Meal`n`Real — Episode 22
Introduction
Many of you enjoy episodes with less text, descriptions of events, and more statistics. In the final digest episode of this season, information will be presented to players with their gaming results.
Here, we will cover the entire Iron Age I season, starting from the community’s May activity. We will also find out the most active zones and their participants.
Preseason
On May 9th, it was announced that the community could expect preseason activity to stir things up. This enabled them to remember details they had already forgotten and to learn new ones. Of course, the most engaged people were pleasantly rewarded. Every week on Thursday, before the start of the tournament, players waited for some activity.
First Quiz
It was based on the material from the very first season of the Bronze Age II digest.
There were ten questions, and whoever correctly answered a question first received $15.
Here is the list of winners:
Zone Names
The next event was focused on creativity, where players suggested names for zones, and we selected the top 4 that were used for the main tournament.
The winners were:
Second Quiz
Everything was similar to the first one, but focused on the theme of Serious Talk articles, and each correct answer was valued at $20.
The winners were:
Twitter Thread
Community members were encouraged to create a thread with at least three tweets about Mithraeum. The top 4 received $30 each.
Over 40 participants took part in this activity. Here is the list of winners:
Third Quiz
Theme — Episodes of the second season digest. As always, there were ten questions, and each correct answer was valued at $15.
The winners were:
Blog
Players demonstrated their skills in creating structured and high-quality content in the form of articles. Over 10 participants took part, but there were only three winners. Each received $75.
Visual Contest
Here, we observed how the community interacted with AI. Participants were invited to create any visual content related to Mithraeum. There were many participants, but we selected the top 10, each receiving $15 to $30.
Meme Contest
The title says it all.
There were 5 winners, each receiving $15.
Digest Section
Participants were required to showcase creativity by suggesting a new section for the digest and describing why it would be interesting. Many participated, but none of the ideas were chosen for future use. However, we could not leave participants without consolation prizes, so there were 2 winners.
DEMO
The demo was launched on July 13th to introduce players to the main changes and what awaited them at the main event. There were a total of 2 zones for 80 participants, and anyone interested could join and participate for a few xDAI. The maximum reward pool was around $1000.
Video Content
It was the most challenging activity that required significant dedication if you wanted to win. Participants had to create content while playing the demo. Due to the numerous conditions, we gave players two weeks to fulfill them. The prize was $100, and $100 was for settlement purchase.
Banner Contest
The second visual competition was to create the most attractive banners, according to the team.
There were three prizes of $50 each and three prizes of $15 each.

It was created at the beginning of all activities as a connection with the community and their gradual preparation for the main tournament. We posted insides related to visual updates and new or updated mechanics once a week. There were a total of 10 insides during that time.
