Hmm.... I'll be around but having taken a break from ff14 I have no idea how the group pose works. I would guess I just put in {/gpose harvestdance} , as part of a party?

Fair question - here's the basic process.

/gpose will make your character do the last pose/emote he or she did, in synch with anyone else you are nearby and partied with.

So, each person in the party would do the /harvestdance, then stop it, and then one member enters "/gpose". You will get a special cam view of the group all doing the emote at once and in synch, and if it is a dance, it will continue as it has been. You can hit your Escape key to get out of the cam view and back into normal game view, and it will not interrupt the dance.

However, be aware that the Harvest Dance covers different amounts of ground depending on your character's size. A Lalafell doing the dance moves left to right just a bit, and a Roegadyn takes up a lot of space, and may bump into nearby people.

Update!

The performance roster is now squared away, and we are 3.5 hours from showtime!

Massive, massive thanks to all who came out, audience and performers alike. We had a record number of bards, this time, and some unbelievably good acts. I can't wait to see what you can all do for next month's show.. When we reveal the theme! Stay alert for the announcement in the days to come.

For me this was a great time, the setting was all cosy and I think concentrated the feelings. Great acts, wonderful audience, awesome event.

Deffo a great night all round!  Fun was had, both in the party chat, and watching the collective performances Big Grin A big thanks to everyone who made it so enjoyable.

(Also gave me a chance to mess around with the /icam command (Fantastic command, that one!  Thank you Square Big Grin), and depth of field focal points.  Might have missed a few things while tweaking the mediator.)

This made for a rather interesting first event.  I got to make a few contacts and generally had a good time of it.  Maybe next time I'll pull a story or two out.

The stories and songs were great, and it was quite smoothly run.

I hope to see you all about.

I loved the idea of this event, and the performances I saw were so terrific! I'm sorry I had to leave early Smile

Here's the poem that I wrote for the occasion:

First Snow

When each day's new sun grows briefer and wan
The bleak evening moon, will glimmer with snow
And Crystal-like frost will shimmer with dawn
And hoarfrost will end the bright autumn show
And all will soon know, that winter is here.
And all will soon know, that winter is here.

When snow's first fall meets dim evening moonlight
Its falling, its falling, its silent, and still
And glimmers and shimmers to greatest delight
A falling, soft blanket that covers the hill.
We feel the great joy, that winter is here.
We feel the great joy, that winter is here.

Let us be ready, for bare winter freeze
Each stocked and prepared, each stocked and made ready.
An end to all playful diversion and ease.
The season is hardship, fearsome and heady.
For now we all know, that winter is here.
For now we all know, that winter is here.

'Round warm fire sitting, we come and we gather.
To share our good will, and wait for the cease,
Of this cold winter season, would that we rather,
Remember for calm - and remember for peace.
We are together, and winter is here.
We are together, and winter is here.

In its own way, it makes things more clear.
It shows us our love, and what is so dear.
There is no reason for panic nor reason for fear:
It is only the passing, the passing of time
That one true condition, of all that has been:
The dawn is the darkest, at the start of each year,
It still holds such promise, and reason for cheer.
So let us be still, the first snowfall is here.
So let us be still, the first snowfall is here.
