Events

**Events** are random occasions that happen in the player's chat box every now and then. These events are system generated and can be general events that are open for all players **server-wide** or random events that only occur for each **individual** player.

These events can either reward a player with items and cash or penalise them by lowering stats on their horses and charge them a small amount of money - each dependent on the event itself.

## Server-wide Events

These events are system generated, server-wide events that occur in the player's bottom-right chat box at random. There are several kinds of random events that provide cash payouts or a horse for winners. Cash rewards are debited straight to the player's cash on hand and horses are put straight into the player's horse list under 'Keepers'.

These events can be recognised by their bolded tag for example, **WATER BALLOON FIGHT**, before the listed details in the player's chat box:

### Water Balloon Game

The water balloon game event is a server-wide game that occurs every 2 hours. Each player is given 8 water balloons in their inventory and can go around throwing them at players. The players who are hit the most will get a cash prize. However, players are unable to aim specifically at someone unless they are the only ones in the area. Otherwise, who the water balloon hits is system generated. If the player stands in a spot alone and throws the water balloons and they hit themselves, it is not counted towards the scores.
