August 2002 Quests Garter Retrieval Game

Dainara and Khalida had a serious situation when their lingerie drawers took flight and scattered their naughties like little fluttering birds all over Elacia. Thank god there were some morally upstanding MUDders available to clean up the mess. The garters and bustiers and panties and whatnot were loaded up and delivered back to their proper owners with speed.

Winner: Second: Third


Elyk Needs Love Quest

Elyk lost his luvin'! What's to become of Elyk if he doesn't get his good old time knee-slappin' back-whappin' lovin'??? Questers marched off to retrieve the luvin' for Elyk and in the end he was inundated with more luvin' than even charming old amiable teddy bear he could handle. 

 Winner: SuPaGiRl Second: GMC Third: Thorndale 


Vacation Whoppers

Celia has been at the beach for three weeks, and like all beach vacationers, she came back with a sack full of lies to tell about the sharks she'd seen, the young models who'd picked up on her, and the bikinis she'd flounced around in. Questers had to answer "WOW" or "NOT" to 20 possible lies, trying to guess whether or not she was telling the truth. Itch came through with an incredible and downright spooky understanding of the psychology of Celia to win.

Winner: Itch Second: MattS and Elle Third: Dainara and Akira


Mobographies

The Vampire Channel Presents:

Mirkwood Mobographies!

In preparation for our new television series, VAMPS is collecting short biographies for all the mobs on  the mud. Read thee rules, sharpen your pencils, and then get out there and interview those mobs! Did Snibby the kobold get her start in magic by assisting for Siegfried and Roy? Is Vision a failed CIA operative? Did Barliman Buttercorn run a Kansas City pawn shop in the 80s? Did the cashier go a highly publicized bankruptcy after wallpapering an entire luxury condo in crocodile hide? Find out the details, put together your segment, and the producers will do the rest!

 RULES:

 Biographies should be no more than 150 words and no less than 50 words. If you submit a brilliant biography that breaks these rules, we may bend them. 

Biographies should be submitted in a note to Celia on the mud or an email to celia@rpsd.com.  

All entries will be presented as part of Mirkwood Mobographies, a special section of the VAMPS web site, so make sure your information is double-checked! 

Take your inspiration from shows like VHI Behind the Music, A&E Biographies, and of course Ren and Stimpy. Pornography will be avidly read but probably not included in the final cut.

 PRIZES:

 The person who writes the most biographies will receive a restring token. The person who writes the best biography will also receive an restring token. Yes, we're rewarding quantity but we're also going to throw out anything that looks like hasty work, so be warned. 

Good luck, and may Barbara Walters be with you!

 This quest is brought to you by the VAMPS' desire to improve primetime television by focusing less on drunken celebrities and more on drunken orcs. And by the -=FanG=- quest team!

 


Vacation Whoppers

I got back a few days ago from a long beach vacation. Everyone
knows that people who just got back from long beach vacations
are full of big fat lies about what they saw and did. So, I'm going 
to present you with a number of statements. You will say either
Not! if you think it's a lie or Wow! if you think it's true.
That is the syntax! Don't waffle around or your answer
won't count! Either NOT! or WOW! for the point. 
You can answer on the game channel or in a tell, doesn't matter
since there isn't a way to cheat on this.

***

Yes I did see a shark AND a dolphin and no I did not avoid tan lines by revealing myself in extreme ways but yes I did drive 9 hours without going to the potty! :) AND MORE! Turns out Itch knows me almost spookily well, as do MattS and Elle. :) Here are the final standings:

Itch 13, MattS & Elle 9, Akira & Dainara 8, Atreides 6, Elyk 1.

Good job everyone and thanks for playing my silly quest!
Thanks to Drew for providing the prize money, this quest was
brought to you by the Vampire Army of Darkness, not well
known for our sunbathing habits, but hey.

 


MUDRadio Call-in Mania

Well, I had an idea that I thought might have a few bumps in it...
Turned out to have a few bumps alright. Heh. The concept was that I'd say a number on the game channel and then the Nth person to chime in would get the point. I envisioned some strategic hovering and some counting and some waiting and some pouncing... Uhhhh, yeah.

Art added the idea that there should be some open-ended question attached so the chime-ins would have to be semi-substantive.  That was a good idea. It would also have been good if I'd thought the questions up beforehand. :) But hey, it certainly is open-ended this way.

ANYWAY, we managed to struggle through somehow and here
are the results:

Art 11, Vexed 4, Dainara 3, Klou 2, Khalida Babs Tyler 1. 

Thanks for helping me test this idea, everyone! It may not
have been the smoothest running quest ever but it sure was
hilarious, especially Tyler's inadvertant answer to the "What's
the greatest threat to our survival as a species?" question. HAR HAR. This quest has been brought to you by VAMPS, -=FanG=-, my desire to experiment, and Sheol's bank account. :)
