This is a roleplay event experiment inspired by this idea from UtM: http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=30209.0
Thanks for letting me use your idea, UtM :) The setting will be as described in this post: ]

Events will be held in Jardet’s Secret Garden in East Hydlaa.
You are asked to enter orderly, and take your places based on the chart below.

The area marked ‘A’ is for observers. Please find a good spot and have a seat.
The area marked ‘B’ is for those who wish to perform. Stand there until you are called, please.
The area marked ‘C’ is for the actual performances. When you are called, move here and give us a good show.
When done, you will be asked to join the others seated in area ‘A’ until the end of the Event.

[[OOC rules: If you are able to, I ask that you please pre-write your stories/poems/songs in shortcuts. You can do this ingame, or write it in your word proccessor of choice, and copy/paste into the shortcutcommands XML file. Easy way to do this is to go ingame, and create your shortcuts, such as Story 1, Story 2, and so on, but only write /say TEXT1, /say TEXT2 and so on in the shortcut. Save and close PS, then open shortcutcommands XML. Copy your story parts, and paste them where it says TEXT1, TEXT2, etc (don't forget to erase the word TEXT). Only one paragraph per shortcut, please. And don't forget to /me emotes to set the mood of your story or song (you do not have to shortcut that)! [...]]]

[Another double post, I know, but this should be seperate.
It might look like a one man show, but it wasn't. Neither IC, nor OOC.

I big big thanks to the following players (alphabetically, and hopefully complete):
Aiwendil
Arerano
Illysia
Jaycol
Jonoth
Kaisa
Lhaa
Morla
Sheneer
UtM
Yadili
Especially Aiwendil and Lhaa took a heavy load of my shoulders. A big extra thanks to both of you :D
Also thanks to the GMs (Vonor and Kerol) for helping with the posters.] :)
