Update

Sincerest apologies for the lack of updates in the past 5 months. After updating consistently for one month and continuous crafting for 2 more months I have succumbed to a combination of life events and sloth. To what may come to some surprise for some is that I'm still crafting calibur's (but not as consistently or in such quantities as before). Unfortunately I must add that I have long ago passed on my Red regalia set. However I will still reward the correct guess if I (ever) obtain this illusive goal. Please realize that I will no longer have a consistent crafting schedule or amount so keep that in mind. The prize has now been changed to a Green Set (For those disgruntled, I would like to remind you that at the date of the original post the Red set was of equal value to the Green set, and also that this is a free event).

Please note that I will no longer update this thread (unless I craft that dang calibur).

Yours truly,

Rageling 10/12/2011 (About 500+ crafts of caliburs)

I will leave my original post below.

Old*

*Hello Ladies and Gentleman,

I'm currently crafting caliburs in hopes of gaining the legendary VERY HIGH CTR, but alas I've crafted 50 lackluster blades instead. As the pile of calibur's pile up and my boredom intensifies, I thought I might as well make my bad luck into a opportunity for someone else's luck.

So...I'm going to give away a Red Regalia Set to the lucky knight who guesses the exact Day that I craft the calibur that I so desire. Why? Cuz I'm bored and perhaps random karma will improve my luck.

RULES:

1) I will craft calibur's daily starting today. Guess the exact day I manage to craft the VERY HIGH CTR Calibur and I will reward you. Please note that I might not craft on some days due to work/family/vacation/personal reasons. Also please note that I will craft as many calibur's as I want per day. I usually average 3-4 a day.

2) Each individual is limited to ONE guess.

3) Please use this format for your entry IGN: NAME [MONTH/DAY/YEAR] A FUN FACT ABOUT YOURSELF

IGN: NAME
GUESS: [MONTH/DATE/2011]
FUN FACT: please put fun fact here

For example mine would be....

IGN: RAGELING
GUESS: [05/16/2011]
FUN FACT: I've accidentally set myself on fire. Twice.

4)Each Guess must not conflict with another Poster's preceding guess.

5)I will post (when available) my daily results. How many I crafted and what UV's I gained.

6)SPAMMING = Disqualification

7)I will use my current timezone [(UTC+08:00) Taipei]

8)In case no one guesses the right day I will reward the closest preceding day the Chapeau and the closest former date the Tabbard as a conciliatory prize. I'll arbitrarily give out calibers to funny fun facts.

9)Have fun^^

*Fun facts is just for my entertainment. You don't have to put one if you are super neurotic that I'm the FBI thats in that unmarked Van across the street from your house.

Also I apologize in advance if I placed this in the wrong forum. (Cant find the fun and games forum) I hope the wolves of general discussion don't eat me alive.

FUN FACT: Grammatical violations create a predictable neural response, observable by an EEG. Grammatically unsurprising sentences ("The horse raced past the barn quickly") do not create a response. Gramatically surprising but correct sentences ("The horse raced past the barn fell") create one kind of response, while grammatically incorrect sentences ("The horse raced past the barn the") create another. The exact same responses can observed in response to musical violations: to surprising-but-"valid" (e.g. an unexpected chord progression) and "invalid" (e.g. a few random adjacent notes) musical phrases respectively.

In short: There's a part of the brain that processes both language grammar and music grammar.
