Welcome to the Games
"LADIES AAAAND GENTLEMEN!" A booming voice cried out over a bustling city street filled with all sorts of people from all sorts of places. The voice came from a huge, stark white Colosseum at the center of the city's bustling market district. The building hadn't been used in quite a while, having sat abandoned for years. Recently though workers had been toiling away to clean and repair the broken structure and, naturally, had attracted a number of curious folk. It was to this inquisitive crowd that the voice had spoken, from an unassuming man standing in front of the Colosseum on a marble platform that looked designed to hold a statue.
"It's the moment you've all been waiting for, the BRAWLER'S BASH! It's the most exciting fighting competition we've ever had ("Isn't this the only one we've ever had?"), and we're here to watch blood-spilling battle-hardened warriors duke it out until only one of them is left standing!
Are any of you brave enough to stand up to the challenge of engaging in deadly combat? Come right on up to the recruitment table, and then we'll see what you're really made of.
Would you rather watch the fighting happen? That's perfectly fine too - we don't want to horde all the entertainment for the warriors. Go by the vendors to grab some food and then find yourself a seat to watch the events.
But let me introduce you to our judges! We have been graced with the presence of the Old Gods for this event! Citlalicue, our goddess of the stars! Chandra, our lunar deity! And last, but not least, Apollo, our god of the sun!
Folks, this is an event you don't want to miss! I have a feeling some pretty spectactular things are going to happen, and it'd be such a shame for you to miss out on all the excitement. So come on in and get in on the ground floor of the first annual SDRP Summer Games!"
~ * ~ Note: Be sure to post the right things in the right places.
Submit fighter applications to the Contest thread
Volunteer to help in the Volunteer thread
Chat and mingle in the OOC thread
Offer suggestions in the Discussion thread
Welcome to this year's SDRP Summer Games Volunteer thread where we hope the whole guild can sign up for some mingling and friendly competition either as part of the audience, event staff, or joining the fighters in the arena. The basic setting/premise of this year's Games is a Romanesque gladiatorial match held by the Old Gods in the Beimini Colosseum within the quirky and eclectic world of Aelzwyr, a pocket dimension between worlds where lost things tend to collect. Characters from anywhere can come and watch as part of the audience or join the fight by submitting an application at the Recruiter's table.
Audience members can be and do just about anything they please (so long as they follow the ToS and Colosseum rules which boil down to 'don't be a jerk'). Whether you just want to watch the fights or explore the event grounds, audience members can enjoy the fun and laid back walk-in RP (with an actual storyline *gasp*) that will make up the framework of the event where they can cheer, jeer, and bet on the fighters, peruse the various shops in Vendor's Row, and play in the side games this fun filled event has to offer.
The main attraction will be the Fights, a scene writing competition held within Gaia's Writing Contests forum. Each contestant will submit a fighter to the Event Thread (which will be hosted in Barton Town) and once enough fighters are signed up they will be paired off to write their scenes for the competition. Our Judges will pick the winner of each fight and only the victors will be posted to the Event Thread.
But the fighters won't be the only ones competing. There will be a number of side games offered throughout the event challenging audience members with word puzzles, dice games, and tests of skill. Small prizes will be given for the side games and there will be awards for various bests within the audience as well.
And don't forget the shops in Vendor's Row. To encourage interaction and give the crowd something to do we've got a few vendors selling various things throughout the event. From food items to memorabilia, art shops and charity auctions to gambling, wander through Vendor's Row for your event shopping needs.
Basically what we're missing is:
Donations - If you have any gold or items at all to spare please donate for the event by sending a gift or trade to the guild mule (School Of Dedicated RPers).
Staff Volunteers - we need more Marshals and Guards. Please volunteer to help out. We will love you forever for it.
Mini-Games - to give the non-fighters something to do we'll be hosting mini-games on the side. I need suggestions for what these should be and how they should be handled as well as volunteers to run them.
Vendors - we need more of them so if you've got a shop or idea for something to sell let us know and we'll figure out a way to include it.
Gambling - I need a volunteer to run the Bookie for the event. |

