Revision as of 22:10, 24 September 2009

Purpose

The Flavored Bacon Conspiracy is dedicated to finding Favored Beacon Activities (FBAs) for the purposes of passing the Test of Beacons. As such, membership is generally open to players who have signed up for the Test of Beacons.

The Favored Beacon activity changes roughly once an Egyptian week, but not at the same time as other "weekly" activities, such as thistle requests and ant leaves. The actual time alternates between two settings: 7 Egyptian days (2 days 14hours 40 minutes (or so) 'realtime') and 8 Egyptian days (2 days 22 hours 45 minutes (or so) 'realtime'). This allows us to predict when we can expect FBAs to change and focus efforts on longer 'weeks'.

Favored Beacon Activities

Because Guild chat scrolls as quickly as it does, to minimize redundant testing of possible FBA's, what follows is a checklist of things to try, organized by type. Please note this is not all-inclusive and please feel free to try whatever isn't on the list. Likewise, activities will likely be listed that will never generate a beacon, but since we have so little data to actually go on, it is impossible to eliminate specific entries. When adding activities, please also ensure that the blank template is updated as well, so next week we can test the activity again!

On Testing

You can test anywhere, but if you have access to an unconfirmed number of non-public buildings in the general vicinity (thought to be 30% or more in a 64-coord radius, based on previous Tale data. This may be wild speculation.), you will not attract a beacon, but you should get a message in main with something to the affect of A beacon altar was almost attracted to you, because you did the favored activity in the last hour. However, you own too many of the buildings in this area. You are at home.
