"Race to the Centre of the Universe"
Open to all on Illyriad (well, everyone with a scout or advanced scout) - a race to the centre! We can't get exactly to the centre so we're racing to square 0 -2 (two below Centrum), one entry per player.
HOW DO I WIN?
The person whose scout arrives at the finish closest to the finish time (8pm Sunday 4th September 2011 - Illy time) is the winner. It doesn't matter how fast you are or how far you have to travel, you just start your scout at the right time. For example, my scouts take 19hrs 10mins and 22 secs to reach 0 -2 (you try - start one, get a time, then recall him/her). So to get to the finish on time I need to start my scout at 1:49 and 38 secs am (get up in the middle of the night). Your start time may vary.
GM (the system) is timing and announcing the winners, so we should get the closest times within 100th of a second.
To get a scout you need to build a consulate and research in Diplomacy - Negotiation/ Scouting
WHAT DO I WIN?
The Prize pot has contributions from lots of different people, who will ship directly to the winner!
If your store room is small, then they will ship in small quantities so none are wasted. The winner will be made on Illy for about 4 weeks (that is, if you spend as fast as I do!)
Contributions so far are:
Gold - a little over 3 million
Basic Resource (wood clay stone iron food) - 20,000 of each
Advanced Resource - 1000 horses, 3500 cows, many thousands in leather armour, spears, bows, cows, saddles, plate armour, chain armour, swords, beer, books
Partial lists of the contributions and contributors can be found in Caravanserai threads under "7 Days - a weekly newsletter" and "Race to the Centre of the Universe"
GOOD LUCK - and PLAY FAIR
