''Khaemwaset'': Okay welcome to Funtasy. Your cuddly RP channel dedicated to putting the FUN back into egypt
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Cooking in Tale 4 has been an interesting experience. And with the tale appearing to suffer fro ma midtelling malaise a number of peeps are trying to recreate Egypt's active vibe.
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': So, next weekend will see a visit from an old friend.... the IRON CHEF TOURNEY
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': and with me here at funtasy HQ is murtha.... welcome
 
 
 
''murtha'': Thanks. and good afternoon egypt!
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': And for the moment i am suspending off topic posts
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': how are you murtha?
 
 
 
''murtha'': oh i'm just wonderful. it's spring and the gods are drunk with all the beer sacrificed
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': lol
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Okay, so Iron Chef... what is it?
 
 
 
''murtha'': Iron Chef is a cooking contest. cooks are given given baskets of ingredients and asked to cook simple dishes to certain positive stats. no one will know what they have until they open their baskets
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': So no sneak previews then *grin*
 
 
 
''murtha'': what would be the fun in that ?
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': true. Okay so can anyone join in?
 
 
 
''murtha'': well for simplicity sake and the prize engine we have to limit cometitors to 8. but..if egypt likes this i'll do another before tale's end
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': excellent... but will any level cook be welcome? Some folks (inlcuding myself) only have lvl 2)
 
 
 
''murtha'': yes of course. The requirements will be simple
 
 
 
''murtha'': such as postive end and minimum neg dex
 
 
 
''murtha'': of course the dishes will have to have a postive duration
 
 
 
''murtha'': so very simple receipes will do the trick
 
 
 
''murtha'': though i've included enough in each basket so that dupilcate receipes should not happen
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': So even i with my limited cookign skills should be able to have a chance of winning?
 
 
 
''murtha'': thats a resounding yes!!
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': so when will this event be held?
 
 
 
''murtha'': Saturday, April 24 as {time:0900-1900}
 
 
 
''murtha'': kitchen stadium is located in QR  634 -6217
 
 
 
''murtha'': just south of CS
 
 
 
''murtha'': hoping to cut down on lag that way
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Okay so you have 8 cooks right?
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': What about the rest of us? Can we come and taste?
 
 
 
''murtha'': i'm finalizing the list now. one or two haven't committed but i have reserves. and audience is welcome to eat the dishes between rounds
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': And each contestant has the same goodies to cook with?
 
 
 
''murtha'': i'm hoping we can make this a regular feature
 
 
 
''murtha'': yes
 
 
 
''murtha'': the way it will work is..
 
 
 
''murtha'': i'll draw names to pair off cooks
 
 
 
''murtha'': each pair will have identical ingredients . they will be given 10 mins to cook their dish
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': A bit like MAsterchef then :D
 
 
 
''murtha'': the negative stats will be subtracted from the postive (only the requred ones)
 
 
 
''murtha'': the highest score wins that round
 
 
 
''murtha'': the winners will be paired and so on until one cook is left standing
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': I should point out at this point that I will be commentating whilst one of my fellow Funtasy mods will be moderating :)
 
 
 
''murtha'': yes and thanks to Funtasy all of egypt can participate!
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Okay that covers the basics... before I open up the board for questions How many ingrediants in each basket? And does this inlcude herbs?
 
 
 
''murtha'': each basket will have standard bases and herb. i've put 20 items in each basket
 
 
 
''murtha'': there are some ringers though so be careful:)
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': hehe sounds fun...
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Ok I think that covers the basics.. so if anyone has any questions pelase pm me. We will take short break for random chat and then resume
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Alternatively post questions to Funtasy and we can mod them :)
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': ***INTERMISSION***
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': *****HELLO EGYPT***
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': As nobody has posted questions i thought i would chat to murtha about her time in egypt....
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': How long have you played?
 
 
 
''murtha'': hmm i've been here since near the beginning of tale 2. a couple of friends from another game brought me over and I fell in love with the concept and the people here
 
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': And why cooking?
 
 
 
''murtha'': well, i only cook by published receipe. But, Egypt is suffering from a bit of apathy and I remembered how much fun Iron Chef was in tale 2 . Plus i have warehouses of herbs so..it just came together
 
  
''Khaemwaset'': something proactive and getting people doing stuff ?
 
 
''murtha'': I like to create fun, as those who have seen my playground for sheep know.
 
 
''murtha'': and it might be a good way to wake up egypt:)
 
 
''murtha'': plus..the events team is awesome, but some of their events require you to play for hours to accomplish anything. This is an hour or two, if that makes any kind of sense
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Ok a few questions from an audience member... Firstly how many herbs or arent you going to tell?
 
