TGAMES: Brain Vs. Brawn
Posted: Thu Dec 17, 2009 9:52 pm
Welcome players to the 2009 Barren Realms Team Games...
Brain Vs. Brawn!
Tgames officially starts at 10pm EST Friday Fri December 18th.
Rules Refresher for those who haven't played in a Tgames before.
Tgames is all about being part of a team. This means relying on your fellow players, not on your alternate characters.
No money, equipment or help of any kind (this includes spells like teleport, astral, summon, track, and locate) can come from
any of your characters other than your teams designated Tgames characters. Tgames is all about the fresh start.
Any cheating (even a solitary locate) will result in your disqualification, and Tgames historically have the best prizes of any Barren Realms Quests so I'd hate for you to miss out.
Any time after 10pm EST on Friday Dec 18th, you may create your Tgames character and post your characters name in this thread.
PRIZES???
There are 3 possible prizes in Tgames.
The first team that has all of it's players reach 51 will win the Race to 51 prize.
The team with the most points from the Mini-Quests at the end of Tgames will win the Best Teammates Prize
Additionally any team that has all of its players reach 51 before the designated end of the quest will receive a completion prize.
Unfortunately, most Minigames Quests will occur after 8pm EST on weekdays or on weekends because of my schedule. Historically, however, this has not stopped players from other timezones from participating fully, and I will do my best to accommodate alternate schedules.
You have the right to drop out, anyone who drops out can be replaced by another player who is interested in playing. This hasn't worked
well in the past, however, so I hope you take your commitment to your team seriously and get yourself to 51.
Any player who reaches 51 can no longer assist your team in the Mini-Games or in any other way except moral support and advice, so think carefully before you cross the boundary of 51 and leave your teammates behind. We reserve the right to replace you if we feel you are not meeting your responsibilities to your team and someone else wants to play. However, reaching 51 is considered meeting those responsibilities
even if you did not participate in any of the Mini-Games.
This year's theme Brains vs. Brawn is a new spin on Tgames.
Instead of dividing the teams by color, with each player assigned a different race, both Teams will consist entirely of one race and
many of the Mini-Games will be based in some way around the theme of Brains vs. Brawn.
The two Teams of this years Tgames are as follows:
Dwarves__________Illithids
Xer_______________Ducci
Myth______________Relo
Andasa____________Dio
Everybody_________Dwarfman
Hondaone_________ Sting
Your first Mini-Games quest will be a Description and Themes Quest to get you in character.
Starting after 10pm EST on Friday Dec 18th, please create your new Tgames character with an appropriate name based on either your
race (Borin Beergut, Slizzixplix, Rock, Tentacle, etc.) or your teams theme (Smartypants, Flex etc.)
Post your character's name and description in this thread when you are finished.
Bluestar and I will be judging your descriptions and names by the end of the weekend, so get started!
