Hello everyone,
The birthday event this year will be a little different than last years. We have prepared eleven riddles, and whoever solves them first will be declared winner and have their name go down in history.
Riddle guide:
Solutions point to corporations, alliances, people, events or places which then lead to specific solar systems. (E.g. a corpÆs HQ). This includes players, player corps and alliances etc. Once you know the system name, you should use the scanner to look for an object in space.
This object will have a letter or number attached to it. Once you have all the letters/numbers, send them in the correct order along with explanations to all the riddles and your charactername to [email protected]. The first person to do this will be declared winner.
If you do not know the answer straight away, you will need to look into Eve's history, both backstory and player history. Remember though, only one person will receive a prize.
Here are the riddles:
1
You might not heed this advice or care
do not go into HED
itÆs guaranteed that somebodyÆs there
to fill your body with lead.
2
Twenty-two trustworthy men
in a popular traders den
mysterious number four
opens this magical door.
3
Coming and laying their tents
causing shouts and creating dents
holding their ground for weeks
reaching their peaks
until the coming of tweaks.
4
Once friends
once learning
now fiends
now burning
forever.
5
Down in Stain
there lies a system
with one way in
it is most eastern
6
Many a travellers dream
as hopeless at it may seem
a friend of mine named Gep
is the closest youÆll ever get.
7
She foiled their plan
and most of them ran
it did not last
this empire of the past.
8
Fast deployment and swift results
theyÆll work for whoever pays
a night stalkers honor heavily weighs
on the orders he gets and obeyÆs.
9
To do is to be
to do is me
machine I am
scientist I am
or rather, was.
10
A highly dangerous place
youÆll find the next clue
hidden away
close to the diamond ace.
11
A purple Amarr to the south
deep in the empireÆs mouth.
above the sea with two ways in
find this system and win.
I hope you enjoy solving these as much as I enjoyed creating them. Have an excellent Eve-birthday and may all your mining lasers flourish.

lol - already it begins  .
Should be interesting - those clues are pretty tough...

The best leaders inspire by example.
When that's not an option, intimidation works pretty well too. |

Tricky...
At least this distributes the load over many systems, instead of something centralised which would just crash the node.
I wonder what the prize is...?

If there is another Titan to steal, let me know. Otherwise, I'm mining this year.

I would have been a lot happier if the prize was split up and was actually AT the location you have to scan for. Then you'd have to find the system and track down the prize manually using warp. This whole collecting letters thing is kinda crappy.

Yeah, uhh.. this is pretty pathetic to be honest. I'm sure the reward will be worth it if some corp all gets their collective thinking cap on but the idea of hunting around for special objects in space with letters attached is kind of crappy and totally OOC as far as events go.

Why so negative? CCP obviously went through a lot of effort for this. You don't have to play if you don't like it.

turn on large collidable structures or objects in the overview, you'll find lookout towers with statements like "You have found an ..."

Oh, I think it's cool. But I spent 17 hours on the event last year with the Titan and OMG that was enough for me.
