Update 2.27
Greetings, OH Members:
We are putting all the finishing touches on the Midsummer Games which we plan to hold at the end of this month. Holding something like this for the group takes a lot of work, so if you are interested in assisting in any way please let me know. The best thing you can do is just to PARTICIPATE! That's right, pick a game, open a chat room and invite whoever is online to participate. There are going to be many, many activities that everyone can participate in so hopefully there'll be something fun for everyone. I also need help in planning and executing the Barn Dance at the end of the games, both in-character (to be the "hosts") and out-of-character (planning).
Shhhh....There are FOUR ways to gain extra XP just in this Update!
There are only a handful of days left in the recruiting contest. It ends on this Tuesday, the 16th! I'd like to see just ONE more person recruited to break any of the ties on the board!
Special Note-- Some of you may have noticed the Rumor Shoutbox on the bottom of the board, where you can type in rumors and intrigue. I'm going to give you all 1xp for every rumor/snippet/gossip you put up there with a limit of 1 a day per character all this week only. Whichever character that posts the rumor or gossip (can be about your char, NPC's or other chars) gets the xp, if you are using the same sn for many be sure to put who is leaving the gossip such as "I saw a dead body floating in the lake" -- (From Maria).
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 if you have multiples...i.e. "Alchemy 8CP, Artisan 2CP".
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 TUESDAY 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), iyieldtonone (1 Recruit)

Extra Credit: Answer a question for 2XP. Remember, one per player. Tell me where you want the 2XP when you reply!
Please tell me the name of the flower with this description (Flora):
??? are tiny, delicate, pale blue flowers with white stigma. They only open at night, and have a unique tendency to point to the middle of the three moons.
Even when the plant is moved, the flowers still point to the middle moon, but it may take a few hours for them to turn to the correct point. ??? will continue to point towards it until just before dawn.