Rules
These are the basic codes of conduct within the Games. There are not many and they are very simple. Breaking these will have consequences.
1. Common Sense
Don't be an idiot. The thread starter is God. Respect him, respect each other, respect the TOS and forum rules (keep it PG-13, no spamming, no trolling, no soliciting, don't be a jerk). Don't mess it up for the rest of us and try not to do anything that would upset other people. This is a GAME after all, we're here to have fun.
2. Control
Don't control anyone else's character(s) or severely affect (maim, kill, etc) them without permission (you have permission against your opponent during fight rounds). Don't go off on an insane killing spree (without permission). Don't ruin the event so no starting a riot. Basically use some measure of self control or pay the consequences (character death/player ban).
See respective sections for specifics on how action is handled where combat and skill use is involved for Walk-ins and Competition.
3. Literacy
We write in third person, past tense, complete sentences. L33t speak, txt abbreviations, profuse slang, and generally bad grammar should not be used outside of dialog. We won't be grammar Nazis but do try to write above an 8th grade level.
If you center align long blocks of text, stretch the page, or use bright font colors I will kill your character.
See respective sections for specifics on formatting rules for Walk-ins and Competition.
4. Depth
We'd like our characters to be as real as possible. Don't just give us a vague concept, have a fleshed out person with a rich background and personality to play and try to keep it somewhat believable.
5. Commitment
We want dedicated players or at least to know how dedicated all our fighters are so we can pair them with others of the same level. Fighters will be asked how often they can check/post on their fight application, take that seriously and give us the time you sign up for. If you can't make at least one post a week you should stick to the audience and not participate in the competition. If you may have scheduling concerns you should discuss them with the Marshals when you put in your application.
6. Dependability
If you will be unable to post for a while please let anyone you have a scene with know ahead of time so they can get out of the scene if they would like to do something while you're gone. There is no formal punishment for failing to post regularly but frequent, repeated lapses will result in your character going 'in the bag' (either played by the GM as an NPC or knocked unconscious/otherwise incapacitated). Fighters will have one week after the declaration of their round to complete their fight or be disqualified.

Walk-in
Because every event needs an audience the SDRP Summer Games will be hosted inside the framework of a walk-in RP. To join the walk-in portion all you have to do is walk right in. Just like a real sporting event you'll be able to mingle with the rest of the crowd, wander about the event grounds, check out various vendors, fawn over the champions, try to scalp tickets at the gates (guards may not like this), cheer your favorite fighter, start a little fight of your own (the guards will really not like this), and occasionally the Judges may ask if a fighter should live or die. Pretty much anything you could do at a real gladiatorial fight can be done at the Summer Games (so long as you don't break the Rules).
As for your character, well, the Games are being held in a world made up of other worlds where anything can happen and anyone can fall in so your character can be from anywhere - real life, a favorite story world, an RP of your own, or someone you created just for this event. The only thing you can't play is a non-original character, let's all make our own so we don't end up fighting over popular ones.
See the Walk-in post of the Event RP thread for more specific information.

Competition
The main event will be the fighting/writing competition held within Gaia's Writing Contests forum which pits players against each other to write the best fight given the paired characters.
The fights will consist of several elimination rounds, each with different twists and conditions to make them interesting, until there is only one fighter left standing. Rounds will be carefully matched and given out by the Announcer. Early rounds will be broken into various brackets (magic-users, non-magic, realistic) to help balance fighters from varied backgrounds and power levels. Each round's specific rules will not be pre-planned but given out when the fighters are paired and shall be appropriate for both characters (not going to put a kung fu master against a spindly wizard and then restrict magic).
We're still taking ideas on the round specifics but a few we've got so far are: restrict magic use, lions (or other animals) in the ring, restrict weapons, spinning cage fight (gravity shifts), team fights, chariot fight, Kraken fight (flooded arena), anti-gravity fight, and various setting changes/obstacles.
See the Competition Details post of the Contest thread for more specific information.

Rewards
Competition Prizes
The grand prize of this year's Summer Games will go to the event's Champion - the final winner of the writing competition. Along with the title of Champion, the winner will receive: a full color digital artwork commission from SDRP's resident artist (umbraja), 100,000g, and first pick from our Prize Pool Items.
There will also be a finalist and two semi-finalists in the fights who will receive small character sketches or pixel art from resident artists (umbraja and Venom), a pick at the Prize Pool Items, and 50,000g.
But those aren't the only prizes to be had. The winner of each round in the writing competition will be gifted with a small token prize (probably a cupcake) and stat bonuses to be added to their character's stats for use in later rounds. Some rounds may also award in-game items (potions and weapons) to be used in later rounds or other prizes. Judges may also award characters with Divine Blessings (stat bonuses, items, spells, whatever they come up with) for exemplary performance. All these rewards will help your character's chances of winning the grand prize and any character that survives (or is resurrected) can come back next time we hold the Games with all the bonuses earned.

The numbers in ( ) indicate how many of the item we currently have on hand and the listed prices are rounded approximations of the average market value at the time we looked it up.
Rather than assigning a specific item to each award we're gong to let the winners pick from this list. Prize selection will be on a first come first serve basis (unless otherwise noted in the award).
If you're feeling generous and happen to have one of these items (or gold or anything really) please send it to the SDRP mule (School Of Dedicated RPers) so that we can add it to our Prize Pool.

