~~ THE ROPETOWN WORLD TOUR ~~ (an AQ Contest for the Horde of Burning Legion)
INTRODUCTION

Good news friends and lovers!

Ropetown is going on a World Tour, and we'd like to bring you along!

(For the Raffle Page, click here.)


HERE'S WHAT *YOU* DO:

STEP 1: You spend ridiculous amounts of time farming for one or more of the AQ mats listed below.

STEP 2: You mail _full stacks_ of the mats you farm to WorldTour.
*Partial stacks will be returned.


HERE'S WHAT *WE* DO:

STEP 1: For every _full stack_ of mats we receive from you, we award you one Raffle Ticket for a future prize drawing.

STEP 2: Within a week of the gates being opened, we award prizes to the top contributors for each type, as well as to a few lucky winners of our raffle.


HERE'S A LIST OF MATS WE'RE CURRENTLY ACCEPTING:

-- nothing, contest's over bitches

*Mail all mats to WorldTour. Remember to send us FULL STACKS only.
**All submissions received after the deadlines will be returned for no credit.


TOP CONTRIBUTOR PRIZE:

We will be giving away two kinds of prizes.

The first kind of prize will be awarded to those individuals who contribute the most mats for each of the types listed above.

The top contributor for _each mat type_ will receive:

-- A looting spree in the Molten Core where you can loot all items that you want and can equip*.
*Some restrictions apply. See the not-so-fine print below.

The runner-up for _each mat type_ will receive:

-- A BoE set (Bracers + Belt) of their class's Tier 1 armor*.
*If you already have them, we will try to work out some kind of substitution. If we don't have a set, we will either get them, or provide gold substitution.


SUPER LUCKY RAFFLE PRIZES:

The second kind of prize will be awarded based on a raffle described here.

Remember, you are automatically awarded one raffle ticket for every stack of mats you submit to us.

Prizes in the raffle drawing include the following:

-- GRAND PRIZE: The Ropetown World Tour. One winner will get to join us for a trip through the Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, and Blackwing Lair. You are guaranteed both Onyxia and Nefarian's heads, and an onyxia bag. You can loot all items from MC that you want and can equip*, all items from Onyxia that you want and can equip*, and all equippable items from BWL _that we don't want_.
*Some restrictions apply. See the not-so-fine print below.

-- Numerous Molten Core BoE epics (10ish)

-- Bottomless Bags

-- A lifetime supply of Squishy Basilisk Eyes

-- A pair of Kaya's panties (soiled)


THE NOT-SO-FINE PRINT:

-- Once again, mail all mats to WorldTour.

-- All raffle winners will be announced within a week of the gate's opening.

-- Contest winners can be of any level. However, in order to accompany us in the Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, or Blackwing Lair, you must first obtain level 60 and complete (on your own) any necessary keying. If you aren't level 60 and properly keyed when you win one of these prizes, we'll issue you a "rain check," so that you can join us on a later date.

-- Should loot disputes arise between the Top Contributors during their Molten Core run, they will be settled via Chicken Fight on the monkeybars. Or by us. Don't worry, we won't bring two contest winners of the same class on the same run.

-- Raffle prizes are limited to one per person. However, a single individual can win both a top contributor prize and a raffle prize.

-- Items which Ropetown members still need will not be available to contest winners during the looting sprees. From MC, such items include legendaries, Chokers of the Firelord, Talismans of Ephemeral Power, Quickstrike Rings, Fiery/Lava Cores, Core Leather, Patterns/Recipes, 10 storms / trans pants. From Onyxia, such items include Wrath helms, Trans Helm, and Shards of Scale. Take a look at our disenchant history to get a rough idea of what you can expect. Also, there's a fair chance a couple of these items will be removed from this list by the time the contest has ended.

-- Raffle tickets and all prizes will only be awarded to the character that mailed us the mats. If you accidentally submit mats to us under the wrong character, you're out of luck. No exceptions will be made.

-- If you have any questions, make a post on our forums at http://ropetown.com/phpBB2/.
