Comet NEOWISE Fishing Tournament Thursday July 23rd to Saturday July 25th, 2020 Ahoy Anglers Thank you for participating in Fishing Tournament! This afternoon I will begin the fish verification process of the winners. I need to verify winning fish ingame before prizes are distributed. Depending on schedules this could take a few days so please be patient. Anglers with winning fish can lock them on their steps or roof and PM me the location (DIscord or Fourms) to speed up this process. Also, I will be available late afternoons/early evenings to meet ingame if you don't own a home. Once the winning fish are verified ingame, prize distribution will begin. Many thanks and FISH ON!-Zyler 4+ million in prizes!!! Free to enter! No sign up required. Participating is easy!!! Fish all your heart desires, your eyes can strain, your attention can bare and simply post a screenshot of your big fish in this thread.... Big Fish datestamp must be between 7/23/2020 & 7/25/2020 Winning fish will be verified ingame so keep fish until end of tourney. Mounting a trophy fish will remove the datestamp. _______________________________________________________ Fish Log Lotto: A random number generator will be used to determine the winners based on when the angler turned in their fish. For example, if an angler turned in the 15th fish and the generator produces a 15, that angler wins. https://www.random.org/ ________________________________________________ Many thanks to the generous sponsors... phaero Azoth's Museum John Ironfish UOR Event Fund ___________________________ Rules: * The tournament will be held Friday, July 23rd to Sunday, July 25th, 2020. All fish weighed in must have a datestamp on or between those dates. (Note: datestamp is based on UO:R time, US Central, -6 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. 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.

The NEOWISE project is the asteroid-hunting portion of the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) mission. Funded by NASA's Planetary Science Division, NEOWISE harvests measurements of asteroids and comets from the WISE images and provides a rich archive for searching WISE data for solar system objects.
Wooo! Thanks Zyler! Hope I can make this with decent casting time. I will also be opening recruitment for the Fishermen Union to promote activity and more fun! Biggest benefit? Team up with crews, in game chat to keep this relaxing and fun while avoiding missing the AFK Gump! You're all invited, even if it's just for that weekend!
