~*~ Weekly Wonder - Cycle 1 Round 2 - OVER ~*~

Post by Kevinsaurus » Thu Sep 06, 2012 7:40 pm

Weekly Wonder


Hi, and welcome to the weekly wonder! This is a weekly Runescape-related forum game / contest I'm hosting!


So what is weekly wonder?
The name is sort of misleading. Weekly wonder is a month-long contest in which I take three images of places in Runescape and display them here for everyone to guess. There will be an easy, medium, and hard difficulty picture.

Where did the idea for weekly wonder come from?
I'm sure other people have seen / done this before, but in my previous clan, one of my friends and I did this weekly wonder contest for fun and gave away cash prizes to the winners. It was quite enjoyable to host and to see people guessing!

What are the prizes?
The prizes will be dungeoneering-related in the sense of doing floors with me or getting free leech floors (I know many people detest the skill, but it's really not that bad!). The point of these rewards is also for me to help anybody who needs help or has questions about dungeoneering. My goal is to get as many people to like, understand, and simply enjoy the skill as I can.

Why are you doing this?
Well, I always found this a fun game that was simple and fun, but also difficult. Also, as I'm basically going for 200m Dungeoneering XP now, I figure these rewards would be suitable, as I'm not very rich anyways for monetary rewards =P.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cycle 1


This is Cycle 1 of the Weekly Wonder! Cycle 1 will end October 6, 2012.

The prizes will generally remain consistent and the same, though I am open to suggestions for other rewards (don't make it cash-related though because as I said, unlike some people, I'm not rich).

This contest is a cumulative contest based on cycles and rounds. A cycle lasts 1 month, and a cycle will contain as many rounds as possible, given how quickly each round's locations are found. Once a round has been completed, a new round will begin for that cycle. Finding the hard location awards 3 points. Finding the medium location awards 2 points. Finding the easy location awards 1 point. At the end of the cycle, the top 3 finishers (in total points) will win the prizes for that cycle.

*PRIZE RESTRICTIONS*
As I don't do larges that are below floor 30, if you can't access floors that are 30+, send me a message on forums or in-game or contact me somehow and we can come to some agreement about a type of reward apart from a dungeoneering one.

This cycle the prizes* are...
1st Place - 3 Free Leech floors with Kev + any help / questions / tips
2nd Place - 2 Free Leech floors with Kev + any help / questions / tips
3rd Place - 1 Free Leech floor with Kev + any help / questions / tips

PLEASE NOTE: You CAN give away / share your prize with somebody else if you wish.

Also please note that if you don't want to leech, you can simply go along and do the floor too. The "free leech" simply implies you can leech if you want, and I'll be advertising the floor as one with a suicider (me) and a leech.

*Rewards subject to change

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to guess
In order to guess, you need to do the following:
1) Find the location of the picture in-game.
2) Take a screenshot of your character at that location (requires a FULL screenshot, showing your entire RS game screen. That way, I can confirm the location and see your character as well as your RSN.)
3) Upload and post the screenshot in a reply on this forum topic.
4) With each screenshot guess you upload, say whether it's for the Easy, Medium, or Hard categories. Do not say anything else about the location or further information that could influence the contest. Make sure you put your RSN in your guessing post.
Rules for Guessing
1) You may only guess once each round for each difficulty.
2) You must reply in-topic. Keep in mind once you guess, other people will be able to see what you've guessed and maybe get ideas... but remember also that if you wait too long, someone else might get it before you can![/color]
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Round 2 Images

*Note*: Sometimes, the hard image may require a quest or have some other requirement to access. It is denoted hard for a reason, but I'll try my best to avoid this so everyone can have the chance to get it.
[/color]

THE PICTURES ARE TAKEN IN RESIZABLE, MIN, BRIGHTNESS 8, ZOOM 11, NO SHADOWS, LOW DETAIL, LOW PARTICLES, NO GROUND BLENDING, NO GROUND DECORATIONS OR FLICKERING EFFECTS, NO SCENERY SHADOWS OR FOG, LOW WATER DETAIL, and NO TEXTURES.

***EASY***
Image

***MEDIUM***
Image

***HARD***
Image

This round will end when all 3 images have been guessed correctly.

Good luck, and most importantly, have fun!

CURRENT PICTURE HINTS
Every day after the pictures for a contest have been released, a hint will be available to help you find each one, with a cap of 3 clues per picture.

All hints ARE helpful and do give information regarding the location of the picture. If you don't get it or see how it might help, just keep reading it and pondering it.

Easy
1. They're not just pixels, there's colors too! And not too many of them, so look, woohoo!
2. What skills do you hate to train the most? I must say, agility and mining are a couple of my most hated ones. If only they could be easier...
3. Them stinking barbarians. No, not there, but the other ones.

Medium
1. Well you know I love purple... and I detest green... white's got both of those... pretty magical, don't you think?
2. Dungeoneering Miscellaneous Journal #20
3. Charge forward, charge ahead, chargeee 5000 paces, lets go!

Hard
1. I just love art! Don't you? Oh look, a path, which way to choose?
2. I'm really not that far off from a ring... oh, you thought fairy ring? No, I just meant a normal ring!
3. People hang paintings in buildings all the time, don't they? Well this one reeks of fish... and dark magic... maybe with a stench of someone drunk... oh jolly it sounds like the tale of someone on board a ship. Time to head to the docks and catch 'em!

Note: The Hard screenshot can technically be taken in more than one place. The hard hints will point you to the correct location, although any alternatives that are found will be awarded points anyways.

Well done Dan! You got the easy one correct! It'd be helpful if you could include your RSN in your guess next time, but it's okay for this time around :)

Well that was quick! Only the medium and hard ones left! Can you get them? The first hint for both will be coming out tomorrow if nobody gets it!

Well done Hid! You got the hard one correct! It'd be helpful if you could include your RSN in your guess next time, but it's okay for this time around.

Well that was extremely quick! Only the medium left! Can you get them? The first hint for the medium picture will be coming out momentarily!

*NOTE*: I may be considering changing how the rewards for this work... because at the moment, it seems like these pictures might be too easy to get, so I'm thinking about doing it more than once a week if everything is found (possibly), in which case, I might have to alter rewards and make it some kind of point-counting cumulative award or something, or have a month-long contest of sorts, simply because I don't have the time (because of college) to do floor after floor all the time for you guys.

Well done Kiddioo! You got the medium one correct! I think I might make it a requirement to just show the full screen screenshot, because that shows RSN too and displays enough area to confirm the location, which will help me out greatly.

Well, awesome, all there have been found! I do believe I need to update the way this game works so as to not wear myself out on giving prizes... it'll probably be more of a month-long type of thing with points accumulated and such.

And Brad... find your places and you will =P

I believe I'll make it so every time all are found, a new batch will be released, so as many as possible will be released every "cycle", which I'm hoping is a month or so. I'll update the game in much more detail tomorrow when I can get on and have time to.

Well done to Dan, Hid, and Kiddioo though for the first round!

The first set of hints was released yesterday, and it's been roughly a day, with no luck from anybody finding any of these, so here comes the second batch of hints!!!
