Since I won't be on this Saturday I'll throw this ideas into the ring.
Thieving Events! or add a dash of thieving to some events.
(Detecting Hidden, Tracking, Stealing, Trap Removal)
Keep a random Goodie in the Em Pack for a possible thieving! Have them turn it in for recognition as thief of the month or keep it for themselves. Keep an ongoing tally for bragging rights.
Monthly Chicken Battles (Chickens, Greater Chickens, Chicken Lizard, Battle Chickan Lizard)
Creature Battles within pre-determined taming limits 0-30, 50-60, 70-90, etc.
Adds a little variety and amusement to what some people will bring.
Jousting Matches, Boxing Matches
Ship Races
PvP Arena combat
Gladiator Battles with 1 weapon, 1 piece of armour, no heals
PvM Arena combat using Gm arms/Armour
Naked PvP brawls where you pick up your weapons,bandies etc.
[Character Statue should be raised in EM Hall for monthly/quarterly Champion]
Dungeon Crawls / Boss Night
Casino Night
I could go on, but ill leave room for others.
Wellcome new EM!
