Epic Week Progress Report: Day 3

Posted by Kim on April 26, 2016, 5:48pm

The Fantasy guardian has been restored to full health, and as promised, he has provided the entire site with a brand new template designed by Contingency:

Thank you to everyone who contributed seeds to the replanting of the Fantasy section of Forum Forest!

The Epic Week Adventurers are just one riddle away from re-awakening the SciFi Guardian, who will surely have more goodies for us... This second guardian will also be in need of help regrowing the surrounding forest to regain its strength and distribute its prizes!

If you've found any seed pods during this week's festivities, please remember to plant them to help unlock more prizes for the entire site to share! Click here to plant your seeds now.



UPDATE! 6:13PM PST

Hot on the heels of the Fantasy Guardian's restoration, you managed to answer all 10 riddles for the Sci Fi Guardian, and she has awakened from her long slumber! She is still disoriented and weak from her dormancy, but offered a new template (designed by Sanne) as thanks:

Once the SciFi Guardian's section of the forest has been fully replanted, she will have another for you as well.... And the strength to back you as you venture into the third and final part of Forum Forest.



Epic Week Contests


In addition to the week's adventure game(s), we have 5 contests for you to enter for a chance at fantastic prizes. Including our real life tote bags stuffed with toys and treat!

Some of these tote bags include hand-sewn animal plushies donated by Tate. A few other users have donated some good stuff that may appear in your bag, too, but they haven't arrived quite yet. I'll update you when they do! ;)

Spread the Love Raffle


You don't need any special skills in order to enter this contest. You just need to spread the word about the RPR on social media and among your friends. Click here for the Spread the Love Raffle rules.

Genre Mascot Art Contest


Possibly second only to epic week itself, this is one of the most anticipated events of the entire year! Artists select a genre of RP such as fantasy, sci-fi, or horror, and attempt to design an original character mascot that embodies the essence of that genre. The winners adorn our homepage all year long! Click here for the Genre Mascot Art Contest rules.

Essay Contest: Bad RP Habits I actually love


Complaining about bad habits or over-used character types seems to be a popular past time on any RP site, but many of us also have stories about absolutely loving a RP that was chock full of characters or habits that sound "bad" at first glance.

In 400 to 1000 words, explain how even some of the worst sounding ideas can turn out great with proper handling. Click here for the complete essay contest rules.

Comic Contest

Create a comic about life on the RPR, and post it in this topic. All artistic skill levels are quite acceptable. Even if what you're working with is stick figures, you're still highly encouraged to enter! Click here for the Comic Contest rules.

Cooking Contest


What's a birthday without a special meal and a cake? Treat the RPR to a special something for its sixth birthday! In this contest, you must bake or cook something. Post pictures or the recipe -- bonus points for both. Click here for the cooking contest rules.



Party Grab Bag 2016


This week only! What's in the bag? You might get epicness, a fistful of other items from the store, character slots or page slots, and even limited edition party favors -- all of them in random combinations and in mystery amounts! It could be a little... but it could also be a lot. Try your luck!

Curious what you might see inside? Check out this topic where members share their luck of the draw!

Stunning template! And I just have to commend the riddle creation team, some of these riddles...hooooo buddy. XD They have made us think hard, made us dig deep, and have been a challenge! It's phenomenal! <3 Hats off to all those involved in Epic Week festivities, the admin team, and especially our Lady Kim. Kim, I know how much work you put into this and it's always a treat for the community. You deserve all the accolades, kudos, and hugs for this amazing thing!
