April ToH: Trivia Masters - GM-Ayu - 04-03-2021 07:11 AM For April ToH, it will challenge all participants about their knowledge and familiarity with the world of RO and heRO! Questions and topics will vary on anything within the world of RO as heRO knows it: be it question about monsters, player classes, skills, RO geography, official lore or heRO chronicles. There will be 3 sections to this event. The allegiance who wins 2 out of the 3 sections will be declared the winner. Each round will have its own scoring system. Time Saturday April 10th, 12:30 PM Please meet up at the town of Fortuna. Join a party belonging to that of your allegiance. Entry Requirement 1 Allegiance points for your respective allegiance. No level requirement. Part 1 and Part 2, despite of the name, will take place simultaneously. If no allegiance has been declared the winner yet, then there will be a part 3 hosted ingame. Participation Rewards All participants will get these rewards. 3 Bloody Branch 2 Event Bags Light Victory Prize If the Light Allegiance wins, Light Allegiance members will win 4 ToH Voucher (3 extra from Jan, Feb and Mar) Dark Victory Prize If the Dark Allegiance wins, Dark Allegiance members will win ToH Voucher Costume Rolf Von Gigue Old Red Box Seafoam Pumpkin Mojo Ice Scale Part 1- 30 Tests of Wits In this thread here, 30 questions will be posted. Your allegiance has 30 minutes to answer as many of the riddles as possible. Choose a candidate to send me a PM in forum with as many answers to the riddles as possible on behalf of your allegiance. Think together to answer all the trivia/riddles as much as possible. The answer to the questions can be anything related to RO: be it items, a name, a location, a monster, a class, a skill, or anything. The riddle/question itself may refer to the real world, but the ANSWER itself is always something that is within the world of heRO. You should provide a justification for your answer: in case you have thought of an equally fitting answer to the questions/riddles than my sample answers so that you can be awarded points appropriately. Your allegiance's first and only submission will be judged as your answer. There is no bonus or benefit to answering first, as long as you submit your answers within the time limit. You should take as much time as possible to think about your answers. There is no penalty to wrong answers either, so both allegiances should take a shot on all questions. You are encouraged to use google, RMS, irowiki, and the hero website/wiki to help you. The allegiance is evaluated on the basis of "number of questions answered correctly per participant." While the allegiance with more participants got more thinking heads together to come up with the answer, the allegiance with less participants do not have as high of a threshold to win. E.g: The light allegiance has 8 players. The dark allegiance has 14 players. In the round, the light allegiance answered 13 questions. The dark allegiance answered 19 questions. Even though the dark allegiance got more questions right, the light allegiance wins the round because 13/8 = 1.625, while 19/13 = 1.46. The light allegiance has a better ratio of questions answered correctly per participant. Naturally, in case where both allegiances answered all questions/riddles correctly, then the allegiance with less participants will win. If both allegiance has the same number of players as well, then this part is considered a tie. Part 2- 30 Minutes Around the World Remember that part 2 takes place at the same time as part 1. In this thread here, a series of ingame screenshots are posted here. These screenshots are pictures of me visiting different parts of the world in heRO. Your allegiance will be asked to reproduce as many of the screenshots as accurately as possible. Post in this thread using your forum account: upload the screenshot to be part of your post, and indicate which allegiance you are from for purpose of this ToH.
Just like Part 1, the allegiances are evaluated on the basis of "number of screenshots reproduced per participant." Since this part requires participants to go to different places around the world, it is extremely beneficial if you have unlocked as many warps as possible before ToH. It will be a pity if you recognize where a location is, but it turns out not a single person in your allegiance has unlocked the access to said location. Be aware that you may die on maps, and exp may be lost. Naturally, in case where both allegiances reproduced all screenshots, then the allegiance with less participants will win. If both allegiance has the same number of players as well, then this part is considered a tie. Part 3- Speed Round This part will take place ingame. This round will only be hosted if the two allegiances are tied from part 1 and 2. For each round, each allegiance must elect a "captain". I will only accept typed out answers from the allegiance captain as the answer. I will ask a question ingame. I will only accept the first answer given. The answer must be spelt correctly. The captains must race to type out the answer ingame. Once a captain answers first and gets the answer correct, the captain must retire and that allegiance must elect a new captain. Anyone who has been a captain, cannot be the captain of its allegiance again. If neither allegiance can answer the question correctly, then both captains must retire. The first allegiance to have every one of its participants be a retired captain, wins the round. Allegiance members are allowed to help the captain via party chat or voice chat. Those who are not the captain, are asked to refrain from typing in public chat. The allegiance with more members, have more work to do. However, they have more people and have an easier time to think of the answers than the other allegiance. Tips
RE: April ToH: Trivia Masters - GM-Ayu - 04-04-2021 03:03 AM Update: It's been decided that no locations in part 2 are locked behind any access quest. The screenshots just need to be "this is pretty close" and it's sufficient. I am not going to be super nitpicky: as long as screenshot clearly shows that you recognize the location, and your screenshot captures what my screenshot is looking at "somewhat" closely.
