Best staff ever! Thanks guys. Would we be able to buy platinum trophies for an event if we want a specific one to be given out? So if I want the top participant to get the Pegasus trophy can I just pay 10 plat? and any additional rewards would be at staff's discretion.
Sure, if you provide the platinum you are welcome to select a specific trophy for your event. However depending on the scale the staff are always willing to provide trophies. If you ran an event that had 8 participants, we would normally do a 4 platinum value trophy. You could pay the difference (6) and have that changed to a Pegasus if you so desired. The color and naming would still require staff approval. General event trophies are almost always ore colored.
I will be offering my own rewards too but of course the statues are the most memorable Hint: Scavenger hunt!

I'm not a fisherman, but I love this event. The different titles on the weights of the fish is very cool, and the participation is also Good Job Zy
Thanks. Wasn't concerned about trophies so much since Telamon has been generous in the past in that arena. I hoped to get the event advertised on the website. I included the info and inquired if anything else was needed/required. I know Chris is busy so no biggie.

bump? will someone respond to me about this at some point? I believe the end of the season is coming soon.
Hey - I can tell you that in previous years of fantasy football, there were no trophies as it was an event held outside of the game. Sounds like a similar situation, but @Chris can verify.
I think it would be neat to see a poker tournament trophy. I realize that fantasy football is something held outside of UOR specifically, but the poker tournaments are as much in game as they can be given that there are no actual mechanics to support the game itself inside UO, so an outside source had to be used for that purpose.
