SCHU
Annoucement 1
People of Egypt, hear me! I am SCHU the god of air.
SETESH has told all the gods about hookah's and the smoking of herbs and now all the gods of Egypt want to try this for themselves.
I, SCHU, have set the people of Egypt a task to provide the herbs for the gods to enjoy.
I will grant you 3 periods to provide herb offerings.
The gods will decide on just one herb they wish to partake of for each period.
You must provide just that one herb for that period.
But know, the gods have mighty appetites and will require as much of this one herb as the people of egypt can provide.
The gods grow impatient to test this smoking of herbs!
You will have limited time to provide this herb.
The gods will bestow favors on those who provide the most quanity of this one herb.
Egypt abounds with herbs, but only on this day will you know the herbs required for each offering period.

[ooc] NOTE 2: Only the most common types of herb will be used. Rare herbs will not be requested.
Official Notes
Common Herbs of Egypt
This is a list of the most common herbs as I've collected them. We should select an herb from this list. If we want to run this several times then a different herb should be requested for each run.
If we run this multiple times then perhaps we can have the event staggered to allow players in different time zones to participate.
List of Herbs
200 Anansi 100 Black Pepper Plant 500 Bluebottle Clover 600 Buckler-leaf 300 Cardamom 500 Chives 100 Cinnamon 1000 Common Basil 900 Common Rosemary 700 Common Sage 100 Covage 200 Crampbark 200 Crimson Lettuce 200 Daggerleaf 400 Dark Ochoa 1000 Discorea 100 Drapeau D'or 100 Dwarf Hogweed 200 Fleabane 300 Fool's Agar 100 Ginger Root 100 Ginseng Root 400 Glechoma 200 Harebell 200 Hazlewort 100 Hogweed 200 Houseleek 100 Hyssop 400 Indigo Damia 100 Katako Root 400 Lemondrop 200 Lythrum 200 Mariae 100 Meadowsweet 200 Mindanao 200 Morpha
Official Counts
We use the registration warehouse list to give out participation prizes.
We use the registration warehouses to get a list of all the players for the event (clipboard the names). When the event ends, Nik will have to look inside each basket for the amount and the owner of the basket and pass along the information to whoever is doing the score keeping.
Example of the score for herb X:
George | 200 | |
Jane | 5000 | (5 baskets 1000 herbs each basket) |
Joe | 100 | |
Mary | 100 | (199 herbs ROUNDED DOWN) |
Jane wins 1st place. George 2nd place. Joe and Mary tie for 3d place.
Taking Ownership of the Baskets
Nik will have to decide how and when to take ownership of the baskets and their contents.
Perhaps when she does the count she should flip ownership to herself or Aero Club so that the basket cannot be tampered with after the count happens?
Once she owns the baskets, she can remove the contents for destruction and tear down the basket.
If we run multiple versions of this, the removal should happen before the next run.
Basket Building Location Needs
- PGG Event 1 had 29 participants
- PGG Event 2 had 14 participants
Expect @20 participants for this event.
If we get 20 participants that is 20 baskets minimum. As each basket can hold 1,000 quantity a truly solo player will likely have only 1 or maybe 2.
But if players pool their herbs a single player may have many more baskets. If a guild pools all their herbs for one player, that could be a large quantity (eg 10,000 Common Basil) or 10 baskets.
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.
Prize Considerations
We can offer more levels of prizes.
What kind of prizes should we offer for this “quick” event?
If we have several editions of this event should the prizes change?
Do we want a big blow out party at the Flight Deck for this or save that for the larger events?
- Fireworks shortages
- Wine shortages
We use about 40 bottles per event
My production is about 15-20 bottles per event if there's time to get it 12+%
There are no problems with herbs though – we have loads of that.
Where and how does Nik want to give out the prizes?
Future Events of this type
If the Dump Event is successful it could be the model for future events.
If it works well then it could be more of a Ninja Event for a lot of things: bugs, herb seeds, tadpoles.
If successful and easy to administer we can ninja this onto the Calendar whenever Nik feels like having a Hurry-Scurry Event. :)
Event Q & A
Q1: Isn't 100 units too large?
First is I wouldn't /couldn't play this game because I don't have 100 of many herbs. Do you think we could make the amounts more friendly to poorer/newer players?
I would rather see bundles of 10 myself, but as I said I am not a rich player.
A1
The quanities are actually half of what I've collected because I traded 1/2 of all my herb stock to another player.
I picked the quanity of 100 because of this list and the amounts on it.
I figured some players will have exactly 100 or others might have 200,300 etc.
However, this is not necessarily cast in concrete and can be changed.
Q2: How many types of herbs will be required?
Second is how many herbs will be selected?
A2
There will be just one herb required on event day. It will be announced at the start of the event.
Q3: Will it be known ahead of time?
Will there be a list posted ahead in case someone wants to come to the park loaded and lives way out.
A3
We can post a list of possibles, prior to the event.
All the herbs on the list will be the more common herbs in Egypt. Nothing rare.
Nik wants a tie-in with the herb gathering event, so it's up to her how she wants to put out the list.
More Questions
Question 1: Is it unclear that we will ask for just one herb type?
Question 2: Is it unclear that if the herb is Common Basil we want 100,200,300 units of this?
Question 3: Do you think that players will not have 100 units of such an herb?
Question 4: Can we change the required count to something less than 100?
How much of a difficulty would it be to change to another counting method (say 50 units) and have the counting go OK?
A4
Setting the value at 100 is really a gimmick in the game. It's only purpose is to set a round number and make players try to reach it.
Changing the amount should make no difference to the count because a basket will have X debins in it.
If we change the event so that there must be at least 25 herbs for the participation prize then when a players basket is checked we can verifiy that:
a) yes there's 25 min here b) total quantity is X units of Required Herb
High score is high score no matter if its by 1, 10, 100.
ex: Player A has 2,599 herbs Player B has 2,249 herbs Player A is going to win.
The other gimmick was to Round Down odd amounts to avoid a "near miss" collision.
ex: Player A has 521, Player B has 520. Player C has 522.
In Round Down scoring, all 3 would win (on a tie). If it's high score then Player C gets 1st, A gets 2nd, B gets 3d. (fixed typo here)
Question 5: Will players have enough time to get the herbs?
If I understand Nik's timing plan, the Herb Dump Event would happen just after a Herb Gathering Event (next day?). If we add a notice to the Herb Gathering Event that references the Herb Dump Event, is that enough time for a player to gather enough of these types of herbs?
A5
My original thought is to just have people bring whatever they have stored in their warehouses.
Nik wants to tie this in with the Herb Gathering event. Im not sure how the Herb Gathering Event will run, perhaps Nik can chime in here to explain the mechanics there and how in might interact with the dump event.
Question 6: Should we publish a list of "possible herbs" for the Dump Event?
Perhaps 5 herbs that could be called out but only 1 of these will be called out on Event Day?
List example [Common Basil, Discorea, Verdant Squill, Thyme, Wild Lettuce]
A6
If we publicize the list of potential herbs, I would like the list to be broad enough to avoid a wholesale slaughter amongst players trying to gather "THE" herb.
Question 7: The Dump Event herb does not have to be freshly gathered does this need more clarification?
The Dump Event herb does not have to be freshly gathered, it can be from any source, trade, exchange, guild donation etc.
Does this need more clarification?
