Update 3.03
Greetings, OH Members:
The main thing I want you to be aware of this week is that our board is going through some changes. Please don't be discouraged if things aren't exactly how they were before, we are trying to update our boards so that our intro page is more like a web site, and then this week I've rearranged the boards to better be used in this web site type design. Do not fear, there are tons of links across the top that will take you to where you want to go! Our Combat Mod, J, has been working extensively on this, and we truly appreciate the work he's done.
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell (psionicwanderer) and let him know how you want your points divided between skills if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP". If you have skills or items that give you more points, you need to claim that on your email. If you have weekly rolls that give you gold, make sure those are mailed in as well!
WEEKLY CHALLENGE
Our challenge for this week is a writing prompt. You may complete this writing prompt for any, or all of your characters.
PROMPT: When out in public with some friends or acquaintances, you bump into a close friend or family member who refers to you by a nickname. Because of its unusualness, the nickname catches the interest of one of your acquaintances, and they ask for the story behind it. Start your story with, “This may come as a surprise, but … ” and end it with, “And that’s how I got the nickname (fill in the blank).”
Your challenge this week is to complete the "Surprise Nickname" challenge!
One reward per character this week. You'll earn 2XP & 1000gp! Send your story, or link to your post on the boards to (tesarikone) for credit!
NEW CHARACTER BONUS & RECRUITMENT INCENTIVE
We have started a new incentive for new players and characters. All new characters at this time will start with 35XP, and 2000gp. This puts them at Topaz, allowing them to choose a profession as well as class. Be sure to let people know that there is an incentive going on right now when you talk to them!
Recruiters, if you recruit a new player (not just someone's new character), then you will receive 10XP & 2000gp per player that actually fills out an application correctly and is accepted! You may put this xp & gp on any character you wish.
CALENDAR
While it is a change to be using the Calendar System on our boards, let's try to start using it. This includes me! I will be using our Calendar system more and more, it's right across the top, click it for info. IF YOU ADD A DATE, I've added a new board called "Event Calendar" and you can link all your posts there, so if you are hosting a mission or quest, or other activity please use the calendar to let us know what's going on.
If you are having trouble finding the original forum, just click FORUM in the list at the top of the page, beneath our awesome new graphic!

Extra Credit: Answer a question for 2XP. Remember, one per player. Tell me where you want the 2XP when you reply! This question can always be found somewhere on our OH message board.
Name this type of horse:
Found in the noble stables of Navahla, the noble ??? is bred purely for appearance and ability to perform show dressage. Tall and greyhound lean, these horses have a high gait and carry their heads arched in what is considered proper noble style. This comes at a high price to the horse as after two or three years, this style of riding causes joint problems as all of the movements are not natural. ??? are also afflicted with a large degree of inbreeding due to irresponsible line breeding stallions to their own foals. They love to show off, and anytime there is at least a few people to watch, will do so by prancing and leaping about..
