As for the colour of the title, we chose this shade of green:

http://***.colorhexa.***/32c832

We thought green was appropriate to be in relation to Easter and the spring season in general.

Again, unfortunately a bi-coloured title isn't something that is currently possible for us to do (according to what I'm told). I'd really love for it to be possible though ... so will poke the developers every now and again to see if they have fond a way :)
Thank you, Mod Jon!

I actually like this color :o

I think most people started wondering about a bi-colored title because of the way the gamebreaker title has two colors in one of its forms.

But if it has to be one color, I'm happy with this choice! :)

Yeah, it's white and red in one of it's forms, and another form is orange with a green line through it

That should be ok to transfer the title to your main account. I'll have to make arrangements after the winners have been announced next week and if you are in the top 100 :)

Whoa, wait, what? :O

Since when can we compete in a competition on an alternate account to then transfer the reward/title over to our main account?

Does that mean most of us spent 1-2 weeks XP/GP wasting by collecting eggs on our main accounts when we could have been doing it on an alternate account instead?


I am confused by this; is it only for people who don't meet certain requirements on their main accounts or are in some kind of special situation? Could a JMod please explain? :)


@Arrgbanedig
I'm not sure of your situation but if you wanted the title on your main account, why didn't you just collect eggs on your main account?

True I also wasted 2 weeks xp/gp waste by using my main account I do think this is fair. The person would be using a lower level account to collect the eggs (assuming thieving since the fastest method) - You cant simply create a new lvl 1 account and get as good EPH (eggs per hour) compared to a higher thiever

I'm actually not sure what you mean by your posts, nevertheless, the last one seems comprehensible.

Actually, I used a low level account for thieving the eggs. In fact, I did all the thieving in f2p for days, which goes to show that my thieving was only level 5 for a long while. So, no, I didn't opt for a good eggs per hour. I didn't use another account as a shortcut. I just happened to use this account, simple as that.

The mod's statement is in light of the nature of the competition, like that of the Quest-ival title, where the winners can opt which account of theirs to show the title. I think the rationale here is that, the title does not only represent the account you were using,but, the title represents the person too who earned it

And thus can opt where to put the title.

Putting that aside, there were no pre-advice, terms, conditions, and specific requirements that were laid out just as, and before, the competition started, which shows that anyone can use any of their account. (Similar to the Quest-ival competition too)

No problem :) glad you like it!

Thanks for keeping us posted.

On the other hand, can you please help me get an answer on my earlier question, Mod Jon? I'm just wondering a little because I'm still currently farming eggs and I hope this doesn't go in vain...
I'm really sorry to bother you, but I do humbly ask for your help.

Thanks! :)

I strongly
do not support
title transferring for this competition. I can understand how it applied for the Quest*val competition, but in this case, it is completely unnecessary. This was not stated upfront in the competition details like during the Quest*val, therefore, transferring the title for anyone would be devaluing the time and effort the rest of us have put into this competition on our main accounts under the impression that the account on which you do the competition gets the title. I have no issue with title transferring in general, but it must be stated at the start of the competition in order to provide fairness for all competitors.

I don't see any point why this cannot be allowed. If you think this was not stated upfront, alot of things weren't stated similarly (in example: title color)

More so, I do not see this as a way to devalue the title. Unless, you have some kind of concept of valuing and devaluing something. If you guys used your main accounts, then be it there if you want. That's for your case, but:

For others who won too, let them speak for their prize too. There's no point in arguing about this when we could just be complacent about our individual prizes if ever we win. It has already been stated by Mod Jon, and rescinding such decision is just confusing.

That is why Mod Jon stated that he'll be arranging with each and every winner, because, he respects what the winner would like to do with his prize.

Anyway, I hope we're at peace here.

(Oh, and we've not yet come to the final results to talk about this)

The point is that if the title can be transferred between accounts, what's not to say that someone creates a throwaway account for a competition on which they compete, and simultaneously plays on their main account doing profitable actions (bossing, questing, skilling), not having any time ramifications of the competition impacting their main progress.

If the ability for title transferring is not stated upfront, then you as the competitor must take full responsibility that you will be deviating from normal activities on your account while the competition is going on (as such is the nature of seasonal hiscores, for example, killing imps).

In no prior title competition since the Quest*val was there the ability to transfer the title between accounts. And the only reason why the Quest*val allowed this was because of the sheer nature of the competition - one would not be able to compete if they had completed all quests on their main account.

As this competition has no special quirk that would disadvantage one player from another, this competition should not deviate from all prior competitions. If it is a new intention/trend to allow title transferring, then it must be stated upfront.

I don't know about simultaneously playing with another account. But, I personally am just collecting eggs. If you are pointing this out, it's like saying that focusing on egg collection is primarily a waste of time for your main account, when I see that it is not.

Again, I would just like to say that let the individual winners speak for their own prizes. If you want your title on your main account, let it be. Again, it may be representative of your account only, whereby it could be that for others, the title is likewise representative of themselves and they'd wish to have it in an account they want. This is not a group prize where the title will be split, rather it will be given individually, so I hope you respect my statement and Mod Jon's reply to me too.
