Daily Newbie Blender 4. EASY MONEY. (in Contests)

The Daily Newbie Blender. EASY MONEY.
$50,000 bounty for three complete answers.
$40,000 bounty for three acceptable answers.
$30,000 bounty for two* acceptable answers.
$20,000 bounty for an attempt at one answer.
$10,000 bounty for any sort of indication that youメre read this and that youメre making some sort of effort, regardless of how lackluster, to give me an answer.
$100,000+ daily** jackpot bounty for one assiduous contestant who goes above and beyond the call to arms. This will be everything on "2 Kool 4 Skool."

THREE QUESTIONS. CHATMAIL ME THE ANSWERS.

A voice interrupts your thoughts, モInterested? I was going for something along the lines of DUDE, he is practically GIVING AWAY money. Do you REALLY have to THINK this one out??ヤ You turn around to face a fellow. The word Viva is on his nametag in italics.

He smiles, beckons to the empty stool next to him, and continues, モTake a sit, grab a drink. Put it on my tab. Everything you have read is true. All I want to do is ask you three questions. If you answer them, you get money. Simple as that. You donメt even have to try, really. Hell, just send me a chatmail with ム1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes.メ and youメre guaranteed to get at least an easy $10,000. I figure, absolutely, the least I can do for listening to me so far.ヤ

モYou are still here,ヤ He states after a moment of silence. モStill interested? Even curious perhaps? Why am I doing what I say Iメm doing? What AM I doing exactly? Whatメs the catch? Here, I will even answer your questions first. If you could care less, just zone me out to the very end. Then I will ask you the three fabled questions. Chatmail me the answers. No strings attached.ヤ He smiles again. Turning, he orders a cold Jones cream soda and pops the cap. And thus, the story begins.

Why? It seemed like a good idea at the time. Due to the reception of the previous Daily Newbie Blenders, I figured that this format would help out more people. More bang for the buck, I think the old saying goes.

What? This is the fourth installment of the Daily Newbie Blender, a daily contest designed to help newblets help themselves. I give out cute rewards freely, and all I ask for in return is a bit of socializing or wiki-foraging. If you have found the forums, wonderful. If you have met the community, even better. If you find that special tidbit that makes CB that game you keep returning to again and again, then hey! Sweet. And all I am doing is providing the next prong on the ladder to heaven.

Seriously? Yeah. There is some tiny catches though.
- First, each contestant can only win any of the bounties once and the jackpot once (IE, if you take home $40,000, you are not eligible for any of the prizes again except for the jackpot).
- Second, the bounties are curved in favor of the $40,000 bounty. Both good and bad, if you will...
- Third, although the daily jackpot CAN be won once daily, it does not mean that it WILL be won every day. Only an exceptional set of answers will be rewarded the pot (and if it is their first attempt, the $50,000 bounty as well!), and the jackpot will just slowly accumulate (something along the lines of +40k daily) until then.
- Which leads to my last モcatch.ヤ This is a contest designed to help newbies. If you are a veteran, you are still encouraged to participate of course. However, I will be ahemナ モgrading the acceptability of your answers in comparison to your experience in CB.ヤ xD And thatメs about it. Good luck!

As he finishes, he directly you to another list on the wall, モSelf-explanatory, I presume. The list of the previous winners of the Daily Newbie Blender.ヤ

THE LIST OF THE ETERNALLY GLORIOUS.
1. 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
2. Warbringer ヨ A determined kid who knows what he wants. Which would, currently, be a mageseeker for Captain Grim. He fought long and hard, and even had to resent a revised chatmail of answers, for his dream. And for that, we salute him as a champion. :D

And, naturally, ANSWER the DAILY QUESTIONS.
1. What does evasion do?
2. What is a Shield of Capacity?
3. What are the differences between a melee weapon and a ranged weapon?

Best of luck as always :D

Those 3/4's are totally not in my Circle anymore. >_<

Yay Viva!

Okay, here's a treat for some future newbie. If someone scores the 50,000 AND the Jackpot for DNB4, I'll send CB$300,000 to Viva to continue the contest.

So, I guess I should be asking you newbies to answer badly ... ;)

By the way, you should be looking for answers better than:


1. Isn't that where you stop a man from reproducing?

2. A 10-gallon hat.

3. Wait a moment, you mean you can't use throwing daggers in CB?
