Update 2.26
Greetings, OH Members:
Summer is in full swing, and we have yet again grown this week! Thank you all for the excellent recruiting you are doing (remember we will never force or cajole you into recruiting, do it if you would like!). We even seem to have some non-members doing a bit of recruiting for us, which is wonderful. It means we are establishing a name for ourselves even if only with a precious few folk in the community.
Summer Tournament & Games will be held sometime this month, if there is anyone that has ideas or would like to offer assistance to A and I, please let me know. This is a busy time for some of our Moderators, so we may need to have some extra help this month!
Just letting you all know I (Pamela-tesarikone) will be GONE from Sunday-Friday of this week. I'll be in Myrtle Beach for the week, and from my understanding I will have internet but I do not know for sure until I get there. So be on the lookout for an email on if I'm running something on Tuesday. If worst comes to worst, I will get to all my emails when I get back next weekend. This includes applications so if you've recruited someone please be sure to let them know that there is a possibility I will not send welcomes till the weekend.
Here's a great idea... those of you who know the ins and outs of our game, why don't you choose a new person and ask them to do a mission, or a one on one spar, or even just archery so they can gain some XP, make friends and feel part of our writing group!
Also, I'm sure this person did not do this to get praise, but I want to thank one of our new members who purchased ad-free for our message board! I won't call names in case this person wishes to remain anonymous.....but....
THANK YOU, that was very thoughtful of you!
Don't forget, if you have crafting skills it's time for you to ask for your crafting points. Don't forget to tell ashtonlocke and let him know how you want your points divided between skills...i.e. "Alchemy 10CP". See below for our big Crafting Change!
RECRUITING INCENTIVE
Summer is here, folks are out of school, finished with assignments and are prowling the chats looking for something to do all summer! This is where you come in. For every new player (not just a current player bringing in a new character) that you recruit that is accepted, you will get 10XP and 1,000gp. Everyone who is listed on the application is counted as a recruiter, so be sure to tell the recruit to add your SN if you are assisting them. ONLY if you give assistance though, and actually help you / recruit you. Don't just ask to be added because they are a friend.
Whoever recruits the most players by July 16 will receive a prize:
First Place: 30XP, 3,000gp, 5 Reputation
Second Place: 20XP, 2,000gp, 3 Reputation
Third Place: 10XP, 1,000gp, 1 Reputation
You may divide up the xp, gp and reputation between characters as you wish.
If at the end we have a tie of some sort, such as 3 people each recruited 1 player, I will roll dice to see who gets first, second and third. I'm not asking you to open boring-ass recruit chats by the way, I'm just asking you to be aware of who is around you, and to get out in public and roleplay. The best way to recruit is to open public chats and run your quests, missions and roleplay in public! Remember we are never going to be a game that pushes and cajoles and forces you to do recruiting, but it's still important to grow, so this is why I'm giving you this incentive!
LEADERBOARD!
First Place: tesarikone (4 Recruits)
Second Place: questingrequiem (2 Recruits), xvxvserenityxvxv (2 Recruits)
Third Place: legacyofrain (1 Recruit)
WEEKLY QUESTS & ROLEPLAY NIGHTS
• Tuesday, July 9th at 9pm (est) -- DM: Pamela -- This is dependent on if I can get online. I will let you all know Tuesday if this is going to happen. If there is another DM who will take this night if I can't, inform me please.
• Thursday, July 11th -- Activity/Event Night - Leader: Tim
• Saturday, July 13th at 9:30/10pm (est) -- DM: TBA (Probably Pamela)
WORD OF THE WEEK
Don't forget the Word of the Week! It's easy 2XP you can earn once a week just within your normal roleplay! Check the message board. Learn it. Use it. Send it in. **NEW WORD UP**
UPDATES, PATCHES, CLARIFICATIONS
1. Change to Crafting Points
Crafting points in some cases are getting out of hand! Some folks have some in say, Alchemy, with so many points they just will never be able to use them up, and need them in another crafting skill they have. So we are making some changes. You will receive 10 (TEN) crafting points each week ONLY--- regardless of how many crafting skills you have. When requesting your crafting points each Sunday, you will state where you wish your crafting points to go. For instance, you might say something like "Alchemy 2, CMI 5, Artisan 3". This should fix a few of the problems we are having in Crafting.
2. Skill States
Remember, you must state what skill or spell, etc you are using BEFORE you roll strike. Yes, this sucks if you make a miss but that is just how the cookie crumbles and we all deal with it!
