Quarry's Run and Friends bring you: A Starlight Respite! 12/21/15 8 PM EST! - MBajihri - 12-11-2015

((Please note this will be being updated fairly often and is going to be a good placeholder as we solidify how this event will run!))

Hello everyone! With the Starlight season fast approaching, us here at Quarry's Run with the help of a few free companies are going to be hosting a Starlight celebration for all to attend and enjoy! There will be a fair number of festivities to enjoy at the celebration, such as a storytelling circle, a gift exchange, and more, as well as an overall dress theme of Starlight attire or otherwise wintry colors! 

This event will be held at the Dread Wyrms' mansion, located at The Goblet, Ward 7 Plot 13 at 8 PM EST! A big thanks to them for their involvement and participation in helping this event as well as lending the mansion for the night!

Current list of festivities to be held at the Starlight Respite below:


A Gift Exchange: Participants will be paired up with another random participant to exchange gifts! In an attempt to keep the average price value of gifts around the same value, try to purchase a gift for another with a maximum value of 75,000 gil. You're welcome to go above and beyond if you truly want to dazzle a random stranger, of course, but a 75,000 ceiling is one that's easy to reach, and a lot of nice crafted items around that value have materials that are easy to gather! We'll be putting up a word doc with participants' names to help organize and match! To note, we will be pairing people up as they arrive at the Celebration!


A Story Circle: What better to help accentuate the feel of the Starlight season than to share stories with friend and stranger alike around a warm fire? Hot cocoa is sure to be served on-site, and with some luck the weather may even be a little snowy! Stories are recommended to be on the shorter end to give every interested individual a chance!


Tree Decorations: To add a little creative flair alongside the story circle, afterward any interested individual will be welcome to add their own ornament onto the Starlight Tree! It can be anything you'd like, be it something to represent a Free Company, a character, or just something you find really neat!


A Starlight Photobooth: The idea was suggested to me by Crescent, the entertainment company! This would be headed by them and would be active throughout festivities! They'd also have members going about to capture pictures of the event as it happens!

A Costume Stage: Edited as a request to The Dread Wyrms, this will actually serve as a little costume contest! There will be three judges and a few means of being graded! ''Best Costume'', ''Most Original / Runner Up'' and ''Most Humorous''. There is no limit to how many can sign up as a group for this! The Dread Wyrms are also offering prizes for the winners of this fun contest! For more details, /tell Raih Unaze!

(AND MORE TO COME SOON! Feel free to post here, PM or find me in-game if you have suggestions, comments, compliments, etc!)

Well, I did tell Mhaya I was posting on this thread.

I didn't say what, though.

Mhaya's awesome. That is all.

We're still working out the perfect venue for this event! We want to rent out a mansion for the day. Location will be included as soon as I can get one for the day!

One of the DREAD crew myself and though I've already signed on their calendar, I figured I'd throw a post here for you lot as well. If you need a volunteer for anything you need covered, you're more than welcome to give me a poke in the ribs. Not a picky fellow and I'm glad to lend my hand for whatever you might need a hand with.

Looking forward to having you all there!

Our mansion is located in the Goblet Ward 7, Plot 13. We'll be decorating over the weekend so it's ready for the festivity.

Bumpage! We're looking to make the event even better! Any suggestions? Hit up Mhaya or Raih from 'The Dread Wyrms', or post here!

Nef would be down for some eggnog drinking games.. but sadly I probably won't be able to be ingame as I'll be driving all day. >_<

I'd suggest things that encourage interactions between players. 

too bad FFXIV doesn't have ugly xmas sweaters.

I just ate a really good dinner so I'm really sleepy, and thus am having trouble thinking. Any suggestions for good interactive things? I'd love to hear some and implement them!

Hrm.. some things I've seen some folks do are things like competitions, I heard one group is doing a scavenger hunt (maybe group 2-4 people and they have to figure out the clues together), a dance off (could be tricky since some dances are quest/seasonal rewards and not everyone might have them), I could probably come up with some others but the rules would be a bit complicated and I probably wouldn't have them done intime. I dunno why but something like gingerbread house making or bringing an artistic dish. very subjective as it would just be an emote-off.
