DNB2: If you're a newbie, and you like money... (in Contests)

FAME.
RICHES.
COMMON SENSE.
Holy stinky stinky, where do I sign up?


Did you wake up this morning wishing you too could have $80,000+ worth of CB prizes? Did you dream of eternal glory? And pennies raining down from the heavens? Lucky you, your wishes have been granted! All you have to do is win the Daily Newbie Blender!

Table of Contents. 'Cuz I can.
I. DNB Introduction.
II. Requirements.
III. Participation.
IV. List of Eternally Glorious.
V. The Daily Questions.

I. Say whaaat?
The Daily Newbie Blender is (as of now and until I run out of fame, riches, and common sense to give out) a contest I'm hosting. Think of it as my effort to make the world a better, smarter, and more communist place to live in.

The DNB is really simple. I will ask three daily CB-related questions. All questions can and will be easily answered by either exploring the Help! Wiki or by just being sociable in chat. The first person to chatmail me with acceptable answers wins!

Earning competency could not be any simpler. What about the other rewards? Every day, I will send $80k (Thanks due to Linguala) to my character "2 Kool 4 Skool" with it, 2 Kool will attempt to buy equipment to the best of my abilities while leaving a sizable amount of the $80k liquidated. Winner of the daily Newbie Blender will be rewarded everything on 2 Kool, and their names in italics (almost as good as being a supporter!) will be added to the List of the Eternally Glorious!

II. Can I participate in this tournament of Champions?
A. When did you start playing CB? Was it more than a week ago?
B. Is your name listed on the List of the Eternally Glorious?

If the answer to any of the above anti-requirements is yes, then you are not eligible to win the fame or riches prizes in the Daily Newbie Blender. But hey, you can still participate and further your fun and knowledge of CB!

III. So... how do I participate again?
1.) Read the daily questions. Answer them. Use google. Use your mom. Use the stranger in the unmarked van with the candy. I don't care are how you get the answers, although I do recommend the wiki (http://www.carnageblender.com/wiki/).
2.) What is chatmail? What does it do? How do you do it? Figure it out, and send me a chatmail with the answers you got in #1.
3.) Wait. Explore the wiki, the chatroom, or the cash register of the local gas station. Tomorrow, I will announce the winner of today's Daily Newbie Blender. If you were the FIRST person to chatmail me with the CORRECT answers, that winner will be you.

IV. THE LIST OF THE ETERNALLY GLORIOUS.
I. MalaYourSire - Perhaps it was due her chilled demeanor or just owning a pair of sweet shades, but Mala had the heart of a champion. Yes, she did stumble a bit along the way. But she dared to dream, and she persevered while everyone else cuddled with their stuffed animals and wanted mommies. And she came back a champion. :D

V. The Daily Questions. Without further ado...
1. What makes Fireball different than any other direct damage spell?
2. If I equip my minion with a Fluted Steel Cuirass, what penalties to stats and skills will my minion take if any at all?
3. What's the difference between melee weapons and ranged weapons?


Good luck! :P

stevebat,

looking at your character size, I'd say go ahead and enter! Since you've been away a year, you've missed a whole pile of changes anyway. :)
