PM me, if you found the item.
More riddles to come.


If any moderator sees this off place, please put it where it belongs. Thank you :)

//I think this is a good idea, but it might get more interest if it is posted a few resets before the actual event you have planned. I notice there were only 24 views of your post by 4PM, so it will be interesting to see if anyone finished this quest.

[OOC]

The answer to Riddle 2 was: the Lich's Ossuary

Who finished: noone :cry:

OK, people... since noone is really into this, the third one will be the last one...

i dont get it... everyone (almost) complains about the lack of quests, and rewarded quests, and when someone throws a couple, its not answered... Unless its a simple thing... Unless i get some people really interested, this will stop.

// Maybe because there's only a small amount of people whom consider doing random riddles as RP? Try something a little more indepth with a consistent plotline and miracles might happen. Good luck, either way.

Why don't you ask permission from the DMs to do a shout while you're on the server announcing the 'scavenger hunt'? Figure out a way to leave hints in different areas so that it's multi-tiered. Make a ranger and have said ranger give tours of different areas of the server and point out different rewards and such (or be a ranger teacher and give points to students who successfully do different tasks). Try different time slots. All would be ways to alter your basic premise and maybe get more involoved. I also wish you luck!

Like i told Nizzle: i only made this quests, because they are designed for places of high level, levels which people compain about the quests due to no physical rewards... so i mostly made them to cut the whinning, and now, people wont do them...

i put the quests here, because there is no other board for it... and i simply followed the RP rules.. this has nothing to do with RP...
