Tour of Arlor Challenge - Week 1

[GoodSyntax]

TOUR of ARLOR CHALLENGE

Week 1 of the Tour of Arlor Challenge starts with elite Brackenridge and Ydra Forest. To complete this weeks challenge, players must complete (and submit valid screenshots of) all elite maps for these two zones. The maps to complete are as follows:

Elite Brackenridge

• Forest
• Aqueducts
• Brackenridge (this means both Jarl and Thunk, not just Jarl!)
• Gold Mine

Elite Ydra Forest

• Ydra Outskirts
• Rooks' Hideout
• Ydra Forest
• Rooks' Nest

RULES

1. To receive points, you must post ONE screenshot for you and your party, with all players visible on screen. Players that leave early or are not on screen will not receive points!
2. Only players with their <Guild Tag> visible will receive points
3. The boss must be visibly dead on screen OR the chat box must be visible and show the boss loot. If I can't see the loot in chat, nor the dead boss, NO POINTS will be awarded!
4. At least one player in party must say the secret phrase. If I do not see this phrase in chat or in a chat bubble, the screenshot will be discarded, and no points awarded!
5. No duplicate posts! Duplicates will be discarded, so party members, discuss before the run who will post the screenshot. Sorting out duplicates are a pain in the neck, so please be courteous and avoid duplicate posts.
6. There are no restrictions on party size or party make up. You can run solo, with guildmates, with friends from other guilds, or even in PUGs.
7. Any screenshot posted after the end-time (see timer below) will be discarded.

SECRET PHRASE
Secret Phrase is:

SWEET

Please remember, if I don't see the phrase in chat or in a chat bubble, NO POINTS WILL BE AWARDED!


POINT SYSTEM

• Each player will receive 1 point for each successful run (tanks receive 2 points). You can run the same map over and over if you choose.
• In order to receive the one-time weekly bonus of 100 points, you must complete EVERY MAP in the challenge (i.e, run all 8 maps at least once).

Feb. 2, 2015:
The turnout has been so incredible that my team is overwhelmed with the sheer volume of all the posts! Plus, my poor server is being beaten into the ground with over 600 requests per minute on the public side and non-stop data entry on the private side. I had never expected to see such impressive participation and, to be honest, it is more that I ever could have hoped for. Unfortunately, with this much activity, we are already 50+ posts behind (representing about 400 unrecorded runs) and slipping further and further behind, that I have no choice but to stop a few days early so we can catch up and give you all accurate results. I'm sorry to make the change right at the start of the event, but I hope you all understand how much effort we are putting in to make this something fun for you all!


TRACKING AND REAL-TIME LEADERBOARD
I have built a tracking website so players and guilds can keep track of where they stand, which maps have/haven't been completed, activity, etc.

You can access this website at the following URL: Tour of Arlor Tracking Website
Note: There is currently some test data there so you can check out some of the features. I will delete the test data before this event kicks off.

If you have any questions about this website, please feel free to PM me.

**And guys, no funny business please. I put this together in my (limited) free time, and I am hosting this out of my home network. If I see any funny business, or any behavior that I don't like, I will shut this down, because the security of my home network is more important to me than what happens in game here. So, please, be respectful with what I am trying to do for you folks and don't ruin it for everyone else.**


QUESTIONS, COMMENTS?
If you have any questions or comments, please post them to the main, planning thread: http://www.spacetimestudios.com/showthread.php?204843

I would like to thank all 532 players that have participated, and all 30 guilds that were represented in Week 1.

In total, this week, we received 4,476 unique screenshots (duplicates and invalid entries were discarded from this count).

This represents 11,699 players that were present at the boss kill and received loot! I saw a lot of eggs dropping, so kudos on your good fortune :-)

Thank you all for a wonderful first week!

Duplicate Posts Identified:
Below is a list of the duplicated screenshots that have been identified. As I'm sure you can guess, identifying duplicates is not an easy process and requires a lot of manual observation. Please, going forward, it would be best if only the party leader takes responsibility for posting screenshots, and once posted, delete saved images. This will save a lot of delays on final result calculation in the coming weeks.

[Azemen]

If I do 300 Elite Jarl runs, oh my gosh posting every single pic from my iPad, here I come spamming this thread.

Is it one single post per run? Or can we put like 50 runs in one post?

I would prefer one post per run, but however you get it to me will be fine.

OK Guys, so the secret phrase for week 1 is SWEET

Please remember to include this phrase in every screenshot. Screenshots without this phrase will be discarded.....fun begins in 90 minutes!!!!

[Visiting]

Hope I did this right -

There's all Brack maps

[GoodSyntax]

Can't see loot in CB. Expand CB so I can see the junk collected from bosses

[Visiting]
