Guild:Passionate Kiss Of Nosferatu/Find Bunny

Official Poster for the unofficial [KISS] Find Bunny event

Introduction

Find Bunny is a colossal hide-and-go-seek game spanning all three of the Guild Wars continents.

Coordinated and Hosted by: Aeriel Firestorm (Bunny) and Arianna Shadowbane, in association with the KISS Alliance

Catered by: The Luxon and Kurzick Guilds of [KISS]

Where & When: This event will take place over Easter weekend in March 2008 (timetable below).

Foreign characters beware! This event has been designed to allow everyone to enter once, not all three times. The bunny doesn't care if you are playing on a Foreign character and haven't been to all the outposts that a Local player would have been to. This has been done on purpose to allow people who can only afford one campaign a fair chance against those who are fortunate enough to own all three.

Join all of [KISS] for the Find Bunny pre event party

Prizes

• Grand Total of 320 platinum in prizes - Prizes for this event total 230 platinum in gold and 3 minipets worth 30 platinum each (market price at time of event).
• Each of the 3 winners will receive 50 platinum and an undedicated Miniature Destroyer of Flesh
• An additional fund of 80 platinum will be contributed towards discretional prizes awarded for good sportsmanship throughout the course of the event.

How does this event work?

• Find Bunny is a PvE based hide-and-go-seek event designed to put your knowledge of Guild Wars to the test.
• This event is free to enter to all members of the Luxon [KISS] or Kurzick [KISS] alliances and will take place 3 times over the course of Easter weekend.
• The object of the game is to be the first to find the player posing as the Easter Bunny and trade 2 required items in exchange for the prize.
• In order to find out where the Bunny is hiding, and what the 2 required items are, you must solve the riddle!

How do players enter?

• To enter, all contestants must be a member of either the Kurzick or Luxon [KISS] Alliance.
• Entrants are required to attend a PRE-EVENT PARTY in International District 1 on the dates listed below.

Tips for winning

• If you intend to take part in a particular campaign, it is recommended that you complete that campaign before Easter.
• The event is designed for characters who have completed a campaign and orignated from that campaign.
• The Easter Bunny could be hiding anywhere, so it would be wise to have all outposts uncovered before the event starts.
• If you study up on the outposts in your map, solving the riddle will be much easier.
• You do NOT need any game money to take part in this event, the 2 required items are free.

Foreign characters beware!

This event has been designed to allow everyone to enter once, not all three times. The event for each campaign has been designed to favour those players who own that campaign and are competing with players who have COMPLETED the campaign on a character that emerged FROM that campaign. This has been done on purpose to allow people who can only afford one campaign a fair chance against those who own all three.

This means that the bunny doesn't care if you are playing on a Foreign character and haven't been to all the outposts that a Local player would have been to. Enter in your Local campaign instead!!

When do we get the Riddles?

• The riddle for each campaign will be available 30 minutes after the event start times listed above.
• An announcement will be made in alliance chat to tell players when a riddle is available.
• The riddle itself will NOT be called out in alliance chat (it's too long).
• Players must obtain the riddle themselves directly from either the official thread in the KISS forums or from this wiki page.

Rules & Additional Information

1. The prize will be given to the first person to trade both required items to the Easter Bunny (example character name only).

2. The prize can only be traded to a player who is a verified member of either the Kurzick or Luxon [KISS] alliance. Players will be verified by being asked to speak in alliance chat to identify themselves.

3. Players who shout spoilers in alliance chat will be disqualified. For example don't say in AC "I've checked all the desert outposts, she's not there." You will only ruin the event for everyone else.

4. The Easter Bunny will NOT be wearing a [KISS] tag. We do not know the Easter Bunny's in game character names (so you cannot scan outposts adding a name to your party).

5. The Easter Bunny will use different accounts and different character names for each of the 3 events.

6. Players are allowed to work together privately to solve the riddle, but do this at your own risk, there is only one prize package.

