As for Summer Euro, I'll have to discuss that with Eleyan and Seri.

Ok! I meant the Summer & Winter Euro Parties before last summer, 2009 and before that. Just out of curiosity, were they official or local ones?

Yes, but Mother had just assumed Dralyn would agree with her. :look: So we're discussing it. :)
I know, I know..... it is positively shocking that we don't have the answers to everything agreed upon beforehand. :look:

Should have a definitive answer in a day or so. :)

Neisa - yeah, if you remember people who attended, just send a list, and the minions will contact those people to verify. No biggie!

Taika - yeah, those are all official.

Loira - I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you didn't mean your post the way it sounded. I read Mother's post, which is why I said that we would have to discuss it. Based upon strict definitions, Summer Euro 2010 would not count for any Merits related to Official Events. However, given the irregular nature of the event in question, we may decide to allow it to count. Once Seri, Eleyan, and I have come to an agreement, I'll post in here so people know.

Yeah, because of it's uniqueness, Summer Euro 2010 will count towards Globetrotter and Events Attendance merits.

Thanks for being patient with us as we work out the fine details, everyone!

I figured it wouldn't be a big deal, thank you Dralyn and Loreniel! I didn't see it before. So if I ever qualify for more than one or two gold things and want a reward that comes up than the two listed maybe I'll bother myself with it. :P

I'm reading these over a bit more, and I have a couple more questions. Neither of these are terribly pressing, but I'm still curious.

Under Events Participation, regarding the "Participate in the Amyrlin's Tournament 3 times" silver badge - does this mean that you have to participate in all three events in the Tournament for it to count as one time? For example, what if someone just did the sumo wrestling this year, but didn't do the sword fighting or stategery - would they get one point towards that badge, or would they have to do all three events (sumo, sword fighting, stategery) to get it?

I think I asked Viv about this, but I'm not totally sure. It was already stated that if someone served as a mod for one forum and a chat op for a 12-month period, doing both jobs, they would get 2 years towards the staff badge because they devoted a year to each position, but I have a question, and I'm just going to use myself as an example because I'm pretty sure it's a unique situation. Right now I'm serving as a moderator for both General and Olde Warder and Hen. At the end of my 6-month term as a moderator for these two forums, will I gain one year towards the staff badge since I was a moderator for two forums, or will it be a cumulative 6-month 'Moderator' position and only count towards six months?

Also, random typo - in the Wild Card category, on the bullet list an award is referred to as the "Climbing the Ladder" merit, and in the last sentence it's referred to as the "Climbing the Tree" merit.

Thanks! And again, totally no rush. :P

I'm not 100% sure since it's 'one' position still really, but I think it would count as a year. :look:

Better wait for someone else's reply :laugh:

Wow, this is cool. Sorry I haven't read it till now. I kinda hide out in the healers guild a bit much. :laugh:

But I got a couple of questions.
I have been here over 2 years. But the bio-thing for me says the date I signed in on the new server and all of my posts prior to the migration is gone. Is there a list that confirms when I actually joined? I also want to make sure I get this right too. You all will start rewarding for epic pranks? That is so awesome if that is true. Argent and myself are the class clowns of the "Citizens". :P

Jeffan - participating in any one piece of the Tournament counts. I'll have to discuss your specific example with Viv, Eleyan, and Leora, but my initial thought is that you are a moderator, which is the position, so if you're a moderator of multiple forums, it's still just being a moderator. I'll get a more definite answer to you on that one.

Yavahnin - yeah, we have a list with join dates, and yeah, we'll start awarding for epic pranks.

Thanks, Dralyn! :D And yeah, that's kinda what I figured. It makes the most sense, but I just want to clarify because there are about four of us in the same boat this term. I appreciate you putting the time into making this insanely thorough. :D

Aaaand another question, just for clarification!

In the Online Spirit Category, it says "You will earn Silvers for these as many times as you actually earn them. If you pull off an Epic Prank more than once, you'll get the Silver for it more than once. If you earn multiple Members' Choice Awards, you'll receive a Silver for each of them."

Does that only count for those two being ones you can earn multiple times? Or are the other two (the one for online festivals and the one for being chosen as great participant in forum/chat) also ones you can earn multiple times?

It just wasn't totally clear, so... yeah.
