What is an injury?
By Ector of Ithnim

What is an Injury? O, dear reader! Everytime you participate in a quest - or in certain chapters - you risk being "injured." If that is what happens to you, you will recieve a PM from an admin, informing you, and 5 XP Tokens will be deducted from you, and 5 more everday from then on, until you eventually head to the Infirmory and have Carry patch you up. It's that simple!

Ector's Guide to Disease

A Guide to Disease
By Ector of Ithnium

Disease, my friends, is a dreadful thing. Unfortunately, it is far too common in our society, and in Rokane! How does disease work? How is it cured? What kinds of diseases can I get here in Rokane? All of these are questions I will cover in this guide...

So how does one catch a disease in Rokane? you may wonder. Well, if you don't already check the homepage everytime you play, you might want to start. It isn't just for newbies and statistics. It also features one very important column: Ulaud the Bard. Ulaud will give you the in-game news for players of RoR. Not only will he warn you if any diseases are out and about, but he can give you all sorts of juicy gossip!

Now when Ulaud tells you about diseases going around, he is very specific. He will tell you the DISEASE NAME, and the FREQUENCY of the disease. There are four different levels of frequency a disease can have.

Minor outbreak - 1 person has been infected (although it may spread)Major outbreak - A few people have been infected (it may spread to more)
Huge outbreak - Several people have been infected (may spread to even more yetPlague - The majority of the players have been infected (may spread)

Some diseases are contagious, and some are not. The disease list in this guide will tell you which diseases are and which aren't.

How does one get a disease? If a disease arrives, certain people will be chosen at random and infected. They will also be notified that they are infected via PM.

How does one stop a disease? If you're infected, head for Gordik's Pharmacy A.S.A.P. and purchase the appropriate medicine for your disease. The medicine you must buy will be listed in a disease's stats.

What happens if I'm infected? For every day you're infected and fail to cure yourself, you lose () XP Tokens. For each disease, () is different, so look at a disease's stats to see what () is for it.

What does it mean if a disease is infectious/contagious? If a disease is infectious, and the person(s) with it fail to cure it, more people will get it, and more and more, until it either passes, or people start curing themselves.

Note: If one of the slots following "medicine:" has a [P] before it, this simply means that the medicine is a potion, and must be purchased from Wizard Willy, rather than from the pharmacy.

CONTEST - The Grand Archery Contest

from Oldshy on 11/12/2013 09:08 AM

Hear ye, hear ye! The good king Tristanthimun has called an Archery Contest on right here in Ithnium, to see whom will inherrite the XP Tokens left to him from his deceased mother. He does not want the money, as he already has much for himself, but he would like to give it to the best archer in Ithnium!

He doesn't want it for himself? Ha! That doth not sound like King Tristan to me.

Oh, he does this sort of thing every now and then to banish even the slightest thought that he is greedy, selfish, or flawed in any way at all.

Meh. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em. I'm entering.

Say, ranger, you should enter the contest too! You're a great shot!

Will you?

:ash: Once you finish, take a pic or screenshot of your "Game Over" screen and score, with your USERNAME inside the name box. Stick that picture into a reply to this thread, and you've entered! The person with the highest score will get the XP Tokens, of which there are 70.

Bren Likes Checkers - Who Knew?

from Oldshy on 11/12/2013 08:17 AM

Say, have you ever played a game called Alquerques?

In the future, Alquerques will be known as Checkers!

If you know how to play, I'd love to play you some time. There might be even a few XP Tokens in it for yah.

Bren leaves.

...


...


...

OKAY I CAN'T TAKE IT! I WANNA PLAY ALQUERQUES RIGHT NOW!!!

Bren tosses 10 XP Tokens onto the table.

If you win, they're yours! To show me you won, take a pic or screenshot of your winning screen, and PM it to me or any admin. Title it: "Checkers Win". Now let's play some Alquerques!

Jousting Tournament

from Oldshy on 11/12/2013 07:58 AM

It's the day of the big jousting tournament. You went with your friends Bren, Sam and Carrylum.

This is so exiting, eh?

I'll say! I've never been to one of these before?

What!!?? And just why not, Sam???

I don't know.

Yes, this is quite fun, but so far all we've seen compete is other kingdoms. I want to see Rokane!

It seems that Ash, as he passed by, overheard her...

Oh, we aren't going, Miss.

What???

Are yah kiddin' me!!??

That can't be!

I'm sorry. Our knight hurt his shoulder on the way here; he can't compete. So unless one of you wants to compete, I wouldn't complain.

Your friends exchange glances. At last, you stand, and tell Ash you wish to compete.

You do??? Have you ever jousted before??? Fine! I'll tell the King at once! He will be pleased to hear this!

Ash runs off.

Alright, what have you just gotten yourself into, ranger??

They go pretty hard out there, you know...

As you suit up and hop aboard your horse, you see your first competetor. He's beefy and brutish. Bren is calling to you from the stands...

Tell you what! For every person you defeat in this tournament, I'll give 10 XP Tokens! When the game ends, take a picture or screenshot of the end screen, and PM it to me or any admin. Title it: "Jousting Tournament" and be sure to include the picture in the message. Right then! You're up!

A Secret Mission

from Oldshy on 11/12/2013 05:27 AM

Ash shoves you through two doors into a large room. It's the King's Thrown room!

 Here you are, Sire! Is this the one you wanted?

Yes, thank yoy, Ash, Dismissed.

Ash leaves...King Tristan turns to you.

 Hello there, ranger. I need an undercover mission done for me, and I think that you can help me with it.

A memory flashes through your head...something Derrik once said...

Rangers don't work under the king, or the law! We don't do what we do for money, we do it to help people!

You tell King Tristan that you refuse.

:tristan: O, please consider. There would be 50 XP Tokens in it for you. All you have to do is break into a kingdom and steal something for me. Are you up for it?

Are you?

:tristan: Simply play the game below. If you break the high score, take a picture or screenshot, and PM it to me or any admin, with the title of "Run Run Ran High Score", and you will get 50 XP Tokens! Give it a shot!

The Woodcutter

from Oldshy on 11/12/2013 05:17 AM

It feels like recently, people don't seem to know how to cut wood! Well, not meaning to brag or anything, but I've been cutting wood for 17 years, so I'm quite amazing at it. Here, let me give ya'll some pointers.

You can cut a piece of wood into 17 pieces with only 5 cuts! Don't believe me? Think you could do even better? Well, here's a challenge for you! If somebody can BEAT EVERY LEVEL OF THIS GAME, then they can get 300 XP Tokens!!! So that I believe you, you have to screen-record the entire thing. PM me or any admin, with the title: "Woodcutter". In the message, include your video of you beating the game! Here is the game:

 

Good luck!
