Fishing Contest (WIN EXDz)

Post by E'Walker »

Howdy Y'all one of my favorite things to do is slam down a cold one and fish so I'm bring it here. Will the fishing part any way. I'm going to have a fishing contest tomorrow starting 1700 hours shard time (5pm). I would like some feed back on what you would like to see in the contest. So far I'm going to go with "The Big" fish the ones that put the date and time on the fish so I can be sure the fish was caught during the contest. I will reward 1st, 2nd, and 3rd for the biggest fish and also the one who catches the most. Will pay gold down to 10th place and will buy all sos that the contestents want to sell for 5k each. I would like all and any feed back on this before I post the rules so I can get all the "bugs" worked out and everyone can have fun with it. Also gold will be given for the biggest catch on the hour. Now I just await your input so I can flesh this out and let everyone have fun :lol:

2nd - 10 exdollars
3rd - 5 exdollars
The most in 24 hours - 10 exdollars (yes you can place and win most)
Also there is a (1) power hour I will give a shout that the power hour starts and the biggest fish that hour wins 5 exdollars

FOR GOLD

4th - 100k
5th - 75k
6th - 50k
7th - 25k

Good luck to all and happy fishing will check post and before start time make sure that the it's posted again with any changes as they come up. No changes to this can be made one hour before the contest starts so if you have some feed back you want in better post it before then. Again thank you all for making this such a fun shard and may the best fishing "person" win.

Amazing! I think we had a similar contest once about 2 or more years ago, I've put the time stamp on them for that reason and am glad it's still useful, but I've even forgotten that they now have it. Glad to see player ran events :)

will I got my hands on some more ex dollars so I'm going to add 5 more power hours making it a total of 6 power hours, that will give everyone a chance to win more. so the 1st place could walk out with 55 ex dollars if they also win most, and all the power hours. Good luck to all. I did not get any feed back so going to post the finial information on next post. :lol:

The contest will start at 4am shard time (eairly bird gets the worm) and will end 24 hrs later.

While I'm active you can turn in your fish and I will doc what you have so far.

All fish must have the time and date on them in order to count.

For power hours I will give the message over chat all turned in during that hour will count if late so sorry even if the fish was caught during the power hour it will not count unless you turn it in.

All rewards will be given after the contest.

Here is what you could win.

FOR EXDOLLARS:

1st - 15 exdollars
2nd - 10 exdollars
3rd - 5 exdollars
The most in 24 hours - 10 exdollars (yes you can place and win most)
Also there is (6) power hours I will give a shout that the power hour starts and the biggest fish that hour wins 5 exdollars

FOR GOLD

5th - 75k
6th - 50k
7th - 25k
8th - 15k
9th - 10k
10th - 5k

I will be at the the Bud Brothers Mall most of the time tho I will have to run around and get things to raise skills while y'all fish. If you do not know were this is I suggest you find out and you might want to make a rune there so you can turn in your fish as fast as possible. I will also be posting winners on here as they are declaired. (hope I'm spelling everything right). If there are any questions about anything to do with this contest I E'Walker have the finial word. My word is law. Now good luck to all and happy fishing. LET THE FUN START. :dance

I just want to thank E'Walker for hosting this event. Theres not much that can make fishing exciting but he found a way :) and I'm having a blast even if I don't win anymore. Congrats to all the winners so far. And once I come up with some prize worthy Items I would like to host an event of my own sometime soon. Good luck to everyone in the upcoming powerhours.