7. The Easter Bunny reserves the right to give additional clues if players take too long to find her.

8. The Easter Bunny will NOT be hiding in elite areas (such as Urgoz Warren or The Deep).

9. The Easter Bunny will NOT be hiding in any outpost that is not required as part of the storyline of completing that particular campaign for a character that originated FROM that campaign. For example, if you are using a Canthan character to enter in Tyria and you haven't been to Droks or the Desert, that is entirely your problem, you should enter in Cantha instead.

10. An individual player will not be allowed to claim the end prize from more than 1 event (i.e. if you win in Tyria, you cannot win again in Cantha or Elona).

11. If a player is seen by the coordinators of the event to NOT be attending the pre-event gathering, they will be disqualified.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the Easter Bunny's character name?

Da Killa Derv wrote: how are we supose to know who to look for if u dont give us a name?

I think you're thinking of this backwards. The point of this event is NOT to run around outposts scanning for a person's name. You need to use your knowledge of GW to win, not the speed of your internet connection. Your first priority will be solving the riddle. If you do that, you will be able to locate the outpost you need to look for the Easter Bunny in. Once you're there, trust me, it will be completely obvious who the Bunny is. The key is to 'know your outposts'. The riddle will give you clues, so if you know your way around and can remember outposts well enough, you'll have no trouble with it.

2. Can someone collect the prize for me?

Elcaron The Wise wrote: If you solve riddle and u figure out name, outpost and dis can u send som1 to colect prize on ur behalf if u havn't got the outpost

Rule no. 6 clearly states that you are allowed to work together privately to solve the riddle, but as a word of warning, I take no responsibility for prizes that aren't delivered to you by your chosen 'friend'. If you can trust another [KISS] member to help you, then I see no issue with it. You cannot ask anyone outside [KISS] to find and collect the end prize from the Easter Bunny.

3. Will the Bunny hide in pre searing?

Da Killa Derv wrote: i have another question, for tyria will the event be taking place in pre or post ?

Good question. No, I don't consider it fair to have any part of the event in pre-searing, which wouldn't be accessable to players who have completed the game.

4. Will the Bunny hide in Eye of The North?

An in-game player wrote: Will the event for Tyria include Eye of The North outposts?

Likewise with my answer to question 3, I don't consider this a part of Tyria, so the event wont be taking place anywhere in EoTN.

5. Will there be consolation prizes?

Elcaron The Wise wrote: I can't wait! Anywho will there be a consolation prize for those who tried really hard and get the Bunny title track title "Atleast I Tried (800)"?

Good question. When I run events I normally like to have 'good sportsmanship' prize or something similar for those people who really gave it a go. An additional donation has since been made by a member to the amount of 50k (thanks very much Alex! ) and a further 30k by myself. The additional pot of 80k will be put towards discretional prizes of a sportsmanship nature, so the more you play nice, the more likely fortune will smile upon you.

6. What if the riddles are too hard?

An in-game player wrote: What if the riddles are all too hard and nobody can solve them?

Good question. That is why we have rule no. 7, which states that the Easter Bunny may choose to give additional clues if players aren't making enough progress within a reasonable time frame. If a clue is given and still no progress is made, easier and easier clues will be given until the Bunny is found.

7. Are the pets undedicated?

S U P E R F L Y wrote: people are asking if the pets are undedicated

Yes, the mini destroyers are all un dedicated, of course!

8. What district is the pre party in?

S U P E R F L Y wrote: im just curious if there is a specific district for the pre party?

Yes, the outposts for the pre party, including the districts, are listed in the timetable above.

9. Will the bunny be hiding in International Districts?

Da Killa Derv wrote: will the bunny also be hideing in inernational dis 1?

The answer to where the bunny is be hiding will be answered by the riddle itself. Sorry that I can't be more specific.

10. Will I be disqualified if my character is already in an outpost and the Bunny appears to hide there?

A private messenger wrote: What happens if a member of kiss happens to be in the outpost the bunny is hiding in before it starts? the bunny appears and they say they have won but they have only just announced the riddle in AC. would the member get disqualified?