Event Staff
Event Staff will be made up of SDRP members who've graciously volunteered their time to make this event a success. If you would like to be one of the Staff members submit the appropriate application to the Summer Event Discussion thread in the guild's main forum.
Marshals
Marshals are past Champions in the ring that will be getting us started off by running the Recruitment Table to sign up the fighters and make sure they aren't completely out of balance. Once the fights start the Marshals' job changes to keeping the fighters in line and making sure they get their fights written on time. (May be combined with Guards if not enough volunteer.)
Cedric Ardent (Mr. Blackbird Lore): It's not hard to guess why they asked this two-time champion to oversee the new fighters: just look at that face!
Sir Alexander (Ivaylo_Sai): Protector of the Innocent, Slayer of Bears, Keeper of the Juice, Rider of Lightning, Taster of the Dead - Alex may look like the quintessential knight in shining armor but there's more (or less) to him than meets the eye.
Guards
As the title suggests, the Guards are exactly that, security guards that run the event's security to make sure everyone is following the rules and getting along. This may or may not be a busy position (depending on the players) but it does require a lot of commitment as you'll need to be vigilant. It will also require a lot of tact and good people skills so keep that in mind. (May be combined with Guards if not enough volunteer.)
Allegra Sinclair (..s.k.i.t.t.l.e.s..): If folks get out of line, this girl's got a swift kick in their backside waiting and they won't even see it coming.
Jason Kharo (Jason Kharo): This one keeps himself to himself and never lets out why he is here or where he came from. He is a highly trained and expert operative, a match for any martial art master in hand to hand, and with 20/10 eyesight, his rounds are always on target.
Riven (Riv) Fannars (Watervoir): Want your daily dose of fun? Riv Fannars is your man - and more. This year, he is tasked with the job of policing the crowd and enforcing the rules. Don't go too far and he won't have to freeze your pretty face in place.
Sage Proctor (Kage Tsukuyomi): More playful than he looks, don't be alarmed if this one decides to tickle your brain with a stick of pocky.
Announcer
Responsible for introducing the fights (giving out the pairings and twists) and announcing the winners, the Announcer is the voice of the Games
Captain (School Of Dedicated RPers): Humble servant of the gods.
Judges
The Old Gods will be deciding who wins and loses.
Citlalicue (Isa-sama): Goddess of earth, death, and the Milky Way.
Chandra Soma (Jikial): Illustrious god of the moon.
Apollo (umbraja): Golden god of the sun.
Vendors
To encourage interaction and give the crowd something to do we've got a few vendors selling various things throughout the event. From food items to memorabilia, art shops to gambling, wander through Vendor's Row for your event shopping needs.
Go Elsewhere
The Games' official Travel Agent. Because sometimes life gets boring and you just need to Go Elsewhere.
Umbraja (umbraja): a well traveled adventurer with a sultry smile and quick draw, just the sort you'd want to show you around the wilds of the multiverse.
Lady Luck
The Games' official Bookie. What's a sporting event without a little shady gambling going on?
Tigris Altacia (Tigris_Altacia): more than just a pretty face, this kitty will take your money and hand it up to Fate.
Gods Gift
The Games' official Charity Auction. Give back and get back! We are as a god when it comes to turning items into gold!
Jikial (Jikial): almost aggressively easy-going, this joker likes to be the center of attention.
Lockley Concessions
Cheering on your favourite fighter, or fighting the good fight itself, is bound to work up an appetite! Silence that grumbling tummy and drop on by Lockley Concessions! Where the food is good, the service has a smile, and the prices are as competitive as the competition it caters to!
Kieran Lockley (EmpyreanFlight): A goofy, laid-back young man who's main goal in life is to smile, and bake. Lots and lots of baking.
Katarina Lockley (EmpyreanFlight): A cheery, friendly, but determined chef whose patience runs near infinite. Unless it's her brother.
We would like several more Vendors so if you have a shop or idea for something to sell please volunteer by submitting the following application to the Volunteer thread in the guild's main forum.

Looks: a knight - complete with brightly shining armor. Platinum blond hair fell down his shoulders in a silky sheet to frame a pleasantly pale and slightly boyish face. Friendly, emerald eyes topped a welcoming, though slightly vacant, smile. A bearskin wrapped round his shoulders made a sort of furry cloak, the paws clasping it together at his chest and the head biting his left shoulder over the pauldron. Intricate details filigreed each plate of his mythril armor in a rich design not at all marred by the odd animal cape.
Personality: Alex is your quintessential knight: honorable, brave, noble, just, inflicted with a severe case of Paladin's Disease, prejudice against green-skins and general ugliness, prone to unnecessary acts of valor, thick as a brick wall, oblivious to subtlety, naive, gullible. . . ok, so not perfectly your quintessential knight but he tries so very hard to be.
Character Summary: Protector of the Innocent, Slayer of Bears, Keeper of the Juice, Rider of Lightning, Taster of the Dead - Alex may look like the quintessential knight in shining armor but there's more (or less) to him than meets the eye.
RP Experience: Several years
Will you be fighting? Probably not unless we need extra fighters

Application accepted. Mel (umbraja)'s gonna put you at a Guard since you kinda need to be Crew to update the threads (which I really need to do) as a Marshal's supposed to. It's ok though, Marshal and Guard is basically the same thing other than updating the threads.
Mel's having to do her irl job right now but she's gonna work you up a posting banner thing tonight so you can use it when you post as your Guard.
Thanks for volunteering!
