Title: Activities That Can Be Organised Post by: Hoagie on December 30, 2006, 08:50:00 pm This is a list of things you can do with two or more people. There is no need to sit and wait for things to happen. Although you might be happy with sitting around and RPing, if you want some action, make it happen! Hunting: A hunt could be a trip to a dungeon or other hostile location, with the aim to slaughter the inhabitants for gold or resources. These should be documented with a report and pictures, and pinned up on the In Character Boards (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html). Training: Trainings include kit checks, fitness training, combat training, and practising any element of Army Life. A training can even be focused on things such as hand to hand combat, training with a specific weapon, or how to survive in the wilderness. These should be documented with a report and pictures, and pinned up on the In Character Boards (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html). Patrolling: Patrols can be lead anywhere in the Shire. The aim of a patrol is to make sure all is safe around the Covian Shire, and you should mingle with the Citizens of Cove to make sure nothing suspicious is going on. These should be documented with a smaller report in the Patrolling Log (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/topic,4062.0.html). Exploring: Exploring can be done anywhere in Britannia. It is not necessarily a trip to a hostile location, but rather a journey to enhance knowledge of terrain and the inhabitants of far-off regions. These should be documented with a report and pictures, and pinned up on the In Character Boards (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html). Parades & Drills: These are similar to trainings, although they are more focused on showing the talent and ability of the soldiers. Holding displays of battle and parade orders around well travelled places such as banks and dungeons are useful for encouraging people to join our ranks. These should be documented with a report and pictures, and pinned up on the In Character Boards (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html). Relaxing: An important part of any Soldiers life! To get rid of the stress of a hard day, kick back in the Goblin and get a cold one. A good time to chat with your fellow soldiers and citizens alike. Feel free to get out of uniform, but be careful not to be tempted to dance like a fool! Excursions: Most often lead by a Senior Guardsman, these are trips to friendly towns to build (or, often demolish) good relations! Mingling with the locals, and relaxing in the nearest tavern are common, just be careful not to start any wars! Constructing defences: These don't have to be limited to sentries, but can include the construction of outposts, hiding places, and catapults. The more inventive the structure is, the more likely you are to get noticed by your superior officers! These should be documented with a report and pictures, and pinned up on the In Character Boards (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html). Recruitment missions: These are an important part of the Army's activity, as we are always in need of more soldiers to fill the ranks. These range from Recruitment stalls in popular locations, to helping people out in dungeons, and handing them leaflets. These should be documented with a report and pictures, and pinned up on the In Character Boards (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html). Games: What you do doesn't always have to be centered on the army. Get a dice, or a chess board and challenge your superiors or lower ranks alike. The greatest soldiers are good at everything! Sports: They keep you fit and bat away time with the blink of an eye. Pick up a bagball or volley ball and join one of our slowly building teams. ***** But what if you log on and you're the only person available? You could just log back off, but activity breeds activity, and there are things you can do to pass the time and help BoC. These can also help you climb the ranks to steal my job! Dropping off leaflets: New recruits are the blood of any army, and to help keep gaining new recruits, and people for you to play with, you can drop off leaflets. These can be done most places (except for areas inhabited by other guilds). Make an imaginative report, and post it up in the Grand Banner Campaign! (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/topic,4305.0.html) Hunting: Although more fun with other people, hunts can be carried out alone. For extra points, bring back some resources for the Army Supplies, and take it as a chance to get imaginative with your report (http://cove.fantasyworld.nl/forum/index.php/board,1.0.html)! ***** Although a consistant stream of events is great, as they say, variety is the spice of life. Here is a list of some fun games you can organise if you feel like a change from monster bashing! Drow Hunts: These can be done anywhere, but the Ogre Lord level of Despise is an excellent place to host this game. The attending guardsmen are given thirty minutes to gather as much gold as they can off monsters in the area. Stashing it somewhere is considered cheating, but you can hand it to the leader to take the load off your feet. You are allowed to knock each other for the gold, so bare in mind, even if you team up, there is only one winner! All guardsmen must be in a party with the leader so he/she can note who has been knocked by who, because when you get knocked, even the gold you have handed in is transferred! It's time to think like a Drow and manipulate people to your advantage. Watch your backs! Whack the Savage: Take the guardsmen to the Savage camp in Ilshenar. Assign the guardsmen into pairs, and they have thirty minutes to gather as many savage masks as possible. The team with the most masks at the end wins! No attacking the other teams, here, this is a teamwork and healing exercise! Henry's Blood Brawl: Named after the man who invented it, this game is quite literally, a bloody brawl. Best done in an enclosed area, the guardsmen have to attempt to knock eachother down until only one is left! The chaos goes on, for you each have three chances to avoid getting knocked on your behind. |
