Updates

Well, we're getting the layout up slowly, but surely. Welcome to our newest players: Tink and Bristol! Please remember the contests that are going on so you can get some FABULOUS prizes. Also, take a look at both your avatar and your herd page to check for strikethroughs. If we have your character marked with a strikethrough, that means you have either put that char on hold, or we didn't hear back from you at the activity check and need to know if you are still with us. Also, the PAPRU will resume on MONDAY (tomorrow) so please check back to make sure that you don't get left out of the fun!

Contest/General Reminders/Foals

Yay for a new layout! Please bear with the "dust" as we continue moving the boards over to our snazzy new blue layout.

Okay everyone, we are now holding a contest! There are three parts involved. First, we are asking for people to make an advertisement for us. You must make sure to abide by copyright rules, and can use the text that we are currently using (the Arabian Nights story) or make up your own text. We need ads for both HTML and Proboards, and the best ad in both categories will get +1 defense point to the character of their choice!

The second part of this contest also involves advertising. Whoever can advertise in the most places in the before February 1 will get +2 defense points to the character of their choice! MAKE SURE TO FOLLOW ALL ADVERTISING RULES POSTED ON THE SITES YOU ARE ADVERTISING ON! Links must be provided for each site, and please try to only post your sites that you’ve visited once per day.

Finally, we are having a recruit-a-friend contest. For each one of you that brings in a new person, we will award +1 defense point for a maximum of +2 defense points per character. So if you bring 3 friends, we’ll give you 3 points to scatter amongst your characters. Please note, your friends must play actively for at least 1 month before we award these points. One simple way to recruit people is to make sure when you post your ads to say "Shannon referred me" etc so they know to give you credit for the recruitment when joining. THE FIRST TWO CONTESTS WILL END ON FEBRUARY 1ST. ALL ENTRIES MUST BE IN BEFORE THEN TO BE CONSIDERED. The recruit-a-friend event will go on until March 1st.

In general news - Please remember to respond to the activity check! Okay so it’s a bit late but I posted up the foal stats on the breeding board and on your territory boards. Register your foal names on the ooc board as soon as possible to make sure they get added to our database. Also, stallions need to turn in herd stats that are up to date asap. Finally, new award pictures are up on the Featured page.

Welcome Back/Foals/PAPRU/Awards

Welcome to Haru - we’re really glad to have new people joining us! Well guys, its been a long stretch of inactivity for everyone, due to holidays, family issues, and school work - but things are getting back into order. To all of you who have stayed with us despite everyone’s real-life issues, thanks… and we’ll do our best to get back in the swing of things as quickly as possible. So, we will be conducting a mandatory activity check on the OOC board. Failure to respond within 1 week (by 26-Jan) will result in your mares being let go and your herd/positions lost.

PAPRU will resume for the final rounds once we have heard back who is active or not. Since the deadline was only responded to by one, I will continue the PAPRU with all remaining contestants that replied in a reasonable amount of time.

Foals are due tomorrow. Individual stats will be posted on both the breeding board and the respective territories of the herd. Congrats to everyone expecting and hopefully the arrival of your foals will breathe some life into things. Please respond to the OOC foal names thread with both stats and names to have your foals added to our names directory.

And finally, our MOTM and COTM (though late) are - KittyKat for Member of the Month, and Nightfyre for Character of the Month! Congrats and keep up the good work.

Looking forward to renewed success -

New awards/MOTM, COTM

Welcome to Flutterby! We’re really glad to have you. Well guys, congrats on over 100 characters! Great job and keep up the activity. I know that people are getting REALLY busy because of the holidays, but as winter break is quickly approaching, I’m sure we’ll all be much more active.

So guys, the reason I haven’t been around over the last few weeks… my grandpa had a procedure where they had to stop his heart and “reset” it… and the procedure went okay but he ended up having a heart attack that night and so we’ve been in and out of the hospital. To make matters busier, last week was finals week and… I graduate with my bachelors from UNLV on Tuesday, and my movers came on Friday and took all my furniture (including my computer) because I will be moving to Virginia on the 22nd. Anyway, exciting news, and Grandpa pulled through so he’s going to be fine, but that should at least give you some insight into my busy life right now :)

Ok so new news… as you see, the member of the month is Edo, and the character of the month is Kitty played by Kanina. Read more about them on the “Featured” page. Also, since we’ve been open 3 months now its time for our “quarterly” awards. These awards are only given every 3 months so its extra special when you get one.

