COMPETITION UPDATE

In searching for the best way to select a winner for the Gold Rush Socialite 2012 competition, the following items have come to the attention of Arkadia Studios:

a) Selecting a winner randomly from all page “Likes” is, contrary to the findings of our preliminary research, a breach of Facebook Terms and Conditions. When choosing a winner, that winner must be chosen from a specific competition entry.
b) An admin of a Facebook page is only able to create a list of a maximum of 500 of its fans at once.

This has led to the decision to use a third-party app called Wildfire, which will select a winner at random, from those who enter the promotion specifically.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, and are making every effort to ensure that those who have already “Liked” the page as a result of the Gold Rush Socialite 2012 competition, find out about the change. This will include making a post at our Facebook page.

To give everyone a chance to enter correctly, the competition is now being extended until 23:59 CEST on the Tuesday the 9th of October 2012. Instructions for entry are at the bottom of this post.

In addition, the opening post of the Gold Rush Socialite 2012 thread has been updated to reflect the new rules.

If you have any concerns about this change, you are encouraged to email Arkadia Studios at community@arkadiastudios.com.

Good luck!

INSTRUCTIONS:
To ensure you’re in the running for the Alienware X51 Desktop, you will need to do the following:

Real Life Arkadia Merchandise

By | Events, Gold Rush | No Comments

Let the Arkoin Auction begin!

Outbid your competitors and you could be trading Arkoins for a variety of virtual and real life items!

As we announced in this thread, due to some delays with Arkoin brokers, we are auctioning off a collection of virtual and real life items.

We’re pleased to announce that the first eight (8) of these auctions are now beginning!

UPDATE: Items added up to number 018!

RULES

Arkadia Studios has taken care to make sure these auctions will be as fair as possible to all. However, we welcome colonist feedback and suggestions on how it might be improved or run in a different way. We therefore reserve the right to make improvements during the auction as we see fit.

  1. A variety of items, both real-life and virtual, will be periodically auctioned during the Arkadia Gold Rush 2012.
  2. The auctions will occur entirely here, in Planet Arkadia Forum, and not in the in-game auction system.
  3. Bids will only be accepted in Arkoins.
  4. Bids of any items other than Arkoins (eg PED) will be deemed invalid.
  5. For each item being auctioned:
    • The item will feature in a new auction thread of its own
    • That auction will be announced in this thread, with a link
    • The auction will begin when it is listed
    • There will be no buyout bid amount
    • For the first three (3) weeks after the relevant auction thread is published, the auction will remain open
    • After the first three weeks, the auction will then end when a bid remains the top bid for a period of 72 hrs
    • Such a 72 hr period will be taken to have begun no earlier than three (3) weeks after the auction thread is published
    • The winner is required to contact Cyrus | Arkadia to arrange for trade, collection or shipping of the auction item, within one week of the end of the auction.
    • If the winner of the auction fails to collect their award within the aforementioned one week of the end of the auction, the item will be awarded to the next highest bidder.
  6. The potential issue has been raised that somebody could bid a million bajillion Arkoins that they don’t have, with the plan of winning the auction, not claiming their prize, and having the prize go to their friend, the second bidder with a very small bid.
    • This is a great point, and we appreciate it having been raised.
    • Arkadia Studios will at its discretion check that interesting bids are backed by an actual Arkoin balance.
    • Arkadia Studios will announce a bid to be invalid on such grounds if deemed necessary.
    • Please note, “million bajillion” is not a real number, though legitimate attempts to bid this high are of course encouraged.
  7. To avoid potential confusion, it would be most helpful if all bidders could ensure that their full in-game avatar name is visible either in their account details to the left of their post, or by stating it in the actual bid post.
  8. Prizes will be sent after the end of Gold Rush 2012 (estimated beginning of November).

To begin with, we are pleased to announce that the following items will be auctioned, with more to follow during the Gold Rush!

  • Full set of seven (7) Unlimited Blueprints for Ankitus armour (virtual items)
  • Full set of seven (7) Unlimited Blueprints for Koroma armour (virtual items)
  • Full set of seven (7) full TT pieces of Pegasus (M,L) armour (virtual items)
  • Full set of seven (7) full TT pieces of Pegasus (F,L) armour (virtual items)
  • 2 x Alienware X51 Desktop complete with mouse and keyboard (real life item)
  • 8 x Alienware TactX Mouse (real life item)
  • 20 x Planet Arkadia Cap/Hat (real life item)
  • 5 x Planet Arkadia Shirts (real life item) – 1 x (XS), 2 x (S), 1 x (M), 1 x (XL)

The following auction items (not a full representation of the above list) are now open for bidding, each in its own thread! Further items will be listed periodically throughout the Gold Rush!

Blueprint Bonanza!

By | Events | No Comments

Chiharo held the ASI-50 in her hand. Good weight and well balanced. Excellent sighting. Zeroed at a range superior to most other pistols available. She took aim and squeezed the trigger five times in quick succession. Five targets exploded in a hail of fragments, completely ceasing to exist. The representative’s mouth hung open in stunned surprise.

