Cuckoo For Coconuts
Saturday, July 7, 2007 12:00 noon, EDT and running for 24 hours.Have you ever been running around Egypt and found a coconut tree and thought "Hey, I should gather some..." only to find yourself overloaded with thousands of them? Well, now's the time to put some of that Coconut Meat to good use. Let's have a Coconut Meat Festival.
This is a very special event as the Grand Prize for the Top Gourmand will be an Untuned Microphone and the Grand Prize for the Top Chef will be a Portable Cornerstone. The Top 7 Champions in both Categories will receive 7 packets of two (2) as yet unreleased types of Wheat. All participants will receive some Cucumber and Eggplant seeds as a thank you for participating.
You will have 1 day to cook and sample your way to victory. The festival will start Saturday at Noon EDT, ending Sunday, giving everyone a chance to participate. So cook your largest meal, best duration, go sampling the most meals and most of all have fun!

Scoring
The event scoring details were obtained from Asheara.
Chefs
To participate, you need only to cook one or more meals in a single kitchen, while the event is in progress, and encourage folks to "Enjoy your Food."To be eligible for the event, each meal must include Coconut Meat as a base. That means that the quantity of Coconut Meat in the recipe must match (or exceed) the maximum quantity of any other unique ingredients in the recipe.
Scores are actually accumulated per kitchen, and a new cook resets the accumulated score. Your score is the total duration, in minutes, of the servings eaten in your kitchen.
 |  |
| 1h15m is the practical limit for a meal with five bases and a great many servings. This meal is worth 77 points. | Meals with fewer servings can last much, much longer. This meal is worth 224 points. |
If you prepare meals with a limited number of servings, however, you run the risk of the kitchen being empty part of the time, during the event.
Your objective, then, is to provide high duration meals to a great number of Gourmands, using a single kitchen. There is an obvious advantage to teaming with other cooks at a central location, so that you will all benefit from the traffic, and be able to share the advertising.
Cooking a Masterpiece will obviously help, so you should consider the use of novel ingredient combinations and potent additives, regardless of their stats.
Gourmands
To particpate, you need only to "Enjoy the Food" at several participating kitchens.Your score is the accumulated duration of the first 49 (non-hashed) meals that you eat during the event. Critical Evaluation is blocked, for everyone other than the actual cook, during the event, so you will have to depend on hearsay, and the reputation of the cook, regarding which kitchens have the best meals.
