site event The Running of the Leaves (2025) OOC/Sign Up

[Dynamo Pad 11,749]

Hey, everypony! This is your Events Lead, Dynamo Pad, wanting to wish you a lovely Summer, as well as a wonderful August!

IC:

With the start of the Fall season, it's time to kick things off to a roaring start! That's right! With Summer behind us and Fall in front of us, the time has come to knock down some more leaves! And what better way to start the Fall season than to have ourselves another classic tradition of The Running of the Leaves! The time has come once more to sign yourself up if you wish to take part in this exhilarating race! Challenging, exciting, and memorable times are sure to be had! Also, fun! Can't forget about fun! Did I mention the word fun? If not, then fun should be mentioned once more as one can never have too much fun! And... huh, what is this? Unscheduled rain clouds? I hope it won't be raining... Ahem, anyway, if you wish to take part, then please make sure to sign up in the thread below, or you can send myself, Dynamo Pad, a DM saying that you'd like to participate! I hope to see you all once more in the race!

OOC Detail:

The time has come to stretch your legs, get on your marks, get set, and go! To the races, after all! This event will be RP-based, but this time, it won't be about speed or luck. Instead, your goal will be to knock down as many leaves as you can, as you head to the finish line! Challenging challenges, potentially treacherous obstacles, and fun shenanigans might be in your way, but it's up to your courage, creativity, and cleverness on how well you do!

Please send me a DM or comment in the thread below if you wish to participate!

Deadline: This event will begin on September 1st and shall continue all throughout the month and into October.

Rules: No dice will be required when taking part in this event. Instead, it all comes down to your creativity and roleplaying skills! Leaves serve as points, and you get them for being active, and overcoming challenges in funny, creative, and interesting ways. Using new ideas to get through obstacles gives more points than reusing previously known methods, and experiencing difficulties gives more points than beating obstacles too easily. This year, it's not about being the first on the finish line, so focus on having fun!

While a race can bring out the competitive spirit in us all, please don't ever forget to always be kind and courteous to your fellow friends! It's always great to make friends and to get to know said fellow friends throughout the competitions. Last, but certainly not least, never forget to always have fun!

What is this?: A Prompt for Roleplaying, engagement and fun!

Any other questions: Feel free to send me a DM

Who may apply?: Any and all are more than welcome to take part!

In the end, it's all about having fun, making friends and putting your best hoof forward when it comes to taking part in the race! Especially when there might be some surprises in store!

I look forward to seeing everyone taking part!

 

 

Your friend,
Dynamo Pad

Oh wow this looks fun! I'm new, so never participated in this or any other event for that matter before. So no idea what this particular event was like in previous years. Regardless, it looks fun! So if I may I'd like to participate too. I just don't know if I can be super active since I do have a job, but I'll try to post when I can. Also I've never rped using dice before, so not sure how that works. Sorry about being such a noob!

Hey, @Nook Cranny! 

Thank you so much for taking interest in this!  

There's a thread of the previous Running of the Leaves if you ever want a reference of how the RP had gone. This year will be a bit different as leaves will be knocked down by you and the other users that will be taking place in the event. However, dice will not be used this time as leaves will be knocked down in a different way. You'll see when the time comes, so no need to worry on the dice. I completely understand when it comes to being busy, so trying to post when you can and trying to catch up is okay. It's all about working together, communication and having fun.

It's okay and no need to apologize. I don't think you're a noob as it's always good to ask questions. I hope my response was able to help and if you have any other questions, never be afraid to post them here or in a DM.

I almost forgot to ask. Do you have an OC that you'd like to submit for the Running of the Leaves?

Aw thank you for the welcome and the support. As for an oc. I do have a couple I just don't know which one to choose. Is there a limit on how many or...? I'll have to think about who to pick. It's just I love all my ocs and like them all to have a chance to shine and develop.

Never participated in this before. So this is my first time here. It looks fun. 
I have 12 OCs, but I have absolutely no idea who to choose. 

[Samurai Equine 55,444]

Is it really that time of year again? 

But I am not sure which of my OCs should participate this time. Samurai or Trilby? Hmm...

Moonlight is ready! 

@Wizard, where are you?

I also never participated in a roleplay event before, but I really look forward to entering one. Is it okay if I use Dupluna, my oc?

*Suddenly a portal opens and a pony jumps out.
"The Running of the Leaves again! I'll be taking part in this."
*Anarchylight walks up to the Dynamo Pad.
"Hi @Dynamo Pad! I'd like to take part in this and I have a question. Can I invite my friend here to take part in this too?"

OOC:
Can I use two OCs in this event?

Ooooh this sounds interesting! 

I may or may not be able to make it, depending on how time consuming it is. I am going to be away in September for a while after finishing up on some things here. (last minute tweaks) but if I may be able to sprinkle a post here and there then that will be easier.  Last event I was not even able to finish it at all. So, best not to apply if I'm not able to complete it again. We shall see!
