[Results] Lumpy Santa's Crisis!

**Blaaaaaaaah** · 12-19-2008, 10:19 AM

The KEY to the ANSWERS!

We've all done plenty of quests in Fiesta, but more often than not, completing quests is like following an instruction manual from our resourceful FiestaWiki (well, for me, anyway). It's about time that we step into "the outside world" of Isya and accomplish the "big things" without a Wiki holding our hands (though I know many had gone to Icy/Triumph for help, LOL).

Coincidentally, Fiesta's Lumpy Santa (played by Guild Master Lump in Uruga) had a mission for the FFers! He sent a letter to his little helper, Blahs (played by… Blahs), which got torn up by Blah’s little naughty raccoons. Desperate, Blahs asked the FFers for help to find her letter!

Checkpoint 1 of the quest

Members were to find the pieces of letter scattered around FiestaFan and PM it back to Blahs! Starting piece was given, 8 pieces to be found. Locations were:

Frontpage of FiestaWiki
First post of Policy/FAQ thread.
First post of this announcement.
First post of SSOTW rules.
Emoticons window (click “more”) or here.
Blah’s Raccoon’s website URL.
Yosei’s profile picture
FF Photoplog Gallery

After putting the pieces together, we get the full letter!

Blahs then read the letter, and realised Lumpy Santa lost his key!! So she asked the members to help her find the key! Blahs started them off with a hint - was to seek the person that hasn’t found their true love yet. And dundundun, the person was Loveless!

Loveless then tells them what she knows about the key. Apparently a little mage was in possession of the key. Who’s a nub mage on FF… that’s rarely seen in Fiesta?

Checkpoint 2 of the quest

Ah, it’s got to be Rightclaw!

Members then found Rightclaw crying, and it turned out that the evil Spirits in Helga’s Tomb had stole the key!!! They tried to ask Spirit to give the key back, but she refused to admit that she took the key (mebbe she was still angry that Blahs didn’t tell her what was in the letter)!!! The only thing she kept saying was to not look in her property (hint hint, much?). LOL. Anyways. I know many people are stuck on this soo…

Dun dun dun dun….

Checkpoint 3 of the quest

THE KEY IS TO BE FOUND IN HER SIGGY!!!!!!!

For those who have found it, kudos to you! For those who haven’t, go and have a look and see if you can find it now (not that you’ll get anything for it, lololol).

Members then handed the key back to Blahs, who got it delivered back to Lumpy… BUT OH NOES! IT GOT LOST IN THE MAIL!!!!! … JK.

Well anyways. TADA! FF quest completed!

Gained -9000 hours.
Gained head-desking moments.
Gained frustration and desperation.
Gained e-cookie.

[Note :: Pieces of the letter and the key will be left where they are for another day or two for people to have a look at. Will be removed afterwards]

BDEx
Esen

--------------------------------------

Badges/Tokens

These were included to ensure that members did not crash through the quest without going to the designated "NPCs" in the correct order. It got confusing at the beginning, but thankfully the rest went well. Each badge/token was also personalised by having the member's name written on it to avoid stealing tokens and using them

--------------------------------------

Other Stuff

I hope everyone had enjoyed this "quest" if they participated, or enjoyed watching other members pulling their hair out and head-desking. All the mods had great fun watching members PMing everyone else (lol @ Icy/Triumph getting harassed because people took the "knowledgeable person" as a hint instead of "person who lost their true love". But as least it was a compliment to be thought as the most knowledgeable person right, Icy/Triumph?!?!).

I actually didnâ€™t think you guys will PM other members, so it was a funny surprise.

It was also hilarious to watch the way some of our members responded us. One tried to sweet talk Spirit into giving her the key, one decided to write lovely poems for us, others were kinda like "wtf?".

But yes, thanks to all those who participated and hope you have a Merry Christmas!

It was the damned emoticons one I could never find.

**Enraya** · 12-19-2008, 11:11 AM

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL Loveless I get it! xD
I gave up searching for the map pieces because I was only searching the wiki ... got a heart attack today when I saw a map piece the the SSOTW rules thread xD
And the key in Spirit's sig was cool LOL.

This is so much more well planned than any of Outspark's events! xD

**Lady-Loki** · 12-19-2008, 11:12 AM

YAY! And wow! I thought I made it to the top 5 first finishers, but I didn't think I was first to reach checkpoint 3!

And, to all the mods, THIS was a really fun event! Once a little logic started kicking in it didn't take as long as I originally expected. I spent the most time on the last part (it was prolly really close to the same amount of time it took for part 1, but I feel it was a little more time), (and I still wonder what map is the "Temple of Spirit" that I found in the wiki as I tried to decipher what "property" Spirit could actually own.

And . . . KT!!!! You really need to post all your adorable chibi's with their clues (maybe in order) for everyone who did not participate to see how very cute they are!!

LOL I did! I posted various links in my first post and if people clicked on them you'll see it.

Maybe I'll go bold them to catch a bit more attention!

**Loveless** · 12-19-2008, 11:18 AM

I was twidling thumbs waiting for people... :d Such an entertaining event for us mods too. Congratulations to winners and participants.
