The Full Cold Moon - Spartle - 11-12-2010
An envelope, pristine and elegant, arrives at your door [or linkshell headquarters]. Glancing over the letter you notice that it was simply addressed to 'you' and that the envelope was sealed with candle wax, pressed with the seal of a noble from Ul'dah. Inside is a card..

Flipping it over produced a few more details regarding the event but not much else. So far you've gathered: The party is being held on 11th Sun of the 6th Umbral Moon (December 11) at early evening (3 PM Eastern, 12 PM/Noon Pacific, 8 PM/20:00 London), a ticket is necessary to enter and you are to dress nicely and wear a mask.

THE FULL COLD MOON
Besaid's first annual roleplayers' winter gala
Besaid's first annual roleplayers' winter gala
When: 11 December @
- 3 PM Eastern
12 PM/Noon Pacific
8 PM/20:00 London [/list:u]
Where:- OOCLY> Milvaneth Sacrarium, between the Weaver's Guild Sunsilk Tapestries and The Mining Guild, Amajina & Sons Mineral Concern.
ICLY> A grand room in the Mavanix mansion.[/list:u]
Hosted by: Oria Argall and co-hosted by Sin Darius, if Sin cannot make the event then the beautiful and talented dancer, Remilia Levana will substitute in. Any questions and concerns should be directed to Oria.
Description: While disguised as a socalite masquerade it's really a gathering for people ranging in all castes to gather, socialize and potentially boost Mavanix's "good" reputation. Players will need to buy tickets in order to attend the event, 10 gil for a couple (2 tickets) or 20 for a single (1 ticket). Each player will be given a number which will get them a chance to win an item or money! You're strongly encouraged to purchase a ticket early to save Oria's player some headaches.
Purpose of event: There are new members in Mog House and people to the RPC who are having trouble breaking into RP so the event is more for people who want to meet others and make connections. Also, shameless excuse to experiment with a new way of working events.
Rules:- Be kind and courteous. Griefers and trollers will be immediately blacklisted and reported to a GM. IC troublemakers will be escorted out by guards, yes I just ruined all of your fun.
- Please keep OOC limited in /say, or take it to whispers. Do not clog up the chat log, please. :(
- Don't be a hermit and talk to just your linkshell buddies, cause I will come over there and break you up! Grr! Grr! This is a masquerade, you shouldn't recognize some folks!
- Most important -- HAVE FUN.[/list:u]
===F.A.Q.===
Q. I don't have anything nice to wear! :(
A. Lazy, go find something nice to wear! Honestly, if you're having trouble getting gil and finding nice clothes, get in touch with me in the thread, in-game or by PM and I'll make an exception.
Q. Can I have some gil?
A. No.
Q. Define formal wear.
A. Formal wear can be anything from a nice shirt and top, dress or ceremonial armor. Try not to be.. too um.. raunchy looking. :) I might cut some slack for our pirate friends, but please do get in touch with me first before showing up looking like you just lost a bar fight. You must however wear a facial covering of some kind, either a helm with the visor down, a scarf or half-mask are acceptable.
Q. Why do I have to pay real gil to go to the event?
A. The gil made from tickets goes into the JACKPOT. Whoever wins, gets all the money. HOWEVER, if we have a large amount some of the gil will go to compensating the people who donated and guards for their time.
Q. But what if I don't win anything! You took my money!
A. THEY FOUND ME OUT. RUN AWAY! I can't guarantee you'll win, but it's a small amount for the ticket which can be easily made up -- on the sunny side, at least you had fun?
Q. If I donate an item or gil to the event, do I still have to pay for a ticket?
A. No and you will receive a free ticket so you'll be a part of the raffle and JACKPOT. However, I am limiting the number of people I'll accept donations from.
Q. Can I do something crazy like get really wasted and remove my pants?
A. Talk to me about it first and we'll see. :)
Q. How can I purchase a ticket?
A. Due to time constraints and arranging meetings to get this done ICly, it is assumed your player has already learned of the event through the invitation and the tickets arrived later through the mail. Once you've given your gil to me in-game (Oria), your name will be written down on a list and that list will be given to the guards so they'll know to let you pass through.
Q. I don't trust you..
A. Neither do I! Don't worry, the gil both earned and donated along with items will be kept separate from my things. I'll keep a list both physical and online to keep track of everything which will be made for public viewing. :)

