MAMEWorld Forums - The Loony Bin

Alright, let's do this.

Basically, it's a limited time event to earn equip-able in-game items by "solving riddles", which in a game, naturally equates to doing certain in-game tasks. In this case, it's by doing those tasks while playing set numbers of matches (3/7/15 for the first two, 3/5/10 for the last one - the more you do the more time you have to use the item you get, it goes 7 days/14 days/infinitely) in order to get them. These items boost your stats in some way or manner that being as I've not played this game, I can't talk of how much the total impact is.

I've taken the liberty of going through the whole lot. I apologize in advance for the lack of professionalism, I'm no editor, and I don't like adding flavor text.

Also, old, fantasy writing makes my head hurt. That stuff's always just crazy. Hence, there is probably going to be places where I draw a blank, and inaccuracies/errors.

First Ancient Tome

(old writings)
For the one who cries into earth's glass,
an unreachable borderland
for it is when you take the desired glass to hand,
a sacrifice cheering up is swept away and here it is announced
the collection of heaven is nigh
the force of the earth becomes powerless
when the heavens are grasped under one's own strength
the hidden treasure will be taken

Ring of Blessing
(For male and female use, one usable at a time)

Results: Five Characters +15%, All Character Tiles +5%

Second Ancient Tome

discard the engraved characterless point
protect the bee more than the load
a warless world is governed here
the one who disturbs heaven will surely take the hidden treasure

Cautionary Topics

The amounts for the collection conditions above (Poster's Note: as seen in the three tomes) are used.
Example: If the collection conditions are fulfilled 8 times for the "First Hidden Treasure", it will only be taken as getting the Ring of Blessing (14 days).
-The accepted modes are "Public Match" and "Special Villa Match". "Friend Match" and "AI Match" are excluded.
-If, before the unveiling of the "Second, Third Ancient Tomes", the conditions are achieved, the number [of matches] in that case will be counted.
-In the case it is confirmed that the results of the matches have been gotten dishonestly or through other inappropriate methods [then involved party is] no longer subject to the event.

(On Picture) With the hidden treasures complete Character, Dot, and Bamboo Tiles are +25%!

Again, like the description said, they're written in fantasy RPG 'the legend is read' lingo, so they probably still need work. As with any text found in such a volume, they're vague and crazy as usual, so any help with those would be appreciated.

Until next time, keep on RTFMin'. I--{=-^.^-=}
