Talk:Effigy of Victory

If the Effigy was introduced in 337 AF, how could Shallam have had it starting in the year 335? --Krypton 23:17, 23 April 2008 (GMT)

Announce post #1279: Shallam wins the CTF in 335 AF, but the Effigy award apparently wasn't created until 337 AF. How do we want to resolve this dating issue? --Krypton 01:04, 24 April 2008 (GMT)

By mentioning exactly that, although I do not understand the first two time periods listed in the chart. Are they indicative of two separate CTF events? If not, let me know and I'll fix. We should also mention the bonus that it gives to the winning city's citizens. Asara 14:47, 24 April 2008 (GMT)

The chart indicates the span of time between every CTF rather than the span of time a city holds onto the Effigy. So the 335 AF - 337 AF represents the span of time after the first CTF that Shallam won (for which the Effigy was the prize, though it actually wasn't placed in the city until 337 AF), and the 337 AF - onward represents the time afterward Shallam won another CTF in 337 AF, allowing them to continue holding onto the Effigy they had for less than a year so far. My guess is that Shallam was given the experience boost throughout 335 AF - 337 AF, but the Effigy wasn't actually created as a physical testament to that boost until 337 AF. Can anyone confirm this? --Krypton 16:27, 24 April 2008 (GMT)

Tried to put an asterisk note, but can't get the formatting to work. Also, edit needed category was added to mark inclusion of effigy bonuses at some point. Asara 22:49, 5 May 2008 (GMT)

Just how exactly do you mention an Xp bonus ICly? Corvax 17:41, 6 May 2008 (GMT)

Well, we've mentioned experience bonuses in many other articles (e.g. Favour, Credibility), so as much as level is an IC concept, experience is too. Is that what you meant? Asara 21:11, 6 May 2008 (GMT)

I guess, just kinda seems weird. Then again, now I'm going to have to consider telling a denizen something like this next time I'm strongfavoured "My god made you worth more, I have more reason to kill you now, I'm sorry. I have to kill your women and children too, and the cat. Say hi to Maya!" Corvax 01:20, 7 May 2008 (GMT)

Well, we probably shouldn't elaborate it like that. =D And one of the other reasons I'm waiting is that for some reason, I had the impression that the Effigy bonus wasn't always experience or the same rate of experience, or something... is that right, or am I thinking of something else? Asara 01:36, 7 May 2008 (GMT)

Yes, you are thinking of Icons, probably. The Effigy is always experience and the same increased rate of experience gain (10%, if my memory serves me correctly). There might be a help file on it, i can't remember. --Slurpz 22:18, 10 May 2008 (GMT)

The above issue has been address by Gnaash, but I'm leaving the article in edit needed for the victors of the Y500 CTF. Asara 22:14, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
