1. What is A Quest A Thon?
A Quest A Thon is a series of quests (about 10-15) which are run in
a single day. You can gain a certain number of points from each
quest that you come 1st, 2nd or 3rd place in, and possibly win
one of the overall prizes at the end. Each individual quest will also
award prizes to the winner.
2. How do I join it?
Its quite simple to join - all you have to do is mudmail Rafo saying
that you wish to participate in the QuestAThon. In general, most
of the quests will be playable by 40/50+ multies, but some can be
played by the lower levels.
3. What Quests Are There?
We have many different types of quests, and are always looking for more
to add to the play-list. If you have any ideas, comments, or suggestions
please contact Rafo, Rengrave, Sin, or Bump.

Lemmings
Lemmings is the classical game of hit as many DT's as possible in
a given amount of time.

Scalp Hunt
Your mission is to find as many mobs as possible who match a given
description, kill them, and then scalp them. 

Find The Imm
An invis immortal will hide in a room in the MUD, and players will have
to search for him. The immortal in hiding will give out clues to
his whearabouts.

Hide And Seek
This is a Find The Imm of a different type; the players are in charge.
3-4 mortals will hide, and a Quest Leader will split the remaining 
mortals into groups of 3/4. These groups will then proceed to try and
find the hidden mortals. A Quest Master (also a mort) will give out
clues.

Easter Egg Hunt
Easter eggs will be scattered about the MUD, and it will be up to you to
find them. The person with the most eggs after a given time will win.

Jeopardy
A MUD trivia contest where players are given a choice of MUD related
questions of different point values. There are usually two rounds
with questions where players may wager points based on confidence.

CTF has also been called arena rugby. A flag will be placed in the
middle of the arena, and two teams compete to get the flag to the
other's base.

every 30 seconds. Participants must think of something that fits within

A mob with a few pieces of eq will be placed somewhere in the MUD, and
it is up to you to find and kill this mob, gaining his eq. Clues will
be given by the immortal running the quest.

given out to the tourist who manages to visit the most sites.

Fugitives
Like Tourism except that certain mobs are designated as "escaped
convicts" every other tick. Hunters must try and find a mob in the
mud that matches the criminal description given as quickly as