Re: The Full Cold Moon - Nira Muzyka - 11-12-2010
Just an idea, encourage people to turn player names off for the duration of the event, so the only way they can recognize someone is by appearance.
Re: The Full Cold Moon - Spartle - 11-18-2010

Re: The Full Cold Moon - Aveline - 11-28-2010
Aw cute invites! The server-wide RP masquerade we had last week was a huge success so yours should have a good number of attendees too ^.^ good luck!
Re: The Full Cold Moon - Kylin - 12-05-2010
All attached threads moved to new topic in Assembly Room to avoid mucking up this thread and get to the heart of the matter seeing as it's an important topic.
Re: The Full Cold Moon - DAISHI - 12-06-2010
Let it be known. I'm committing a 100,000 gil to the event to bump the jackpot over 1,000,000 gil.
Re: The Full Cold Moon - DAISHI - 12-06-2010
Also. Mog House. For the win.
Re: The Full Cold Moon - Spartle - 12-06-2010
JUST A HEADS UP (H.U.D? :V)
As previously stated, we are merging with the Silver Anvil auction with the event (that's this weekened). If you have anything you would like to auction off please get in contact with Nikolai Petrilio, give him your item and set your price!
Re: The Full Cold Moon - Spartle - 12-09-2010
We hit the 1 million gil marker! Hurray! Thank you everyone who donated! Any extra gil and gil from those who wish to continue donating will be divided equally amongst the guards and our beloved cook, Saya as a thank you for the time and effort they have put into helping make this event badass. :3
Re: The Full Cold Moon - DAISHI - 12-09-2010
Technically the jackpot should be over 1,000,000 considering how much I gave you. Or is that going toward overhead expenses?

Overhead.
Re: The Full Cold Moon - Nikolai - 12-10-2010
I've received only two external submissions for the silent auction thus far. If you'd like to submit something to be sold, you don't have to physically get the item to me by tonight, but I least need to know you intend to submit it.
Around midnight tonight (PST), I'll be posting a list of the items for sale along with the lowest acceptable bid here in this thread. As I expect my chat log will be busy enough as it is, I ask that all bids be sent via PM here on the RPC forums.
IC, I imagine the items would be on display atop a table with a white table cloth, the tables perhaps decorated with bouquets of white and red flowers. Each item would be accompanied by notes on little stands listing its benefactor (unless they specify that they wish to remain anonymous) and lowest acceptable bid, and aside each would be a wicker basket, a quill pen, a vial of ink, and a stack of small pieces of parchment that ask for your name and your bid. Within the wicker basket would already be a few pieces of parchment, folded up to conceal the bids.
Now that I've painted such a pretty picture, we can't have that table left bereft of items, can we? The items don't need to have been made by yourself. If you think you have something for which there may be an interest, contact me through a PM right away!
Re: The Full Cold Moon - Nikolai - 12-11-2010
Double post~
Here is the final list of submissions I've received
Willow Wand -- 10,000 gil -- Keir Loell
Ash Macuahuitl -- 15,000 gil -- Keir Loell
Oiled Bronze Pickaxe -- 30,000 gil -- Nikolai Petrilio
Velveteen gown (red) -- 60,000 -- Castiel Mavanix -- "Weaved by House Mavanix's greatest designers, it's only been worn once by none other than the heir to the house."
Velveteen chausses (red) -- 50,000 gil -- Castiel Mavanix
Siren Statue* -- 150,000 gil -- Castiel Mavanix -- "A beautifully crafted statue of a mermaid holding a harp. Legend has it that the statue was blessed and enchanted by Llymlaen herself and supposedly wards off all kinds of sea serpents while at sea. Legend also says that Nophica at one time cursed it as well during a spat with her sister, though the details of the curse were never uncovered..."
Harrier's Jacket (Black) -- 150,000 gil -- Seirra Lanzce
No more submissions are being accepted, but we have quite an assortment now! Please PM me with your bids!
*Castiel's Siren Statue "is an IC bid and nothing more. Nobody has to really pay gil for it aside from ICly, though it may be a good idea to have to prove that they have the gil in the trade box as to avoid people just spouting random absurd prices. Starting IC bid will be 150,000 gil ^^. Size of the statue is about knee high (to a hyur)."
