== April Fools Event - Little White Mouse ==
 
Teli sends this account of an April Fools event on VT:

"Maya ported into Candeth & there was a lil mousy running around asking for a cookie acting really cute. So a guy named Darkpriest killed him.

After he killed him at least 50 Caul rats spawned & killed him & anyone inside the walls of Candeth. Someone went out & posted on VN that there was an attack so all kinds (maybe 15) of people showed up to fight. This went on for at least 15 minutes.

The whole time the lil white mousy kept saying things like "I only wanted a cookie" & "why won't anyone give me a cookie."

So Maya sent the mousy a tell & told him "I will get you a cookie." So while she kept him busy, I took our cook & went out & made some cookies. After around 30 minutes of fighting. I finally got the cookie there & handed it to him. For a reward he gave Maya 6 golden gromnies & 6 black luster pearls."

Angelina Rayne of HG also sends her account of Dereth Quiz Night:

"Hello again maggie!

Oh man did I feel like I was in School again taking this quiz! When the +Leo made the announcement I went there in a hurry to the Shoushi meeting hall to meet my team....... the one and only BONE HEADS lol. When I got there there wasn't too many people there but there was enough to make you feel like you had a challenge lol. But anywho :) There were 50 questions that they had asked and they ranged from the easy "What skill do you use to apply salvaged steel?" to questions about the new Viamonts! Some were pretty long too and hard to remember like "What parts do you need to make an alloy machine?" lol We all had fun trying to remember that one, but thanks to numerous times looking at your site, my team remembered them all!!!

When we were all done with the questions, they asked every team leader to turn in the books and they took like 20 mins to look through them all and check the answers. By the time they were done I was anxious! And low and behold, my team was runner up!!! We all received an inscribed chalice (pic enclosed) and 1 plat for every 2 correct answers. And boy did I need them too lol! The winners received the title Lore Master and also received an inscribed chalice and 1 plat for every correct answer. So all in all, I really like this Live Event! It made us all think and use lore that we never knew we needed to know lol. Hope there will be more to come! And Maggie thank you! if it wasn't for your site, we wouldn't have been able to do this Live Event!!!"
