My idea with the contest is that with the gnomish box contraption we can pop out an identical box to each contestant. Each will pull the contraption to get a box with an identical lock and trap. I never thought the picking contest we do with the Masters at the Guild was fair since some were trapped, some not and both traps and locks varied in difficulty. I wanted a fair contest, not a lottery.
We will have a fair contest, a fair amount of death, and a great deal of silvers at stake. What fun! Even if you think odds are against you because you only double train, show up and take part because one lucky contestant will win 1,000,000 silvers just for being in the right place at the right time! Another reason is each class pays 3 places. You might get lucky and be one of 3 who show up for your class. Third pays 250,000 silvers.
5 classes will compete:
0-20
20-40
40-60
60-80
80-100
Each class will pay:
First - 1,000,000 silvers
Second - 500,000 silvers
Third - 250,000 silvers
Rogue Roulette:
Pick past the rod trap. Each successive box will have a harder trap. Last rogue standing wins 1,000,000 silver.
Mystery Prize:
1,000,000 silvers

PS. Although I can't compete for the silvers, I will be picking alongside you in Rogue Roulette.

The contest will be at 9pm eastern standard time on Friday the 25th. Going to any Silverwood Manor in the lands will take you to the same place. I didn't realize it either, but all the Silverwood Manors are connected. It makes sense considering you wouldn't want to have a mentor show up at one and not the others.
There will be alot of silvers on the line, 5 different classes with a million silver top prize for each class. There will also be a Survival Game where each contestant will try to pick past a rod trap with the traps getting progressively harder. A million silver prize for the winner of the Survival Game.
If this is a success I will try and make a picking contest a more regular event than it has been in the past.

We'll be running announcements in the Landing, Icemule and Ta'Vaalor. Each have a Silverwood Manor you can enter the Manor to participate in the event from any of those cities.
Each round will be a 5-7 minute sprint to see who can rack up the most points in that time frame. When the time is up, we'll have our winners for that round! We'll reset and change settings for the next level group. At the end we'll do the survival round.
We look forward to seeing you there.
