| Are We E n l i g h t e n e d?
We've finally met the strange messengers of the Deities, yet one question remains in my mind: just how enlightened are we? What more is there to know? I'm here to test your knowledge, Midoreans. I want to see exactly how much is known about the world of Midorea - the history, the lore, and the day-to-day life. Participate in my little quizzes, and you will be rewarded.
I hope you all have a lot of fun with this event. We’ve been working very hard on it for months now, so we’re excited to see it take flight, if you will. ;] Please read through all of these introductory posts, as they will go into the rules of my activities. If you still have any questions, feel free to ask me either in a PM or in the thread. Thanks, and enjoy!

| How It W o r k s
The focus of this thread will be something a little different from what we normally do. Following the theme of this event (community and enlightenment) I am hosting a quiz game. All contestants will be (randomly) divided between two teams: Alu and Miu. The teams will compete for points by completing challenges and answering questions relating to the history and lore of Midorea.
For each “round” both teams will choose a member to come forward as the spokesperson for their group. During that round, only answers from that person will be accepted – although their teammates are more than welcome to help them out! (However, I do recommend that you message your teammates when providing help. )

| The S c h e d u l e
Days 1-2: team prep
Day 3: first round – question round
Day 4: team prep
Day 5: second round – question round
Day 6: third round – avatar contests
Day 7: fourth round – question round
Day 8: team prep
Day 9: fourth round – question round
Day 10: final day – surprise
On team prep days, it is recommended that you get together with your team members and decide who will be the spokesperson for the upcoming rounds. The two contestants and I will also choose the most convenient time to start the upcoming round. You may also want to brush up on Midorean lore and history, because…
Question rounds will consist of five random questions. The questions will be asked one-at-a-time, and contestants will be expected to respond quickly and accurately. Whoever responds with the correct answer first will win 20 points for their team. (Remember that all answers to these questions can be found in either item descriptions or past event/announcement threads.)
The avatar contests will not be what you may expect: rather than judging entries based on aesthetic appeal, they will be judged based on theme and meaning. There will be three four categories, each offering 50 points to a winner. More information will be released as we get closer to this activity, however.
And finally, the surprise is, well, a surprise! It may be an active contest, or I may announce the results of a secret point tally that I’ve been running on the side. All that I can suggest is to be active and be prepared!

| The T e a m s
The team with the most points at the end of the event will win a full EI set for each of their team members. In addition to this, the point totals of each team will be directly converted to silver, which each participant will receive. (So if your team earns 100 points, regardless of whether or not you win, each team member will receive 100 silver.)
Team Alu: 280pts

| Nah, it's random: either Alu or Miu. Gotta balance the teams out. But hm... maybe I'll extend a special offer to people who enter on the first day though, then balance the teams from there.
Alright, whoever enters my contest today - and only those who enter today - can choose the team they're on. :3
EDIT: ohai Ace. o 3o Love the avatar.
