Let's discuss a few contest ideas. We'very been doing the same ones for a while and a lot are subjective and limited to the guild. Also, on that note I'd like to see some of these contests and events done during the auction, to bolster attendance and so folks out of the guild some of the stuff the can do.

The old
1. Screenshot contest- changes with theme and subject matter. May also need to put restrictions some weeks to either be pure (no photoshopping) or altered

2. Geocaching- finding unique sights in the game that folks can get to and get a prize with. Restricted to be areas folks can get to without being a vet or killing mobs. To make this a bit more challenging I think we would be better giving a narative riddle to be solved.

3. 50/50 raffle - folks put in for a chance to get more money back. This funds our store and is on of our most common contests

4. Trivia contest- the giveaway during the auction where questions and challenges are made and folks win a prize.

New items
5. Who is who- similar to the grave quest in bangkori, this is a series of clues on for npc played officers. This could be played out as something like a who dunnit, say someone was robbed and the guard needs to determine who did it with initials of some kind. Clues are given like "suspect 1 belongs to a major house of ebonhart" and "his maid's name reflects her worship", laying out clues for folks to shout out. May take a little time to setup

6. Treasure hunt - a map found leads folks to a delve where they need to find a specific spot for a treasure chest or npc. An officer beforehand places an alt at the location with the prize and bonuses can be given to good rp as needed.

7. Naked pvp brawls - a silly event where we take anyone 10 and up into cyrodiil, strip armor and weapons, and go along trying to punch our way through fights. Stealth should go off when the fighting starts and folks should not respawn till the fight is over or everyone is dead snd a leader cslss a respawn. The story behind this? A bar room fight that got way too out of control. Possible prize cat ago rise that can be rolled for at the end of the night (choose 3 or 4 of these at random):
-last man standing: the one that stayed alive the longest most often
-first dud: died first the most
-charging in: first to get a hit on the most enemies
-animated: the most posing and emotions in or after battle
-by yourself: died furthest from the main group
-pyro: sets the most siege on fire
-doesn't get it: the one that has to be constantly reminded to take off armor and weapons the most
-musical: the one singing the most drunken bar song they can think of to fit the mood, can be in game or in TeamSpeak
-others you come up with!

We have any other ideas to aDD in?

There is another event that I had done once which we could do again if we wanted to called Assassin's Hunt (cant find the thread atm). Its basically where someone takes an alt and has them go around a place or city with people looking to kill them, we can also include guards in this and make it a two sided contest. Guards would have to save the person and bring him/her to a safe house.

sounds like a good plan, I was thinking of doing some sort of bounty board type thing, where we put jobs up, then people can RP them out for rewards.

We just have to be careful with rewards and how many. As of now I would need all money available to bid on the trader each week most likely, since due to the things that happened our profit has fallen significantly (raffle and auction as last week made less profit than any recent ones before).

Items always work, the In character guild bank is supposed to be storage for such things. If we are taking things from guild banks or money I for rewards I would like to know beforehand so I can make sure we have things for everything and keep things organized.
