[CONTEST] Tit for Tat, This or That

Tit for Tat, This for That

All around Relic Lore, treasures and trinkets are bound to be found. Whether it is pretty to look at, practical, or simply fun to play with, your wolf will want to hang onto their trinket because this game is something you might not want to miss!

Pretty soon the Spirit of Wildwood will be dropping items in special threads for characters to find. To obtain an item your character must successfully "claim" the item in character and then exit the thread once it is complete. Each item discovered or given in-game must be accounted for as it will be assigned a mystery value (by Staff Members); and, it is your mission to find and trade with another character in hopes of that item having a higher value! Trade as many times as you'd like, but once you think you've found something good, be prepared to defend it by any means possible! Items you obtain will be visible on your character's profile.

There will be several "batches" of items dropped, and about 25 items total that will be available for finding. Be on the look out for threads!

For Example:
- Deer antler (worth 20 pts.)
- Black raven feather (worth 2 pts.)
- Smooth blue-toned pebble (worth 15 pts.)
- Rabbit foot (worth 25 pts.)

A couple of rules though:
1) Your wolf may only have ONE declared "game" item at a time.
2) Your wolf may NOT discard (specifically "drop" or abandon it or pick up another item) a declared "game" item; it must be traded with another wolf or taken from you.
3) "Game" items may be subject spoilage, decay or rot, so choose your wolf's item wisely!
4) When you obtain an item, post in Maintenance so that the item can be listed on your profile.

The wolf with the most valuable item will be rewarded something special at the end of the event and the value of each item will be revealed among other stats...

Please list any questions you may have here.

Answered Questions

1. What if no one responds, can my wolf claim the item still? Yes, if no one responds in 2 weeks feel free to make another post with your wolf exiting.
2. Do other predators have to be involved? No, it's completely up to you and the other thread participants.
3. Can these threads be private? No. We'd like to encourage a "free for all get the item" atmosphere. Live a little :p

Update:

All the items have been released! Your character has until August 15th (At the time that activity check runs) to finalize their item. This can include giving the item away (if you're really that generous!) or going and finding someone with an item your character might like better and bargaining for a trade.

The winner (the one with the most valuable item) will receive a little "chibi" drawing of their character with their item. Other participants will receive a ribbon.

Some more FAQ:
1. Can my character just discard the item? Not without a thread.
2. Can my character give the item to another character? Yes, but this must occur In Character.
3. Can I steal an item from someone if I don't have one? Yes, but there must be a thread.
4. Can I steal an item from someone if I have an item already? Yes, but you must drop the item in that thread where you steal it.
