Please take a moment while it is fresh in your mind to contribute to this year’s Ebon Gate Album. The merchant who went out of their way, the kind person who paid for the entire room. That roleplayed encounter you will never forget. The special item you picked up that is to RAVE over. Someone who was sweet, helpful, or impressed you! Add it to the scrapbook quickly from this web page: http://bit.ly/2JouBVA View Last year’s Album at: http://bit.ly/2OR1D0o

EBON GATE
How many services did you receive at Ebon Gate? Keep track of the tally with the command: QUEST MERCHANT EBON Remember that embeddings will probably count each one you have done. This late-breaking tip for Ebon Gate provided by Bakira. Thanks!

ROLEPLAY
Brave Sir Wonkus would like to remind you that the ROLEPLAY NOMINATE verb exists. Give the great RPers an incentive to keep being great. It costs nothing and gives recognition to those who have it coming! Remember to use it EARLY in your encounter, so the GM responding to it can witness and reward it!

EBON GATE 2020
Dread Lord Wyrom makes a post at the Officials, and I quote him: “…we will likely be making some sweeping changes to Ebon Gate in 2020…expect revamping to the majority of gaming activities, length of time of the active portions of the event, and changes to what all goes into our feeders.” He’s been listening to our feedback as the festival has progressed. http://bit.ly/32Labhe

EBON GATE TIP
Remember to MARK your new purchases from the Festival and REGISTER them in the unlikely event of Ghezresh Eating GemStone again. REGISTER it every time you get something done to it, whether it be unlocking, lightening, deepening, or altering. If you need a GM to find it, it might also be a good idea to be able to describe it…

REPOspotlight
There’s a very nice new script on the repo, ;signature that adapted signature verbs and swears so that anyone can use them with ACT (including the special targeting syntax of ACT). Check out ;signature list while you’re waiting in line — or just ;signa lipchew What a BRILLIANT way to pass the time roleplaying while you are waiting patiently for a merchant. ;repository download signature

EBON GATE
Treasure Trove Cheat Sheet: HELP is a Trove room command, not on a sign. You need an active game pass to play. The Shelf has current item. The Tray has next items.
