So I've been noticing a few players who are quite new to the RP Events. This thread is designed to help those who might have future questions for it later, and to get a broad idea of what they could possibly expect.
King Azreth has graciously stepped in from his busy schedule to help me in this endeavor.
Now without further adieu, let's get on with a short explanation.
arrow Step 1 - Sign up for the event. You guys have been pretty good about doing this so far. Remember, when you sign up, fill out the form as correctly as possible. You have three times (all in Eastern Standard Time Zone - or EST) to choose from - 1 pm, 6pm, and 10 pm. If you are unsure of which times will work for you, sign up for all three, but remember - you may only participate at one time. I usually open sign up threads the Monday after an event and close sign up threads at 12 pm the day of the event. Sometimes, sign ups are not mandatory, but signing up helps me in creating obstacles and making the games fair and fun for everyone participating. Also, I cannot stress this enough - be on time! If you show up to an event 10 minutes late, your horse will automatically be at a disadvantage and you wouldn't want that. However, I will give special rounds under extremely special circumstances. I'm not completely heartless and I'm willing to work with you as long as you are willing to work with me.
arrow Step 2 - Participate. Now this one I'm going to have to break down.
>>>>On the day of the event, I will quote you at least 20 to 30 minutes before your time is supposed to begin. That way, it'll give players time to check their messages and what not. I will only quote you once so make sure you keep a tab open for the RP Event.
>>>>After I quote you, post to let me know you are ready. When you post, make sure you include an image of your Azrein (no URLs please) as well as Stats underneath them and some sort of slogan ("Nailiah is willing and ready to go!"). The game will begin after all players are accounted for OR when time says it should start.
I think the rest will be mostly self explanatory. I will post what is required of your Azrein (an obstacle) each time until a winner is chosen. If there is only one person playing, I reserve the right to deem them the winner if I see fit. No sense in having them do all that work only to get the 2% prize.
RP Events can take anywhere from an hour to two and a half hours long so make sure you have the time to sit down and do so.

This is what a typical first post "Sign-Up" Thread will look like. Information for that week's RP Event will go here. Don't hesitate to PM me if you're confused about something. Quote: RP EVENT SUNDAY - Month Day, Year I will split it up in three sections. The First Round begins 1pm EST.
The Second Round begins at 6pm EST.
The Third Round begins at 10pm EST.Time Zone ConverterVery easy to use. To the left side, enter the Round time you wish to make in the top and the bottom, type in 'Eastern' and it should give you options to auto fill. Make sure you click ET and not EDT.. To the right side in the bottom rectangle, enter in your city, state, or time zone. It'll convert it immediately. Since it's the (First, Second, Third, or Fourth) Sunday of the month, this will be for All,Good,Neutral, or Evil, Alignment only. Anyone who wants to raise the stats of their Azrein may join. Each user may choose only ONE Azrein to participate in the RP. INFORMATION:Idea for the event goes hereMISSION OBJECTIVE:Little mission objective goes here ~~~~~~~<^>~~~~~~~ Rules arrow Read THIS thread. It will most likely have other questions you have answered as well as an example of how to do an RP Event (even though it is incomplete, it gives you the basic idea). If you are still confused after reading this over, PM or Quote me in thread. arrow Sign up on time. Do not PM me last minute asking to sign up when you have had the whole week to. If you are not sure what time you are available, just sign up for all the rounds, but keep in mind you are only allowed to attend one round. I'm very picky on this because I create these obstacles. I need to know how much to plan for. I also need to take into account if someone's Stats is higher than the other so that the game can be fair and fun. arrow No shows will not be tolerated. Lately there have been a string of players who sign up and then don't attend at their chosen time. That wastes my time and as a college student with a part-time job, I do not appreciate that. Therefore, as of now (September 27, 2011), if you sign up for a game and miss it three (3) consecutive times without a proper excuse (deemed proper by myself), you are not allowed to attend RP Events for one (1) month. A second infraction (another three consecutive months) gives you three (3) months. A third infraction (another three consecutive months) give you six (6) months and so on. I do this to make sure that you are absolutely positive that you will show up to the game. I don't need to waste a Sunday afternoon if I don't need to. The player has up to one month from the missed game to send me a PM of their excuse. arrow Keep an eye on the time. I'm human and I may forget to start game. Quote me or send me a PM reminding me of your time. arrow Read the post. Nine times out of ten, the answer to your question is here. If not, quote me in thread or PM me. arrow In calculations, decimals do not count. I understand that not everyone's stats can be divided equally by five. So here is how it works - if it's 0.1 - 0.4, round the number down. If it is 0.5 - 0.9, round the number up, I will be checking math to make sure everyone does it correctly. arrow Do NOT cheat. This includes deleting posts with dice rolls or editing the math to work it in your favor. If you are found out, depending on the severity, you could easily lose your chance to participate in RP Events for the rest of the month. arrow Questions or Concerns? PM me. I am not a mind reader therefore I do not know when I have possibly done something wrong. If you believe there is something going on (unsportsmanlike conduct, cheating, harassment, etc.) please PM me or send me an instant message on AIM. arrow Have Fun. This is the most important rule really. Have fun with your posts and RPing with each other. Even if you don't win, you still have points and you had a great experience. >> I reserve the right to add or delete rules. << ~~~~~~~<^>~~~~~~~ SIGN-UPS.Sign ups are (MANDATORY/OPTIONAL)Copy the code and post below.

