Round 1 of Misfits of Society's Sunday Night Taming Hour ended on March 29, 2009, when the 10th tamer for this round picked a Moonglow Royal Zoo reward.


M!S started this weekly event on January 4, 2009, and the Royal Zoo has been on Tier 11 since January 25, 2009.
Round 2 of the Sunday Night Taming Hour will begin Sunday, April 5. Anyone interested in participating please meet at the Moonglow Zoo Sunday, 8pm Pacific (9pm Mountain, 10pm Central, 11pm Eastern), for one hour of taming turn-ins to help maintain Baja's zoo.

Darcia’s weekly report March 29, 2009:
We started this week with 291,117 points. Thanks to extra donations by, Toni Fierce, Devin, and DixieLoneStar, we made it to 597,021 points. Thank you, ladies! I picked my reward, and we are at 47,021 points for the next one. We also did a placement roll for the second round of rewards. Anyone who wants take part in the Zoo event and missed the roll will be added as they come to event.
We also had several more from other guilds join us last night, which is awesome, we appreciate there participation...Our event also attracted a griefer. A special thanks to Daisy Duke for handling that situation.

  • Hermes
  • Shayla Keylley
  • Kat MacBroeden [DWN]
  • Jasia Metis [LUMI]
Trojan [CON] did come by with a tame, but with all the chaos did not get to make his donation. Trojan, please accept our apologies.

Everyone did an awesome job this past Sunday night, however, I do have a request. Please tame at your level. Sunday night Toni and Luna Tic had to stop taming to hold the bears so I could get the larger tames turned in, enabling the tamers to get out faster. I do understand some have young tamers -- if bears are your best, by all means bring them. If, however, you can tame a drake but bring a bear, that is 45 points versus 400, which is a lot more tames to get you your reward. This is a simple request to keep us from backing up at donation box. Please remember, the higher the tame, the quicker the reward. Thanks again to everyone who participated Sunday night.






Sunday Night Taming, Round 2, Reward Order (determined by dice roll)
  1. Hermes, dice roll 78
  2. Lil Debi, dice roll 76
  3. Dixie, dice roll 75
  4. Mystic Rain, dice roll 60
  5. Lexi, dice roll 58
  6. Darcia, dice roll 57

Darcia’s Weekly Report For Sunday, April 12:

Easter Zoo was a little slower then most as many had real life gatherings instead. Still we managed to go from 185,773 points to 288,264 in an hour.

Toni has suggested since we have more people on the reward list this time then last that we do some extra taming during the week. Hopefully those nights will be a success as well.

Lil Debi received the first reward from Round 2 of Sunday Night Taming. (The first place second roll winner, Hermes, is combining his win points with Savannah Rose, who is eighth in line to pick a reward, for a birdbath which they will receive when it is Savannah’s turn to choose.)

Excellent job to all Thanks for your support of the Baja Royal Zoo!

We have encountered a slight problem with rewards winners. Sometimes the winner according to the roll is not present when it is their turn to choose a reward, so we are going down the list and rewarding to the first one present at the time. We will go back to you when you return … provided you show for the event fairly regularly. Those who come less regular will still get a reward, but after those who have worked weekly receive theirs.

Also, if you know in advance what reward you are going to choose, you can let us know ahead of time so that when we hit that reward's points you can receive your reward that night. This works best for those going for the statues instead of the armor as we won’t have to wait until we reach the higher points the armor requires. (You can get your reward as soon as we get to 350k points instead of waiting to choose after we get to 550k points.) Thanks in advance for working with us on this.

Darcia's Weekly Report for Sunday, May 17:


This week's Taming Hour actually started on time! (Sara's note: I suspect Darcia may have been eating her supper while she was accepting the turn-in animals. For those of you who do not know, Darcia works Sunday evenings, then rushes home to begin Taming Hour.) We began with 313,948 points, and ended our hour with 498,730 points. DixieLoneStar was able to choose her reward, which left 148,730 points towards the next. The next three to choose rewards will be Savannah Rose/Hermes (they're combining points for one reward, Shayla Keylley, and Lessa. Great job everyone!!


Due to the trial of Cymidei Fier, Kat McBroeden was unable to attend Taming Hour this week, but sent a check to offset her absence.

Shortly after Taming Hour began, Lady Savannah Rose and Hermes reported their rl home was being shaken by an earthquake. (We learned they were approximately 2 miles from a 5.0 quake). After checking on Savannah's mother, rounding up their 5 cats, and assessing the damage caused by pictures falling off the walls which turned out to be one broken picture, being true UTB tamers, Savannah and Hermes returned to finish out the hour.

So how does this work? I just run and tame things as fast as possible, and then turn them in for points? And higher creatures give more points?

Because I ~do~ have a tamer, but I don't know my Vet from my Lore.

You're only able to turn in certain things, I think rune beetles give the most, and Ki-rins 2nd? im not 100% sure
I was pretty much told to go tame ki-rins.

you can either turn in the animals yourself, or transfer them to Darcia (i think thats her name). If you turn it into her you get put into a drawing at the end and you get to pick a reward if you're drawn.

These are the creatures and their point values that can be turned in at the zoo:

Grey Wolf, Timber Wolf, White Wolf ... 30 points
Slime ... 45 points
Polar Bear ... 45 points
Ki-Rin, Nightmare, Unicorn ... 250 points
Fire Beetle, Giant Beetle, Rune Beetle ... 300 points
Dragon, Drake, White Wyrm ... 400 points
Reptalon ... 550 points

Gold and checks are also accepted for donations ... 1 zoo point = 15 gold

Here's a link to more information about the Royal Zoo

On a side note, the Baja Zoo has been on Tier 11 (highest level) since January 25, 2009, primarily due to the efforts of M!S for sponsoring the weekly taming hour.

------------------------------------------------

Round 1 of Sunday Night Taming began January 4, 2009 and has been at Tier 11 since January 25. Ten people received awards during Round One.

Round 2 started April 5; thus far eleven people have received zoo awards for participating.


With Round 2 of Sunday Night Taming about to end, M!S is discussing alternative ways to keep Baja’s Royal Zoo on Tier 11 through the summer. Some of the ideas being tossed around are:
  • Everyone donates their tames to their own account, then a 50/50 drawing … 50% of the gold to the winner, and 50% to the Zoo for maintenance.
  • Guild vs Guild competitions
If you have any ideas or suggestions as to how to keep the Zoo on Tier 11, please post them.

Greetings All,

One idea would be a fundraiser auction. We all have stuff laying around that we don't use that we could donate for a fundraiser. I have a Lord British Throne that no matter where I place it, it just doesn't fit in but I bet there are others that would love to have it.

I bet Urlik would donate a pair of his Air Urliks, Super Ken, an hour or two of PvP one on one training, Xel, the zen of sake and PvM, Sphinx in a pink dress for a week! Tamers could donate tamed Greater Dragons and Cu's. The list goes on and on!

Since its a fundraiser I would like to see 100% of the funds go towards the Royal Zoo but maybe there would be a better response if it were a 50/50?

Auctions can be fun and its for a worthy cause. I hear that we have a few auction houses on Baja and I think its been a while since there has been one. Might be fun!

Respectfully,

Bucko the Kid

Just in from Toni Fierce:

'We are having a holiday from the zoo for this Sunday, July 19. I will go to the zoo on Sunday and let anybody that shows up know that we're not going to be having it this week. Darcia will have family in town.

Next Sunday (July 26th) we are going to hold a T-hunt event where all proceeds will go to the zoo. We will roll for any arties that we might get. This will be open to our zoo regulars. If it goes well we may do another in the future and open it up shard wide (*GASPS*).'
