Sylent's Strip Squares of Monopoly takes place in a Warrior's Isle (RAWR GH) as it's a board game! The tiled area in front of the xunlai is where it takes place, which your character avatar as the game piece and each individual tile as a square. But watch out for the green squares - rolling odds on them sends you backwards!
All players turn on local, trade and emote chat on. Trade chat is reserved for the hosts for giving instructions. Emote chat is necessary to see your /roll.
Players assemble at the healer henchmen. The path to take is west until the end; players then turn around at the west end and head back east along the same path. The first person ro reach the healer henchman is the winner! The prize pot is donations that the hosts, players and alliance members put in - the real reward is the fun!
This event is hard to describe but easy to get the hang off if you see it!

Sylent's Strip Squares (of Monopoly) will be held at [RAWR]'s hall. You may hear us refer to it as SSS, Strip, or Monopoly; really anything that remotely relates to the name. IThese are the *basics* of the game here and go into any other needed explanations before we start the game.
To start the game, you stand in the same tile as the Healer Henchie; if you face the same direction she does, then you will be facing the right direction. In front of you will be the path of the board game!
**YOU MUST HAVE EMOTES, LOCAL, AND TRADE TURNED ON!** The host will try to announce who is up next until everyone understands the game, this will be done in trade chat. Emotes must be turned on so you can see your roll, and local needs to be turned on for some friendly taunting
To move, type " /roll 5 ". You will move forward however many tiles the dice roll says.
*If you land on a brown square, you will roll normally on your next turn, but you will move backwards if you roll an odd number on these squares.
**ANY time you roll a 1, you must remove any single piece of armor ((CAPES DO NOT COUNT!)) and dance until the beginning of your next turn. Once you lose all of your armor *when you're naked*, if you roll another 1, you must start the game over again.
At the last square of the row (A tile that looks like it has dirt on it instead looking like a normal tile), you will turn around and go back down the way you came. To play the game, just roll the dice to make it all the way to the other end of the row you started in *with the healer henchie.* (that last role to get in her square must be exactly the right number).
Before the game starts, we will take donations for those who wish to enter; anything entered into this pot will go to the winner of the game at the end of the event. I don't really expect the prizes to amount to *very* much, but this event is mainly about fun; it's not a quick way to make some gold.
Above all, don't cheat because I will be watching you, and have fun! and they really do, one person keeps track of clothes so you don't get confused, and a couple help track the moves cause of the brown square rule

Hmm I am going to modify the rules so that it's shorter. Im thinking we can start at the western end (the turn) and then head to the healer hench I'll try that out next week!

My first thought is that maybe white letters might work better
um, well if all your clothes are off, you still get one more chance but if you roll a 1 after that you're out and I don't know, maybe the roll odd on a brown square rule could be clearer? that you have to go backwards? The video just says you have to roll even to progress

Looks spiffy! That's really helpful and looks cool! Ty for making the time to make this!
U spelt Monopoly in the opening as "Manopoly"
Im ok with the black writing myself, there's enough contrast
And it's 5 pieces + extra 1, like kai said.
Hmm i wonder if we could record a real game, but that's probably too chaotic
