Contest Rules
So, how will this contest actually work - you might be wondering? Well, it is fairly straight forward:
During the four week period, I will be randomly visiting West Britain Bank at different times during the day. At this point, I will do all names and take a screen shot around the bank. Points will be rewarded based on your presence, as follows:
Individual points
1) If your name is present in the screen shot, you will get one point and an entry will be made for your character in my logs.
2) If you have text over your head (implying that you are actually present), you will get an additional point.
3) If you are gating to some place in the screen shot, you will get an additional point.
4) If you are providing services of Pet Resurrection, you will get an additional point.
At the end of the contest, all the points will be summed up to the best of my ability.
Guild/Alliance points
1) Along with player names, there will be a compilation of points for guilds. All guilds that are part of the same alliance will count as a same entity unless a guild specifically requests to opt out. The guild/alliance score will be calculated by summing up the number of points earned by each member.
At end of the 4 week period, I will compile the points.. at which point the winners will receive the rewards.
Additional Notes
1) It is recommended that you have your guild tag on, if you are in a guild.
2) It is recommended that you make up a random guild and keep your guild tag on, if you are not in a guild.
3) There is definitely chance for error in the format.. but.. OH WELL!
4) Yes, you can get a point for being AFK. I encourage people to go AFK at Brit bank.. It is the best way to win some of the rewards!
5) I will be visiting at all times of day.. even in middle of night.. (points to note #4)
6) Attempts at being seriously cheeky could qualify you for a disqualification.
7) If you are concerned about your identity being stolen, then see note #1 and #2.