First, Massie (Fading Darkness, Mahla, Dark Rose, Fatal Goodbye, Nightwish, The Tide) receives the Most Improved award! Eileen (Ember, Falyn) receives our Best Advanced RP award. Domino/Nestle get the Best Layout award for the matching layouts for Roswell and Rhyder. And finally, Edo gets the Best Personalization award for the picture she made for Fading Darkness.

If you want to read more about them and to see the spangly picture awards, you can either view “Featured” or “Awards”. We take nominations for all awards, so if you know someone that you think should receive one, please send me an email and let me know!

PAPRU will be up tomorrow so please make sure to check it as you will have only 10 hours to reply. Happy Roleplay,

Holidays and the continuation of PAPRU

Welcome back Amanda, and welcome to Ryzka! I am glad to see everyone is still doing well and wanted to just drop a quick couple of notes. First, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and I hope you all ate a lot of turkey! Note to all: please remember especially over the next month that a lot of people will be coming and going because of travel and holidays. I am sure most people do not want to get inactive but real life seems to really kick everyone's butt this time of year. Good luck to everyone for finals also.

In another note, I am going to be moving at the end of the month, so I will probably be gone during the week of Christmas and the week after, simply because I do not have internet. Sorry for keeping to stray from you guys & remember that I love you all! But anyway, PAPRU is up, and remember foals are due soon!

PAPRU Round 3 and the return of the Cause

Well guys, 15 horses out of the original 30 remain in the PAPRU. Round 3 has now been posted. Special note: we will be putting the PAPRU on hold for Thursday and Friday, Nov 27-28 because of Thanksgiving. Please note the deadlines, and I should probably let you guys know - I will be leaving the country for the next week for vacation in fabulous Cancun MX, but i should have Internet access... so the PAPRU will still go on, and I will still try to post but heck, I'm on vacation, so they might be a bit slower to come (can you blame me :p)

In other news, the Cause has started once more! This time, it is headed by Shirahime Syo, played by the fabulous Edo. Unlike other versions, in this version, the Cause will claim a land so you can challenge for their land, and Syo has decided on Rose Meadows in the North. For those of you that don't know what the Cause is, it is a band of rebel mares, with no stallion, led by none other than an Alpha mare. This mare cannot be challenged for her position, just like a stallion... she will fight like a stallion, claim like a stallion, and is a MAIN character.

For more questions, please ask one of us on the Ask Shadow board.

PAPRU Round 2

Welcome to Lilkitty and her mare Dead. We are very glad to have you! Well everyone, its that time again. The PAPRU is now on Round 2. Please check out the results to Round 1 and make your decisions for Round 2 if you are able to continue on. If you have been captured, follow all instructions for going to the Ranch. For those of you in Round two, you have 36 hours to make your decisions (thats right, the times are getting shorter)

Finally, we have two new deputy admins. Though Terris, Sez, and I do our best, we cannot always run everything alone. Big news for me... I will be moving at the end of Dec and might be without internet for about 2 weeks, so its the perfect time to get a few more hands on board. Edo and Eileen are the Deputy Admins, and they need to be listened to and treated with respect. As with all of our admins, both will be fair and will not give preference to any player over another.

Happy playing,

- Shannon [Admin]

Games Room

Welcome Nala to Arabian Nights! Please note, today is the last day to join into the PAPRU on the Haven board. You have until Midnight PST to post, and round 2 will be up tomorrow. Also, I wanted to make you all aware of a new feature. We have now created an arcade/game room that you can play games on if you get bored. It is under the Other section on the menu.

Keep up the activity,

PAPRU

First of all, welcome back to Eileen, we are glad to see you once more! Welcome also to our newest faces: KittyKat, Legion, and Cydielle. We love to see new faces and hope that you enjoy our game as much as we do.

So big news: our first PAPRU has begun! To start the PAPRU, please see the thread in the Haven. You have until midnight on Wed, Nov 19 to post if you want to participate. Please remember that you do not have to participate but the winner will get some fabulous prizes.

We have provided a walk through under Tutorials on the Other section, that explains how the PAPRU works. If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask on the Ask Shadow board and we will get back to you very soon.

Also, Sedona is currently working on a new layout for Version V. It will likely be put up piece by piece, but if for some reason the page disappears for a few days, do not be alarmed.

Happy role playing,

Contacts List/Activity Check, and other news

Welcome Thindle and Epona to Arabian Nights! As far as news goes: I just wanted to let you all know a few things. First, we now have a member database. If you would like to add yourself, please follow the link on ooc to the member contacts page, or you can click HERE. Please remember, this is not mandatory.

