With some belated approval, we're set to run randomized Ragnamixes every saturday. Ragnamixes will occur at totally random times anytime all day Saturday (some may even be clustered), on any saturday. While prizes themselves may change each week, there is at least a small treat already planned for any winner. Any specific themes or prize changes occurring for a particular saturday should hopefully be presented in its own topic when the time comes, though the idea is currently that the prize box will be a box with contents also random, just like the frequency of rounds. Community input on contents of the random prize box is encouraged... but not in this topic either. Input on our reoccurring event of Ragnamix every week, that itself would be appreciated in this topic.

With that clarified, all the new stuff for those already familiar with Ragnamix, here after will be content to inform those who are not yet familiar with the event itself.

Ragnamix is effectively a word scramble (anagram) event. At any random time on any saturday, a word (or phrase) is announced in public chat to the server, one which has been word scrambled. The winner is the first to whisper back the original unscrambled word to the VEP who asked it (So far either Katrimi or Zariel). Words are always specific to RO2 specific content.

Ragnamix also comes in four difficulties: [Examples in box brackets]
*Easy Mode: This round includes a single scrambled word. [Dre : Red]
*Hard Mode: This round includes a single scrambled phrase, each word scrambled individually. [Dre Ath : Red Hat]
*Expert Mode: This round includes a single scrambled phrase, the whole phrase scrambled together (including the spaces between words being moved) [Read Th : Red Hat]
*Chaos Mode: This round includes a single scrambled phrase, with the whole phrase scrambled into a single word (all spaces of words completely removed) [Thread : Red Hat]

Additional Rules:
*Who can participate? Anyone in game is free to participate, no restrictions. Just remember, you gotta be the first to get it right.
*When will it happen? Anytime saturday. We're free to even do a chain of them at once, with no pattern whatsoever on frequency, so long as it is only on saturday.
*Can people win more than once? I've witnessed it before, if you say no, people make use of their multitude of alts, or sits on a voice chat system and tells their friends so that all of their friends can win. As such, it isn't worth limiting people in this, multiple wins are allowed. It has been witnessed anyways that most people are better at certain difficulties and worse at others, so this should promote a variety of winners. Putting it at random times over the whole day should hopefully help this out as well. The people who wish to be nice and stop guessing once they win, I'm sure people will appreciate such. In fact, if someone wants to guess 'for the fun of it', just whisper right after your answer saying you're not in it to win and we'll skip you.
*Where are answers allowed? Whispers only. If you're the first person to shout it out in public chat, the first to WHISPER it to the VEP who asked the question will win.

Obviously the original rules of the game still hold (be nice, play fair, ect), and just like all of the patches this post may be updated to reflect new input for this event at any time. If anyone has ideas for such "new input", please post them in this topic. We hope you enjoy the event.
