Hello! I have been thinking for some time about a contest for fishers to show off their skill. Not a mad dash through buckets, no no no. Every fish you catch will be deliberate. Partners-in-crime, Devil Winged Angil and himemiya.anshii are planning to give you a challenge to test your filtering skills. Up to it?

Passwords and account names have been sent out to all participants. If you did not receive yours please post or PM The Can Catcher asap.


The purpose of this contest is to prove how well you can filter! With a basic rod and 14 F bait (and two backup baits for lost buckets) you will fish (preferably) twice a day for seven consecutive days. If you can't, you can fish every twelve hours after the bait resets. The key is that all your buckets will be A quality.

You will be fishing for a specific fish that will be determined by a roll of a die for each fishing location. The fish will not be generic like "bass" but be a specific like "blue bass". You will need to know beforehand how to distinguish the differences.

It is vital you understand that you cannot junk your way through this contest. You will be deducted a point for every junk you do receive. Be prepared to spend time every day fishing.

Rules

1. Entry fee is 1000g to cover the costs of bait, rod, and trading pass in the event of account theft. This will be returned at the end of the contest along with prizes earned. This will be paid prior to the contest starting and sent to this account, The Can Catcher.
2. No buying, selling, trading of anything on the mule account may occur.
3. The lake you sign up for is the lake you fish at.
4. In the event that a rare is caught it will be transferred to your account.
5. You will have 16 bait. Two of these are backup in case you accidentally loose a bucket. You must fish 14 and ONLY 14 buckets. If you do not fish 14 buckets (252 fish) you are AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED. There are 7 days (1 week) in which you have to fish 14 buckets. IMPORTANT: All buckets will be A quality.
6. If a random event happens it will be transferred to you.
7. We provide the accounts that you will fish with. Passwords will be sent to participants the night before competition starts. We will change passwords at the end of competition and you are the ONLY one allowed to use our accounts.
8. We will be checking accounts daily during the competition to ensure that all rules are being followed.
9. You may delete and remake your avatar, but do not change gender, names or password.
10. All junk and fish will be sold to Logan.
11. If you are found in violation of any of these rules you are AUTOMATICALLY DISQUALIFIED and will lose your entry fee.

Addendum to rules: In the event that a rare is caught, you are to immediately PM myself, himemiya.anshii, or Devil Winged Angil and NOT put it in the thread. We will discreetly transfer the rare to your main account. After the transfer is complete you are welcome to post about it in the thread. Due to the recent increase in fish theivery this measure is being put into place to ensure that you get your rare. Too many eyes seem to be 'listening in' and we don't want anyone but you getting your fish.

(A big thank you to Transcendent for laying the ground rules for making a contest work. Trans you rock!)

Note: This does not include the sponsored money that's not in the general fund. Like say someone sponsors whoever gets the most spicy tuna for 1k. The 1k is not included in the percentage. It's additional.

We tried to make the distribution more even and gave last place something. If you finish all your buckets, you should get something!

Also we do give ourselves 2.5% each to pay back (hopefully) what we have spent on this contest.
