Basics
Toss what you know of bowling out the window.
Each dice roll is a game (not a turn, frame, etc).
There is no defined number of pins or frames.
How to Play
Roll one 1000-sided die per day.
The number rolled is your score.
You have a chance of winning each day that you roll.
The more you roll, the higher your chance of winning a title prize.
Rules
Use the form below and only ping/PM when directed.
Be careful of editing posts as it changes your dice roll.

Goodie Bag
Some prizes (check the Scoreboard post) let you grab from the Goodie Bag!
I will inform players when they have won a grab and prompt them to pick.

Each day a local dead head will bowl a game (using themselves as the ball).
They will share their score here and challenge you to bowl the closest to it.
You can only bowl once every 24 hours. The player whose score is closest
to the Daily Dead Head score wins a prize, so there is always a winner!

Yo, DJ Delilah coming to you live from the baddest place to be; the Underground!
I'll be providing tunes during the party. Here's a little something from me to you.
I got the honor of kickin' this off, I ain't going to waste it.
I'm gonna smash the pins to dust so fine you'll taste it.
And when I've rocked and I've rolled, I'll own the top score.
Trick-or-Trick you say? I say let's see you kill it more.

Hello humans, I am Queen Nefertari. I haven't had a proper sacrifice since
I died and that is not acceptable. Wouldn't you like to die in my honor?
As a dead head I gain no power but the ceremony is pretty. The blood too.
No? I suppose that's for the best. I did promise Dez that I wouldn't seduce
his guests into giving up their lives for me. Though I must say, I am so worth it.
Why don't we play a game? Try and match my effortless grace on the lanes!
Nefertari's Score: 872

What's up, Finn is my name and smooth is my game. I won three champion
medals for swimming back when I had a body. Now I hold the record as the
fastest floating head in the ghost division. What can I say, I've got skills.
I keep telling Dez that he needs to get this pool fixed up, but he says the hot tub
is good enough. I love sports and I'm always itching for some good competition.
What, you didn't know ghosts could bowl? Put your game face on and let's go!
Finn's Score: 565

Greetings traveler. You have come seeking riches and glory, the spirits told me so.
You do not walk this path alone. Many have descended into the Underground with
the desire to leave with more than they came with. The fates are at play tonight!
Come, let Madame Aria see what your future holds. Hmm, yes...the Cornucopia,
the Goddesses, the Scales, and- Oh dear. Your final card is the Chimera. Sorry
dear, that means it is your destiny to lose to me. May the Star Eater guide me!
Madame Aria's Score: 231

Day #5

"Possible volcanic activity beneath the caves, toxic spring at entrance could be
an affect of the strong supernatural presence." Excuse me, would you say that it's
hot in here? No ladies, that is not a pick up line. I'm researching the Underground.
Dr Luca Vistello, retired Pyrologist and practicing Fire Mage. I used to teach at the
Space Academy, but I retired early so I could work on writing my novel. Dez agreed
to give me unlimited access if I helped with his bowling party. Let's get this over with.
Luca's Score: 77
*Special: If your roll contains the number 7 in any way, you'll get a bonus*
Day #6
8:00PM Eastern 11/2 - 8:00PM Eastern 11/3
Oh look Bao, a young soul has joined us. Please take a seat. I was just telling these
two brothers my story. You see, I've been the caretaker of the Mountain Temple for
many, many years. On my death bed I thought, "This is it. My work is now finished."
But something miraculous happened! The guardian spirit of the temple chose for me
to continue my work in the afterlife. I am now made of the earth and I shall gladly
remain here to protect the beauty of these mountains. Let us enjoy the peace.
Wait! What is that on the wind? Haha, the temple spirit wants me to engage you in
a merry competition. I will do as she wishes, but please, go easy on an old man, OK?
The Bao brothers will play too. It would not be polite to leave them out of the fun.

Winners also have the option to receive an art instead of an item (EI /CI replacement) , or incase of a tie, the other person in the tie gets an art.
These will take me a couple days (and probably not until after the event) But will be more along the lines of this type of quality, than my typical event freebies.
Hey Sha! I've been playing with headers for your posts, if you want them:
I can use similar fonts to what I have in my posts, but I figured I'd try something else first.
Do you like the above font? I was trying to find something artsy, but haven't had much luck~
Brainstorming post order:
1. Intro/Hosts (Aya)
2. Game/Form/Prizes (Aya)
3. Free Art for Page Prizes (Sha)
4. DDH/Team Tournament (Aya)
5. Art Prize (Sha)

The post order looks pretty good to me. I just have to figure out exactly what the art prizes will be for, since they do take me much longer cause of that darn line clean up bit.
Cool, I added a small navigation to the first post.
Welcome/Hosts (Aya)

Trying to keep it simple, I tend to over-organize sometimes lol
If you wouldn't mind making the post for the team tournament, I can provide the details for how-to-participate and you can include your information about the prize? I know it's still being discussed, I started replying to your PM and then decided to reorganize some more.
Thanks Sorry I keep getting on so late. I've been helping my sister out and haven't been getting home until 10-11PM. I will make time for this! I'm hoping to be ready before the event starts, which might very well be on Friday
The contest will run the length of the event. I will accept current or DAC avatars.

Description/Story: (Optional)
TOXIC
Strut your toxic self down the bowling alley runway!
Neon colors are cool, but toxic can be pitch black as well.
Whatever you think portrays a toxic character, situation, etc.
star2000shadow "One Brassed off witch about to make a poisoned apple. This aint no sleeping beauty witch ether."
Shadami "Neons in my favorite shades, some black, and that ever intoxicating absinthe."
dragoness129
Linnea "I'd say that being this ill makes this avatar definitely toxic!"
blueblackrose "Zenith comes from the planet Orzak."
FIEND
Trolls, the undead, boogeymen, cave dwellers, evil witches, demons!
Dress up as a creature that might live underground or in a creepy forest.
Take off in whatever direction you like; funny, scary, bloody, silly, etc.
Shadami "Deep in a dark forest is a winged and clawed creature that you don't want to face. She blends into the darkness and if you see her eyes, its probably the last thing you are going to see before the ground gains some more blood."
XoGIZMOoX I am a wolf man
star2000shadow
dragoness129
Linnea "Is this fiend a friend or foe? I dare you to be the first one to find out."
blueblackrose "Psychotic Clown."
CARAVAN
Dancers, fortune telling, bonfires, drinking, animals, the full moon!
Dress up as a person or scene you might see as part of a caravan.
Add voodoo, magic, or fairy dust with caution. Interpret as you please.
Shadami "They wanted me to read gimmicky fortunes so the tourists could have a laugh. Not because they believed in the power. My friends on the other side were not happy. Not happy at all. Neither am I. When they realize how powerful fire is... neither will they be happy."
star2000shadow "Care to have your fortune told? come on up.."
dragoness129
Linnea "I was feeling like a caravan of entertainers such as this, might have a wide variety of magical and entertaining people, but are all of them actually truly magically gifted? This made me think of one of the biggest magic frauds to ever exist. The Wizard of Oz. I bet he would even have his own luxury wagon with someone at the door to only tell them that no one gets in to see the Caravan Wizard, not no way, not no how!"
blueblackrose "This lovely lady is the embodiment of death and beauty."
