| Level Unknown |
A true Leader is gracious, and can put together an event that all of Egypt would be honored to attend. Create such an event by building a Display of the Host. Get 21 people to attend for 21 minutes to make progress.
Demonstration
Requires:
- 42 Paper (Wood)
- 14 Oyster Shell Marble
- 28 Linen
Wood Paper
You are going to need special Paper to build the Display of Host. First, make pulp in an Marble Tub, using sawdust and water (150 Water in Jugs and 100 Sawdust), and then process the paper in a Certificate Press. Finally, the wet wood paper is dried in a regular Paper Press using Rabbit Pelts. If Linen has been used to line the Paper Press, it must be removed and replaced with 6 Rabbit Pelts.
For making the Pulp in the Marble Tub, you need to upgrade your Marble Tub with a Water tank.
Using the Certificate Press - Installing a deckle and plate into the Certificate Press has proven to be a bit tricky. You must configure the machine to print certificates first (choose a random name), then with a Monkey Wrench in your pocket and an Aluminium Plate, 4 Bolts, and 12 Washers, go to the maintenance option and remove the existing plate - stash it somewhere - NOT in your pocket - then select 'install deckle and plate'. The new Aluminium Plate, plus the Bolts, Washers and the Deckle will be installed. The old plate can be reinstalled any time, but each time you install you lose the bolts and washers.
When you configure the Certificate Press you get a message box with warning: Name of Certificates? Note: This can never be changed.
A Monkey Wrench is made from 8 Steel and 8 Beeswax, made in any casting box in 4 mins.
The event
When you build the Display of Host you will be asked to give your Event a Description and then a Name. Once that is done you will be asked to decide whether the Event will be open to anyone or by invitation only.
A six hour timer will then start. The Event details can be amended at any time during the countdown, restarting the 6 hour timeframe. Only the host can see the time remaining for the event, which starts at "about 6 hours" and in the last hour switches to minutes, then seconds. Any player can see how long ago the display was built, but not the time remaining.
Players had the option to join the event at the Display of the Host, and a guild-style chat tab was opened for all event participants. Each time a player joined, there was a red notice in the chat, i.e. "Sabuli welcomes Orchid". If a player travelled approximately 125 coordinates from the Display, they were no longer considered to be attending the event, but could rejoin when they returned. A player must remain within range, without going AFK, for 21 minutes, at which point they will receive a pop-up asking them to rate the event.
Rating choices:
Peasantly (0 points)
Scholarly (1 point)
Oracular (3 points)
At the end of the event, when the timer reaches zero, the host receives a flyaway and message in Main. "A total of xx attended your event, giving a combined score of xx." Your score in the Test of the Host is xx." The host's test menu also lists their accumulated points for completed events. A minimum of 168 points is required to pass the test.
The display disappears and the owner recovers stuff according with his salvage level.
