2017 will also bring Final Fantasy Forums’ 11th anniversary on June 6th.
Starting from now, it is time for us all to celebrate with some fun competitions and activities. As is traditional we shall call this momentous occasion ‘Birthweek’ (although the whole celebrations will last longer than a week!).
As with previous years, a variety of events shall ensure that there shall be something for everybody who wants to be involved. You do not need any special talents in order to enjoy most of Birthweek!
What events can you expect?
If you enjoyed killing Andre the Adamantoise last year then a new monster, Azzy the Ahriman, is a glammed-up floating eye with an attitude which invites punishment. There is also a Moogle Murder Mystery game, where players can control a detective and try to solve the murder of a moogle in a museum lobby.
If you have a camera ready and fancy channelling your inner-Prompto then there is a photography contest waiting for you.
If your creative juices are flowing then the popular Site Banner GFX competition will be returning. If you prefer your juices on your dinner plate, why not cook up a meal or prepare a light snack, photograph it, and exclaim ‘I’ve Come Up With a New Recipe’ in our new food-themed event!
For those who are active on FFXIV, there shall again be a screenshot contest.
There shall also be two audio-related competitions this year. Guess the FF Soundtrack shall test what you know about the music of Final Fantasy, whereas Voices invites you to submit a voice clip and to guess the voices of other FFF members.
There shall also be another crossword for you to test yourselves with…
All that and more!
A few are up already, but the remaining guidelines for these competitions shall be posted from today, May 29th, and all competitions should be completed by June 30th.
To view all of our competitions visit the Birthweek 2017 subforum.
Scoring:
The Birthweek Point (BWP) system has worked in previous years, so they’ll be returning for calculating the highest scorers on our leaderboards. BWP will be given out in addition to the usual rewards in Gil.
BWP shall be distributed for each competition in this way:
1st Place = 5 BWP
2nd Place = 3 BWP
3rd Place = 2 BWP
For participating = 1 BWP.
Gil should be seen as an extra reward for the benefit of the participant, but they do not affect the leaderboards. BWP shall be used for this instead. Since certain types of competitions have traditionally distributed more Gil than others, the reliance now on BWP instead should provide a fairer system and encourage participation in a wider range of activities.
The member with the highest number of accumulated BWP shall be declared the overall winner of Birthweek 2017.
Here are the prizes that the overall winners of the whole Birthweek competition can expect:
1st: 300 Gil & 10 GP
2nd: 200 Gil & 5 GP
3rd: 100 Gil & 2 GP
We'll be keeping a record of the winners for each competition and shall list them in tables in the Birthweek thread, so check back regularly!
If all runs smoothly then the winner shall be announced in early July 2017.