“Excellent,” Chiharo said softly. “This is the best BLP pistol I’ve used so far. Service and supply on this line of weapons?”

“Full initial kit out of the task force to Arkadia, plus blueprints and exclusive replication rights for the IFN or its delegates.”

This time, there was no doubting the smile on Chiharo’s face.

“The Admiral’s office will have my report by this evening.”

- Originally published in Entropia Times magazine, March 2011 edition, p 50

***

Commodore Toán Harvir played again the security footage from the IFN Weapons Range. It had been recorded on the 2nd October 3007, the day Captain Chiharo had settled for the Herman ASI-50 (L).

Blueprints and exclusive replication rights for the IFN or its delegates.

That’s how it was meant to work.

It was the same as what had been arranged with all the other suppliers at Lorika Tek, PTech, Herman Industries, MAKO and the IFN’s own Gyro FAP team.

What hadn’t been addressed was the rate at which the blueprints would become available in normal manufacturing to the colonists. Harvir knew the blueprints of this specific equipment needed to come up a much higher percentage of the time, at least for the short term.

He didn’t know how long it would take for things to start running smoothly, but the situation could do with a boost.

It was time to make a few calls.

Curb the Oratan Food Supply

By | Anouncement, Events | No Comments

OFFICIAL IFN ANNOUNCEMENT

HUNTING COMPETITION

Leaderboard now available!

Date: 1st September 3008Dear Arkadians,

BACKGROUND

On August 9th, the IFN began discussing reports of a variety of disturbing changes on the continent of Sentosa. Two new creatures, the Feran and the Ostelok, suddenly appeared in healthy numbers on the eastern side of the continent, and multiple Oratan camps were suddenly noticed in a variety of locations.

It is the appearance of these camps which concerns me the most. I believe they represent a threat, and the first real change in Oratan strategy that the IFN has seen to date.

STATUS UPDATE

Thus far, no significant force of Oratan has revealed itself from the camps, however I remain concerned that they may be somehow aiding the vast populations of Oratan that we already share Arkadia with. It is still uncertain as to whether or not their numbers are indeed “unlimited” as the ancient Arkadians warned us in The Signal, and I am very wary that we have been surprised by the Oratan before.

Our scientific community has made a small amount of progress in studying the two creatures to appear recently, establishing that the Feran is not a bird, but most likely a mammal. This unfortunately does not appear to be leading us any closer to solving the mysteries at hand.

TAKING ACTION

I have decided, with full support from my scientists, to test whether we can have an indirect influence on the numbers of Oratan by affecting their food supply. We’re not sure exactly what that food supply is, but we need to find out if we are to make any headway against the Oratan. That’s why we’re going to cast a wide net.

Colonists, we need your help to cull the booming native populations of all creatures that have been discovered on Arkadia.

We have therefore created a new hunting competition with some very impressive prizes.

HUNTING COMPETITION!

The IFN is offering a variety of Unlimited Smuggler equipment that was recently confiscated from Sanctuary Cove.

In addition to these Smuggler weapons, full value suits of Limited armour from Lorika Tek will be available as prizes.

The competition will last for approximately six weeks. More specific details are included below.

Thank you for your attention, and for your ongoing service to the future of Arkadia!

Commodore Toán Harvir
Imperial Federal Navy

Arkadia Studios will be committing 3 computers, running the tracker client to ensure all globals are tracked. We encourage everyone to run the EntropiaTracker software to assist in ensuring accuracy of data. If you have any concerns about tracker not recording a global, please contact Starfinder with a valid screenshot of the global.
  • Colonists may compete in as many categories as they wish, however each colonist is only eligible to win one Main Prize, i.e Smuggler items.
  • A single colonist can win multiple Bonus Prizes.
  • It is possible, for example, for a single colonist to win one Main Prize and three Bonus Prizes.
  • If a colonist qualifies for more than one Main Prize, they will be deemed to have won in the higher Category(ies), leaving the lower Category’s(ies’) Main Prize pool(s) open for other colonists.
  • Each Category has a set of 2 mobs (creatures). Each global on either of the mobs in a Category will earn a point. You can choose to hunt both mobs or concentrate on one mob in each category.
  • In the event that there is a tie for any of the prizes, the first player to have achieved the points in that category placing will win the prize, and the other will take the next prize, if any. For example, if two players each achieve 20 globals in their category, and this is the higest result so they appear to have tied for first place. The first player to have reached 20 globals wins first prize, and the other player wins second prize.
  • Final call on prize winners will be decided by Arkadia Studios.
  • Top 3 Prizes for each category will be ready for collection from Cyrus right after the event. Bonus prizes will be given one week later, after gender of the avatars have been confirmed.
  • Arkadia Studios takes a strong stand against foul play. Anyone found trying or caught cheating will be given a direct ban both on the forum and in-game for life.
