First off, Merry Christmas everybody! It is time for me to celebrate yet another milestone here on our beloved shard, Excelsior. It just so happens my 3,000th day here lands on Christmas this year. And as before, I like to show my gratitude by sharing some of the bounty I have accumulated with the other members of the shard, whether they are vets or fresh arrivals. But, I don't just give it away, I make you earn it in hopefully a fun and entertaining way. I'll do this in several ways. 1. Straight up Find Me's where I will give a clue to my location and the firs tot find me wins the prize. Of course I will be hidden, but as soon as you pretty much get to the right spot, I will reveal myself. 2. Find Me's Riddle style. On these, I will give clues in riddle form. It is your job to decipher the riddle then locate me. These riddles will be posted on the forums so you have to time to stare and work on them. Just don't take too long, or someone will beat you there. 3. Straight up questions, some of them themed. When I ask a question, the answer has to come to me in a pm. If you give out the correct answer in world chat, that answer will be ignored by me, but maybe picked up by the winner who saw it and properly pm'd me.
Some hints to help you. When I see unique things, I make a note of it and most likely add it to my questions or make riddles about it. You should make note as well. Most of my questions are EXCELSIOR related, but a few may fall under general UO knowledge. Just because some item was located in a place on your last shard, does not mean it will be in same place here. Review my Monster Compendium linked in signature block, some questions may come from that. Also, if you are a quick reader, you may want to read my story that I wrote, also linked below. My grand prizes will most likely be liked to that, though that may change at my discretion.
I will most likely start this around 5 or 6 am CST US tomorrow but this will continue on and off throughout the next 3 days till I get tired of giving things away or I run out of things. Let's hope it is the latter. Look forward to seeing you there.
Oh Ya, sample prizes would be 1million gold checks, 5 X 30 weps, 400 oints, 500 elven notes, organics, deco, etc...

Riddle #1
On this balcony I do sit,
Just a short stroll from downtown Brit;
Red chair, Brown chair,
which one am I on?
Hurry and find me,
Or this prize is gone.

Lunar light, just might, give you insight on where to go;
Polished glass, in shiny brass, surrounded by grass, if you need to know.

Riddle #3
Among the many crates I hide, to find this place you need not ride;
If you wonder which way to go, Robberta and Monique will show;
Not far from them you need to go.

Riddle #4
I have found a hole in the ground, but no Hobbit lives here;
A casket, a body, its wrappings not shoddy, but the surrounding are quite drear.
Day after day, his spirit will stay, destined never to rise;
Till the locals find, just the right mind, to succeed in their unholy tries.
To raise the dead, from their eternal bed, in a land where darkness thrives.
Prize package: Dread Pirate Hat, Jackal's Collar, Batwing Sandals, Gloves of the Pugilist, a 6,6 bracelet and a 10 ring. Total 57 dexterity points
