    May I Fish IV You?
    Monday, May 1st to Sunday, May 7th

    Over XVII 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 sea serpent which is caught offshore in deep waters)


    [​IMG]

    Participating is easy!!!
    Post screenshot of catch in this thread.
    Big Fish datestamp must be between 05/01/2017 & 05/07/2017
    Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney
    (even if not on Leaderboard since there are other prizes)
    .....and don't mount your catch! Mounting a trophy fish will remove the datestamp.

    Bonus Prize: The first angler to weigh in a 200 stone -or- 1 stone fish wins an additional 1 million gold.

    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.

    Fish Log Lottery
    Every fish weighed-in is entered into a lottery based on when the angler turned in their fish. A random number generator will be used to determine the winners. For example, if an angler turned in the 15th fish and the generator produces a 15, that angler wins.

    Best Named Boat Contest
    Post screenshot of boat name in this thread for a chance at 1 million gold: http://uorforum.com/threads/best-named-boat.23564/



    Rules:
    * The tournament will be held from Monday, May 1st to Sunday, May 7th, 2017. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on those dates. (Note: datestamp is based on UO:R 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.

    Greetings Anglers!

    I hope you are looking forward to the fourth “May I Fish?” Tournament as much as I am. I started the May fishing tournaments to provide players with another event after the shard-wide events run by Telamon and staff have concluded (Xmas, St Paddy’s, Easter). They have been generally been the largest in terms of prizes and participation.

    Many thanks to all those who have donated (too many to list) and especially to Tommyrot who recently donated the Marble White items (hue 2955) which are currently up for auction: http://uorforum.com/threads/xmas-20...ar-mask-elvish-tome-spellbook-hue-2955.23288/

    I appreciate the donations more than you know which allow me to run these tourneys.

    Enjoy and I encourage you to FISH ON!

    -Zyler