Second, we will be performing an activity check on the ooc board for the next week. If you do not respond, your chars will be marked as inactive, and one month later, we will remove them from our roster entirely. All horses marked as inactive after the activity check will be removed from herds/lands.

Third, we have a poll up regarding new territories on ooc... make sure to vote, as your voice will make a difference.

Fourth(ly?), the PAPRU is coming! Keep watching our news/weather ticker for the date. This event is open to all, and will be held on the Haven board.

If you wish to breed, please read the rules, and remember that breeding is only allowed until November 14th. Please keep watch on the weather ticker above. Foals for this season will be born mid January... I will post the stats on the foaling board once they are born.

Happy Halloween!!

Welcome to Sable and Tipsy! Its great to see both new and familiar faces. Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Halloween, and thank you all for being active. I will be out of town this weekend because I am a coach at a local high school and we are taking a trip, which should be fun, but it means Mr. Terris is in charge. Please be nice and play well with others. Until then,

- Shannon [Admin]

New fighting method

First of all, welcome back to Glory Be, and Amanda/Eileen/Tipsy... we see you lurking and hope you join us soon! Welcome also to Becki, Meachy, Krissy, and KeeBee. We love getting new people and hope that you find our game as fun as we do. In other news, we have a new way of doing fighting. Please be sure that you read and are familiar with the battle guide. It is linked up on the fight board or you can click HERE. If you have questions, please ask either Terris or me OOC. Also, if you have a nominee for MoTM or HoTM, please send them over. Glad to have you all, and keep up the activity!

Updates and Member/Character of the Month!

Welcome to Hallaloth and her mare Tainted Soul... we're really glad to have new people :D I'm sorry I haven't been around much this week, and regret having to go on "official absense" until Sunday the 26th. My boyfriend's parents are here now, and we're so busy I can barely think. Please don't take that to mean that I don't love you all though :) I have updated all herd stats, and the main page. If you need changes, please post to me ooc. Also, we now have our first member of the month, for October (yeah i know its half over but...) Congrats to Milo! We'll get a little blurb up about you soon, but thanks for your continued activity and dedication :) And our character of the month is... Heart of Stone! Read more about Stone on the "About Mains" page.

Silver Shadow Studios

Again we have new faces, and one familiar one... welcome back to Edo and a very special welcome to Massie and Milo! In other news, Silver Shadow Studios is now open! Check us out, and if you've got some picture skills or wanna learn, we'd love to have ya :) http://silvershadowsstudio.proboards.com is the link. So I might be a bit sporadic post wise over the next week because my boyfriend's parents are coming to stay with us. I will be on to do updates though :)

Also, if each person could advertise at about 5 sites, that'd be great! Keep up the activity, and welcome all!

- Shannon [Admin]

Growing!

Welcome to our newest players, Kanina and GS! We're growing quickly guys, and with everyone's continued support its gonna be awesome! I'm doing character database updates, and wanted to let you all know that work is underway for Silver Shadow Studios! We will be turning this into a studio/academy for photomanipulation. More news coming soon!

Ad-Free

Ok...-so I've been so excited about the opening of AN that its been first on my mind all week... which was made obvious today. I left work at noon to head down to the college and didn't realize it until I'd gotten there - but instead of driving to school I drove home. So I had to get back on a different freeway and go a whole new way to school, missed my exit again. And once I got there class was cancelled -- needless to say, I was somewhat miffed but the entire situation was somewhat comical.

Anyway. Welcome, welcome, welcome! I'm glad to see that Terris, Terry, and Ashlen have returned to us, and a special welcome to Nestle and Domino. I'm sure you guys will fit in great here :)

Big-ish news. AN is going ad-free. Well, not completely ad-free, but by Friday we should have all ads gone from the following boards: Mares Acres, Stallion Acres, The Haven, Challenging, Stealing and OOC. Since these are the boards with the most traffic, I thought it'd be appropriate. The MA board is already done, and will remain ad-free until we get 5,000 hits. Lets go ahead and make that our goal! Also, I've been advertising and will be at about 200 sites done by tonight. If you guys know people that might be interested, please spread the word!

Happy role playing,

- Shannon [Admin]

Sunday, October 12, 2008 9:00 PM
The Re-Opening

Welcome everyone to the brand new Arabian Nights, version IV. You will see that many things have changed, the most obvious being our great new layout. You will need to have javascript and Active X enabled. I am currently in the processing of debugging so please let me know on either the help board or the OOC board with any feedback problems.

I look forward to working with you all very soon!
