Flight Rising Discussion

2017:: http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/2273001#post_29288539 CLOSED to new players after the 15th of the month. Due to the fact that it is the middle of october and we have more players joining this event than ever before, I'm closing it. I get an average of 1-3 private messages a day about players reporting bad behavior to me, one such being rudeness and 'playing tricks' as their welcoming dragon slams the door and gives nothing TO ALL VISITORS and simple gains the spoils. That's NOT how we play, and the rule of giving nothing was always in the instructions for those who CAN'T give anymore because they have nothing, and those players always explained that, but instead we have players ABUSING this feature by not giving ANYTHING AT ALL. I'm also the host, which means EVERYONE comes to me, and I have a back-log of 75 private messages to give treats out to. And I have yet to send my dragon to ANY lairs at all to receive treats to then give to treaters visiting me, and we only have two weeks left. So it's time to wrap up this event and make sure everyone is able to see a decent amount of players. So this event is now closed. NO NEW PLAYERS CAN JOIN. Event still offically ends at the end of the month for players already signed up. . It is still going to go on for all of october, just not for new players after the 15th. Every prior event had presign ups and then closed to a set amount of players, sometimes even before the event started. This year I tried to keep it open, but new players don't understand so I closed it much later than all of the prior events. I've recieved support in my choice from every player so far finding out about the event issues and rule breaking. So no, I will not be passing off my host torch. If I simply host and not participate myself, I'm still getting the job done. Thank you though. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Be it a Ghost, Witch, King, whatever you desire! This dragon will be the trick-o-treater going out to visit lairs! After you’ve dressed your dragon- you must write a Story/Roleplay Prompt. (Saving this copy/pasted story in your dragons bio is a good way to keep tabs on your roleplays!). The length is completely up to you- but the far more interesting it is.. the likelier you’ll get better gifts/tricks/ responses from other users! But this is not a given! You’re trying to impress people with your little writing, so please try your best! You will then send this short story to another user via private messages, (but only if they have a trick or treat signature or notification on their clan page!) In your message, your treat-or-treating dragon must end with screaming/yelling/whispering/shouting “Trick-O-Treat” anyway at the end.[/center] [center][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=26207272] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/262073/26207272_350.png[/img] [/url][/center] [center][b]Crow Says, "What if I don't want to leave the Lair?!" [/b][/center] [center]Second pick another dragon from your lair and dress that one up too. It doesn't have to be a halloween costume- it could be whatever you’d like! This dragon will be the gift giver of the lair that greets the trick-o-treaters! This welcoming Dragon you dressed up to be the greeter must be the one featured in a written response to the visitors via a reply in your private messgaes! This can be predone and used for all- it must be the dragon going out (to the door/entrance) to visit the other dragon![/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/VbjBJf7.gif[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/VbjBJf7.gif[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/VbjBJf7.gif[/img][/center] [quote][center][i]Last year, I sent out my 'dead', Carmen!

DO NOT SPAM USERS WHO ARE NOT PLAYING. 2. [b]If you don't like a post due to it not fitting into your normal roleplay rules, do not be rude. [/b]Calmly explain that you'd rather politely decline due to a conflict of interest, say if someone is used to sharing characters//dragons or other wise 'power playing', OR if you're on a different level. THIS RULE WAS BROKEN 3 TIMES DURING THE FIRST WEEK! COME ON GUYS! 3. Players may not respond if they're uncomfortable, suddenly have no internet, are too busy with real life, are not interested, or are broke from throwing all of their gifts tot he first batch of treaters and need to store back up. THIS DOES NOT GIVE PLAYERS PERMISSION TO SIMPLY SEND OUT A DRAGON AND GET A BUNCH OF ITEMS AND NOT GIVE ANYTHING IN RETURN, IF YOU ARE SENDING OUT A TREATER, YOU NEED TO HAVE GIFTS AS A WELCOMER. I'M CONSTANTLY GETTING USERNAMES OF PLAYERS DOING THIS! [b]DON'T BE OFFENDED, Just move to the next player!

I've never heard of it before in this context and I'm really confused. And also, can I put an image link to this on the Halloween Hub? [/quote] @Satchen power play is when another player takes control of your dragon. Example: your shy or sweet dragon visits my lair, but I write that your dragon is actually evil or something. A lot of players do not like when their dragon is written about by a stranger. Yes, you may add to the halloween hub! [quote name="MurkyDepths" date=2016-09-30 05:01:39] @WrittenBadly Unrelated to the actual event, but having 'what if I don't want to leave the lair?' under crow REALLY confused me. It made me think you had to actually send the dragon to people. I could just be an idiot though. [/quote] Crow is my lairs newest and lazy queen, and though she wants to be in the event, she never wants to leave. It explains the option that you can just be a gift giver and have treaters just come to your lair instead of seeking lairs out to trick or treat, it's up to the player! [quote name="xiushangirl" date=2016-09-30 07:03:55] @WrittenBadly just incase i read something wrong this is what happens right? dress up a dragon for Halloween trade them to person above to trick o treat with send user above a role-play message then the dragon is given back and u get items [/quote] No. Dress up dragon, write a private message short story of said dragon visiting a lair owned by a person playing by also putting their picture code at the top of the message, wait for a responce which will be a roleplay short story reply of their welcoming dragon and FR items or art or some other treat attached to the message. You also dress up a different dragon and use that dragon to reply to players dragons that visit you, and attaching items to treat them with. I forget people are new to his, but it has been an event since the site was made. :) [quote name="Hinumi" date=2016-09-30 10:21:03] Wooo, first time participating! @WrittenBadly Sorry to be bothering you but im a little confused ^^U we dont celebrate too much Hallowen where i live so i can only can understand this from the movies.. My trick or treat dragon hs to go from lair to lair asking trick or treat and then, the other person, responds with their choosing? What if they choose trick? Do i have to send something to them like hmnn... -looks at her hoard- like Mangled Textile or Toridae Chew Toy? Even some bolts or bugs? [center][item=Toridae Chew Toy][item=Mangled Textile][item=Mist Slash][/center] [center]and if they choose treat they give gifts as the welcoming dragon?Or in any case, no mather what they choose, the welcoming dragon send gifts?[/center] [/quote] It's up to the player. They may not respond at all, or they may give you worthless items, or something you really want. They might give you art or brewing/coli services instead of items too. [quote name="Melounek" date=2016-09-30 10:52:56] tfw you want to join but never joined any RP in life and have no idea what to do rip [/quote] You can simply post your dragon at the top of your private trick or treat message and say, "trick or treat!" And say you're not a roleplayer and you'll get enough examples from other players to get the feel for it over the month long event! You could be the greatest roleplayer and still get junk or no responce, lol. [quote name="nappez" date=2016-10-02 09:50:30] @nappez Reserving a post in case I decide to join in later. I'd like to, but I might not have time. @WrittenBadly Quick question though, can I not go treating and just have a greeter dragon? Is that allowed? Haha I don't think I have nearly enough confidence to send random rp messages to people I barely know. (I'm not really a rper either but I might have to join in the welcoming/treating anyways.) [/quote] Yes you can, that's the bit in the first post where Crow says she doesn't want to leave the lair :) @nappez

@heavenlyEarth Glad you're happy! Hope to see you join soon!
