Contest "Laws of the Snowy Garland"

Greetings, dear friends! While Santa is getting ready for a long journey and his faithful reindeer are cleaning their hooves, we are opening the doors of our fairy-tale laboratory for you! Today at 17:00 we invite you not just to recall the alphabet, but to take part in an exciting game – a New Year letter starfall! Every correctly named letter is a precious stone in our word mosaic. Grab a cup of aromatic cocoa, tune in to the festive wave – soon we will begin our magical adventure! To create a shining garland of words, please read the participation rules: 1. Today at 16:55 a registration form for participants will appear in the "Puzzles" section. You have 10 minutes to fill it out. Participants who fail to fill out the form in time will not be able to earn points toward the overall Dance Odyssey marathon. Access to the form will remain open for two hours after the activity ends, after which it will be closed. 2. Immediately after the registration time ends, at exactly 17:05, an encrypted phrase will be published. 3. Your task is to guess the phrase by suggesting one letter at a time. 4. For order and to make it easier to track letters, a slow mode for sending messages will be enabled during the game (1 message every 30 seconds). 5. If the named letter is present in the phrase, it will be revealed. 6. If the phrase contains several identical letters, only the first named one will be revealed. To reveal subsequent identical letters, they must be named again. 7. The organizer will monitor messages in the corresponding section and promptly announce revealed letters. 8. Once all letters are revealed, further letters will not be accepted and players will be notified that the full phrase has been revealed. The first player to write it correctly after that wins the round. You may try to guess the phrase before it is fully revealed; in that case the participant likewise wins the round. 9. For each guessed letter a player receives 1 point. A fully correct phrase earns 5 points. 10. The round ends when the phrase is fully guessed and posted in the chat. Then a new round begins. The game continues until all phrases are solved. Example: Phrase: С НОВЫМ ГОДОМ Cipher: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ You write: М Cipher: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ М The three participants with the highest scores will receive 1 part of the "Angel of Love" outfit for their gender and 5 New Year crystals. All other participants who score at least 5 points will receive 15 spa passes and 5 New Year crystals. Rules: 1. Spaces in phrases count as characters and cannot be guessed. Use them to determine word boundaries. 2. There is no limit to the number of letters a participant may suggest. 3. Answers from participants who did not register for the game will not be counted when summing up the Dance Odyssey marathon results. 4. Each participant may play from only one account. Using additional accounts is prohibited. 5. Editing messages is prohibited. 6. The organizers reserve the right to change the contest terms at any stage. By participating, you automatically agree to these terms. 7. Be polite and respectful to the organizers, the jury and other participants at all stages of the contest, and follow the rules of the game and the platform. May this snowfall of letters be a magical start to your festive days! We are waiting for you in the snowy laboratory — let's create a New Year miracle together!