Yes they would be disqualified. The Bunny will be doing her 'hiding' while all of the entrants are taking part in the pre-event gathering for 30 minutes. As it states above, people are REQUIRED to attend the pre event gathering in order to ENTER the event. Therefore, if a player is in the outpost chosen by the Bunny when she appears, they are not elligible to enter the contest because they should be at the pre-event gathering.

I suppose this is where I should mention: There are a half dozen extremly clever helpers for this event, all watching certain outposts before hand and during the tournament. Anyone who is seen to NOT be attending the pre event gathering will be added to the list of people who did not enter and therefore cannot claim the prize.

It is not possible for a player to claim the prize without obtaining the 2 required items, so even if a player found the bunny quickly, they wouldn't be able to claim the prize without these items. It is literally impossible for players to already posess the 2 required items I have chosen before the event starts (I can't tell you why).

Lastly, just to clarify, the riddle is NOT being announced in AC. As stated above, it can only be obtained from the forum or on wiki. An announcement will only be made in AC to tell players the riddle is available to read.

Tyria Riddle

Posted 14:30 GMT 22 March 2008

One fine Easter day in Tyria, all the bunnies were out to play.

But one cutesy bunny was miserable, and didn’t have much to say.

She was utterly bored of Easter, because it always seemed the same.

So the clever bunny had an idea, and decided to play a game.

“I’m going to hide in Tyria, find me first and you’ll claim the prize!

But I warn you, it will not be easy, for I’m a master of disguise.

I'll hide among my foreign friends, who drink vodka all year round.

I'll be hiding out of sight you see, and I shall not make a sound.

Look for me in a tree trunk cave, in the west where clouds mix with blue.

But in order to claim the bounty, there is something you must do,

Locate my two hidden chums, posing as Easter egg’s in pink.

From each you will obtain an item, but to find them you must think.

One sits near a southern lily pond, where the sun burns hot and bright.

The other plays in a western water fall, where the sky is dark as night.”

Then the cutesy bunny vanished, leaving her friends in wonder and awe.

The bunnies thought for one brief moment, then ran charging for the door!

After endless hours of searching, the confusion was hard to miss.

So the bunnies decided to ask for help, from their clever friends in [KISS].

If you think you can help them find her, then there is hope for the bunnies yet.

But be first and you’ll claim 50 platinum, and a Mini Destroyer Pet!

Comments from Bunny

I just want to say a big thank you to everyone for making this so much fun today. The pre event party was excellent, it was fantastic to see so many KISS people having fun together. I know a lot of people wanted the party to last even longer, but once the Riddle was posted people had to head off to solve it. Rest assured, we have many more events planned like this, so there will be plenty of parties to go to and more fun to be had. Well done to everyone who took part in this and made it such a success.

Cantha Riddle

PLEASE NOTE: For removal of doubt, the bunny will only be hiding in outposts that are compulsory for ALL players to visit as part of completing the campaign if they are characters that have been created IN factions. Foreign players beware.

Posted 14:30 GMT 23 March 2008

The very next day in Cantha, the bunnies all gathered around.

They thanked their friends from [KISS], for the cutesy bunny had been found.

Easter celebrations were in full swing, all and sundry were having a ball.

But the Tyria winner Assasinating Y O U, was having the most fun of them all.

Just then the bunnies were startled, by a piercing crackling sound.

The cutesy bunny appeared like magic, from a secret hole in the ground.

“You may have found me once, but let’s see if you can do it again!

This time it will not be as easy, for the clues shall not be as plain.

We're going to visit our friends this time, who will entertain us while we wait.

They're known for their love of pizza, I can't wait to fill my plate!

I’ll hide deep in northern Cantha, look for me on wooded shores.

But first you must find my friends, before the bounty can be yours.

Find my two new friends in pink, posing as Easter Eggs they hide.

From each you must obtain an item, so I suggest you lengthen your stride.

One sits among giant turtles, where amber and jade meet.

The other dances on a Western Island, in a courtyard of concrete!”

Again the cutesy bunny vanished, leaving everyone eager and amused.

They abandoned the party and fled, leaving their party treats unused.

