How would you like to earn 100k by having fun? A game show-esque contest

Yay for Oink!

ok, tried it with that keyboard that Red suggested....however, wasnt quite fast enough to get the screenshot before the cut scene---so I took one when I got back to the outpost with the 'mission completed' in the dialog box...also included the bonus screen (however had problems with the onscreenkeyboard---so its a regular print screen from gw)......

I did it, and if I dont get points, thats ok.....since I wasnt able to do the 2nd thing anyways I have no chance at winning----but at least I can say I did it and it can be done without a monk (ok I am a rit usually ) I included image 883 to show that I was finishing the mission (you can see in the dialog box on the mission 3 it says I took image 883----but the on screen keyboard and I had a major problem---it would blank out everything when I brought it up--guess I had too many windows open at one time for it )

anyways it was a blast to do so either way----

Good enough for me.

+8 points for Oink, and +7 points for you. ^^;

And don't think you can't win, there will be tons of these things, tons of chances to win. Depending how things go I might have 2nd and 3rd place prizes too. So you should at least try anyways.

wow thanks....I will keep up on this thread.....I think 2nd place is good enough---

Yeah, this sort of thing has piqued my interest enough to log onto GW PvE again. Even though you could always do these sorts of challenges on your own, they're somehow more fun when you know a lot of other people are doing it at the same time and sharing their results...

Darn, the more I play this game the worse I get at avoiding collisions. The best HM score I can manage before tearing out my hair is 187650:

Nice job Stig. ^^;

There's 45m left to do Mission 1, and then it is over, so those who haven't done it or need to redo it need to get on that ASAP.

Alright, time for Mission 1 is up. The current points (excluding Mission 2 so far) is:
Red: 13 points.
Rift: 12 points.
Stig Figger: 11 points.
Taetra Pack: 10 points.
P A A: 9 points.
Oink the Pig: 8 points.
cosyfiep: 7 points.

Mission #3: Guru Knowledge
A true Guru, and in turn, a true Guild Wars player worth my 100,000 gold, should be smart. How well do you know your fellow Gurus?

Rules:
-I'm going to give you 10 things, that all relate to 10 people (members, mods, admins, etc.) on Guru.
-You're going to PM me in order the 10 people you think each thing relates to.
-You only get 1 pm. I will ignore any later PMs.
-If you take the quests below, add them in with your PM.
-This mission is worth 1 point for each person you get right, and you won't know if you got them right until this Mission expires.

The Things...:
Each of these things are either descriptions of them, something related to their name (an acronym, synonym, etc.), a small couple words related to them in some way, etc.

1- Independent.
2- Banner. Flag. Insignia. Officer. Symbol.
3- This ex-mod and popular PvP community person has an assassin boss named after their in-game name and forum name.
4- If this mod was actually of the profession his forum name was in real life, he wouldn't exactly be mod material.
5- This person started a 100k contest because he loves you guys so much.
6- This guy isn't really so Divine, though he plays a mean Monk.
7- Emocat.
8- This mod could be an item to get in-game if a certain 1985 movie was real....
9- "I am actually a very polite and good-natured individual who has utmost respect for racial equality."
10- Pool.

Quest:
-A test of PvP knowledge...you will get 1 point for each of these you get right.
11- Name the two Korean guilds (name and tag), that are famous for dominating the game during the GWWC and GWFC era.
12- The famous guild [Te]...what was its Guild Name?

15- This spell was nerfed because you used to be able to knocklock someone way too easily. What is the spell, and name 1 of the 2 nerfs to it that changed this.

Since this is based on correct answers and not being first, please feel free to take your time on this one.

MAKE SURE TO PM.

Also, don't forget you have another day to do Mission #2:

Also, Friday has kindly donated 10 ectos to the first prize winner, so yay!

see even with 7 points I am not mentioned as having a chance (and since I dont pvp I have no idea about that 2nd quest)...ah oh well was fun whilst it lasted.....

oops I forgot you ^^;.

<.<

Added you in.

Stop talking all doom and gloomy. >.<

There's a whole 11-18 days of this to go. There is plenty of chances to get at least top 3.

So try! ^^;

am trying.....but ......hope that more of the quests and such are non pvp! (I really have no idea about any of the pvp stuff----)


welll I will have lots more days to try......so back to looking up mods-----

common Cosy!!! I know you can do it, so just you need to realise it now

/cheering you on

TIme is up for mission 2...and only 2 people did it. :[

284200 Red
187650 Stig Figger

Red gets +13 points, Stig gets +12.

