Sarlona Sunday - Weekly RP event

[lilleengen2]

Hello fellow sarlonians!



What is this post about?

Sarlona Sunday has been tried in the past with little interest, but after keeping at it since the end of februrary me and the other hosts are satisfied with the results and have decided to make a forum post about it. The thread is here to serve as an easy way to find information about upcoming events for anyone interested as well as general information about Sarlona Sunday.

What is Sarlona Sunday?

A simple weekly event that allows roleplayers, new as veteran, to gather up at a set time in a set location - If you are from a different server and just want to get some RP done, roll up a character and Sarlona on any sunday from 2PM EST/6PM GMT and you know you'll find some. Roleplaying is hard to come by in DDO, especially for new players and we hope this will serve as a fine hub to find some!

What happens on Sarlona Sunday?

A saying we have in norway goes like this; It doesn't get more fun than you make it! The RP-event is kept open, so any character can hop in and have a good time. What you bring with you to the event is of your choosing and interesting stories/plot hooks can really pump up the action. We will also be hosting more special events from time to time. When we do so, I will make a post in this thread to announce it a week before or so. But when that's not on, it's free-for-all!

Put up a roleplay questing group!
Make friends and start a static-group/RP guild!
Try to pickpocket the paladin!
Gamble with dice!

How does it work?

Meet up at the Bogwater Tavern when you see the LFM (or before). We will RP using general chat in /say and /emote, there's no need to join the LFM - But you can if you want to of course.

General guidelines:

1. Use your common sense.
2. Be cool.
3. Treat table dancers as drunkards and take it with a grin.
4. Understand that OOC and IC are seperate.
5. Have fun!

That's all I got so far folks! If there's anything else you'd like to see or have some ideas for something special that could happen.. Send me a message and we can talk about it and plan it together.

Happy roleplaying folks, see ya on sundays!

On the 19th of july, Sarlona Sunday will have its first special event! An arm wrestling tournament, where the winner will recieve their weight in gold.. Or in this case, 500k platinum. To keep it a bit more realistic, the poster says 500 gold and will be the given in-character prize.

General information:

When: 6PM GMT, sunday the 19th.
Where: Bogwater Tavern in the back when you enter.
What: Knock-out type of game. You lose, you're out.
Prize: 500,000 PP

Rules:

Base + tome bonus = STR modifier. No spells, class effects (rage, Divine Might etc) or items.

you start at 90 degrees
/roll 1d10+STR modifier
The winner of the roll takes a -2 STR penalty due to being tired
One is at 45 degrees, the other at 135
/roll 1d10+STR modifier
If the one at 45 degrees loses the next roll, he's out. If he wins the roll, both will be back at 90 degrees.
Repeat until one arm is all the way down.

- 90degrees > 45 degrees > you lose -

The arm wrestling is to be roleplayed - Try to keep it simple so the tournament doesn't get stale.

Example;

Cheletha rolls a 15
Arbel rolls a 11

Cheletha smirks at Arbel as she gains the upper hand.
Arbel groans defiantly as his arm slips down to the side.

Cheletha rolls a 9
Arbel rolls a 12

Cheletha 's cocky smirk disappears as Arbel pushes her hand back up to the middle.
Arbel pushes Cheletha's hand up again, mirroring Cheletha's smirk.

- This continues until one arm is down -
- Every match is a best out of three -

All are welcome to join and try to compete for the 500k!

Special thanks to my better half who took time out of her day to draw up the poster!

.. And what a turn up!

With eight contendants and four-ish spectators, this was quite the success for us!



Congratulations to Grunlai! Winning the 500 gold pieces (500k PP) and recognized as the new Bogwater Champion!



The contendants and remaining spectators standing around to congratulate the dragonmarked half-orc!

See you all next sunday!

There are a few roleplayers in my guild including our guild leader. I'll pass this info along so they can keep an eye out for the next event.

Thanks!

It's been a lot of focus on in-guild campaigns lately, but I think we'll have either a riddle-night or another arm wrestling tournament - This time with more prizes!
Though there's always casual RP on every sunday if that's of any interest.
