Note that if a Mayhem participant is not on the lists, he or she has been disqualified for either chipping when not allowed to, or for exceeding the 30 hour time limit.
Congratulations to the winners, and thank you for participating!
Note that this is the top 10 participants in each category and their score. The complete and final lists will be published as soon as they are compiled.
There was an issue with the Merry Mayhem mission that moved you to Category 4 if you killed a Cornundacauda Prowler or Stalker. From that point on, kills in your correct category did not award kill points. That issue has now been resolved, and Cornundacauda Prowlers and Stalkers are now safe to hunt.
How do I know that I was affected?
If you were moved to Category 4 when you really belong to another category, then you have been affected.
What should I do if I am affected?
If you are affected, you have two options.
1: Just continue. First talk to Carl Tucker again, and you will be moved to the correct category. Then you just continue from where you were. Online time will count from Dec 26th 00:00 UTC.
2: Start over. You abandon the mission. Then you get the mission again, and start with a clean slate. If you get the mission at some point after Monday Dec 27th 11:00 UTC, your online time will count from Dec 27th 11:00.
In both cases, the event has been extended to Dec 31st 23:59.
What should I do if I am not affected?
If you are not affected by the bug, you don’t have to do anything. The event is still extended to Dec 31st 23:59.
The mission and Carl Tucker says the event ends on Dec 30th 23:59
The mission text could not be updated by the fix. The event ends Dec 31st 23:59, even if the mission text says otherwise.
It has come to our attention that there is a bug in the Merry Mayhem mission. The bug seems to be triggered when in Category 1 and killing Cornundacauda Stalker or Prowler. When the bug hits, you will be moved to Category 4 and further Cornundacauda kills do not count.
We will fix this bug as soon as possible. Expected time for the fix is around Monday morning (Swedish time). Until then, avoid hunting Cornundacauda Prowler and Stalker. If you are affected, you are advised to know that Cornundacauda kills do not count until the fix is up.
Because of the bug, we will push the end date of Mayhem by 24 hours.
Further information will be posted on Planet Calypso Forum and in the client loader as soon as we have it.
We are very sorry about the situation and we sincerely apologize for it.

COMPETITION STRUCTURE
This year, we will use the mission system to track Merry Mayhem. The Mayhem Mission is available from the contact Carl Tucker in Port Atlantis. This mission will track kill points and category. You can get the mission from Dec 21st, but kills will not register before Dec 26th.
Don’t forget to get the mission! You can get the mission up until the last minute of the competition, but if the mission is not active before Jan 8th, we cannot track your kill points and you will not participate in Merry Mayhem.
Do not abandon the mission! If you abandon the mission, you forfeit all kill points that you have collected. You can get the mission again, but your kill points are reset and you have to start over again. Even worse, you will have wasted valuable online time.
The competition will have four separate categories. Category qualification will be based upon a participant's highest Professional Standing from the following qualification list:
BLP Sniper (Hit)
BLP Pistoleer (Hit)
Laser Sniper (Hit)
Laser Pistoleer (Hit)
Swordsman (Hit)
Knife Fighter (Hit)
Brawler (Hit)
Your highest Professional Standing from the qualification list will determine which of the following categories you qualify for:
Category 1: Highest Professional Standing 0-24, including Level 24.
Category 2: Highest Professional standing 25-49, including Level 49.
Category 3: Highest Professional standing 50-69, including Level 69.
Category 4: Highest Professional Standing 70+
You will be preliminary sorted into a category when you get the mission. This preliminary sorting is for your information only, in order to help you prepare for the event.
The final category qualification will happen when you make your first kill of a target creature after the event starts on Dec 26th. If you skill up until then, you may qualify to a higher category than the one you were preliminary sorted to.
You will remain in the category that you qualify for at the beginning of the competition, regardless of whether you level up to a new category or not.
The creatures assigned to each category are:
Category 1: Cornundacauda
Category 2: Feffoid
Category 3: Eviscerator
Category 4: Scipulor

During the 5 day event period, a participant may only compete for a total of 30 hours.
Your total time online for the event must not exceed 30 hours.
You may distribute these 30 hours as you want over the event, as long as you’re total playing time does not exceed 30 hours.
Please note that your online session time counts from when you enter login and password to after the 20 second countdown on logout is finished (regardless of whether the client is closed or not), not from when the game world renders to when you press “log out”.
Play responsibly. First Planet Company strongly recommends that you take regular breaks and get an extended rest period after long sessions online.
No skill chipping is allowed between December 21st 12:00 UTC and December 31th 12:00 UTC for participants in this event.

Merry Mayhem - это ежегодно проводимый эвент (событие) для хантеров планеты Калипсо. Участники должны убивать определенных мобов в течении 30 часов в период 5 дней - с 21 декабря 2010 по 8 января 2011 года.
Конкурс будет иметь четыре отдельных категории. Квалификация категории будет основываться на турнирной таблице, которая будет определять мобов, на которых нужно будет охотиться.
Finally, we can announce the Merry Mayhem of 2010!
Merry Mayhem is a hunting competition, where participants are awarded kill points for killing specific creatures during a period of 30 hours distributed over five days. The competition will have four separate categories. Category qualification will be based upon the highest of certain Professional Standings, and the category determines what creatures you will have to hunt.
Points are awarded to participants based upon the maturity of the specified creature. Participants with the most kill-points are awarded special prizes.
This year’s Merry Mayhem will differ from last year on two important points:
Kill points are awarded for inflicting the most damage on a killed creature. You don’t have to shoot the killing shot, but you have to inflict more damage than anyone else shooting (or maiming or slicing) the creature.
We will use the mission system to track Merry Mayhem. The Mayhem Mission is available from the contact Carl Tucker in Port Atlantis. This mission will track your kill points and category. You can get the mission from Dec 21st, but kills will not register before Dec 26th.
So gear up and prepare to share with the mobs of Planet Calypso!
