Up For Grabs:
• As many as 600 beans & up to 3 shinies spread over 16 tasks! (10 beans per task, 10 bonus beans each week for submitting all four tasks over any given week. Double total beancount at 8 tasks, then tripled at 16).
• The Frigid Fire award:
For completing 8 tasks.
• The Incandescent Ice award:
For completing all 16 tasks.
• The BBO Blue Medallion award:
To all Frigid Fire/Incandescent Ice recipients from the Snow Miser’s Team in the event they become the triumphant team.
• The BBO Bronze Medallion award:
To all Frigid Fire/Incandescent Ice recipients from the Heat Miser’s Team in the event they become the triumphant team.
— QUESTIONS may be posted below or directed to any of the organizers via Private Messaging.
Questions might include:
• Which Team will I be on?
Members of Ravenclaw are already divided into two nests (blue and bronze) here at HOL pending the first letter of their name, while participants from the other three houses will be split up to make things fair based on the order they join, creating as close to even numbers between teams as possible.
• How is the winning team determined?
Active members of both groups will have their beans totaled for the given week, then averaged, then halved, resulting in a team tally of either Fire Beans or Ice Beans which will be combined over the course of our activity, resulting in your team total. These numbers are to be announced periodically, though will be subject to change should someone go back to submit tasks from prior weeks. Up to 25 Fire or Ice Beans are available to both teams each week for a total possible score of 100. Team Scores DO factor in weekly bonuses, but do NOT include extra beans which have been doubled or tripled.
• How late can I start participating?
You may join in at anytime, however everything is due by Monday November 28th at 11:59pm (HOL time).
• What if I can't (or don't want to) do a Task?
If accomplishing parts of this activity becomes impractical or undesirable for any reason, please feel more than encouraged to ask for an alternative if one hasn't been provided, suggest something, or skip that section altogether. Our goal is to have fun! We simply wish to support your most enjoyable experience.
• Why are there tasks missing?
On posting days of any given week, Organizers will present their own tasks as schedules allow. Tasks will be numbered to maintain the general order for tracking, however will not necessarily be posted in this same order. If you aren't seeing something, check back a little later and you should be good to go!
• How do I post Graphics?
A few popular Image Hosting sites are Postimage, Imgur, and Imgbb where you can upload your work, then receive a link toward sharing elsewhere. The “BBCode” to attach on The Roost forum submissions (which can be accomplished automatically for you by the click of a button from options at the top of your editing page) is [*img][*/img] with url in the middle (i.e. [*img]link[*/img]) — NOTE: You would remove the asterisks (*) in order for this code to be successful. They’re added here to display the example effectively.
• Can I come and go as I please?
Absolutely! There are no rules against passing over anything you're not interested in, or doing tasks out of order. No pressure at all.
• Do I have to post submissions to the forums?
While we love seeing people posting/interact together should that be their preference, if you would feel more comfortable turning in some or all of your work via e-mail or private message where prompted otherwise, that's perfectly fine! While creative tasks submitted privately may be sent to any of us, those which require an objective answer (i.e. puzzles) MUST be sent to the presenting organizer. ALL tasks sent privately must also include Prof. Sindor Aloyarc to assist with end of activity tracking.
