Something strange is going on, I Emailed in request for mini's last friday and no response yet.

Unfortunately, that's not strange.

I think the csr mailbox isn't checked as often and is drowned in junkmail. Try emailing sandy at reality dot com directly. If that doesn't work, give them a call and ask for minis.

I send a message to the CSR address and to Lee about a week ago - no response.

I just asked Sandy today, she said I'll have them emailed tomorrow.

Celebrating post # 8000, allow us to say .............

There was still NO Mailer announcement, NO suckoff list, NOR any prize statement in this morning's auto arena posts. Sad

Tourney announcement has been located, although there is no link yet:

Prize is:

And for this tournament only, managers of Tournament Champions will earn an opportunity that ranks as every guildmaster's greatest dream: They will be given one Zombie Potion, which allows them to choose any of their dead warriors and resurrect it as a zombie! Zombies are not known for their intelligence (-4 Wit) but they have enhanced Strength (+2), Will (+2), Attack skills (+2 to base), the maximum damage ability for its attributes (in perpetuity), and can use both arms (and legs) equally well! (All modifications will leave the warrior within natural boundaries for their arena.) All Dead Tourney Tournament Champions will be resurrected and granted immortality; Tournament Victors of the Dead Tourneys will only be resurrected. Immortal warriors may not challenge the Dark Arena.

Edit:

Full credit goes to Assur for discovering the pdf at the above link!

How very interesting and different.

Will probably create some interesting discussions.

Didn't really need that double-post, did we?. Confused

I'm sure I could find something to throw the prize on... I have a ton of crappy dead warriors Smile

Intrepid reporter Marma Duke interviewed RSI about the specifics of this new TC prize. Here is what he learned:

"max damage will remain in effect regardless of future" (like a normal max damage potion)

"the +2 attack and +1 attack from ambi will stack to +3 as long as the bonus doesn't take them out of bounds" (like normal ambi and +1 bonus potions)

"the stat bumps and shrinks will not be treated as trains and the skills will not burn" (so the warrior will have new base attributes)

"you can not use this prize on a warrior with less than 7 wit. all warriors will remain 84 pts." (presumably this prohibits use on warriors with 20-21 ST and 20-21 WL, as well)

"you can not use this on an adm guy who dies in a fight as they are rezzed immediately"

"race will be changed to zombie"

"if you DA a new rollup and apply this prize it will run in apprentices and not rookies"

I think the double posts must be how the Consortium got to 8,000 posts!

As for the prize (which i won't win anyway) - that is interesting. Granted I have no experience with prizes, but most seem to have obvious aplications. I really don't know what warrior would best make use of such a prize. Interesting anyway.
