It was expecting this thing to jump in and out of people's inventory and running around and everyone chasing after it to the tune of "Yakety Sax" and it teleporting around.
Thanks for an amusing mental image!

Nothing, until the end of the Final Task.

What surprises me is that the event is finished (it is, right?) and there are almost no whines on this thread yet.
The result, not so much.
This was the most poorly run event in the history of MUDs! I hated it and I hate the administration and I hate Lusternia and I hate the freaking purple hamster! I'm going to write about how much this event sucked on my online journal so the whole world can see how much it sucked!!
Actually, my only issue with the event is that I misread the time, so I thought it would be 30 minutes from now. From what I've heard, it was pretty well executed and I'm sorry I missed it, though I still think the contests are a bit silly for the matter at hand (imminent destruction of all creation = trivia game!).

Challenge of Chaos I guess means anything...
Omg the "Yakety Sax" almost made me fall out of my chair.

You should ask those who held it longer than 10 minutes how "way too easy" it was!
Perhaps if we do this again, we'll make further tweaks to it, but overall I thought this went down pretty well. I was especially shocked by the turnaround at the last minute!

Make it give more afflictions! And make it give insanity! The first time I had it, for fiveish minutes, it only gave stupidity, confusion, and high that I saw. Maybe lovers effect too, but I *think* that was Shamarah.
The High freaked me out though when it started - I started panicing, and then died
Kaervas2007-01-01 21:33:00
It gave insanity, it was like neurosis, drunk and weed all put together.

It does give insanity.
The longer you hold it, the more insane you get, the drunker you get, you may start tripping, and you'll be under the chaos curse effect.

Awesome, I didn't notice that, but I didn't hold it long enough.

Tripping as in 'falling down a lot' or tripping as in 'dude, your nose just crawled up your face!'?

There are two levels of that effect..."tripping hard", which shows smiley faces, then there's "having a bad trip", where the smiley faces start talking back to you.
And nothing cures Drunkeness or Weed/Absynthe-Induced Hallucinations.

Stag Sacrifice does cure Drunkeness. Not sure about High.

BTW--If people want to make this "impending doom" serious, perhaps Kethuru should try to drive the winners insane or turn them to the "Souless Side" or something like that.

He was Raged, actually. Dunno if other people did things too.
And then a hamster appeared in a flash of light next to me, I picked it up, and won. Yay chaos

Luckily for you a group of Celestians managed to find me just as I was moving around trying to avoid the rage coven and moonbeam. I probably would have gotten away if my crappy laptop hadn't lagged out on me. Ah well, the harmony seal will be all mine, muhaha.

Ouch to the crossfire between moonbeam, Celestians, and lag
Now I want to get someone to draw a picture now of Kaervas being hit by beams of light and a rampaging mob of Celestians up in the mountains, and a little purple hamster flying from his hands through the air into a very bewildered Shorlen's hands, with Avechna in the background going "You win!"
Kaervas2007-01-01 22:16:44
No pictures of me getting pwnt, it'll ruin the image I've tried so hard to maintain!
