Christmas Contest 2005

This Year again we start a Christmas Contest for Neocron2, at the same time with Evolution 2.1. This time however the Christmas Contest runs in game and is also an events calendar for you.

This will work as follows: Starting from Thursday 12/01/2005 we will set daily a NPC in the world, which you have to find/search for. These NPCs will give questions to you, giving out hints, where to find the next question, or will give you a task. These questions you have to answer correctly and/or sometimes you will get a letter. These letters you have to collect during the whole Christmas-time. Thus at the end, on 24 December you should have all letters together and must form them to a complete sentence form. If this wont work for you, maybe a letter could be wrong (or more). The old NPCs will remain of course standing, so you are able to go back and try it again. But not all NPCs will give out a letter! In addition each NPC will naturally expect a tiny little thing, as a "door" of the event calendar.

Send the complete solution sentence on 12/24/2005 with the following data:
- Character name
- Server name
- Account name
- Solution set

to contest@reakktor.info
Deadline 03.01.06

From all correct entries we will draw winners by lot and the following prizes will be awarded.
1.) Master Hunter Trophy 1
2.) Copbot Trophy
3.) 2 loot able Trophies of your choice

There will also be Info NPCs in the Cities, which explain the Quiz to you again.
Reference to the daily NPCs will follow HERE in this post.

The GM/KK team wishes you all a merry Christmas.

Chances are most people will have to role a CM char, though I question the idea of doing an event the same day as a major release, tis asking for trouble.

Chenoa,

Can 1 person submit multiple entries with different sentances?

Or is the sentance going to be obvious once we get it right?

Chenoa
03-12-05, 19:56
One mail per Account only - only the first mail will be in (if you try to send more :P) ! So think about =)

jj dynomite
03-12-05, 21:15

just wanted to make sure.

Tratos

Cant find the NPC for day 3 on Terra.

Can anyone confirm its existance? a simple yes or no will do :)

I cant bloody find day 4 either, crafty buggers :p

Chenoa
05-12-05, 15:18
Nr. 3 is spawned again... he wanted only a round to swim ;)

05-12-05, 19:25
Now if we only knew what a Bridgelink was, maybe we could answer the Q.

Lewdog

06-12-05, 05:21
After submitting what we think is the answer will we get a confirmation of you recieving the email simply saying "Thank you for submitting your answer. Happy Christmas, and good luck!" otherwise we might not know if it was recieved by you and therefore will have wasted our time if it hasn't been. 99% of the emails i've sent to Reakktor have been ignored because they're too lazy to reply to the simplest of questions, I think all of us would like to know our answers have been properly submitted after making the effort to do it.

Chenoa
06-12-05, 11:57
Yes, no worries, you will get a reply from me after i got your mails as soon as possible .

Chenoa
07-12-05, 12:36
Number 9 & 10 will be posted (not edited) by Ziu in this Thread then !!!

If your on Terra and u cant find the #7 xmas npc he is not there. I submitted a ticket and they know about it and forwarded the ticket to someone who can do something about it. Im assuming he should be there on the 8th or so.

Just something I have noticed, on Terra it doesnt seem like very many ppl are doing the xmas hunt. I rarely see anyone in that sector when im looking for him and yes this is when the server is at +30%, and no one seems to be talking about it at all. To be honest I dont know why I am even doing it the prizes just arent really appealing. Maybe KK should think of changing the prizes to get more interest.

I searched all night last night for #5.

Is he there? Just making sure...i was getting tunnel vision searching that entire zone.

(and yes...i went to the correct zone)

Ziu
09-12-05, 16:32
May be a english moderator can add this to the first post?

9.12.05
You can find number 9 between 2 uplinks and one Fortress

You may want to also state what server as there are 4 servers. The #5 should be just north-north-east of the muties and cyclops next to a tree close to the path, but watch for those dang WB's.

Send the complete solution sentence on 12/24/2005 with the following data:
- Character name
- Server name
- Account name
- Solution set

to contest@reakktor.info
Deadline 31.12.05
...

So the last day to submit the email with the solution is which day the 24th or the 31st and if the deadline is the 31st will the npcs still be there till the end of the 31st ? Reason is I will be out of town for 5-7 days during the holiday and wont be on those days, so I need to know whether I should even bother with it ?

The #20 xmas npc asks a Q that the correct answer is not listed, there are 3 enterances to the tradecenter not 2. When they made the Q they forgot about the enterance that has the FA turrets in them.

Thx to the EGM Marsillius, who builded up this Christmas calender.

PS: Broken NPCs you can report via ticket pls, we will reset them, but dont forget the Holidays, so it could need a bit time.

A few corrections:

NPC 7 - Scriptbug : The answer is right, but the letter is wrong . It should be the "Y".

NPC 12 - there were counted 31 boxes, not 33.

So the deadline is moved to the 03.01.06

Chenoa
06-01-06, 11:31
The Solution was : You never die alone

The winners are :

1.) Rookie-Doo
2.) Serena
3.) Druik

Because of , that all 3 winners are from Mars, the awarding will be there on Sunday 18:00 CET in TH 3 Hall
