Yay for Oink!

ok, tried it with that keyboard that Red suggested....however, wasnt quite fast enough to get the screenshot before the cut scene---so I took one when I got back to the outpost with the 'mission completed' in the dialog box...also included the bonus screen (however had problems with the onscreenkeyboard---so its a regular print screen from gw)......

I did it, and if I dont get points, thats ok.....since I wasnt able to do the 2nd thing anyways I have no chance at winning----but at least I can say I did it and it can be done without a monk (ok I am a rit usually

) I included image 883 to show that I was finishing the mission (you can see in the dialog box on the mission 3 it says I took image 883----but the on screen keyboard and I had a major problem---it would blank out everything when I brought it up--guess I had too many windows open at one time for it

)

anyways it was a blast to do so either way----

DarkNecrid · Jul 15, 2008, 09:35 PM // 21:35

Good enough for me.

+8 points for Oink, and +7 points for you. ^^;

And don't think you can't win, there will be tons of these things, tons of chances to win. Depending how things go I might have 2nd and 3rd place prizes too.

So you should at least try anyways.

**cosyfiep** · Jul 15, 2008, 09:37 PM // 21:37

wow thanks....I will keep up on this thread.....I think 2nd place is good enough---

Yeah, this sort of thing has piqued my interest enough to log onto GW PvE again. Even though you could always do these sorts of challenges on your own, they're somehow more fun when you know a lot of other people are doing it at the same time and sharing their results...

Darn, the more I play this game the worse I get at avoiding collisions. The best HM score I can manage before tearing out my hair is 187650:

DarkNecrid · Jul 16, 2008, 04:16 PM // 16:16

Nice job Stig. ^^;

There's 45m left to do Mission 1, and then it is over, so those who haven't done it or need to redo it need to get on that ASAP.

DarkNecrid · Jul 16, 2008, 05:19 PM // 17:19

Alright, time for Mission 1 is up. The current points (excluding Mission 2 so far) is:
Red: 13 points.

Mission #3: Guru Knowledge
A true Guru, and in turn, a true Guild Wars player worth my 100,000 gold, should be smart. How well do you know your fellow Gurus?

Rules:
-I'm going to give you 10 things, that all relate to 10 people (members, mods, admins, etc.) on Guru.
-You're going to PM me in order the 10 people you think each thing relates to.
-You only get 1 pm. I will ignore any later PMs.
-If you take the quests below, add them in with your PM.
-This mission is worth 1 point for each person you get right, and you won't know if you got them right until this Mission expires.

The Things...:
Each of these things are either descriptions of them, something related to their name (an acronym, synonym, etc.), a small couple words related to them in some way, etc.

1- Independent.
2- Banner. Flag. Insignia. Officer. Symbol.
3- This ex-mod and popular PvP community person has an assassin boss named after their in-game name and forum name.
4- If this mod was actually of the profession his forum name was in real life, he wouldn't exactly be mod material.
5- This person started a 100k contest because he loves you guys so much.
6- This guy isn't really so Divine, though he plays a mean Monk.
7- Emocat.
8- This mod could be an item to get in-game if a certain 1985 movie was real....
9- "I am actually a very polite and good-natured individual who has utmost respect for racial equality."
10- Pool.

Quest:
-A test of PvP knowledge...you will get 1 point for each of these you get right.
11- Name the two Korean guilds (name and tag), that are famous for dominating the game during the GWWC and GWFC era.
12- The famous guild [Te]...what was its Guild Name?
13- Before he left the forums, and before he quit the game, "Charles" Ensign was in what guild? (Guild name and Tag)
14- This player helped his guild win a well known tournament game during the Celestial Tournament by doing an Infuse Health on the guild lord just as the Guild Lord had 1% health. What is this player's name. (IGN, handle that he is known for, etc.)
15- This spell was nerfed because you used to be able to knocklock someone way too easily. What is the spell, and name 1 of the 2 nerfs to it that changed this.

Since this is based on correct answers and not being first, please feel free to take your time on this one.

MAKE SURE TO PM.

Also, don't forget you have another day to do Mission #2:

Quote:

Mission #2: Space...the Final Frontier...
Sure, you can beat up (and then run away from) Charr, but can you blow up shit in space?

Rules:
-You're going to download (it's free, and it's virus clean.) this awesome game called Echoes! http://www.binaryzoo.com/games/echoes/index.htm is the game's page, and http://www.binaryzoostudios.dreamhos...oes/echoes.rar is the download link.
-Afterwards, you're going to play it on Hard. Feel free to play on Normal or Easy to get accustomed to the game, but Hard is what counts here.
-You must take a screenshot of the high score table with the initials GWG shown and post it.
-You only get to post one screenshot. That's it. So make it count.
-This mission is worth 10 points, and the points will be handed out in order of highscore.
-EDIT: In case if it isn't obvious, to set your name to GWG, click the top most option and enter GWG. I don't think it asks you otherwise. It must be GWG.

Quests for this Mission:
-Your above picture has a score that is 100,000 points or higher in Hard difficulty with the initials GWG. This quest can be turned in by anyone, and is not a one shot deal. Reward for completion: +1 points.
-Your above picture has a score that is 150,000 points or higher in Hard difficulty with the initials GWG. This quest can be turned in by anyone, and is not a one shot deal. Reward for completion: +2 points.
-Your above picture has a score that is 250,000 points or higher in Hard difficulty with the initials GWG. This quest is a one shot deal, and the first person to clearly show they have completed it earns the reward. Reward for completion: ?. EDIT: No longer completeable. Done by Red, first.

Good lucccck.

Also, Friday has kindly donated 10 ectos to the first prize winner, so yay!

**cosyfiep** · Jul 17, 2008, 05:14 PM // 17:14

eeks another pvp.....I cant win 10 in a roll....I have problems with getting 2!

sigh.....and I totally forgot about getting to the 2nd one

.....ah here's hopes for some good things in missions 5 on!

Stig Figger · Jul 17, 2008, 05:49 PM // 17:49

PvP? Uh oh, here's a chance for someone else to pull up to 2nd place as I highly doubt I'll be able to achieve 10 wins in a row. Can we get points based on the largest # in-a-row we achieve?

For mission #3, I believe I've got all but two of the answers. Anyone figure out the clues for #2?

Like anyone playing would want to help someone get ahead even further.
