User:Winston/Where in New Britannia is Winston

Where in New Britannia is Winston?
Draft Idea as of 26 February 2022.

This is somewhat based on the old game "Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago?"

Player Experience

 * Winston is somewhere in New Britannia.
 * Clues are given out every 5 minutes to help reveal Winston's location.
 * Entire game lasts no more than 1 hour.
 * First person(s) to find Winston win the prize(s).

Prize(s)
Prize(s) vary depending on number of players who find Winston.
 * ALL players get a Bulletin Board hand-crafted, hand-written note from Winston.
 * One player - a large item (e.g., deco or wearable item from the Store)
 * A couple of players - medium items (e.g., Obsidian Potions)
 * A lot of players in a big group - (e.g., fireworks)

Winston Preparation
Go to location:
 * 1) Turn Location off on Friends List.
 * 2) loadlevel SceneId
 * 3) teleport X Y Z

Give out clues:
 * 1) Prepare list of clues in increasing level of detail.
 * 2) Use universal chat to give out clues.

Variations

 * Non-LIVE version could be done with a player vendor containing one item for purchase. The player who first buys, wins. Vendor can be opted out of the POT Vendor listing.
 * Non-dev Players can run this event on their own. Winston could reward such players, towns, guilds for running such events for the player community.

Acknowledgements

 * Minerva helped come up with this idea.
