Ariella: /* How Points are Accrued */

=== Where to find details about the Decathlon Event ===

A Controller run event that shows up on the calendar. 
Watch for news and winners' listings in the Events chat. 
[[File:Decathlon_Event_Calendar_Display.jpg|1200px|Left]]

Click on the Calendar icon and scroll. 
Click on the Eye icon on the left under the title of the Event to see a small story and prize list.

=== Set Your Time Zone ===

Set your Time Zone correctly because the calendar time for event start also uses it. 

[[File:Time_Zone_setting.jpg|600px|Left]]

* You must manually change your Time Zone back one hour in the spring and forward one hour in the fall.
* For the USA Eastern Time is 0500 (March 8 thru November 1 for 2020) for EDT, but then during EST has to manually be changed to 0400.

=== What to do ===

To gain points gather or do these actions (yield per action gives points except where noted):
* Dirt (point per action, not yield)
* Silt (point per silt pile, not yield)
* Fish (per deben)
* Wood
* Grow any veggie (no points for field grown veggies)
* Grass
* Smash Gravel (per stone hit, not yield)
* Grow Flax
* Cactus Sap (only from Royal Cactus)
* Slate
* Tagging Animals (cattle and pigs) in the wild (Tag disappears on each cattle when tagged)
* Milk (points per db, not action)

Final score is percentage of total against what the other players collected for each item above (see picture below).

=== How to Check Your Event Points ===

Once the event begins, click Self/Special/Events.../ to see your points. 
[[File:Decathlon Score-T10.png|1000px|Left]]

NOTE: You probably need to pick more than once or grow more than one veggie to gain points and be an official Participant. Check your points during the event to make sure you have some.

== How Points are Accrued ==

The more you gather/grow of one item, the less points you accrue for that item. Watch what happens under your points as the event goes on.

For the Lottery prize, think of it as entries into a bowl out of which winners are randomly chosen. The more you participate, the more entries are added in that bowl.

Check for a Talent Point when a Participation prize is given.

=== Winners' Reports ===

The Winners' list is automatically posted in the Events chat. 
[[File:Decathlon_Automatic_Winners_List.jpg|600px|Left]]

In case you missed seeing the Winners' Reports or just general chat about the event, it is logged here:

http://services.atitd.org/log.php

=== Suggestions for new actions ===

* Thorns, clay, flint, limestone, coconuts, mushrooms, insects.
* 10 golden beetles during event. Tagged they disappear.

If more than 10 actions exist, have 10 actions randomly chosen each Decathlon event for players to discover which count.

Wheat Event

2021-09-09T01:57:02Z

Ariella: /* Strategy to Think About for Where to Build Your Silo */

== Where to find details about the Wheat Event ==

A Controller run event that shows up on the calendar. 
Watch for news and winners' listings in the Events chat. 
[[File:Wheat_Event_Calendar_Display.jpg|1200px|Left]]

Click on the Calendar icon and scroll. 
Click on the Eye icon on the left under the title of the Event to see a small story and prize list.

== Set Your Time Zone ==

Set your Time Zone correctly because the calendar time for event start also uses it. 

[[File:Time_Zone_setting.jpg|600px|Left]]

* You must manually change your Time Zone back one hour in the spring and forward one hour in the fall.
* For the USA Eastern Time is 0500 (March 8 thru November 1 for 2020) for EDT, but then during EST has to manually be changed to 0400.

== What to Do and How Scores are Accrued ==

Instructions appear in the Events chat: 
To get a Peers score, run to different silos and stand within 32 coords. Kbr>

[[File:Wheat_Event_Instructions_in_Events_channel.jpg|600px]]

You may build more than one silo during the event. 
Per instructions above, silos must be at least 65 coords away from each other. 
Current scores will not be viewable at a silo unless you own it. 
You may not give a silo to a guild. 
Scores for the Silo Owner are Workers, Harvest Count, Harvest Quantity. 
Scores will accrue for the Owner from wheat grown near a Silo built from a previous Wheat Event. 

[[File:Current_Scores_Click_Silo.jpg|400px]]

Grow wheat within ?? coords to a newly built silo, old silo. 
The wheat harvest automatically goes into it whether it is your silo or not. 
Again, scores go to the silo owner. 

[[File:Current_Scores_Click_Silo_with_Workers_Score.jpg|400px]]

Wheat Silos can be set to Public so anyone can see the scoring, including Workers. 
But beware!! Anyone can Take all your hard work! 

[[File:Wheat_Event_Public_Silo.jpg|400px]]

== Requirements to Build a Silo and Grow Wheat ==
* Farming 3 from University of Worship
* Ranching 2 from University of Worship

== Strategy to Think About for Where to Build Your Silo ==

* Wheat strains come in 3 seasons: Peret, Shemu and Akhet. Only the right season's wheat will grow.
* You will need to build your silo near water to refill your jugs.
* Each strain of wheat will grow on certain types of terrain and not others. Wrong terrain "gives weak stalks" and a harvest score of 0.
* Pollution can nix the harvest amount.

== How to Check Your Event Scores ==

You cannot check Scoring by clicking yourself, like most events. 
Scoring for Silo Owners only shows on Silos. 

Scoring for Peers will show as a norifiation on the calendar after the Event if you get a prize. 

[[File:Peer_score_for_just_being_AT_different_silos_NOT_growing_at_them.jpg|1000px]]

== Winner's Reports ==

Winner's Reports will be in the Events channel for Harvest Count, Harvest Quantity, Workers and Peers.
