For the month of March the Twelve are going for a bit of a different route compared to the parties they are known for throwing. March of the Twelve has a competitive streak that runs deep and so he has announced that his month will be a contest of the ages: a Scavenger Hunt!

The formula is fairly simple. Starting on Sunday, March 24, five clues will be posted at random intervals every day for five consecutive days. When a clue announcement is posted, you will have thirty minutes from the time of posting to reply to that post with one of your characters to claim that clue for them. After that window, that particular clue is closed and unavailable.

Gathering clues isn't the only goal however: your character has to figure out what they mean and collect the item that the clue references. To do this you simply post a new thread with that character, tag it as an event thread, and ping one of the supervising moderators in your post. The post doesn't have to be long, but it should demonstrate your character figuring out a particular clue and attempting to get its associated trophy. Not all trophies will be easy to gather and some may be actively dangerous. Most clues will only require a single post to acquire; others might need some back and forth with the staff. Acquisition must be accomplished within forty-eight hours.

Furthermore, March will be watching all of the participants closely. If he sees that someone has collected a trophy for a clue that they did not receive, they will be disqualified unless they inform him who gave them the clue. At which point that person will be disqualified.

At the end of the week, on March 30, the person who has collected the most trophies will win a fabulous prize from the god of the hunt himself! The top three winners will also get a boon.

In addition, winners from September's maze have been asked to assist with preparations. These include: Anh Sang (@Emy), Dalia (@Kada), Jude (@Romi), Xera (@Goblin), and Zoraida (@Zora). No threads are necessary for these behind the scene activities.

More exact details (where things will be posted, who you need to ping, etc) will be posted the day before the event starts.

Here's all the vital information you need to know:

Starting tomorrow, we're going to be posting a clue five times a day at random times throughout the day for the next five days. Clues will be posted in this thread by Polaris, who will say that a clue is available. We recommend subscribing to this thread so you don't miss any. Please also make sure to ensure you've always checked the newest post on the thread, otherwise you won't get alerts for new replies. You'll then have 30 minutes to reply, and say which character is claiming the clue. Clues can be claimed by everyone who posts within the time period. You can only have one character claim the clue. The clue will then be PMed to you (please don't share them!).

You'll have 48 hours (from the end of the clue claim period) to solve the clue you've been given, during which you need to post a solo thread somewhere on the site with your character thinking the clue through and collecting something that they believe solves the clue. Posts should be tagged 'trophy hunt' and should ping @Romi @Lotharingia and @PixelatedGlory , who are your game masters for this event. Please do not ping other mods, as they will not be able to help you. Polaris will reply after 48 hours (or when everyone else has posted) letting you know if you've gained the clue. Some clues may have one or two extra rounds to help solve the clue a bit further. If a clue requires multiple rounds, this will be noted.

EXAMPLE:

At 8AM, Polaris posts that a clue is available. Bijou hops in, and at 8:15 AM posts that they're claiming it for their character Emily. Polaris PMs them the following clue:

What always runs but never walks, often murmurs, never talks, has a bed but never sleeps, has a mouth but never eats?
Bijou thinks about this riddle a bit, and decides that the answer is a river, which fits all the criteria.

They post a thread of Emily solving the riddle, explaining how they decided it was a river, and have Emily head into the woods, find a river, and bottle some river water. They tag the thread 'trophy hunt', and ping all three mods. Polaris replies a bit later, letting them know that they've solved the riddle and gained a point.
The three characters with the highest point total at the end will get a boon, and the overall winner will get a special prize from March of the Twelve. Prizes will be distributed in a special RP thread announcing the winners.

For clues 16 onward: Do not post a thread of your character solving the riddle. Instead, reply to the clue PM and mention where the thread would be taking place.
