$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're read this and that you'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, "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??" 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, "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't even have to try, really. Hell, just send me a chatmail with '1. Yes. 2. Yes. 3. Yes.' and you are guaranteed to get at least an easy $10,000. I figure, absolutely, the least I can do for listening to me so far."
"You are still here," He states after a moment of silence. "Still interested? Even curious perhaps? Why am I doing what I say I'm doing? What AM I doing exactly? What'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 the jackpot once. Second, the bounties are curved in favor of the $40,000 bounty. Thirdly, 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 "catch", 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 "grading the acceptability of your answers in comparison to your experience in CB." xD And that's about it. Good luck!
And, naturally, the DAILY QUESTIONS.
1. What does Shocking Grasp do?
2. What are Chain Mail Leggings?
3. A friend of mine sees a Morgul-Hammer in the auctions. It has a $1,000,000 minimum bid and a $1,500,000 buy now. Is it worth it?
Best of luck as always :D
