Pathday 4 AKA Day of Restoration

[PoeticPuppy]

[size=150][color=#FF0000]Happy Pathday![/color][/size]

Thank you all for being here for our 4th Pathday! This years Pathday is a little different to what you are used to but we still want to reward you all for your participation and continued support. So whether you're a roleplayer or a gamer, you'll have the opportunity to earn a little extra from your time with us over the next couple of days.

The biggest change you'll see this year is that Pathday is going IC! Bancroft, the newly appointed mayor of Harper Rock, has proclaimed that March 23rd shall be a Harper Rock specific public holiday. This new holiday is called the Day of Restoration and it publicly commemorates the citizens of Harper Rock as everyone came together in the wake of the recent storm to restore the city to its former glory. Vampires however might be aware that the date chosen is rather auspicious and not at all arbitrary, as it is the date the elders of the city began to return from the shadow realm; they might also recognise that this is in fact the real event that the mayor wishes to commemorate.

As part of the Pathday celebrations, [b]two live roleplay events[/b] will be held here on the forum; one of which will be vampires only. Grid side, instead of a 24 hour “killathon” of a specific set of NPCs, we will be temporarily [b]doubling the EXP[/b] earned by killing any of the standard NPCs. Lastly, we will be continuing tradition by awarding the [b]forum titles[/b] for the most NPC kills of a specific type of NPC for the year.

Further information about the RP events:
[list=1][*]The RPs will take place on the hardcore ruleset board and all the rules are to be followed, with the exception of rule 6, since the style of this event is a live chat RP.
[*]All posts should be a minimum of 50 words and a maximum of 150 words. This is to ensure quick replies.
[*]We do not expect you to maintain posting order and we would like to make it clear that you are not permitted to double post.
[*]The threads will be open for 48 hours, after which they will be locked to any new replies and should you wish to continue the roleplay, you will have to continue it in a new thread whereupon all the usual rules for roleplay will apply. Note: While the threads will be open for 48 hours, the RP itself will only span the time from sunset on 23rd March to Sunrise on 24th March.
[*]All RP for these two events should take place in one of the two official threads, you are not permitted to break off into smaller groups and post in a similar style in new threads.
[*]You are permitted to enter both threads and you may RP in the threads with as many of your characters as you like. HOWEVER, you are NOT permitted to interact with any of your own characters.
[*]Should anyone be found spamming the thread for RPP or flaunting the rules, they will be banned from posting in the forum for the remainder of the event.
[*]If you need to use an online word counter, you might wish to try this one [url=http://www.wordcounter.net/]here[/url].[/list]

Question(s) about the RP threads

What is the difference between the 2 Pathday RPs and normal forum RP?
The difference is that they are to be treated like any live roleplay being done in location chats, (except that they have a word limit). People can come and go over the space of one IC night for as long as the threads are open. The reason for setting up 2 threads instead of running 2 separate events in location chats, is so that people can earn RPP for their time and effort as they get immediately rewarded for their RP on the forum.

[PoeticPuppy]

The EXP earned for killing NPCs has been returned to normal, bringing this aspect of the Pathday celebrations to an end.

The time limit for the RPs however has been extended and will now run through to the weekend; the new deadline for the closure of the Pathday threads is 23.59pm GMT on Sunday 29th March.

The RP threads have been moved to streets so that people may continue them at their leisure. Posts need no longer be between 50-150 words.
