BattleBoard

Battleboard is like a board game. You receive a bag with dice and your number. When it is your turn, you roll your dice and move forward the number of spaces that you rolled on both dice. The first person to the end wins the grand prize. All participants receive a prize bag at the end! Rules:

• For all forward moves, follow the directions on the tile.
• White tiles are neutral and do not require any other action.
• When you land on a colored tile, click on the tile and follow the directions.
• If you land on a tile that requires you to pick another player to move, you will roll the golden dice to pick the player, then roll your red dice to move them.
• The Orange, Blue, and Pink tiles are prize tiles. The GM will place a prize scroll in your pack that you can spend after the game. If you land on a tile with several other players, please step off the prize tile so the GM can target you.
• When game is over, turn in prize scrolls to the NPCs in the BB entrance room.
• You can only play on one account during the game.
• Have Fun!

Game of Thrones

Game of Thrones instructions

I have set up a game for all the guilds to participate in, its meant to set up friendly rivalries and engage in a bit of roleplay/pvp

Each guild leader has a custom "Gold Crown, King of XYZ" that is cursed. The guild leader must carry the crown on them at all times. If the leader is killed, the crown can be looted as the prize and must be delivered to the killer's guild leader to carry on their character. The crowns must be in the top layer of your pack at all times, not in the bank or in a blessed bag!

If you have more than one crown, you must carry them all on you. If you get killed you can lose all the crowns. If you set up a mutual challenge you may fight for one crown at a time.

I want to encourage the use of the [challenge command and the PVP Challenge System, and duel for crowns...or battle it out with some of the fun games. Even a simple game of chess or a round of Texas Hold'em could be fun!

At the end of the month, I would like the players with any looted crowns to allow a single challenge from the original crown guild leader to have a chance to win the crown back. The game can be anything the crown holder wishes. We can set this up in a fair, neutral place with a staff member present. At the end of the challenge, if a player still retains an extra crown, the player will win the monthly prize and the trophy. I will then return all crowns to their original owners and the game resets for the next month.

Be creative and have fun with this scenario. There will be a trophy each month and a gift to the guild who controls the most crowns on the last day of each month month

Defend your guild leader and your crown, your honor is at stake!

Always remember these key points:

1. No PvP at Staff Events EVER
2. No Cussing EVER
3. No Griefing EVER
4. If you cheat you lose your crown to the person you cheated / pk
5. You must have your crown on you character at all times!
6. This is supposed to be fun for all, and create a friendly rivalry type of atmosphere not generate real negativity across the shard...be mature, this is just a game and meant to be enjoyed

When you have possession of an opposing guild's crown, please make sure there is a reasonable opportunity to let them have a chance at getting it back...duel, gold ransom, trade, chess match, public display of remorse etc...again role play this and make it fun!

Remember you can only be PKed in Felucca, but can be challenged to a duel anywhere...your honor is at stake as a guild leader!

How you resolve these conflicts will demonstrate to your followers, what kind of leader you are...will they view you as a Mighty Dragon or a skittering hopper?

House Drops (IDOC)

House Drops are done every 6 months to clear out housing space for new players. The old term was "IDOC" which means a house is "in danger of collapsing." Players that have not logged into the shard for 6 months or more, the abandoned house may be "dropped" and all your items inside the house will fall to the ground and picked up by any player.

This is a very exciting event and players can find many treasured items during the house drops.

NOTE: A good strategy is to scout out houses likely to fall in the future and create rune books to all the potential locations!

Additional Event Rules: This is a large event. Please follow the normal event rules along with the following:

• DO NOT place new houses on top of the event
• DO NOT complain, whine or cry in public that you did not find any FREE loot!
• If you are uncooperative, disruptive or break any rule you will be jailed for the event

The only objective is to survive until the end. The last team standing will claim the rewards, Nothing else matters.

General Gameplay:
Players will be divided into teams of two (2) and spread out in the starting area. Each team will receive colored robes to determine their initial starting team. These robes may be removed if you wish upon the event starting. Each team will also be placed in their own Teamspeak channel for strategizing for one minute (60 seconds).

Once the event is started (signaled by the referee by saying "GO" in-game chat) teams will break off into whatever direction they choose. Players will seek out supply crates and begin carrying out whatever strategy they decide upon.
