Event Posting Guidelines - Please Read Before Posting!!

We want to make sure everyone that we possibly can is informed about upcoming events and in-game establishments. Using the guide below will make sure the most people get informed about your events.

How to Post Your Event

The site is set up to automatically populate the Event Planning and Advertising forum from the calendar:

1. Go to the Calendar by clicking the link on the navigation bar at the top of the page.
2. On the bottom right hand side of the date box on each day, you will see a little icon with a number 1. Click it.
3. Follow the posting instructions below

Events:

Make a post with the subject, "MM/DD/YY - Event". Multi-day events should have a separate post for each day to be the most effective. Not mandatory, but it will look better for you.

Subject Format For Single Events:

Code:

01/21/07 - Soulfire - Ladies' Night

Try and keep subjects short and to the point, so they fit well. The date format is NON-NEGOTIABLE. Your post must start with MM/DD/YY[SPACE][DASH][SPACE] or it will get mangled, if it shows up at all.

Subject Format For Weekly Events:

Code:

Tuesdays - Soulfire - Ladies' Night

Recurring events or an event that happens the same day every week. Rather than having to continuously edit or remake your event, you can set it once and forget about it. Instead of a date, you put "Mondays", "Tuesdays", "Fridays", etc. The events system will ever-after show your event on the main page calendar.

Post Format:

Code:

[b]What:[/b] Description about the event goes here.

[b]When:[/b]  Event time here, add in multiple time zones to make it easier on people.

[b]Where:[/b] Location of the event. Be specific: Zone, where in the zone, if player housing, the specific door, and character name to look up.

[b]Details:[/b] If you have a Venue description, post a link to it here, or your guild's web site, etc.



The Don'ts:

The Taverns That Aren't Our Own:

Occasionally, you'll find Taverns or other establishments with set rules that conflict with some of the RP that we're setting out to do, which totally and completely a-okay. Please feel free to post your thoughts, comments and ideas to this thread in regards to those standards in which we would like to maintain and keep our image fresh and drama free.

• No arrests, fights, or other brutality within RP taverns or player-run events without the explicit permission of the tavern or player-run events' owner or caretaker.
  
  
• Some taverns actually have this set as standard and will not be willing to bend the rules very much at all (Example: The Soulfire). We will respect their wishes at all times.
  
  
• Should you wish to pursue such RP, and the tavern owners are not willing to allow you to do so within the establishments walls, then kindly take the RP outside.
  
  
• The aforementioned notes should also come with the consent of the player you are arresting and/or fighting.

Member Made Events:

This should really go without saying, but we'll state it regardless. In the case that you do make an event, we ask that you extend the invitation to everyone, not only your closest friends. We understand that you might have a specific type of clientele in mind when you set up am event. But isolating others is hurtful. If you want to stick with a certain group of friends for an RP Event, do not bother posting the event on the forums.
