    Treasureman's Trove Fishing Tournament
    Thursday, January 26th to Sunday, January 29th

    [​IMG]

    Over 20 million in prizes!!!
    Anyone can enter tournament - no signup required, no entry fee!

    (95+ fishing is required to catch a "Big Fish", tis by-catch (loot) of a seaserpent which is caught offshore in deep waters)

    Participating is easy!!!
    Post screenshot of catch in this thread.
    Big Fish datestamp must be between 01/26/2017 & 01/29/2017
    Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney and don't mount.
    Mounting a fish will remove the datestamp.


    [​IMG]
    Bonus Prize: The first angler to weigh in a 200 stone -or- 1 stone fish wins an additional 1 million gold.
    Congrats to PC of Ship for landing a 200 stoner and winning 1 million gold!!!
    (included in the package is a taxidermy kit and mounting services)

    Fishing Feats: How to win these prizes will not be announced rather awarded to the angler who accomplishes a pre-determined feat. For example, there might be a prize for the angler who turns in the 100th fish. The angler who does the pre-determined action will win the prize. I will be submitting a list of these pre-determined feats and prizes to Telamon before the Tournament begins to ensure there isn't a perception of a bias in awarding prizes. My advice is to participate and turn in fish no matter how big or small.

    [​IMG]
    Fishing Feats not accomplished will be given away in a lottery based on when the angler turned in their fish. A random number generator will be used to determine the winner. For example, if an angler turned in the 15th fish and the generator produces a 15, that angler wins the prize.




    Rules:
    * The tournament will be held from Thursday, January 26th to Sunday, January 29th, 2017. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on those dates. (Note: datestamp is based on UOR time, US Eastern, -5 UTC)
    * Prizes will be distributed the following week.
    * Fish weighed in will be credited to the angler, not who turns. Anyone can submit fish for any angler. Angler must be present to claim winnings.
    * Use as many fishers as you like. Again, fish is credited to angler marked on fish. (some players use more than 1 fisher)
    * An angler can only place 1 fish in biggest and smallest categories. For example, Fisher X might have a 10 stone and a 12 stone fish however only the 10 stone will be credited in the smallest category. In addition, Fisher X can also place in biggest with a 199 stone fish.
    * No sign up required! Simply post a screen shot of your catch but keep it for prize reward and... DO NOT MOUNT FISH. Mounting a fish will erase datestamp. Fish will need to be verified ingame to collect your prize. Only fish weight will only be recorded. You keep your catch.
    * Anglers tied will split the prizes of the two respective places. For example, Anglers tied for 2nd place will split the winnings for 2nd and 3rd place.

    Notes on Fishing:
    Double-click on a fishing pole, then click on a body of water. If successful, you will catch a fish. You might catch something more interesting than a fish. Success with this skill also depends on the availability of fish in that specific area.
    0-65 - On land you will fish up Magic Fish, and Normal Fish.
    80+ - Sea Serpents (No SoS Message), Special Fishing Nets.
    90+ - Treasure Maps 100 - Messages in a Bottle (aka MIB) / Waterstained SoS Message
    95+ - You can reel in Big Fish which can be used to make Trophies via Taxidermy Kits.
    You can get to 100 skill/Grandmaster fishing from land and monsters will never spawn when fishing from land.
    Once you have attained 95+ fishing, acquire a boat. They are player-made (check player vendors, forums, or IRC). You will need a boat to get offshore into deep water to catch Big Fish.

    Technically, I am not leaving. I just moved to another plane of existence, where the stressors of getting PKed by the Funeral Director at the ancient liches to be a thing of the past. Now I have to worry and stress over a much broader scope of issues, that are both annoying as crap and fun as hell. The staff position is truly an honor and a privilege all at the same time, and I could not be happier. I just cannot believe this tournament has reached over 20 million in gold/prizes! The top prizes are insane... a 2016 Christmas mask and gold?! It makes me want to create a character, macro up my fishing, and join in the fun (but sadly I cannot). Everyone's donation to this event for me is unexpected, but very appreciated and I hope some of our new players that may have a boat and some fishing will join in as well.

    I hope to see all of you in future travels and adventures! Thank you all, and especially you Zyler!

    I also would like to let new players use a few of my boats for the tournament. Here are the details...I have 10 boats to lend out. I would like them back after the tournament. Secondly, to qualify I would like a screen shot of your fishing skill and how many days your account is old. To qualify you need 85 plus fishing skill and and account less than 250 days old.

    @Treasureman @Chris do I need to meet with you to hand over those 30 plat? Or do you just take it out of my bank?

    Macroing a fisherwoman...right...now! This sounds awesome. Be on the look out for Vin Hemingway. Her parents left her at a dock as a child and she's fended for herself ever since. Hauling in the big fish and captaining her own vessel is her speciality.

    A guild mate built a sea craft worthy of sailing. Hope to get a full party barge of guildies for the adventure!

    Thanks for putting this on. First time participating in a fishing contest.

    Just wanted to double check...every big fish I got yesterday came when I killed a sea serpent. Is that correct? As far as the smallest fish...is that the smallest of the "big fish" you catch? Or just a normal fish that shows up in your bag?

    Big fish are loot on a sea serp or deep sea serp. Also, the weight range is 1-200 stones. The normal fish one catches aren't weighted or dated.
