Upcoming Trial Information

Current Trial

Important Dates

• Friday, August 1st - An official trial 'newsletter' of sorts will be sent to the door of every single character in the game, featuring a list of the representatives for each side and detailing the next step of the trial.
• Friday, August 15th - All representatives are summoned (as described in the 'newsletter') to a unique place in the realm where a ceremony will be held. After the initial parts of the ceremony are finished, characters will be summoned one by one to receive their riddle in private (in a second thread.) During these moments, the representatives not with Sphinx may interact with each other.
• Sunday, September 14th - The day where the representatives are to deliver their solved riddle and the answer to Sphinx. From August 15th to September 14th, characters can try to figure things out and go on adventures to find whatever it is they have to retrieve, but on September 14th they will be accountable for delivering the requested item.

Trials of the Mind

• Story Information

Riddle trials, as per the first trial ever introduced into CU, are about solving puzzles and last about a month. Characters are selected to represent their team and be responsible for the solution to a puzzle they receive. They receive the puzzle at a ceremony with Lucifer, Metatron and Sphinx (a Trial-focused NPC) that officially begins the trial of the mind. Upon receiving the puzzles they can do what they want and attempt to solve their respective puzzles as best they can, with the occasional aid of teammates.

Characters that were not representatives could help representatives with their puzzles - but not everyone would necessarily solve the puzzle they receive. No one character should solve everyone's puzzles for them either - try to let everyone have an opportunity to have a character help in some way, if they want to.

Typically the puzzles have three parts. First, the riddle is in some sort of code, so one has to figure out what the riddle is saying. Then, one has to solve the riddle to figure out what they need to do and bring back to Sphinx. After that, it's all about the quest of finding what the riddle wants and bringing it to Sphinx on the last day of the trial!

• Other Information

The answers to the puzzles are not given out immediately, because actual players might want to have fun trying to solve the puzzles on their own outside of the game or to add some authenticity behind how their character(s) solve a puzzle. Two or three weeks into the trial, the answers will be publicly shared. Before that, the moderator will expect players to converse with her in comments or via email about their riddles and the actual answers, if they needed to know quickly.

When a character finally correctly figures out the second part of the puzzle (what the puzzle actually is asking of the character), players should email the mod so that extra details about the quest portion of the puzzles can be shared. Why the request that people alert the mod to this? This is because it's the best way she could think of to add in an interesting quest portion into the trial without necessarily giving away the answers.