Current Score Totals:
Red: 26 points.
Stig Figger: 23 points.
Rift: 12 points.
Taetra Pack: 10 points.
P A A: 9 points.
Oink the Pig: 8 points.

Mission #4: A basic PvP challenge.
A basic PvP challenge.

Rules:
-Take a screenshot of you (with the Guild Wars Guru thing saying you are logged in showing in the background, like in Mission #1.) in Random Arenas, winning 10 matches in a row.

There are no quests for this mission, you can use any build you so desire. Make sure to black out other people's names obviously when you take a pic of the 10 wins.

Each person who turns in this mission gets +10 points, so make sure to do it!

Remember you can still do Mission #3 as well!

Come on guys, don't make this so easy for Red.

eeks another pvp.....I cant win 10 in a roll....I have problems with getting 2!

sigh.....and I totally forgot about getting to the 2nd one .....ah here's hopes for some good things in missions 5 on!

PvP? Uh oh, here's a chance for someone else to pull up to 2nd place as I highly doubt I'll be able to achieve 10 wins in a row. Can we get points based on the largest # in-a-row we achieve?

For mission #3, I believe I've got all but two of the answers. Anyone figure out the clues for #2?

Like anyone playing would want to help someone get ahead even further.

Oh, I'm just curious if anyone was able to solve it. If not, then there's no reason for me to labour over it any longer and I'll send my pm now.

Maybe they have, maybe they haven't.

It's a pretty obvious textbook answer....

Aha, I used an online dictionary and discovered I didn't know about all the alternate meanings of that word.

pm sent.

RA Stuff: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v1...00kcontest.jpg

PM sent for mission #3.

Color me surprised, I did it! Guess it doesn't hurt to have two touch builds on the team.



(Now I know why I hated previous PvP experiences, always against touchers).

Time for Mission #3 is up.

The correct answers in order were (in bold):
1- Independent. Inde. A play on the word Indie.
2- Banner. Flag. Insignia. Officer. Symbol. Ensign. These words are synonyms for the word Ensign.
3- This ex-mod and popular PvP community person has an assassin boss named after their in-game name and forum name. JR. Major Jeahr is the Assassin boss, and also his IGN.
4- If this mod was actually of the profession his forum name was in real life, he wouldn't exactly be mod material. Rahja the Thief.
5- This person started a 100k contest because he loves you guys so much. DarkNecrid. btw, if any of you had said you, I would have not counted it. :P
6- This guy isn't really so Divine, though he plays a mean Monk. holymasamune. Divine Ambassador of dR.
7- Emocat. moko. Emocat is her avatar.
8- This mod could be an item to get in-game if a certain 1985 movie was real.... This one was tough. The answer is Celestial Beaver, the 1985 movie being Year of the Beaver.
9- "I am actually a very polite and good-natured individual who has utmost respect for racial equality." Rusty.
10- Pool. Billiard.
11- Name the two Korean guilds (name and tag), that are famous for dominating the game during the GWWC and GWFC era. The Last Pride [EvIL] and War Machine [WM].
12- The famous guild [Te]...what was its Guild Name? Treacherous Empire.
13- Before he left the forums, and before he quit the game, "Charles" Ensign was in what guild? (Guild name and Tag) Idiot Savants [iQ] and/or Dark Alley [dR].
14- This player helped his guild win a well known tournament game during the Celestial Tournament by doing an Infuse Health on the guild lord just as the Guild Lord had 1% health. What is this player's name. (IGN, handle that he is known for, etc.) Tommy.
15- This spell was nerfed because you used to be able to knocklock someone way too easily. What is the spell, and name 1 of the 2 nerfs to it that changed this. Gale. 2s knockdown.

Thus, the points each person who submitted got are:
Caeleth: +4 points.
Oink: +14 points.
Stig Figger: +13 points. (THE ONLY ONE TO GET CELESTIAL BEAVER RIGHT.)
Rift: +13 points.
Crimson Flame: +7 points (sorry, you put Rahja second. :P)
cosyfiep: +5 points.

Current Score Totals:
Stig Figger: 36 points.
Red: 26 points.
Rift: 25 points.
Oink the Pig: 22 points.

Taetra Pack: 10 points.
P A A: 9 points.
Crimson Flame: 7 points.
Caeleth: 4 points.

Mission #5: An item challenge...
This one should be fun!