[Oooh Lendel. Let's see what happens shall we?]
Because this is a sample round, there really isn't any mission objective.
As Lendel is taking time to himself, a small herd of neutral aligned azrein come running up to him. They are piqued and curious about this stallion who claims to be the "Guardian of Song". Curious about his musical intellect, the azrein proceed to ask him a series of questions about music. Unfortunately for Lendel, this group know a lot about melodies and songs.
2 Strike Rule before disqualification. Last Azrein standing wins.
First Task - Answer the herd's questions as much as possible. They really want to know what you do!
Formula - Roll between 20 and 30. Then calculate - Intelligence/5 = Y. Y x 2 = X.
X + Whatever you roll = Final number. 35 or over, you win.

The stallion's eyes were bright, his ears pricked forward, giving the Azrein his full, undivided attention. "To be honest, I don't know about the technicalities behind the music, my friends." He offered them a winning smile, tucking his nose down slightly in embarrassment. "All I know is that I love to play it, love to hear it, love to lose myself in it, and love to be it, but I will do my best!"
27 / 5 = 5.4 -> 5

The herd looks toward him a little skeptically, but his answers made sense (even if his appearance didn't). The stallion was quite charming as well. Maybe he was what they needed. One of them piped up, "Well you seem like someone of good taste. We need your help. There's an azrein in the forest threatening to attack us unless someone can...sing him to sleep. Problem is, none of us can carry a tune or most of us can stand his stench for more than an hour or two...You can find him in the forest." True Lendel could probably go on his own, but maybe one or two of the members could guide him to the "wicked" creature..
2 Strike Rule before disqualification. Last Azrein standing wins.
Second Task - Convince some of the herd members to lead you into the forest to find the azrein. This is a pretty scared bunch so you'll have to do your best!
Formula - Roll between 20 and 30. Then calculate - Charisma/5 = Y. Y x 2 = X.
X + Whatever you roll = Final number. 35 or over, you win.

♪ ᴖ ♫ ᴖ ♪♪ L e n d e l ♪♪ ᴗ ♫ ᴗ ♪ ----------------<Lendel blinks as one of the Azrein told him of their problem. Fighting wasn't really his strong suit, but singing? And a lullaby, at that?
That was Lendel's forte. The stallion was fairly confident in his ability to lull the Azrein in the forest to sleep, however he wasn't too familiar with the area, so he really would like a guide. The stallion's blue gaze traveled over each of the Azrein, reading the lines and planes of their features to discern their emotions.
Anxious, nervous, a bit of hope in there as well. Lendel nodded to himself; he was always grateful for what his Chosen had taught him. After meeting Lendel, Rethken had drilled the stallion ruthlessly, endlessly, until Lendel could read the emotion and temperament of human and Azrein alike based only on sight and tone. Body language, the tension or relaxation of the minute, barely discernible muscles in the face and neck; Lendel knew it all.
The stallion cocked up his back hoof, projecting calm and confidence through unspoken body language to the small group of Azrein, hoping to calm them down a bit.
"Well, I'm sure I can help you out; after all, there's no reason for anyone to get hurt. And if it's a songster you need to assist you, then I will be more than happy to offer my services. However, it would be kind if I could have one or two of you accompany me. I really must admit that I'm not familiar with the terrain here, not to mention I always perform best with a bit of an audience." Lendel nickered, tossing his head as if laughing at his own vanity, the gold of the haircomb nestled behind his ear glinting in the early run's rays.
3o / 5 = 6
6 x 2 = 12
12 + 24 = 36

Some of the herd danced on their front hooves daring to not look at him in the eyes. A small few however seemed to be interested in what he had to say. He was willing to help, but he needed assistance. Two azrein - a mare and a stallion - came forward from the herd. "We will help you, Ser." The male said looking toward the other who. Soon, the trio were on their way to the forest. Wanting to not waste anymore daylight, the two azrein decided to run. Hopefully Lendel could keep up.
2 Strike Rule before disqualification. Last Azrein standing wins.
Third Task - Keep up with the running azrein to the forest. Don't get lost or left behind!
Formula - Roll between 20 and 30. Then calculate - Speed/5 = Y. Y x 2 = X.
X + Whatever you roll = Final number. 35 or over, you win.

The two were twisting and turning in and out of trees, and Lendel was unfamiliar with galloping through wooded areas. The stallion grit his teeth, determined not to fall behind, and listened to the symphony of the wind in his ears.

As hard as Lendel tried, he could not keep up with the pair. However, they slowed down to let him catch up. He was probably exhausted from the run, but there was still more work to do. As the trio moved closer and closer, a foul stench began to pollute the air. "We're getting closer, Ser." The mare coughed out shaking her head often as if trying to breath through the stink. It was starting to affect the stallion as well. Pretty soon, Lendel would have to go forth by himself as much as his two companions tried. The forest was dark, smelled of death, and the snorting and stamping of the azrein-beast was not far off...
2 Strike Rule before disqualification. Last Azrein standing wins.
Lendel - 1 strike.
Fourth Task - Does Lendel have what it takes to continue forward on his own, find the beast, and survive the stink?
Formula - Roll between 20 and 30. Then calculate - Courage or Luck/5 = Y. Y x 2 = X.
X + Whatever you roll = Final number. 35 or over, you win.
