Chaos Challenge Rules

As requested, here are some clarifications on the rules for the Chaos challenge.

  • Glamours Maze cannot be used on the individual holding the Chaos Hamster.
  • Any major movements by the person holding the Chaos Hamster will cause it to disappear (eg teleport).
  • If you drop the Chaos Hamster or try to give it to another person, it will disappear to another place.
  • If you have grace while holding the Chaos Hamster, it will disappear to another place.
  • Being at any elevation other than in the ground or the trees will cause the Chaos Hamster to disappear.
  • Holding the Chaos Hamster will prevent most forms of elevation change.
  • Holding any hamsters other than the Chaos Hamster will cause it to abandon you in a fit of jealousy.
  • Standing in a room that is not on the Prime Material Plane, or is affiliated with a City/Commune, or is a newbie area, or is indoors, will cause the Chaos Hamster to disappear to another place.
  • If the Chaos Hamster is given to a denizen, it will disappear to another place.
  • All non-organization statues will be deactivated for the Challenge.
  • If the Chaos Hamster is given to a dirigible or other delivery device, it will disappear.

Here are the answers to some of the questions that were asked in the other thread:

  • Unconsciousness will not cause the hamster to be dropped.
  • Shrine effects on prime are permitted.

Please remember that we may add more rules at a later time. If you have more questions, ask them here and we'll try to get an answer for you. We are also working on an in-game help file for all the challenge rules, so if you have questions about another challenge please give us the opportunity to release that help file for you. :)

    What about other maze style abilities like fleshstone, bubble, and displacement?

    That requires hardcoding, which is still being considered. We'll update if it is coded in.

    What about giving a hamster to the hamster holder?

    EDIT: Weird, I mis-posted. Ignore this.
    If it's broken, break it some more.

    The Chaos Hamsterhunt is no-sharing. You drop hamsters on death because it's free PK. I don't know what would happen if you acquisitio'd one, but anyone going for the Purple Hamster shouldn't use acqui. From 2011:
    <font size="2" face="Courier, FixedSys, Lucida Console, Courier New, Courier" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><font color="#330033">World Event:           Chaos Hamsterhunt
    The Purple Hamster of Chaos is at a desolate field.
    Duration:              60 minutes (55 minutes left to go)
    FREE-PK?:              Yes
    Sharing Allowed?       No
    Participating?:        Not participating. JOIN EVENT to join in.</font><font color="#C0C0C0">
    </font></font>

    EDIT: Would just like to say that it's good to see the rules posted ahead of time, and it's great to see statues are blocked this time.

      A new guideline has been set for the Chaos Ascension challenge. Out-of-phase
      states such as dreamform, suspended animation, illusory statue/nature, ghost
      and similar skills will cause the Chaos Hamster to be dropped.

    The in-game help file has been updated as well.
