Spot the Count Squad: Website!

Jones — Wed, 26 May 2010 18:11:15 +0000

After snooping around and a hint from Vilius on twitter, I have discovered the Spot the Count Squad website! The Spot the Count Squad, or also known as the S-T-C Squad is a group of travelers dedicated to stopping Count and his evil plans. This is what I have found on the site so far…

Above is the official S-T-C banner. (Click to enlarge) As you can see, the uniform is basically a soilder. That makes sense because we are going to war against Count! Now here is all we can brief you on…

What is the STC Squad?
The Spot-The-Count or S-T-C Squad is a specialist unit created by Wiglington and Wenks to help track Count and put a stop to his evil plans.

How can I join the STC Squad?
As of now, everyone can participate in STC Squad missions but to be an official squad member and earn your STC Squad gadgets, you have to talk to Fruba and take the qualifying exam. You have to be traveling for at least 35 days to qualify for the exam.

How do I review for the STC Squad enlistment exam?
Read Count’s Profile and watch the videos on Wiglington Town Cinema. It also pays off to read previous news and blog posts about the Count ’cause there’s a chance that the STC Squad enlistment exam will be updated and changed every now and then.

What is the difference between an enlisted/official STC Squad member and a non-official STC Squad member?
Official STC Squad members are eligible to participate in all STC Squad Missions and they are able to get exclusive STC Squad member items. Non-official Squad members are “volunteers” rather than real members so they may not be able to participate in all missions and are not qualified to receive STC Squad exclusive items.

How do I know if there’s an available mission?
There is a mission section on the sidebar. It displays the mission image and says on the header whether it’s an upcoming or a current mission. It will also display the success/failure status of recently concluded missions.

What will happen if a mission succeeds or fails?
Success/Failure scenarios are always mentioned in the mission briefing. It usually depends on the nature of the mission.

Also we managed to grab a sneek peek of the first mission! Take a look, it is about the fountain.

New Costumes probably mean a New Location is coming it’s wait. Will it be the Bran Castle, or some other Medieval Area? We’ll just have to wait and find out!

Wiglington Times Issue #007: Burnt Newspaper?

Floppy — Sun, 16 May 2010 17:05:53 +0000

What’s this? Issue #007 of Wiglington Times is burnt?

Yes, the new Wiglignton Times is out and burnt! Could this be an action of Count Cannaregio? Does he not want us to know the latest updates on WW? It seems like it could be because the cover of the Issue discusses about the First Mission to stop Count.

Even though it is burnt, you are able to read the titles and some of the pages.

Pages:

STC Squad First Meeting
Jazz your hair up!
House and Island Decors- Part 2!
Party Masters’ May Parties

Seems short…too short.

At the end of the Newspaper, you will find a letter from the Wiglington Times Office:

Dear Quest Travelers,

Last night, a terrible thing happened. All copies of today’s newspaper was found burned. This copy was the only one (partially) saved.

We’re not really sure if it was an accident. Issue 077 was supposed to report the first ever meeting of the STC Squad founders so it could also be a major sabotage act. What do you think?

The only lead we have is that some Quest Travelers claimed to have seen Count and his Modlums having a meeting about their “next plans”. But due to the lack of visual evidence (photos) from witnesses, we really can’t tell whether the ‘alleged meeting’ actually happened.

-Wiglington Town Office

What do you think this could mean? What are your theories for this odd happening on Issue #007? Comment and let me know!

Traveler’s Tree Closes Off to Members Only

Floppy — Fri, 07 May 2010 20:47:29 +0000

Yes, the Traveler’s Tree has closed to let only Elite Quest Travelers pass through. If you can’t read or see the image above, here is what the message itself says if you’re a Quest Traveler (nonmember) and try to enter:

Sorry! The portal to the Traveler’s Tree is only accessible to Elite Quest Travelers! Click here to find out how you can be an Elite Quest Traveler.

I’m not sure if Moderators, Party Masters, and Reporters who aren’t members can access it or not, because they have the special rooms on the Traveler’s Tree.

Also, if you are a member and try to access any of the Moderators, Party Masters, and Reporters rooms, you will not be able to enter them anymore because they are only closed to those who the rooms are for. In other words, the viewing of the rooms from April 14-19 is over.
