Steel Wolf · **12-27-2015, 09:13 PM**

Work schedule confirms that Steel Wolf can attend!! :D Would like to add to the Oliphant if it's not too late...but otherwise, looking forward to it!

You can toss Aedan Steelweaver into the hat for Oliphant fun Cool

And sign ups are closed!

Now that numbers are finalized, I'll get a list up of the gift descriptions tomorrow!

White Oliphant Giftbox Descriptions
(Now with 100% More Audience Participation!)

Now that sign ups are closed, weâ€™ve got our list of prizes settled â€“ one of which is a Wind-up Ifrit Minion! The rest contain a variety of different items, from cute little minions worth a few hundred thousand to.. well, whatever we could find lying around.

Keep reading for a list of Gift Box Number & Descriptions that will be used in the event on Wednesday. If youâ€™re participating, please take a minute to glance through the list and strategize about which gifts youâ€™re gunning for!

And even if youâ€™re not signed up, check them out because weâ€™ve decided that, instead of yanking out gag gifts from the list to account for no-shows before we start.. Weâ€™ll be auctioning off spare, unchosen gifts to the crowd before anything is unwrapped!

(This means that even if you missed sign ups â€“ not to mention the people who donâ€™t use Tumblr/RPC and didnâ€™t know about the event to begin with â€“ youâ€™ll still have a chance to participate!)

Note: And if you need a reminder of how the game works or if you have any questions about how the auctioning will work, the rules are found here!

The Giftboxes

[ BOX ONE ]
This large box is dressed up in orange and black wrapping paper. If you pick it up and give it a shake, you can hear a faint jingling noise from inside.

[ BOX TWO ]
Something heavy is obviously inside of this flat, rectangular box wrapped up in bright pink wrapping paper and a small, subtle black bow.

[ BOX THREE ]
It looks like a child wrapped this small square gift in cutesy paper and a giant yellow bow. When shaken, it feels like something soft is inside.

[ BOX FOUR ]
The dark blue wrapping paper on this heavy, large box seems to be sporting a few water stains.

[ BOX FIVE ]
Checkered paper covers this flat, rectangular gift box. When shaken, it sounds as if something soft is inside.

[ BOX SIX ]
For such a large box, this gift is deceptively lightweight. Those who have particularly sensitive noses might find themselves sneezing with this box in hand.

[ BOX SEVEN ]
Thereâ€™s something odd about the slithering sound of movement within this large box with a green ribbon on top. Hmmm..

[ BOX EIGHT ]
The opposite of box six, this small box is deceptively heavy. It takes some effort to shake but, when you do, multiple somethings rattle around inside.

[ BOX NINE ]
This skinny box may not be very wide, but it stretches out to an impressive five fulm long with a bright green, curling bow at the top.

[ BOX TEN ]
This large box was very ornately decorated, with lavish red gift wrap and a lacey, over-the-top black bow.

[ BOX ELEVEN ]
The black bow on this gift was pulled taut in such a way that the loops are grossly disproportional to the small, round box it stops on top of.

[ BOX TWELVE ]
Something solid rests inside this medium-sized gift. When curiosity has you to lift it to your nose, you notice it has a slightly singed smell.

[ BOX THIRTEEN ]
Thereâ€™s no denying the earthy smell coming from this large square box, which is so heavy that it isnâ€™t even easily shaken.

[ BOX FOURTEEN ]
About the size of a desk of Triple Triad cards â€“ thatâ€™s the size of this unimpressively small box, wrapped in plain red paper and gold ribbon.

[ BOX FIFTEEN ]
A piece of parchment paper is tied to this small square giftbox wrapped in bright red, which reads: HANDLE WITH CARE.

[ BOX SIXTEEN ]
This giftbox looks like itâ€™s seen better days â€“ also probably the business end of someoneâ€™s boot, by the looks of the dents and ripped brown wrapping paper.

[ BOX SEVENTEEN ]
The old-fashioned floral print paper covering this large, round giftbox reminds you of something that your grandmother may have wrapped herself.

[ BOX EIGHTEEN ]
This is the largest gift on the stage, with light blue paper that feels peculiarly cold to the touch.

[ BOX NINETEEN ]
This box has a very unique shape â€“ a square base that taper upwards into a long, rectangular neck. A handwritten note on it reads: DO NOT SHAKE.

[ BOX TWENTY ]
Thereâ€™s a pleasantly sweet, comforting aroma that comes from this small rectangular box when sniffed. Something rustles around inside when shaken.

[ BOX TWENTY-ONE ]
The wrapping paper and bows in red, green, and white practically scream Starlight at you. Talk about festive!

[ BOX TWENTY-TWO ]
Tall and skinny, this box is wrapped in a lusciously deep maroon red wrapping paper.

What's this? More fun to be had? TheÂ Gold & Glory Hunterâ€™s GuildÂ wishes to extend a second invitation to all attending the Golden Gala (and all who cannot make it or who just don't enjoy the formal scene). Meet us back at the Bountiful Chest for the Golden Gala After Party! While this won't be quite as formal of an RP affair as the Gala itself, it will be a great opportunity to spend time with amazing people, sample amazing food and drink, and maybe make a bit of mischief! After all, the spirit of the season includes both naughty and nice! On top of the drinking, dancing, and games, the event of the night is a bit more relaxed but still plenty fun. We call it Matron's Mirth and it turns mistletoe into the currency of the evening! Come check it out and you could walk away with a bit of gil... or maybe something that you find even more valuable than gold!

WHEN & WHERE

[Â dateÂ ]Â December 30th, 2015 -- Wednesday
[Â start timeÂ ]Â Approximately 10:30PM EST / 9:30PM CDT / 7:30PM PDT (after party begins upon the conclusion of the White Oliphant gift exchange so beginning time may vary from the time posted here)
[Â locationÂ ]Â The Bountiful Chest -- The Goblet Ward 4 Plot 18 (just off of the Brimming Heart teleport)

FOR MORE INFORMATION

You can find more information about the after party and references for the event HERE. Suggestions for games and music are welcome throughout the night so feel free to keep an eye on the document for any updates!

We hope to have you join us for all of the Chest-ivities!

Happy hunting, merry Starlight, and a bountiful new year from your friends at Gold & Glory!

Jaliqai · **12-30-2015, 07:18 PM**

Roughly two hours until event time, and Gold & Glory will be ready to open up the Golden Gala for all!
