The Official Aldorlea Games Forum

by **Enso** » Sat Dec 03, 2011 4:37 pm

....... would you like to win a copy of the upcoming "The Book of Legends" (an Aldorlea and Ensorcelled collaborative project)?

For those of you who remember and/or participated in the Sylia contest - this one will work under the same principles!
For those of you who don't or weren't around then, here are the rules under which the contest will follow:

1. Basically we will have a Random Draw of all interested participants but since this sounds a bit unexciting here's how we'll try to make things a bit more interesting...

2. In the Contest Zone you'll easily note that the new "Fenirith's Castle" Sub-Forum has become password protected.

3. In it there's one topic where you should try and post in order to prove that you conquered the Castle and increase your chances of winning the free copy of the game. Our Xmas gift to one of you! +::wizard

4. What you actually post is a number of your choice between 1 and 1000 (due to the last constest's popularity we're increasing the limit this time around), as long as it hasn't been taken yet.

5. Everyday we'll change the Castle's Fortification, in this case, the forum's password. This means that every member will be able to post inside the Castle for each time they're able to breach in under a new password. Requesting more than one number for the same password is not allowed!

6. Since guessing a password can be quite hard and we'll be changing it daily, for each password you'll be getting a clue. However, as more general tips you should keep in mind that the Passwords ARE CaSe SensITIve and that not all passwords will be equally easy/hard, so feel free to give it a try everyday! We're not so nasty as to actually spell a word with mixed upper and lower cases but do keep in mind that each individual word may begin with either a lower or an uper case!

7. Finally, the Contest will end once we either run out of numbers OR we reach the release date. By then we'll publish the 1 to 1000 Randomized Sequence obtained from http://www.random.org/sequences and the winner will be known!

Good luck to all! +::clap

You switched it - it's 21 for Trex and 28 for me. (Now I hope that 21 won't be the winning number... +::biggrin

)

To be honest I didn't even notice that the number was 1000, not 100.

Fixed it.

Actually I had the numbers right on my Excel list I just swapped you two when typing it here.

One suggestion: Wouldn't it be simplier to not allow players their own number, but simply choose them increasingly for each new entry? I mean 1 for the first entry, 2 for second on so on.
I know, you could say that it takes away the freedom of choosing "own number", but with the current system things will get very complicated if enough people will participate (imagine the situation with only 100 numbers left) - even the previous contest with 100 numbers was kinda "messy" in the end.

Not to worry. I've come up with some grids to help on that!
In green the numbers not taken, in red the taken numbers and who picked them!

Moved by Indinera to 1st post in the topic!^^

impressive! lol

Nice grid, Enso. +::Thumbup

Btw, considering this and your previous mention of Mastermind game - you seem to like things like that (puzzles, number games, crosswords), right?

by **Enso** » Mon Dec 05, 2011 1:38 pm

lol I guess you could say that. But I actually just came up with both of those on the spot to be honest!
Hope it's not a bad thing... +:oops:

Yesterday's password was SantaClaus as Tomas, darchole, feyone2 and Cassiopeia correctly guessed! +::clap

From now onwards we're keeping track of available and taken numbers on the grids at the beginning of this topic and the one where you post inside the castle!

Today's new password is very easy! Here's your clue:

A popular breakfast drink!
