Resist Session Hosted by O^S [Order of the Skull] Friday April 21st

ENTER AS A GHOST. STAY IN WAR MODE. GET RESED.

Do you need Resisting Spells? GM it for free! This session will be held at the O^S Training Keep, located in the player town of Alluvium, due east of Britain. The event will kick off Friday morning, April 21st and will end when we run out of supplies. You may enter the keep as a ghost as early as you like but casting will not begin until Friday morning.

What is a "Resist Session"?
Basically a few GM mages (Casters) line up and shoot spells at a whole bunch of people (Gainers), who gain in the skillResisting Spells. Gainers can only enter the Training Center as ghosts, but rez's will be provided inside. A guard will be provided outside the keep for your convenience. There will also be a gate available from the event lobby.

Griefing of any type will not be tolerated and will result in the offender being removed from the premises and not allowed back in. Once you are in the gainer or caster areas, you will be locked in. Wandering around the keep will not be possible. Please stable your pets BEFORE arriving at the event. There is a stable due south of the Training Keep at the bottom of the peninsula. Mounts wandering outside the event will be sent to the glue factory.

Due to problems we've had in the past, no wrestling will be allowed. Anyone found with a weapon or caught wrestling will be removed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: When will the resist session start?
A: Some time on Friday morning. Several O^S members will be putting their characters in to cast and all of us are from different time zones. We have jobs, children, spouses. We'll start casting whenever we're able to. I don't have an exact time. Don't ask.

Q: When will the guard be set up?
A: I will ask Telamon to set up the guard on Thursday. I don't have an exact time. Don't ask.

Q: I am "young". How do I participate?
A: Type [young in-game and toggle your young status off. You may then leave Ocllo. When the resist session is over, you may return to Ocllo and toggle your young status back on. If for some reason the system won't let you turn it back on, page a counselor for assistance.

Q: Will I be able to GM provo too?
A: We are sometimes able to provide NPC Pirates and instruments. With a decent macro, you should be able to GM provocation.

Sweet. I ll be there for sure, as nude as possible. Im from istanbul, can anyone advise when this event will start UK time on friday ? Dont wanna mess up like I did waiting for rugby world cup, game was already over.
Im on young status now, after the event can I become young again ?

.

It will start sometime in the morning, you can always go in a bit early and get rezzed and wait for casters to start. We basically just start casting as all our members wake up in the morning so no strict start time. It will go on for a number of days so don't worry about missing it.

Need/Want any Fishsteaks, Bandages, Instruments etc...

Good time to raise your music, anatomy, eval intelligence, item id, arms lore (newbie dagger), etc...

What time zone? I would like to participate but I don't think I could log on until the afternooon or evening.

I'll ask Telamon to set up the guard on Thursday and you will be able to enter and get resed any time after that. We'll have 5 or 6 casters and everyone is in a different time zone so people will fire up their casters whenever they are able to. Just come when you can, you'll be fine @LanDarr we could definitely use some bandages!

Mmmmhmm My favorite, Characters ready to go!

May not be much, but I've got 10k bandages to donate. How do you want me to deliver them?

@DrFunke pm me in irc (Avery) and I'll meet up with you.

Thanks to @Zaphian and @LanDarr for the bandage donation!!!

I went in as a ghost but didn't get a rez, not sure what to do?

The rezzer inside is spamming instructions for you. Follow them.

I did... It said to stand in the square and I'm standing in the square.

It says ADJACENT square.

Adjacent to what? I tried standing in the square in the middle of the room where everyone else is, and on the one tile outside that that's not blocked off. Where else is there?

The healing skill has a 1 tile range. So adjacent would mean within 1 tile of the rezzer, aka the guy shouting the instructions. Then you need to wait there in war mode patiently.

yeah i waited there a few minutes cursing the bot until i realised i wasnt in war mode.

lol, yeah -- same.

Thank you to @Lan Ji and @Zyler for the bandage donation!!! There's one other person who donated bandages whose name I forgot. Thank you so much!! Pm me so that I can post your name.
