I'm going to post a preview of the Rigging Quiz in order to clarify how it works.

The Quiz consists in 7 scenarios starting from a rigging board.

You will be asked to:
"Maximize the pull of the <colour> chain by the <coordinate> pulley in <n> moves",
counting the number of knots removed and saying if you made any loop.

You are supposed to move the chains in a given number of moves that will risult into a pull from the active pulley.

The order of actions is: 1. you move; 2. the active pulley pulls (if possible), then the next pulley become active; 3. repeat 1, 2, 3 till your moves are over.
The coordinates of the knots DO NOT CHANGE, so when you note your moves, always make reference to the original coordinates. Note your moves in the format: starting coordinate - ending coordinate (e.g. f3 - c1). Whenever you can, make a loops and count the knots within the loop as knots you removed.

Any question or suggestion on how I could improve this explaination?

ok... let me see if i got it.
u will say where i have clear in N moves, then i will have to do the biggest chain possible?
and that C1-F3... will we have the letters and numbers in the board already? i may be a little bit lost to explain how i want to move my pieces...

Yes. Assume I have asked you to:
Maximize the pull of the brown chain by the NE pulley in one move.
There are two solutions: c1-c7 OR e9-c7.

and that C1-F3... will we have the letters and numbers in the board already? i may be a little bit lost to explain how i want to move my pieces...
Aye, the boards come with the coordinates on them. The pulleys don't have them, though... but I thought it wasn't such a big deal recognizing which one is North, North-East and so on.

I'm sorry. I'm confused. I understand how c1-c7 works, but I don't understand how e9-e7 works. Wouldn't it be e9-c7? e7 seems like it would minimize the pull...I am terrible at rigging, so please explain, if you would.

And, er, could you put in a compass rose or stick coordinates on half the pulleys? I'm terrible with getting east and west right, even though I can do it in real life easily (but I depend on landmarks like mountain ranges). Even doing this with the coordinates on the pulleys, I managed to get them backwards... stupid, I know.

Aww, sorry! Indeed it's e9-c7.

Don't worry about that. If I ask you to pull a chain in three moves, that means the pulley to which I am referring is three moves (and two pulleys) ahead.

The brown piece that is in the e9 coordinate in the original position goes into the c7 coordinate, which results in a pull from the NE pulley.

do ye ge extra ponts for splice and tar?

cause sought of how i rig..

and i get incred nearly everytime...

and the first example confuses me..

i thought the point was to get as many peices as possible?

as an example (im not trying to do well here, just a example,)

in the first example-

e5-b6
c6-c7
e4-c2
h2-d1
g1-e1
f3-c1
(any move horizontel below f)

= pulled by Ne
11 knots
tar and splice

is that good?

It was not meant to provide the best solution, it was just an example of how the quiz works.

Not exactly. You have just to maximize the pull as requested by the quiz. Of course, if you also connected two non-adjacent pulleys, that would be great, but I'm not aware of any scenario in which you have to choose between a longer pulley without bonus and a shorter one with bonus. Maybe loops, but I have already stated that whenever it is possible you should go for loops anyway. However, since I'm not the God of Rigging myself, if such a scenario arise, I will be glad to analyze it and reward the one who solve the puzzle in different way from the one I predicted.

But remember that the task is clearing a specific chain in a given number of moves. If you use more moves or clear another chain, that won't count at all, even if the chain was bigger than the one the quiz asked to clear.

The Festival is now open!

Rigging Quiz
You have time until Saturday 17 to sit the Quiz.

Hook and Loop
Pull the longest chain. Build the biggest loop.
Take a screenshot of both. Post it here.

Rules

1. The screenshot you take must include your pirate or an alt of yours working on the rigging station in the right side of the screen or with his/her name on the title bar of your puzzle pirate client. If you use and alt, it must be either unequivocally recognizable as an alt of yours or verified as such.
2. In order to be valid, your entry must display a yellow or sparkling sail. Blue sails can't be accepted.
3. For the longest chain entry, make sure you are took the screenshot when the game displayed the number of knots pulled away.
4. If you have less than 5 stars on your indicator, your score will be decreased accordingly.
5. Have fun.

Prizes

The prize for the overall winner is Rigging Festival Bb50 25 and a sword of your choice... which is apparently the best tool to solve knot-based puzzles.

Other prizes
Glimmer of Light and Knights of Saint George will have other prizes (to be announced soon) for their members. Members of The Wisdom will be assigned to the Knight of Saint George group.

You can enter as many times you want with the highest entry you have... at the time you post, of course.
So you can start posting your current record and beat it over and over till the contest closes.

Oh, I have just realized I forgot to post one rule:
4. If you have less than 5 stars on your indicator, your score will be decreased accordingly.
Try to post screenshots of boards with all 8 pieces (they are available when you reach the 5th star), otherwise we'll have to scale your score.

Between this and the "sail must be yellow/sparkly" rule.. I'm so doomed.

Rigging Festival Empty Prizes for The Glimmer of Light.

Post  Piratus Tue Jan 12, 2010 2:45 pm

This the Glimmer of Light's first time to award prizes for a festival and we have decided to make our part run a little diffrently than our flagmates. We don't have many above Renowned in our crew, so we will run them all together.
1:st prize: A golden medal with a blue ribbon and 15.000 poe.
2:nd prize: A blue card and 5.000 poe.

We don't have the same pot system as the Knight's do, but The Glimming Box is always open for donations and enough of them would give us a budget to get better gifts.
