Post a Brick - The Great American Igloo Building Event - GoldFest 06

General Thread ₁ Featured October 27 , 2006

Open To All. Igloo Construction resumes at 1 PM EST. During Phase II, participants place ice blocks while answering Trivia Questions. Come, learn more about the Igloo Builders. As a team, we will either turn this big blob of snow and ice into a shelter fit for our survival.... or perish!

This Frozen Arctic Circle thread has officially opened for GoldFest '06.

Phase 2: Construction continues at 1 PM EST, October 27. At that time, we will resume placing blocks of ice, one by one, constructing our igloo under hostile weather conditions.

Phases 2 and 3 are live Trivia Events.. Answer a question correctly, and a block will be placed in your name.

You can enter at any time. This event is open to Novices, Citizens, Patrons, Scribes, and Dei alike. Everyone is welcome. There is no single winner. If we somehow survive, everyone wins!

Guess What?

Thanks to your combined efforts, we survived!

This cooperative effort is open to ALL participants. Our reward? Ultimate survival, the satisfaction of having constructed an actual igloo together... and some neato keano graphics to take home, too. Along our journey, we will learn many new things about igloos... who built them, with what, where, and how? Artistic ability is not required, but a keen eye, sense of direction and the ability to work as a team, without giving up, is a must!

Phase 1: The Gathering has ended, but you are still welcome to follow the "Inukshuk" path. These Ancient men of stone will help you to collect five hidden items. Once you find them, you are welcome to take them home with you.

Your Gateway To The Inukshuk is

RIGHT HERE!

Phase 3: Completion starts at 4 PM EST, October 27. Working together, we strive to finish carving a total of 25 bricks before the elements take over. Can we turn this big blob of snow and ice into a shelter fit for our survival? Will we prevail as a team.. or.... perish??
