Directions to the Registration Warehouses

When you enter through the gateway, continue to the lake area. On your left you will see 3 banners. This is the registration area.

There are two registration corrals: one for solo entry and one for guild entry.

Please build your registration baskets in the appropriate corral.

Once you have registered please queue at the Blue Banner to receive your building lot. Please build your bonfire only in your assigned lot.

Please wait patiently to receive your building lot.

Please be patient, SETESH is at work.

Registration

Solo players will register by placing a personal chit in their basket near the Blue Banner.

Guilds will register by having an Elder in the Guild place a chit in a basket near the White Banner.

To enter both categories you must have 2 registration baskets, one in each registration corral.

You may enter both categories but each must have its own bonfire.

If you enter both categories, please inform the Aero Club official that you are entering 2 categories so that you will be given 2 building lots.

Baskets require 28 dried flax + 8 boards

You will need 1 personal chit to register for the individual event.

You will need 1 personal chit of a guild ELDER to register for the guild event.

Official Notes

Official Counts

We use the registration baskets as our list to give out participation prizes.

We will have to track the locations of the bonfires in case they get over built by a larger one.

We can use the “built by” name to help track the bonfires and what category it is in.

We have to note players building in multiple categories, if they are the ones making the initial bonfire, as their names could be on more than 1 bonfire. A player could technically have 3 bonfires in their name but each entered into a separate category.

Example of multiple ownership to watch for:

Solo Bonfire Built by Player A Player A Team Bonfire Built by Player A Player A + Player B Guild Bonfire Built by Player A Player A (as an Elder in the Guild)

Largest bonfires in multiples of 100 win. Odd lot amounts are rounded down. Ex 199 = 100.

Basket Building Location Needs

Sculpture Event had 15 entries and 39 voters.

Expect @30 participants for this event because of Solo, Team and Guild cross registration.

The area where the baskets should be built needs to accommodate this and remain visible to all players and officials.

Also, some areas cannot be built on due to landscaping items, such as the area directly next to the piers, which is a roadway item.

Bonfire Building Location Needs

Bonfires can get really big. So the location for them may need some consideration.

Small bonfires of 500 wood could easily be lost by the overlap foot print of a 50,000 wood bonfire.

Special care and perhaps some Nik pushing might be needed to keep the bonfires separate and visible.

Using Sculpture Bases

Aero Club pre-builds a series of sculpture bases about 10x10 cords apart as building lots.

Each player or guild gets 1 lot. A player entering both sections (individual and guild) will have 2 lots.

When a player is ready for a building lot, the Official take them to one of the 2 areas (solo/guild).

They are assigned a building lot (sculpture base) for the event.

The official makes a basket and gets another chit from the player (solo/guild elder chit) and puts that in the basket. This basket is owned by Aero Club/Events.

Locations

There are 10 premade bases at the blue banners. (near the blue snake)

There are 6 premade bases at the white banners. (east valley)

Put 1 basket per entry in the corral (like we did the orchids). Put 1 chit (solo or guild in the basket) Players can then start to build.

If we run out of pre-made bases, we can just do baskets at @ the same distance. An official can determine where the next bonfire in line should go. It ought to be clear by then the direction and number of bonfires we are going to get. The pre-made bases are just rulers and have no purpose other than to keep the bonfires 10/15 coords apart.

Building Lots and Registration

Zhukuram: Hi Looks like Im going to miss you and Nik today

Zhukuram: so Im going to put my concept for event registraton in a chat to you

Zhukuram: 1. players build their own basket at the banner (blue=solo / white guild) and place a personal chit in the (elder must be the one to enter the guild)

Zhukuram: 2. baskets can be labled with the name of the guild (in case multiple entries by the same elder)

Zhukuram: 3. An Official takes them to the buidling lot (blue/solo/by the snake) (white/guild/east end of the park) (there are banners at each spot)

Zhukuram: 4. Offical builds a basket in the scultpure base corral. Labels it with the name of the player and guild.

Zhukuram: 5. *important* The player gives you a chit to put in this building lot basket (similar to the registration) which is stashed in the basket (basket must be owned by Aero Club or events)

Zhukuram: at the end of the event all the bonfires will have their ownership transfered to SETESH. The basket at the build site is the way to see who's bonfire it was.

Prize Considerations

We have 3 categories of prizes: Solo, Team and Guild

There are separate participation prizes for Solo and Team but not Guild.

I would like Top 3 and Top 5 to avoid First-Place-itis.

This is very much a PVP type event. The prizes have to be worth much more than the wood being offered up. Some guilds and players have enormous supplies of wood. To get them to do this the prizes have to be extra special. We want players to be willing to dump 100,000 wood or more for them.

I would like to suggest a special “In The Middle of the Event” announcement that any player, team or guild building 1,000,000 wood bonfire would get something UTRA AWESOME.

Participation Awards for Solo 250 Charcoal

Participation Awards for Team 500 Charcoal

Awards Party Considerations

I think we should have a big party at the Flight Deck for this event.

We should combine the bonfires into gi-normous ones and set them on fire at the Flight Deck.

Nik can go in stealth mode to light them up.

Wine and Hookahs of course. Fireworks if we want them. We still have some in the Party Pantry.