 
''murtha'': how many herbs? it varies depending on the stats requred. some requirements  need more
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': The ringer--- will it give positive or negative attributes? Or is that to be determines by contestant?
 
 
''murtha'': i've chosen ingreds from Orrin's charts and some are there that give no help or hurt to the dish and some are there that will give a more neg effect
 
 
''murtha'': there is only one or two per basket, but i did want to shake things up
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': So the contestant has to eitehr think or experiment?
 
 
''murtha'': aye. of the common bases there are only 6 debens of each though
 
 
''murtha'': and 1 of each herb
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': And your volunteers... are they recurring players or new to to Egypt?
 
 
''murtha'': both
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Excellent.
 
 
''murtha'': that should make it more interesting
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Definately!
 
 
''murtha'': i will publish the contestents as soon as I firm up
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Hopefully a few gastro points?
 
 
''murtha'': i'm thinking of awarding extra points if someone comes up with a MP
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Okay what about prizes?
 
 
''murtha'': that is random enough though, i'm not sure how that would work
 
 
''murtha'': okay prizes. and special thanks to orrin for them
 
 
''murtha'': the Iron Chef Winner will receive a huntsman pole
 
 
''Alexa'': will this be all cooking level 1 recipes or will it vary?
 
 
''murtha'': the 8 contests will receive 3 wings of horus each
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Nice!
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': And are folks who are audience encouraged to come along and acro, hookah, wine/beer taste?
 
 
''murtha'': i'm sure something could be done. it's a good idea
 
 
''murtha'': i have thousands of herbs that could be put to good use
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Okay as with many Player Run events we need YOU, yes that is right YOU to come along and take part!
 
 
''murtha'': and alexa, the cooking level receipes matter in how many bases you use
 
 
''murtha'': usually the simplier the better
 
 
''murtha'': in tale 2 we had a level 2 cook walk off with the grand prize
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': And if other folks like the idea of taking part.. you will try and arrange another before end of telling
 
 
''murtha'': yes, if there is interest
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Okay folks... that about wraps things up here.
 
 
''murtha'': all it will take for future events is cooks and ingreds
 
 
''murtha'': and of course wheedling more prizes
 
 
''Khaemwaset'': Just to remind you that you can see (hopefully up-to-date) event information on the Funtasy wiki page

Latest revision as of 12:52, 20 July 2010

Welcome to Funtasy's little bit of the wiki. It aims to put the FUN back into Egypt through hosting Player Run Events and allowing the opportunity to role-play! Here we hope to post a forthcoming list of events, interviews, discussions and competitions.


Funtasy logo 1.jpg


What is Funtasy?

Funtasy is one of ATITD's 'microphones' or chat channels which broadcast to the whole of Egypt. As with all the microphones it is a moderated channel and abuse is not welcome. To join type /join Funtasy


Our aims are to make the dullness of grinding evaporate, to make you smile and more importantly to involve everyone who plays. Getting tired of your friends leaving then tune in and get involved to help banish those sad feelings. angry at the way the telling is going and that no-one is getting involved and helping out? Then do not moan, come and join us for some merriment.


Remember... We cannot have fun without you. !


Our founder was Elfus (who sadly has since left the game) who wanted a channel where people could have their own events (as distinct from dev events and story) that brought some FUN into Egypt. Funtasy has tried in the past to host its own storyline and introduce characters who are separate from the Official eGenesis story line. We also brought you The Male Oprah Show with cory0210.

Occasionally we like to have RANDOM discussions and chats on various subjects. These are just to get people TALKING to one another. Recent RANDOM chats include: 'What is your favourite guitar solo' and 'favourite Beetles track'.


Events and Event Coverage

Upcoming Events

The SRACSO awards.

A light hearted and good humoured celebration of the personalities of the Tale (whether currently active or not). I will be trawling the forums and wiki for ideas. No prizes will be awarded aside from the honour and glory.

Possible award categories include 'Translator of the Telling', 'Best newcomer to ATITD (male and female), 'Best name for a monkey/otter'. Yes some of the awards may be tongue in cheek so please do not be offended.

Past Events

Saturday April 24th 2010 - Iron Chef - Queen's Retreat FuntasyMic/EventIronChef

Interviews

Discussion

Coming soon

Possible topics include (and we need volunteers for this- hint hint) are masterclasses on raeli mosaics and veneries.

Competitions

Early in the telling Elfus started a number of competitions (with prizes) based on a number of subjects. Past subjects included Ancient Greek and Egyptian mythology.

We intend to start this again with Stevehotep acting as quizmaster. There should be prizes and we will post what they are going to be here. Please note that it is likely that prizes will be donated by players. We hope that it will be the spirit of taking part rather than the prize that will encourage you.


End of Tale Quiz

To be announced.