Rules:
-You're going to write me a 15 page essay...naw just kidding. :P I'm going to give you 5 clues below, each 1 hints towards a different item in-game.
-You're going to take a screenshot of your inventory consisting of these items and tell me what each of the items are.
-You get +2 points for each item you have that is visibly in your inventory. (and you only need 1 of it.)
-Need to see your Guru logged in deal like previous challenges.
-You only get 1 screenshot and you're going to PM it to me.

1 - There are many of this type of item, but it takes a truly dedicated player to have every single type of me.
2 - A stone of ice. If you had a lot of me, you'd be truly 3|_1T3.
3 - I sorta look like an Ecto, but if you're gonna get me you might want something close to a certain popular Monk skill first.
4 - There's only 3 types of this item in the game, but damn do they go great with a drink... (note: you only need 1 type to count.)
5 - I've hit quite a few of these just now...

Quest:
-Have a Black Moa Chick. This one is simple. In your screenshot, include a picture of your Black Moa Chick. If you don't have one, go get one!
http://guildwars.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Moa_Chick

Will tell you how. Completion of this quest can be done by anyone, and awards +3 points.

MAKE SURE TO PM THE SCREENSHOT TO ME.

Also, Mission #4 is still available:

Mission #4

Suposse came to late for 2 & 3 >_<

For Mission #5, are you expecting just a screenshot, or do we have to say what each item is? Like, can we just fill up our inventory with things we think each could be and get credit?

I thought that was sorta implied but I guess I suck (i am tired. :P ), so I clarified.

ok, how in hades do I pm a screen shot???? (remember I CANT use photobutt, imagefrack and I dont have my own website...so my ONLY option is when you see those files at the bottom of people's posts that you must sign in to look at----)..

I can send you the answers, but no idea how to get a screenshot to you....

(for example: see below....and see how they get attached....)

You can put them in a .zip, upload them to www.filefront.com, and PM me the link? (if filefront works for ya.)

I am not allowed to download ANY image type thing...my husband is VERY particular about what stuff comes onto our little piece of the world (I'm not allowed to say where I live even!)

You don't have to download any image type thing (though that is amazingly restrictive considering imageshack is 100% safe.).

you just upload the images from your PC to Filefront

It gives you a link. (No images, etc. Just a link.)

You PM me the link. ;p

It's no different than using the attachment thing, and ImageShack/Filefront are both equally as safe as it is!

edit: though I understand how you want to be seclusive to keep your stuff secure, etc.

argh i keep losing at 8 and 9 wins

I'm expanding both of these by a day, since I have some important stuff going on. Try to get those wins and get those screenshots coming!

Aww! This looks really cool but of course I'm away from the GW client when it's going on! and the same thing happened with the wintersday event.../sigh...

well its going on for another week and a half soo

Also that sucks cae. ;(

Oh right, I saw that this would go on for later, but I won't win- looks fun though! I'll probably join when you put the next mission up.

I don't suppose this will count for Mission 4, will it?

(we actually got to 19, then my teammates left inexplicably >.<)

If first place is still within strikiing distance after the weekend, I might continue with the missions, but otherwise this is getting too time consuming.

lol no. Snowball Arena don't count. :P

Also it's not completely time consuming man!

It's 100k...and 10 ectos...

Anyways, I'm doing this one a bit later. Time for Mission #4 is up!! :O

Rift, Stig Figger, P A A all get 10 points.

That makes the current totals:
Stig Figger: 46 points.
Rift: 35 points.
Red: 26 points.
Oink the Pig: 22 points.
P A A: 19 points.
cosyfiep: 12 points.
Taetra Pack: 10 points.
Crimson Flame: 7 points.
Caeleth: 4 points.

Mission #6: Who r u
Who are you? I wanna know who you are, if I'ma give you some money.

Rules:
-You're going to tell me who you are. Your character(s) name(s), how long you've been playing, titles you have, favorite game experience(s), etc. Just write up stuff about YOU and your experiences with Guild Wars. Why do you deserve this money?
-This mission is worth a various amount of points, that I will hand out at my discretion based on various (hidden) factors.

Remember that you still can do Mission #5:

PM or normal reply?Have we got to say anything about our real life?

dear OP,
i think i deserve the 100,000 USD the most because i like myself a lot, much more than anybody else who might want the money.
what i would do with it is i would keep it in my storage and laugh at poor people by showing them all my money and then hitting cancel in the trade button because i would have previously said hey poor person, open trade with me and i gieb you 100,000 but he would open trade and see the cash money and have hope but i would cancel and say hahalolol and he would not be richer.
in conclusion, thats why i think you should give me the cash money.
the end

Normal reply. And nope. Just guild wars stuff please. ^^;