Come help the bunnies find her, be first and you will win this:

50 platinum and a mini destroyer pet, if you’re a member of [KISS].

I didn't think it could get more fun than yesterday, but I stand corrected. Today was even more fun than yesterday! People in [KISS] have really done themselves proud today, with the sportsmanship shown and the respect for each other both before and during the event. Thank you to everyone for taking part today, you've all made this a pleasure to organise. And a big thank you to Xan Mark Il for making such an amazing video of yesterday and the lead up to the event (see the external link below).

Elona Riddle

Posted 14:30 GMT 24 March 2008

The sun was high in the sky, and it was a beautiful Elonian day.

The bunnies were still excited, from the victory the previous day.

They celebrated their remarkable friend, the winner Gina Albia from [KISS]

Being second to none yesterday in Cantha, Gina’s genius was hard to miss.

The bunnies waited patiently for news, for they knew more games were to come.

The cutesy bunny had promised another riddle, and it was eagerly expected by some.

An odd swishing sound was heard, which sent a chill through the small crowd.

The bunnies looked up at the gloomy skies, and cursed the emerging rain cloud.

But instead of seeing rain drops fall, the bunnies were amazed and surprised.

The cutesy bunny glided down before them, an entrance cunningly devised.

“Greetings my familiar friends, I trust you’re all bursting with vigor.

Today you must call all you can muster, the riddle will be harder and much bigger!

Today I will visit my Eastern friends, and enjoy their cuisine while I wait.

They’re known for an ancient royal dynasty, who suffered an unfortunate fate.

Look for me where no bird flies, I shall give you no other clue.

But to find me you must travel far, and find my hidden pink friends too.

From each you must obtain an item, posing as Easter Eggs they sit.

I urge you courage on your travels my friends, for the journey is long I admit.

One is surrounded by Eastern water, on a Shakespearean perch she skates.

The other hides where the dead do fear, for only madness and suffering awaits.”

Again the cutesy bunny vanished, on this instance leaving no pause.

The competitors fled in a bustling rush, each to further their own cause.

The bunnies knew the reward well, for it had long since been told.

Be the first in [KISS] to trade the cutesy bunny, for a mini destroyer and 50k gold!

Elona Winners List and comments

Comments from Bunny

I think today's turn out in Kamadan was the best ever. We out did ourselves proud and the sheer volume of KISS elfs was second to none. Today was the best finale I could have hoped for. Everyone has been so nice to each other. Even at the finish line when people were beaten and missed out by a few seconds, people were curtious to each other and congratulated each other thoroughly.

Today was the hardest to decide for the Sportsmanship prize out of all three of the days. Damodred Damodred had to win in the end. He found the bunny a long time before anyone else but the poor guy hadn't collected one of the required items. The sad thing is, the Easter Egg character told me he'd seen Damodred in the outpost but he left without noticing the Easter Egg!! Damn shame. That said, Damodred managed to show his quality and keep the bunny secret while he went back to retrace his steps. Good show my friend.

Thank You

On behalf of [KISS] and Il S U P E R F L Y Il, I would like to personally thank all of you who took part in the Find Bunny event. This event would not have been such an amazing success without such outstanding participation from both our Luxon and Kurzick brothers and sisters. This is the first time I have run an alliance event that included two Sister Alliances, and I never dreamed it would be so much fun.

I also want to offer my personal thanks to the following people who helped me throughout the event. If it weren't for their dedication and patience, the success of the past three days would not have been possible.

• Il S U P E R F L Y Il - our beloved leader - ever supportive and dedicated to the cause.
• Astral Shadowbane - Event co-host. Without my 'possum' I would never have been able to make all the bunnies in time.
• Calista Blackblood - Easter Egg player and riddle editor. Luv ya Chris sweetie.
• Ranger Shaun - Helped with Kurzick alliance chat announcements throughout the event.
• Nightshade Special - Video maker. Thank you so much for spending all those hours making the awesome video.
• Alice Skycloud - Vent owner. Where would we be without the KISS vent!
